Wise old bird is the owl. Young
or old, his sagacity seems to be
a predominating quality Of his
specie. The other evening Mr..
and Mrs. AL Vogel were driving
from Grey Eagle. A short way out
of town, they heard the flutter of
wings, felt the car churn into them.
Both decided the impact had killed
a bird. They came home, put up
the car for the night, next morning
AL drove it to work. Barely
at work in his store, Al was inter-
rupted when young fellow rushed
in with the announcement bird
was hanging on the front of his
car. So out trouped AL to give a
look-see. There, caught in the
front bumper, was little owl, his
starry eyes blinking nonchalantly. /.
Alive, his wing had caught and held
him in the bumper. Now in
a box at the store, the little fellow
is a pugnacious bit of fluff whose
scruff bristles and claws contract
when he is approached.

For men only titles the new
fall show and the big top is COW
cred by the sky itself and the
setting is shocked corn fields,
dense plOtches of underground.
-. And the girls are left out
Ito weep and to mourn. ..
For the pheasant hunting sea-
son this year, that runs IL days,
one day longer than year ago,
is open to ROSTERS only. il.
From Z a. m. until A p. m. each
day-October IA thru October
3O-the boys may shoot. =.
Bag limits are set at three birds
daily, six in possession, and
eighteen for the season. Since
the Last legislature ruled that
after all a Hungarian partridge
is q game bird and not just
necessary part of the scenery
here-thO I've never seen one,
the season will be open on those
birds thru October IA to 16....
It's the south and west that is
the pheasant hunting season ter
rain, according to lines set. And
highway II through this city is the
eastern and northern boundary on
the pheasant zone. . So cross
the road boys and watch out for
the girls. -.
Just to show you what happens
to duck hunter almost before Sep
TENDER, beautiful autumn maiden,
has caught her rapturous breath,
I CHANGED on Laurel Kells the other
morning. +. Laurel, with his mind
far from matters legal, was fond
ling a pair of rubberized gloves, of
the simple canvass version. They're
dipped in molten live gum. i.
"What're they for" asked a lead
ing question. And the answer:
for picking out decoys. Chilly,
northern water is not conducive to
retrieving decoys with bare hands.
.. +. The gloves are the clear ticket
and are of the same specie the
northern fishermen use for gather
ing in their nets. And Laurel
was offering to let his secretree,
Hazel Kringen, use them for dish
washing until the duck blasting sea-
son is on. And Junior Vande-
steeg, with a slough all to himself,
busily posting against trespassers.
L. A. Walker, caretaker at the
Country Club, dropped one the
other day. Sometimes he for
gets his watch when he goes to
work; and though internal me-
chanism will warn him that din
ner is near, yet it cannot be de-
pended on for accuracy. >. So
at noon one day he arranged
two sticks in the sod, one long
er than the other. When the
shadow of the one falls on the
other, it's so near noon, you
would be calling man a liar
to deny it. Curious item too
is that in the moving at the
Club they have used nearly a
mower a year, one these hand
powered type. But two years
ago they purchased one that
has abeen a virtual gem, no re-
pairs and still going strong.
Just for a preview of what the
coming attractions hold, it might
be good policy to see just what
some Of the other football teams
are doing about the district. Only
a few of them got out last week
in the preliminary drills but this
week will see every team from Po-
dunk to Metropolis under way. /.
Next door neighbor Melrose comes
under the glass first, so we'll give
you what we know of them. =.
Though preliminary dope Is
at best scant, MelrOse is always
good competition. Squad num-
Der and progress will have to
cOune LATER But the biggest
