hook on with log chain to the rear
end of the wagon to snake it back in
to the road it was so slick and smooth
/ am going to have to tell a joke
on my cousin Irl Shaw's wife. 1t is
! most to good to keep, but am liable
to suffer if l tell it, but a correspon-
dent must take these chances in his
great sacrificing work, don't you see.
| Anyhow Mrs. ri Shaw has just had
finished beautiful pheasant hat by
Mrs. Mamie Smith and was at the
home of lady who is a dressmaker
interviewing this lady about some
sewing for her, when the children took
Yvonnes hat for live bird, it looked
80 natural, and forthwith proceeded
to load up an air gun with pop corn
that hadn't popped yet and make an
attack on the sky piece. Mrs. Shaw
rescued it just in time to prevent any
real disastrous results, but ladies,
you can see you are running q big
risk wearing pheasant hats even in a
closed season, no matter how popular
they are. The lifelike appearance of
the bonnet, however, is all due to Mrs.
Smiths exceptional ability to resur-
rect the fallen birds to a life like posi-
ton.
The correspondent has been haul
ing, with the assistance of his cousins
Irl and Roy SHAY. small stack. of
hay from the Elmer Newman place
near Letha. The trip is long one
and necessitates one only making a
load every other day. Some of you
may stop to ask why we don't get hay
closer home, but we will only state
we want the exercise and can't get it
any other way. 1t is a good job to
fill up time with; if you don't be-
lieve US try it some time.
Amos Helmick, ST., paid the Shaw I,
tribe and the correspondent visit
Monday afternoon and evening. 1t
is needless to explain that Amos has
anything we know of in our commun- /
ity backed off the map for telling stor |
les. If any of you think you show
any chance of competing with him we
will be glad to be at the sitting and
act as judges. Don't all come at once.
Karl Coonrod is still working for
E. L. Patrick at Caldwell, assisting
him in his dairy. Karl says he has
to get up terribly early, but Miss Pa
tricks cooking more than offsets
that.
The correspondent has told you he
has done this and that this time, like
George did when he killed the bear,
but we never had time to gather much
news from other points, so hope you
understand we are not trying to play |
lead fiddle, but it is hinka case of
have to this week, and we are not en-
tirely through yet. We have few
more items and then we will feel that
Dur share of the worlds work for this
week is completed as good as we could
possibly do it under the circumstances
We have been paying back few
.alls and visits around at friends and
leighbors since we have had few
ong evenings and on one of these
we visited at the home of
