ROWING

ROWING
Copyright, 1913, by The Newspaper Enter
prise Association
Rowing is the reason why Man invented
the motorboat
The equipment for rowing consists of one
rowboat, one pair of oars, one deep chest,
one pair of brass lungs, one sturdy back and
a bouquet of bIsters. An ample amount of
waHelets to float the boat also is essential.
This fact goes without saying. Not so the
boat. It does not go until it has been poled
off the gravel with the assistance of a va
riety of breathless, printless EXPLANATIONS.
The next process for the daring oarsman
is to seat himself safely in the craft. 1t can
be done and often is done. 1t is done even
without tipping ones fair passenger into the
minnow-haunted depths. This is generally
accomplished by leaping at the boat when
it's not looking and getting firm grasp of
starboard and port. Then kneel gently and
assume sitting posture, but do not get
nervous if your f. passenger screams. You
have merely squashed her summer bonnet.
which in no way affects your right to nayi-

Having fitted the oars in the oarlock-
which is no more difficult than threading a
needle or flying kite in a cellar-you pro-
coed to insert both oars in the briny at a dis
lance behind your back. Then pull smartly
on both paddles. This is to put your craft
in motion, so heave 20! According to the

An Endless Task.

The more one tries to swat the
flies, the more they keep him swat
ting; I've killed peck, and yet, by
heck, upon their trail I'm trotting.
From break of dawn till day is gone
l keep my swatter swinging, yet
they arrive is blocks of five, their
aunts and cousins bringing. They
come in herds, the beastly birds, to
haunt me in my slumbers, and
though | swat till I'm hot, l can't
count their numbers. / often think
of that old gink renowned for vain
endeavor, who rolls rock uphill a
block, and rolls it up forever; his
job is bad, the poor old lad-no Won
der he's a kicker; we sympathize
who swat the flies and find them
growing thicker. We biff and swipe
when flies are ripe, we slug and smite
and spank them; we charge around
and swat and pound and fiercely cry,
dash blank them No time to read
the poets creed, no time for talk up
lifting, no time for thought-we still
must swat, along our pathway drift
ing. No time for song-the whole
day long we ply our sad vocation; no
time to die while there's fly that
needs decapitation. What wonder,
then, that 'swatting men grow weary
of their swatters, and, faint and
weak, let out shrek, at which the
welkin totters?-Walt Mason. -..

NO TIME OF YEAR NOW TO TURN
PHEASANTS LOOSE.
state Game Warden Hinshaw OF
Iowa, Will Not Free Birds I'm
til Next Winter.

The state game department will
not turn loose in Iowa fields the
thousands of pheasants being raised
this year until after next winter has
been concluded.
Warden E. e. Hinshaw has had
many offers of pheasants grown this
season and the sellers go on the
theory that this is just the season for
turning loose the young pheasants.
But Mr.. Hinshaw thinks otherwise.
1--WE have about 1900 young
pheasants out at the game farm on
the state fair grounds" said. he, "and
we will keep them there until next
spring. l am satisfied that a very
large proportion of the pheasants
that were turned loose in Iowa last
year persisted before the winter was
over. They are the@prey of every
thing-hawks, skunks, cats, hunters.
The time to run them out is just be-
fore nesting time when they can go
at once to the fields for nests. At
least we are going to try that plan.
eff we can have about two more
winters as favorable as the last
ones, the state of Iowa will have
abundant quail. They are coming
back in Iowa in great numbers. The
report is they have been far more
numerous in nearly all parts OF the
state than for many years. The quail
likes civilization, but it is not hardy.
There are number of places in
the state where pheasants are being
grown and are for sale. We do not
buy any now for the state but may
do so later and keep them over the
wiptar''
