hunting Season Near at Hand

The cool weather OF the past few
days has turned the thoughts Of local
hunters 10 guns, The big woods and
runs. II is but short while before
xhe hunting season opens and from re-
ports m this section there should be
some good sport in the cover. The old
hunters do not look forward 70 the
iirst days in suen intense anticipation
rs the less experienced sporsmen as
they know that until the leaves begin
20 fall only ain occasional shot is
possible. But a little later when the
birds leave the cover Of the big woods
and ret into the runs then their fun
will begin. Partridge, quail and
pheasanis are reported as plentiful this
season and some good sport is antiei-
psled.

The police with drawn revolyers,

Not Paint

The worst mistake In painting is not
putting oil That cost about 10 per
cent; you keep your money year and
pnY 10 per cent. for II.
Paint would have TO come down p
per cent. To make 10 per cent. on the
job, for wages do not go,down.
The worst mistake is "cheap" paint,
II costs from 80 per cent to 100, first
cost, and another in wear.
What liar "cheap' is! "Put-otf " is
bad.enough; "cheapH is ten times
worse.
