The Struggling Sense Of HumOr.
We study the stories
OF taraway glories
Among those Assyrian folks.
Inscriptions are solemn.

And nobody told any jokes.

Some sculptor would chisel
A portrait with flattering strokes;
Kings gave out variations
About their relations
But nobody told any jokes!

Each citizen chatters
And looks upon life as hoax.
Our spirits are sinking,
Let's all keep on thinking
And every one try to tell jokes.

The percentage of pickouts in the
LAYING house is closely related to the
percentage Of corn in the ration, points
out Gordon E. Bearse, assistant poul-

Corn should not be included IN great
quantities but may be used in combin-
alton with other grains in the ration.
The birds fed an oat ration had the
least trouble with pickouts.
According to Mr.. Bearse, birds reared

Duck Hunters Happy,
Lots of Birds This Fall

Local duck hunters are agreed tnat
the opening day of the season this year
was one of the best in recent years, ana
that their efforts were well repaid.
Most of the local hunters spent the
first half day on the Yakima river near
Richland. Many of them returned WIN
their limits and the others, while not
having so many ducks, reported me
hunting and satisfactory time.
The ponds between White Bluffs ana
Hanford, which for the past few years
have sheltered very few ducks, were the
scene of some shooting, Hunters VINO
visited these ponds reported more IA
vorable conditions than formerly. While
there is less water in these ponds this
year, more ducks were feeding there
on the opening day.
Among those who hunted below the
Horn on the first day of the season
were Ira Hawley, Alex Parke, FRED
Reinhart and son, Herb Cords, @. n.
Parrish and A. NJ Rollinger.
Sunday several hunters tried their
skill at trap shooting at Hanford. Those
taking part in the shoot were Gus
Rollinger, Frank Meek, Arno krug
