Mt. LAKE PARK

of West Virginia. This literature and
illustrated booklet in food and shelter
for upland game we shall turn over to
the Young Specimens Club here.
This last bit of real winter has
brought to mind the winter of 1885,
when farmers and sportsmen together
supplied food in order that hundreds Of
game birds and animals were enabled
to survive the ligors of snow and ice.
The protection of our wild life and its
propagation depends upon such organ
izations as that club here in our COM
munity: the All club member, the
farmer, the Boy Scout, the student,
the residents and any one else inter
ested in wild life.
This is the time of year when news
is scarce in the Park. For several days
we have tried to find some for this col
umn, but no luck We are like the two
darkies talking about luck
George Washington Jackson said, 81
sho is glad we got two kinds of luck
good luck and bad luck"
'eWhy is you glad we have bad
luck?"
"Cause," replied George Washing
ton jackson, IF we didn't have bad
luck wouldn't have no luck at all"
And there you are, That's all we
have had so far in getting news. Bet
ter luck next week, we hope; we hope.

And so we say it's great organiza-
