That arizona wind We know
Has just about begun to blow
An when it starts abearing down,
It humps it's back ant goes to town.
IT bends the brush along the trails,
It whips the hosses' names AM tails,
Tt whistles thru yore jeans an shirt
And raises heaps Of dust ant dirt.
The clubhouse gets SO fulla grit
Y Oh CANT tell where to stand or sit.
1t blows yore Stetson off yore head
Ant turns yore nose and eyeballs red.
It shore can lift q heavy 1oad-
It blows the privies down the road.
The English language takes abuse
Then that OF Southwest wind cuts

BUYS Most Licenses

Jack Teasdale the shootin'est gent"we have
ever met, probably holds the record for pur-
chasing more licenses from the various states
and provinces all over North America than any
other person.
He starts shooting early in Septer,-
Der and does not lay up the guns until
March. This procedure goes on every
year and, according to Jack, it's the best
health insurance he can buy.
We saw Teasdae in South Dakota early in
October. The next time we met him was up in
the Thumb.
