Kill Two Fine Deer

d. b. Wright and NJ. c. Ramsey
returned this morning from deer
hunt, each having a nice l2j-pound
buck.
They report that it was very hard
to locate the deer in the deep snow
and the frosty foggy weather they
found in the mountains north of De
Beque. They claim a record for
long-distance shooting.
Mr.. Wright said today:
I'VE sighted the deer on ridge
some coo yards away and opened
fire. They ran up a slope and kept
going away from us. We kept on
firing at the three of them, and fl
nally. when they were about 800
yards away, we brought two down.
We used open sights. OF course, we
fired all around them, too, and cut
a lot of trees down with the bullets,
forming corral the deer could not
get away from"
As result of the hunt, two local
families will enjoy deer out of sea-
son yet lawfully, as the deer were
killed in the private Glen Beulah
preserve near De BeQue.

HYPODERMIC NEEDLE
CAUSES WATERMELONS
TO SUIT ANY TASTE

Sentinel Special Service.
San Francisco. Dec. l2.-What
flavor will you have your water
melon? This is the question that
the modern farmer is likely to ask
his city customer not many summers
hence, if custom now prevailing
in some parts OF the west is put into
practice by the eastern watermelon
growers.
According to the story told by
Enoch G. llOgate. now dean OF the
law department Of the Indiana State
university. who recently visited rel
atiyes in this city, the artificial fla
yoring of melons has been tried with
some success in the HoOsier state.
A hypodermiC syringe does the
trick, says flogate, by injecting the
flavOring extract into the stem of
the melon while it is still green Va
nilla has been found most satisfac-
tory. Where the injections of this
extract have been made. the delicate
flavor has pervaded the luscious fruit
by the time it has lully ripened.
Those who have tried the expert
ment say that the principle is sim
pie, and that caution only is required
to keep from squirting too much of
the flavoring syrup into the stem at
one time, as the sap takes up small
quantities more readily and distrib-
utes it evenly through the heart of
the melon.
