WILLOW VALLEY NOTES

Banker shoots himself because of
his debts" reads headline. If every
person viii is in debt would shuttle
off by the same route, there is doubts
of there being ammunition enough to
go round. We advise those who are
contemplating self destruction, to
take the drowning or poison trunk
line and leave the ammunition supply
for the next war.
Two of the largest rattlesnakes
killed in this valley in several years
were dispatched one day last week on
the farm of Hanford Hallett. Mr..
Hallett had one of his neighbors cut
ting his oats and the presence of the
rattlers was first discovered by the
horses that were pulling the binder.
One of the helpers investigated the
cause of the horses fright and found
the two old yellow boys curled in a
heap in the shade Of bunch OF
sprouts.
When you get garrulous in talking
about what won would do in case
gun was pulled on you, just take our
advice and soft pedal on that stuff,
for ten chances to one you never
looked into the muzzle of a powder
weapon containing a lead pellet OF
death in the hands of maniac or one
crazed with rage or liquor, with a
trembling finger on hair trigger the
only thing between you and eternity
Don't say what you would do, for you
don't know and you know you don't
know. After you have had the chance
to tell what you did, it will be waste
of words, for everybody will know
what you did and it won't be what
you think it will be. The whole ques-
ton depends on nerve and ones
nerves are not always dependable in
a crisis.
The blackberry season is on and IN
full blast Hundreds of pickers are
scourging the woods and many land
owners are in high dudgeon because
their warnings to trespassers are be-
ing disregarded Already has been
the spectacle of an irate farmer out
with a gun and threatened to pin the
clothes of the intruders to their anat-
omy and still the raiders return as If
nothing had happened. We have no
special remarks to make on the sub
iect but to save the possibility OF
tragedy, we advise all owners of
berry patches to turn the bull or the
buck sheep loose in the patch. Well
guarantee that old Dude or Darby
will do the business and do it right.
Those who have tried this plan have
never been disappointed in having
their fruit protected. No charges for
this, but sign for the R. D.-Richland
Democrat.
