ognomy last week, } report great hunt
up in the wheat belt. They reached
home Saturday morning and have y
geese and couple of "has been" frisky

hunters there, that the game is as wild
and hard to capture as the ideas of the

deserves censure for not making an eX-
hibit at our fair. His only excuse for
the latter is that he didn't have time.
