1t is rather amusing to read
McClure's double column editori-
ais in the Ward County War
Cry, then compare them with
some of the editorials which Mac
wrote two years ago. But then
q change of heart always comes
to Mac when there is a dollar in
sight.
We know of q number of in
stances where chickens and
ducks have already been killed,
altho the season is not yet open.
The deputy game wardens are
on the lookout and the hunters
had better be also. Last year
thousands of chickens were killed
out of season and tho wardens
propose that this will not be the
case this year.
James Scoield: III notice that
the needle grass is worse this
year than have ever noticed be-
fore. The needles stick in the
upper lips OF the horses causing
their mouths to swell. ! have
one at the barn now with her
cheeks swollen and she is laid w.
A person should look their hors-
es over carefully and pick the
needles from their mouths.
Now is the time to look after
your fire breaks. Do not wait
till you have lost your stacks Of
grain, hay, threshed grain and
farm buildings, but take q little
time and pillow about your land.
Narrow fro hrpaks do not; cOunt
for much. Better break two
strips and burn between them.
The grass is unusually long this
year and prairie fires will be very
destructive.
