Feeds Pheasdnts $25
In Ice Cream Cones.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES $500 some boy
or girl could buy 500 ice cream cones,
and what child would not be thrilled at
the mere thought of having an ice
cream cone every day for almost year
and half? The local game warden
is accustomed to many strange things,
but when Art Jensen, GAINESVILLE cafe
proprietor offered him $500 worth of
ice cream cones to use as feed for the
pheasants it was something new to him.
The cones were placed along the rail-
road tracks and few days later the
game warden arrived at the spot just
in time to see large cock pheasant
strutting down the track with a large
cone in it's mouth.

There was no Carlo, then, to
mystify: no Robert Taylor, Clark

the end of his active career.

And then there was Chaplin to
make things hum with his ro-
mances, and Gloria Swanson, who
rated second and third backward
glances wherever she went. Doug
