fish. Recently a large Buffalo
OF more than usual beauty, if one
may call them beautiful, was ship

the lake. This fish weighed %
pounds and is of the gold fish va

fish of the same variety is on dis
play at Glenwood. Glenwood per-
sists in becoming famous through
out the world. If the President
does not accept the invitation to
visit that city, they will at least
have gold fish.

Lindbergh swooped low over the

hills, headed straight for the canyon,
and down the narrow gorge not more
than 100 feet below the peak of the
higher hill.
Then he turned eastward and was
away at terrific speed.
While this act was theatrical it

listening to the drone of his motor

enemy, sleep.

Lindbergh, alone in the Atlantic sky,
