Show and there are plenty more like him who will return to home and hearthside with nothing to do until the 'fishing season opens next year. Well, I must dash now and get a little Christmas shopping done, at least go through the motions and then put it off for another day. Toots. Chatter Box Dear Suzy, Here it is a little more than a week until Christmas and all we have for a white Christmas is plenty plen-ty o'f fog. Of course, even that will help if we can't do any better, and on the other hand, we don't want a white Christmas overdone as it was here a few years ago. Even the sheepmen out on the desert are dreaming of a white Christmas, because they say the range is so short of water that the woolies out there have been weaned wean-ed from the stuff and stampede with fright when they see some water. And on the other hand, there are those who arent' particularly con- to see if Fuzz really will get a crop of head covering growing there, and if he does Glen wants to be the first customer. If Fuzz raises anything besides his hat it will surprise me, and even if he raises his hat that will also surprise me. Comes Friday night and the geese can leave Mud Lake and go on about their business. It is lucky for them that they can fly because be-cause they can't walk through the mud caused around the edges of the lake by the drool from hunters looking at them. It will also be a time when husband and wives can get re-acquainted and see more of each other. Beryl Callister says she hasn't seen Tony since the opening. The other night his kids got a glimpse of him and thought he was a stranger. Tony isn't an exceptional case cerned about a shortage of water, comes the holiday season And still on another hand (in case you have three hands) there are beverages that have a little edge on water, as for instance, milk and soda pop. One thing for sure, you sit about and think you have seen and have heard everything and then something some-thing comes along that makes that idea fade like boys at chore time. Speaking of startling developments Fuzz, of all people, has gone farmer farm-er on us. He up and bought a farm the other day for no good reason at all only that it is getting get-ting so difficult to find a place to pheasant hunt he figured he had better get something of his own. It will make pheasants come quite high these days, but everything every-thing is high and that won't be anything different. Possibly the most upset about the farm buying turn of events is Glen Crawford. He stopped by the other day and asked Fuzz what he was going to raise and Fuzz said "a new .head of hair." It is a good idea as both of them need it, and too, Glen is so bashful about his lack of hair that he refuses re-fuses to go without a hat. Anita says she is awfully tired of looking look-ing at Glen retiring for bed clad in a long nightgown and Stetson, and hopes that Glen gets the formula. for-mula. The crop hasn't come up on the farm as yet, but Glen is watching it closely and to date has burned 31 gallons of gasoline in his lantern lan-tern checking the place at nights |
