Toss a bouquet-an acceptable
practice in any social circles-I say,
toss bouquet at the ladies Of the
Niblick Club. They have it COM
ing. Last Tuesday in their op-
ening card Of the ladies golf sea-
son, IS women golfers and bridge
sters speaks for the thoroughness in
which these Niblickers go about
their business. 46 of the gals
swung onto the course, in the most
sizzling day Of the year, shot up a
nine-hole round Of golf, and collect
ed their prizes. ;. Now inaugural
ed will be weekly ladies day at the
club to fall on Tuesday. A nine
o'clock morning round Of golf will
occupy its place on the program. :.
But this Niblick Club has been
famous these past several years as
an auxiliary organization to the
Country Club. +. They sponsored
several dances, during the winter
gave bridge luncheons. Altogether
they have substantially aided the
once nearly empty Golfers Of the
Club. ;. Now they have graduated
from the rank OF auxiliary and are
taking a place for themselves in the
city's golfing world. When these
girls go out, they come back with
the ladies'!

Andy Mayer, and Benny Schoen-

golfing phenomenon when they

.. Literally speaking they kill
ed three birds with one stone
or rather one hole. The three
hit the tee that looks out over
number eight, swung into their
drives, and then hOled out In

Recently a Glenwood man scoop
ed from Sank Lake 1000 pounds of
turtle meat on the hoof, and the
whole thing had natives a bit up
in the air at first. :. They charged
that nets, he had placed, were illeg-
al. Game warden investigation
showed they were properly attired
nets with a four inch mesh to al
low game fish to escape. He
pointed out further that it's a boon
to Sank Lake to be rid of the tur-
ties. They're fish eaters, were
told. Your correspondent Is con-
servation-minded enough to apprec-
late such measures, but there Is a
more personal angle to the thing
Now when we go swimming we
know that there are TOO less turtles
figuring at ten pounds apiece, to nip
at threshing toes in the water.
Kind of happy thought.

pheasant crop. Sportsters, farmers
alike were busily trying to provide
adequate feed for the starving bird:

bird life, If pheasants have enough
to eat, they'll get by. But once tnell
