wanna Buy a Duck %

The game law of this so-called
state (facetiousH referred to by Jim
Farley as the Soviet" of Washing
tony clearly states that "it shall be
unlawful to take or attempt to take"
game birds, etc.
Tuesday evening, while making
his rounds, Patrolman Rube Gest
was startled by loud quacking. Al
most simultaneously a duck came
fluttering to earth right at his feet.
Naturally the policeman attempted
to stake" Mr.. (or Mrs, as the case
might be) Duck. He succeeded. cut
its throat and took it home, figuring
Of course that all the little Gests at
the Gest home would feast upon
roast duck. E
During the morning, his next door
neighbor came over for a visit and
seeing the duck, exclaimed: "Oh, I
see you have caught my tame NAL
lard" And so it was. Nothing left
for the patrolman to- do but say:
"Sure, take it along" Which she
did.
Technically, the cop is due for
a prison sentence, probably, for he
certainly broke the law which is
mighty. -.

Last Saturday Kennewick foot
ball fans were well rewarded for
their loyalty to the team, although q
biting southwest wind made things
in general very uncomfortable. In
the first quarter of the game be-
tween Kennewick and Gle Elum
the teams were well matched, Meth
err getting the edge on the other, al
though the Gle Elum boys were
much heavier.

first half Gle Elum started a drive
from their own 30-yard line that
ended up a few minutes later in
the Lions end zone They failed to
make the extra point and the half
ended with the ball in Kennewick's
possession. In the third quarter
Kennewick played the kind of foot
bail that makes a championship
team, and one or twice a touchdown
looked to be but matter of min
utes. -
But Gle Elum was stubborn and
determined to hold their lead. The
