AUSTIN, Tex.-A Texas woman
has discovered a bird in the hand
is worth quite a bit of cat food
Here's why:
She was shooting birds to provide
food for her cat when along came
a game warden.
She was fined $36 for violating
three laws-shooting from an auto
mobile: shooting from a public road
and killing birds protected by State
law
And $36 buys a lot of cat food.

ment of definite plans for the day by
DIR. Hugh H. Young, chairman OF the

a movement was started by officers
of the Baltimore Association of Com

CHICKEN FOR WINNERS,
BEANS FOR THE LOSERS

About two months ago the Easton
Rotary Club started an attendance
contest. Two teams were made up
from the entire membership, and
John Noble was captain of one while
Carter Richardson headed the other
side. The side making the best at
tendance up to July LIST was to eat
chicken while the losing side paid for
it and ate beans.
True to the arrangements, the mat
ter was settled last Wednesday when
Carter Richardson's group ate plenty
of fried chicken, while John Mobiles
had to be content with beans.
The attendance increased as re-
suit of the contest.
Frank M. Shook, retiring president
Of the Easton Rotary Club, made a
splendid report Of the convention OF
Rotary International, which he attend.
ed at Cleveland. From this report il
is very evident that the average mar
of the world is strongly in favor OF
peace.
One of the outstanding speakers
at the convention, said Mr.. Shook was
young man who travelled through
Europe and into Africa. While riding
his bicycle he lost his tire valve ano
not being near a town or village, ask.
ed for assistance from boy found a.
long the highway. This boy took his
valve out of his tire and gave it tc
the American lad. "Do you think
could kill that boy" said the one who
was helped. Mr.. Shook said he made
strong plea for peace, which seemed
to predominant the convention.
Men of affairs went there not te
have a good time but to attend strict
ly to the business of Rotary. Thirty.
