OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
What do you say fellows. that we
give Deputy Game Warden Wiley
a real chance instead of condemn
ing both him and his work right off
the bat
Surely every one of you are
sportsmen enough to want to see
at least a portion of the game saved
so we may have future hunting :. !.
Surely you want to give this man
chance to prove his mettle even
as you would ask for the same
Surely you can't believe every bit
of gossip you hear about various
escapades concerning citizens and
the way they were treated by the
game warden +. We have heard
at least three stories about each in
cident and thought it time to search
out bit of the truth. Each story
had been padded in the very best
manner, each teller adding his two
bits worth, until some of them had
really grown to be Whoppers !.
you don't like to be accused OF Cos
siping, I'm sure, but what else can
il be q.
Again :. /. let's give the new man
chance the chance you would
ask if you had his job to do
after all he is only trying to en-
force laws that you help make and
he is trying to protect you by ar
resting game hogs
We notice that the bicycle rack
by the post office is not noticed by
some of the youngsters Of the city
they are beginning the prac-
tice of laying their bicvcles on the
curb in front of the office
One OF these days = bike win b
run over and the youngster Will
then have learned his lesson and
will go his way, telling others of
his misfortune, hoping that they
will learn by his experience :.
but they won't!
At the beginning of things, when
the world was young, the donkey
was esteemed by all the tribes of
men as wisest of animals.
The good Shiek l-Sta-Shun-Air
owned great herd Of these saga
cious beasts, which was the pride
and JOY of his life
Other shieks from miles around
came to listen and marvel at the
wisdom of the herd.
At such a time came even the
prophet himself--most learned and
wise of all the sons of the east.
With much glowing of pride, Ell
Sta-Shun-Air led him out to the
herd and said.
Behold, 0 Prophet, the wise and
talented Asses. Converse with them,
test them and see if they are not
verify wiser than forty trees full
of Owls"
Then the Prophet addresses the
Asses. Let us test your wisdom"
said he. Answer me this question.
What would an Ass require for
three days journey
And they counseled among them
selves and then made reply. For
three days journey, 0 Prophet,
any Ass should require six bundles
of hay and three bags of dates"
Very good" quoth the Prophet.
THAT soundeth like a fair and prop
er price
Where upon -Shun- Air
broke into loud chuckles and said.
did | not tell you they are pass
ing wise2"
The Prophet answered, Wait"
and he again addressed the Asses.
Il have for one of you" he said,
"a three days journey, but will
not give six bundles of hay and
three bags of dates for making it.
Let him who will 60 for less stand
FORTH
And behold, they all stood forth
and all began to talk at once.
One would go for six bundles of
hay and two bags of dates. An
other for three bundles of hay and
one bag of dates.
Finally one especially long cared
Ass agreed to 60 for one bundle
Of hay.
Then spoke the prophet, Fool"
quoth he, you cannot even live
for three days on one bundle lof
nay, much less profit from the
Journey"
True" said the long-eared one,
but ! wanted to get the order"
And from that Tar-off day to this, /
Asses have been known as fools,
md price cutters known as Asses.
