On the day we're writing this
particular piece, it looks like little
else than winter. :. The last day
of April and snow. :. If April
showers bring May flowers, they'll
be the hardy variety. ;. Joe Frank
says they're going to postpone the
fishing season to June 18th because
they're afraid of ice on the lake..
Ray Fish said he was just crawl
ing because he'd have to buy an
other breakfast when he lost in
fishing. I don't see how those
guys can talk of fishing. It's so
cold the report is that fish have
grown ear muffs during the last
month.
But while we're on the sub
ject Buck Potter Is exhibiting
a live box that he built during

and yard wide-or more. -.
1t has two compartments with
a removable partition, top
you can readily walk on as
Buck demonstrated. It'll
last forever. Buck says he
spent a month on its construc-
ton, drew a blue print and
everything. It's not so
heavy Buck pointed out as he
walks over and jerked one end
off the floor with one hand. -.

box though. One in which

Jimmy Benson has a new kind
of spring fever. It's buying
and rigging up cupboard motor
boats. A few years ago Jimmy
got hold of a second hand motor
and trundled about the lake. . d. :.
But it wasn't fast enough. So he
got a newer motor, somewhat
faster boat. It satisfied him for
a time, but the sight of others like
Don Hanson skimming past him,
unnerved him. E. So Jimmy eX-
poets to be at the head of the par
ade this year. :. He's purchased
80 horse power cupboard and a
new boat, that is streamlined as a
Petty girl, and it'll probably be the
fast craft on the lake. :. Jim says
it'll do up to 40 mph. :. I wanna
a ride-but slower!
Well, you can't beat a bunch of
the boys from the rural precinct
by two points and expect them to
accept it as final. . Nozzir. :.
Not if you got sportsters like Fred
Botz, Harry Cooper and Dave
Hooper on the farmers team. :.
1t all happened back in that dom
key basketball game last week. :.
The farmers, after desperate
siege of tactical maneuvers on the
part of businessmen and faculty,
lost by two points. The next
day into town popped Botz and
Dave Hooper, clipper as kittens,
and ready to sling down the gaun-
let again. . . They conferred with
Stub Olson over the possibility of
getting the donkeys back. Next
year." Stub promised, because the
springtime is too busy. /. The
boys accepted that as acceptance
for their challenge. Dave Hooper,
who was to captain the farmers
team, had to be out of town and
missed the fun. . shouldn't be
at all surprised if poisoning on
every farm within five mile rad
ius would be basket on top Of a
pole. Perhaps a donkey or two
to practice riding. Or at the least
the boys will probably train on
