There always seem TO he, ways Of

If there are not enough ships (Which
does not seem plausible) to import

DO DEER SHED
THEIR TAILS?
Subject of What Becomes of
the Little Flags" Discussed
By Two Putnam Ladies
Ask Friends to Bring Some Back
From Maine

When a little party gathering was
held not so very long ago and it be-
came known that two of the gentle
men present were going to Maine on
fishing trip. the conversation drifted
TO animals and some one stated that
deer shed their horns. Yes, and
their tails also said one gentleman
with twinkle in his eye. Two of the
ladies' did not notice that twinkle and
continued TO discuss this last surpris-
ing fact. What becomes of all the
tails" asked one of the ladies. Il
should think the woods would be full
of them, as there are so many Of the
dear little deer in the forests
While the two men were gone the
ladies continued to discuss the matter
and stated that they hoped that the
gentlemen would bring them home
some pretty deer tails as they thought
they might be useful in decorating
winter coats or to make neck pieces,
or. they were sure. that something
might be done with them and that II
was a shame to allow them to rot
away down in the Maine woods.
The gentlemen are now back in
Putnam. but as far as can be learned
they did not bring any Of the pretty
little flags that grace the hind
quarters of a yenison What they told
the ladies is not known either. bat at
last accounts the ladies were still talk
ing deer tails and how they should
think that they would be collected as
they were sure they would be useful
for so many things They are still
thinking over the problem and per
haps the outcome viii be a deer tai
