Wally Brisbane was as surprised
the other night as the guy was
whose number was called in the
draft. He had just hauled of
and took a sock at the pins dowr
the alley. When every thing had
clattered to a standstill, three OF
them were standing. Wally
turned around, started to walk
away. Just for luck he tossed
his head over his shoulder to glance
back-and the three fell down.
Clarence Nathe got going the
other night for his best effort.
He whacked off 61O in bowling
for the second high individual
three game total in either
league. It is just back Of
Mark Franta's 643. While
Clarence was about this pleas
ing bit Of business, rest Of team
mates, Irv Nelson's team, were
busy losing three straight to
the Greenwald Bank. For
a lot Of past favors, Mrs. Irv
Nelson was having a lot Of fun
kidding Irv about the nearness
Of his score to the lowest pos
sible digit. >.
Pheasant hunting went out last
Sunday. It's one Of those seasons
that opens with a barrage and is
lucky to end with a single shot
Phillip Pheasant knows how
and when to take cover. The
season therefore goes into a stale
mate, the boys do a lot of walk
ing, and finally the season just
dies Of old age. Angle was
that for two successive weekends
a party Of fellows from Duluth
drove all the way to this battle
zone sector for pheasant hunting.
It occasioned their arising at
8 a. m. That's earlier than we
would get up to shoot five hun
dred dollar COW.
1t Is an interesting comment
airy on hunting that this year
the state department has Of
fered special five day deer
season for bow and arrow hunt
ers in Itasca county only. =.
November l to November 8. -.
It marks the first time the
bow and arrow has been re-
cOgnized as a killing weapon
and it was so done in a special
act of the 1899 legislature. -.
Heretofore the bow and arrow
was something sorority girls in
college used to get their pic
lures in the papers. 1t was
always the same. A girl, in
formally clad in skirt and
sweater, comedy, more than Of
ten puh-lenty good looking. -.
She was just at the point where
she would release the arrow. 1t
was disappointing however.
You never saw the target.
often wondered just how many
targets those girls made. ..
Our own experience with bow
and arrow was shooting the kid
next door in the pants with the
harmless, but singing item. . .
Which brought parental wrath
down on our ears. Here these
fellows are going out to kill deer
with them. They claim it's a
grand sport Followers of the gun
however, are dubious. They rea-
son thuswise. In the hands of an
expert the bow and arrow may be
deadly enough. But suppose
it should embrace even a few in
it's ranks like there are in the gan
toting divisions. Then what
Then they argue there will be more
deer running about the woods with
Arrows sticking out of their backs
than there are quilts in a porcu'
pine. They say that the novice
will often shoot out of range. We
can see their point in this issue
Though we hasten to add the gun
toters are really making no issue
over it, only discussing it interest
eddy. But if novice archers
are permitted to hunt thuswise
there are apt to be wounded deei
that go crashing through the
woods. :.
At any rate this Is the first
year that it's being given try.
-. If a deer is killed via this
rOute-who doubts it?-then 1t
will be the first since Sitting
Bull passed through here In
the winter Of the big snow. :.
.
More regularly the deer season
proper is only an eleven day affair
from November Is to November 25
Territory has been extended south
ward somewhat compared with tn,
limits of two years ago.

We read that in 1914 each
family In Boston was required
to pay a peck Of corn to help
poor students at Harvard.
After the Michigan trOUncing
we imagine Harvard is back on
the corn diet
