corduroy trousers are ching pulled
from their places in the clothes press
where they have hung since spring ana
are being donned by their owners
/ Clerks from every store in North To-
peka are hitting the boss" for day
off so that they may float down the
river from Manhattan or some other
point in search of the birds. Lying in
blinds at dawn and waiting for the
ducks to fly is one of the modes of
duck shooting that is growing more
and more extinct.
The hunters do not fancy the idea
of burying themselves among the reeds
and mud on the banks of some stream
lin the cold, gray dawn of morning
and waiting for the5 birds to be enticed
to their vicinity by their decoys. North
Topekans who have recently returned
from duck hunting expeditions report
that the birds are plentiful this sea-
son. Perhaps the most successful duck
hunters in the northern part of Shaw
nee county are John and James Maui
man of Rochester.
Not only do they know where to find
the feathered game but the time is
unknown when they shOuldered gun
and set out for a trip that they did not
return with good bag of ducks or geese.
