That's the motto Of Sheriff A. e.
Harbi1 IN, who went out yesterday and
put an end to the young lives Of fifty
teeny, tiny sparrows, and sparrow
eggs, found in nests about the Court
House.
And in so doing, the sheriff found
another use of the long fishing poles
which Jailer Bob McInnis has had
around the Jail for SO long.
"The poles,' the sheriff explained,
'have been treasured highly by Bob
for months. He has kept them var
nished and Furnished, and spick and
span at ali times He has petted them
lust like fiivver owner cares for a
gallon of gasoline. But Bob never
1yet has been known to land any fish,
! In fact, he's known as the president
of the Society Opposed to the Catch

1.-THE Bait Consumers Club. AS the fish

any good, thought would try them.
! So whenever birds nest wa
found in some inaccessible place, tn
Il sheriff would take the pole and dl!
lodge it. Exactly half hundred Ii

stroyed.
HARRISON says that he is going t
