The verey rude habit of prepar-
ing to leave during the final num-
Der of a public performance was
ludicrously emphasized at the Lee
ture Course concert Monday even
ing The audience was requested
TO stand during the singing of
America" and a large number
took this opportunity to get into
their wraps, paying no attention
whatever to the program, and Incl
dentially, marring their immediate
neighbors' enjoyment of the pro-
gram. Then it was announced that
this was not the closing number,
and when seated the precipitate
ones, continued the confusion by
removing their hats and cloaks,
and then still further continued it
by replacing them when it was
learned that the program was in
deed closing. The habit is repre-
hensible one in every respect and
those in charge should take steps
10 eliminate it from all local enter
tainments. 1t is entirely usless, in
that the few seconds gained in the
the start for home are of not SO
much value as the part of the pro-
gram which is thereby missed: it is
selfish, in that others who wish to
enjoy the entire program are incon-
venienced by the confusion; and it
is EXTREMITY rude, not only to the
performers, but also to those in the
audience who have the good mann
ers to remain quiet throughout the
entire performance.

Duck hunting at the Twin Lakes,
St. Croix county, and vicinity has
been exceptionally good this sea-
son, and a number of local nimrods
have had very good luck there the
past two or three weeks. A party
of hunters m otored up there yester-
day and found the lakes frozen over
and no ducks in sight. They now
plan to follow the mallard and teal
to the open water of Lake Pepin,
in the vicinity of Bay City.

ed today that they had not learned of
the oil strike if in reality oil had been
found. Several pockets of gas have
been found in the progress of the
drilling said Roy ConIey, "but if oil
has been found in any quantity, have
not heard of it, The finding of the
gas pockets is, ! think, a good indica-
ton that there is oil somewhere near.
