A few DAYS ago .here were no hunters

A few days ago there were no hunters
In Ford county. The old licenses had
expired and the new blanks had moi
arrived 90 that new licenses could be
taken out. So there were no hunters In
the county, beosuse the law says hunter
must have license. It was learned on
Monday that the blanks were at the
Rock Island office here, and 1t Is likely
that they had been there for sometime,
Those who want licenses now can secure
them at the Office Of county clerk Gonna.

OF all the low-down and onery living
hypocrlts on the planet Earth the
gossIper takes first place. Gossip or
SANDER has made many happy home a
hell on earth; gossip has blackened and
ruined the character Of many girls;
gossip has caused insanity and suicide;
gossip has parted lovers who would have
forever been happy had 1t not been for
''some talk" One little mistake often
causes gossip to rise with new strength
and Is started by the gossiper on its
deadly mission. A gossiper or slanderer

Mr.. Bay, who has been buying land
In Ford county this season, had an ex-
citing time at his Reno county Ranch
few days ago. The Kingman Courier
gives the following account: LAST
Saturday @. M. Bay, who lives some ten
miles north Of Kingman, discovered
fire in his big wheat field. Soon as dis
covered help was secured and by hard
work the fire was finally extlnguished.
About six acres of fine wheat was dis
troyed before the fire was gotten under
control. 1t Is not known how the fire
was started, hence Mr.. Bay is rather
uneasy 10 reference 10 the occurrence"
Here Is something about base ball
from the Stafford Courier. "Heard a
man say the other day that he had never
witnessed but one base ball game In his
life. He Is passed sixty years of age
and seemed proud of the fact that he had
never wasted much OF his time In such
frivolities. lie chews tobacco and
smokes as we'll, he has no land or pro.
perty interests and goes to every little
tolpfool show that comes along. He
never contributes to any public function
or attends any meeting that has for lts
object the betterment or uplifting Of
Stafford. He aflllaties with no church
or lodge organization nor does he take
his town papers but instead the Kansas
CITY Star. And to such man the going
10 ball games is rank foelishness. IL
puts us In mind of the story we once
heard about the minister who told tho
Young man that il he would stop smok-
Ing cigarettes be could soon save enough
money to own the brick building near
where they were standing and the young
man answered his argument by asking
him the questions: ''Do you own it?"
"No Sir" replied the minister. II do"
answered the young man. Every son of
Ham has some sort of weakness In his
makeup. Some of us like to fish, others
to hunt, others 10 motor aud so on-so
It's not 10 be that you nor the other
fellow should raise any kick because
some Of us like to witness a good ex.
