cluded that Bro. Lyon and other
neighbors blaze a path for him
to follow. Frank wanted to see the
big corn exhibit and renew his sub
scription to the LEADER.

David Ingebretson of Fairview,
proved himself to be one Of the best
rifle shots In the country one day last
week when q big gray wolf came up
from the river timber to hunt for
something to eat. Rosen and David
saw the big chicken thief prowling
around the buildings and David ran
to the house for his rifle. When he
returned the wolf was on his back
trail and flying for cover down the
road. David took careful aim and
blazed away and the wolf dropped In
his tracks. David killed it at a dis
lance Of over so rods. How's that fol
shooting?
Ben Sundvold OF Norway, who won
the LEADERS, prize cup last year wa
on hand this year and while he WASH,
hunting cups very hard he would not
have refused the cup this year had II
been his good fortune to win it, and
he only missed it by a point and 9
quarter. John Bremen won the cur
on 81 points, Mr.. Wimple had sl3 and
Ben had 81. The official scorer began
with a low average and carried out
this system Of marking to the end
The samples above referred to would
have gone about 80 under the average
adopted for last year. But this sys
tenn Of marking, while fair for one a.
the other, Is not popular.
