These are the two men to whom the girl appeals-arousing such very different emotions in each. But there is third man who comes into the story crook upon whose better self this girl has strong influence.

 You can see by their actions that they are not at all alarmed, and you may rely upon it that after go- ing off a short distance they will swing back again. Then just as they hunch up over the decoys pre- paratory to settling, let them have 1t and unless badly rattled, you will se- cure three or four to your shot. as with fluttering wings they endeavor to alight

 Believing that the work which the club has been doing along the lines of protection and propagation should also include game and game birds and the majority of fishermen be ing hunters as well as fishermen, the club decided that to change the name of the body and reconstruct the club to better handle both sides of the game question they would receive the added support in their work oi the many hundreds of hunters whC go out in the field and hills each year.
 Change Effective January 1.
 The change will occur January this being the business year ending of the present fishing club. The dues of the new club are to be $l per year. The club needs finances only for the legislative work that may come up, the operating expenses being very light It is the active support of large number of sports men and not so much the finances that the organization needs.

TAX CLERK DEFAULTS $4,000
Wayne County Treasury Employe APP
propriates Mortgage Tax Funds.

Detroit-An amazing story of how
a clerk in the county treasurer's Of
fee got away with more than $4,000
of tax funds without even arousing
suspicion against himself, and while
on a salary of $1,000 year piled up
fortune of $4,000, came to light Sat
urday night when the board of county
auditors announced an agreement with
Anthony ]. Kloka, former mortgage
tax deputy.
For the auditors, Charles A. Buhrer
said that Kloka had acknowledged a
shortage of $16,402, and that he had
put up in cash and securities $2O,347
to cover this, and any other shortages
which may subsequently appear.
The auditor declared that neither
the county nor the state. which shares
equally the mortgage tax receipts,
would lose a cent from Kloka's adj
mitted speculations.
