McGregor, la. dispatch While
the snow is on the ground State
Game Commissioner Elmer C. Hin
shaw of Iowa will take a census of
the cartridges and p~heasants in coun-
ty game preserves in order to deter
mine how they have Jared in their
new environment and what the in
crease has been. Five thousand Hun
garian cartridges were brought from
Europe to Iowa in March last year
and released in pairs on these pre-
serves after having been kept at the
state game farm at Des Moines until
the mating season. Several thousand
ringed neck pheasants were also
placed on the preserves. Reports
from different counties indicate that
the birds have been doing well.
An unusually happy incident oc-
Cured at the banquet table Of the
Eastern Star at the meeting of the

a remembrance of the twentieth
anniversary of the marriage of their

mented by the presentation of a three
piece hand painted china celery set
to the worthy matron by Mrs. Il. l..
Biederstaedt. who was bridesmaid al
her wedding. The remembrance was
a complete surprise to the worthy
matron and her discontinue was the
source of much good natured badi-
mage on the part of her lodge asso-
ciates. Finally regaining her sell
possession Mrs. Torbert responded
appr~eciatively to the remembrance
bestowed upon her.

Mistakes in putting up doctors prescriptions may
result in death. How do such serious mistakes occur?
They may occur through the hurried carelessness of
the pharmacist or clerk who fills the prescription.
They may occur because he misreads the Latin terms
of the prescription. Often doctors write hurriedly un-
der stress or their writing is naturally hard to read. but

who have got wives and children or

Of saying YOU funked. Nothing of
