He had bought a new gun and took off for the popular pop-ular pasttime and exercise. On about the second shot the gun Chatter 6ox! Dear Suzy, Things are begining to settle down - here now with the men coming wearily home from the weekend of hunting. Friday the bovs took to the swamps and rivers riv-ers and got a bunch of ducks.

Then tha. night they came home to supper and to bed shortly after sundown. ' ' Some of the people get big ideas out after pheasants and think they . are still boys, even though they ' are mainly glimmers and are suf- fering from bouts of rheumatism generally. To chase pheasants from one end of the flat to the other, is strenuous work, especially as . most of the work many of them have done for years is to tie their -' ' mvn shoes. rnnirV.teS going back to making an honest -living, or a reasonable-facsimile reasonable-facsimile of that, and the other fifty percent going onto the public payrolls. The pre-election campaign was , fairly hot in these parts, with the sidewalk statesmen strongly in evidence and holding public meetings meet-ings daily and into the wee small hours of the morning. Up to date there is no report of any vote being be-ing changed even though strong arguments were heard on both sides. A little scullduggery went on the Wednesday night when the Re-nublicans Re-nublicans held a rally at the Crest Theatre. The first was done to the Hamblin brothers. They had just come to town with fifty pounds of pinenuts which is the same as $50, and parked their oar while they went to the rally While they were in there someone took the fifty pounds sacks, poured ten pounds into a paper bag, left the paper bag for the Hamblins and appropriated appro-priated the remaining forty pounds for their own use. The Hamblins and the local officers have narrowed narrow-ed done the field of suspects as the purloiners of pine nuts. They know that the person or persons who stole the pine nuts were all Democrats, because all the Republicans Re-publicans were in the rally at that time. They have also scratched off Homer Petersen and Leigh Max-field Max-field as suspects because they were very much in evidence at the rally, sitting on the front row and taking an active part in the proceedings. Homer heckled and Leigh leered, while the speechmaking was in progress, which upset the composure compos-ure of the Republicans no end, but was very gratifying to the Democrats. Demo-crats. I cant see an'y reason for these two Democrats being at a Republican Repub-lican rally in the first place, unless they are starting to weaken. But for them to don the robes of Republicanism Re-publicanism would be something I would have to see to believe. I must, say that if Doc Stains cant make better crockery teeth for his patients' than he does for himself, he can't be recommended for dentures when old iage leaves you toothless. Tuesday he was in the Mercer Drug, chewing both the fat with the boys and Copenhagen, when it became necessary for him to relieve re-lieve himself of part of the Copenhagen. Copen-hagen. He stepped so the door and let fly and when the cud landed it did so with a clank which surprised sur-prised Doc. He knew they made Copenhagen from horse's hoofs, but he thought they went to the trouble of removing the shoes. He looked down at the mud and sitting sit-ting right there with it was his nice shiny false teeth.

He returned home and was pacing his back yard thinking up a nasty letter to write to Sears and Roebuck, and in his despair at not being able to think of a particularly nasty phrase, he savagely kicked a bush by his kitchen step. The bush exploded and out came a large cock pheasant pheas-ant that sailed over to Dave Terry's Ter-ry's lot where it went into hiding. Rulon forgot his letter and went over looking for the. bird, and as he didn't have a gun he figured he could drive it into a fence, or he hoped that in the birds' befuddle-ment, befuddle-ment, it would fly into a telephone tele-phone or light wire. But look as he did the bird eluded him and from ' the last report that same bird was seen sitting on Bill Star-ley's Star-ley's porch, while Bill was hunting pheasants 3 miles west of Abraham. Abra-ham. The election is a thing of the past now with fifty percent of the A specific case of over enthusiasm enthus-iasm in chasing pheasants was that of Clint Black and Jim 'and Beth Knight. They started bright and eager at 12 noon somewhere on the South Tract " and finally their meanderings brought them to the Nickle Mortuary, which was very fitting, as the three of them were more dead than alive. Clint, who hasnt done a days work since 1922, was faring the worst. He got as far as the gate and weakly called for water and adrenilin. Jim was of sterner stuff as he had just returned from ten days of deer hunting, but he was no longer the eager beaver h had been. Beth was the only one who had the strength to negotiate with Nick for a return trip via car to their car which was miles away. Nek, seeing their predicament,, obligingly rolled out the ambulance and with the aid of Luella, loaded the three hunters in.
