DrOI1n - Skunks
Out of CHIUert.

Elbow Lake-It wasn't an easy Job
nor was 1t very sweet scented one, but
Louis Schwarck, Herbert Fields and
Floyd Lehman, farmers who reside
north of Elbow. Lake, felt that they
were well paid for their work and the
discomfort of becoming somewhat dis
agreeably scented one day recently when
they drowned nineteen skunks out of a
culvert. The men conceived the idea
of trying to drown out the animals in
order that the pelts might be sold for
little spare change. They dug a
trench leading up to the mouth of the
culvert and then used grain SCOOPS to
scoop water into the trench About an
hour later the skunks started to swim
out OF the culvert and as they swan
out the men hit one after another on
the head with clubs. When the smoke
and scent Of battle had cleared away
no one was more surprised than the
three men to discover that there were
nineteen skunks piled up from which
they can realize about thirty dollars
from the sale of the pelts.

Dog Begs Pennies
Makes OUn Purchases.

Preston-Owned by the Adolph Brown
family at Lanesboro is a fox TERROR
named "Pooch" who is a precocious dog
to say the least. Mrs. Brown relates
an instance several months ago at
Lanesboro where most of the confec-
tionery and grocery store clerks know
Pooch and what to take out of the
candy cases when he comes in with a
penny. There wasn't anyone but the
clerk in a store when the dog entered
and dropped penny on the floor in
front of the candy case" she said "a
woman entered and the clerk ignored
the dog to wait on her. The dog picked
up the penny in its teeth, and then
trotted out the door and down the
street to another store where the pur-
chase was negotiated" I'VE know the
story is true because it was told to us
by the clerk who waited on the woman,
although the dog was the next in line. y
