hands. The catch is that
midway in the season the sun
is rising at-you guess-yep, Z
a. m! -.
For years people have gone to
football games in the big time,
where you sit three miles from the
game and have to use binoculars
to spot the plays and the play
ers. And then they came home
the next morning to read the pap
ers to find out what they saw.

ones who attend the Saturday af-
ternoon fracases. The portable
radio. Hundreds, they tell me, will
sit out in the stadia of the land
this fall with a portable radio at
their sides. While they watch
what goes on they get the play by
play description as it unfolds.
Swell idea. You become a dual
personality and fill the bill well
both as fireside fan and a ring
slider.
There's little deal coming
up that all you gun tOters won't
want to miss. It's the appear
ance of the nationally known
expert shooting team, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bill johnson. They'll
show you the tricks and the ex-
pert way for shooting revolver,
rifle and shot gun at the City
Park Saturday, September 18th.
-. The shooting begins at $3.50
under the auspices of the Ro-
tary Club. -.
This team of experts is highly
unique in that they are supposedly
the only man and wife exhibition
shooting team in the world today.
7. +. That is not only unique it is
dangerous, in many circles, to have
wife who Is an expert with a
gun. There are many who will tell
you it is more dangerous If she is
expert than If she is just down
right ignorant of the use of the
weapons. Bill johnson is a
former University-press releases
failed to say which one-football
star, is 6 feet inches and weighs
200 and over. While wife, Fran,
is scarcely five foot 2, and a bare
100 pounds. Well, anyway we

with the hunting season only a
breath or two away.

pointed out before get one Of
them pill calendars that tells
when old Sol gets up. >.
Old Sol is quite fellow. He
is much like us. In the sum-
mer, when the mornings are quiet
cool, and splashed with dew and
are fresh, he makes his visit here
a mite early. :. You might even
say in the middle of the night.
But come fall andl crisp days and
those cold followings in winter, he
is lazier than a termite wallowing
in a six inch beam. :. He just
don't get up. j.. So in fall while
the boys are itching to get a trig-
ger shot at something, there he
Tolls just below the horizon a mad
deningly long time. Then in
his own good time he gets up
yawns a bit, and just about that
time the boys are blowing the
heads off anything that looks like
it has a wing.
