The Sank Centre deer hunters
arrived home last Friday bringing
13 deer with them. As there were
but nine in the two parties that
went out from here the number
of deer brought down was within
the laws limit. There is generally
a good crop of hunting stories on
tap but this year the boys were a
little more close mouthed than US
ual. 1t is said, however, that the
crack shot of the party succeeded
in getting but one deer, and that
was on the day out. The dominic
of the party shot one and missed
another. One of the brave hunts
men, so say the other fellows, spied
a doe standing broadside some 300
feet distant. He blazed away at
i the animal two or three times. The
doe simply turned her head, then
started for the hunter and got very
close up to him. Said hunter shot
three times more an tore great
holes in the atmosphere with his
| ammunition. The doe then started
on run and disappeared. There
are other stories, but it would not
do to tell them all at this juno
ture. Other parties came through
here on their way home. One
party of four and six large bucks,
and small one and a fawn. The
hunters report the shooting fairly
good this year.

store at Worthington a few months

ton. Hence, the new drug store.
Mr.. Myers will retain his home
at Worthi1lgton, visiting Sank
Centre from time to time. The ac-
tive management of the store here
will be in the hands of his broth
er, H. S: Myers. j. Arnold, a
registered pharmacist of exper-

tain with a large mirror back of it
is one of the features of the store.
An elaborate system of electric
lighting is installed.
The stock is large and complete,
consisting of a full line of drugs
and medicines, stationery and
school supplies. Mr.. Myers is
pleased with the outlook here and
says he expects to have his expec-
tations realized.

THINK SEA AGAIN
 CLAIMS AVIA10RS
Ixo, Attempting to Greet Woman on Ship, Missing

New York. Feb. 27 R-A flight in the bitter cold of Saturday after noon by pilot and a passenger who wanted to meet an incoming liner and wave greeting to woman pas senger. Was believed today to have added two more names to the seas role Of missing fliers.
 The two missing men are Walter Hendricks, 27 year old, of New Gar dens l.. l.. a professional pilot. and the passenger is believed to be Dave Staggert whose address is unknown.
 They took off from Curtiss field. l.. l., Saturday afternoon with four hour gasoline supply and nothing has been heard of them since. A search by air and water failed to bring any trace of them or their plane.
 Hendricks fellow aviators feared the plane. which was not equipped for landing on water. had been fore ed down with a frozen engine. It would not have remained long nfloat and the only hope was that the oc- cupants of the plane were picked up by some small ship which has no ra- dio.
 An area of several miles off Fire Island and nearby beaches and cpves were scanned yesterday from plane hired by man said to be a brother of Staggert. Coast guard cutters also searched the waters off Fire Island.
 The missing passenger visited sev- eral hangars at Curtiss Field Satur- day afternoon and attempted to hire a plane and pilot. He said he want ed to fly out to meet an incoming liner to wave the first greeting to a girl returning on boat from Europe. All the regular airplane operators shook their heads and ad- vised against making a flight that day
 He finally approached Hendricks, who does not have plane and got his consent to attempt the flight. Hendricks secured the loan of a Waco biplane from Frederick H. Brohan, of Queens. whop he had been teaching to fly, on the plea that he had a chance to pick up little change" The takeoff was witnessed by only two persons.

In a pocket had been left safe deposit box keys about which Captain Horton had been a bit anx- ious but the keys were there when the coat was taken off the lad.

 "Gymnasiums and lockers make up much of the remainder and while admit there is a need for some improvement here, the city must take the same attitude as a private home owner who knows his house needs improvement. but who must wait for favorable times to bring his house to the condition he wishes.
 "Several years ago the High school worked on two full sessions a day and worked satisfactorily. This isys- tenn should be put in effect again for a few years. By that time the city will have paid off part of it's ob- legations and we will be in a position to proceed with building. probably in another section of the city. But even then we should insist on a sane plan where education is considered most important-not gymnasiums, cafcterias and auditoriums.
