i,rating the departur. of the boys IF

|, Mrs. C. S. Gibbs is again assisting
in the fall shipping and Office work
connected with the Home Nursery Co.
Mr.. Freeman, the manager, states that
he has not solicited so much business
this year, on account of the difficulty
in securing labor and also to the fact
that last year his orders were so num-
erous that it was absolutely impos-
sible for him to get them all packed
and shipped before the cold weather
came on. This thriving business is a
credit to the community and deserves
all possible support.
Every hunter in the district was out
before sun-up Monday morning to Sc
Il
cure good bag of pheasants. AS the
birds are plentiful this year few were
disappointed and many secured the
limit. However, the ranchers in many
parts of the valley are up in arms over
the lawless way in which some of the
sportsmen treat private property.
Many have reported gates torn down,
or left open, chickens, turkeys and
guinea fowls ruthlessly slaughtered
and numerous other depredations. It
is to be regretted that with plenty of
game in the open, private property
should be so abused and the hunters
will have to take care or many farms,
at present open to hunters, will be
closed next year. ~
