LIFE OF A DEER
By kenneth sci,oonOver


 When deer is born he has real long legs. His coat is spot ted and he is a tan color. The mother hides her youn fawn in tficktt. She tells it to lie still when danger is near. The spots on his coat makes him look like the ferns with sunlight spots com ing down on them.
 If bear happens to come along, the fawn won't run away; he will lit stir and the bear won't see him. When they are small they have no scent to betray them to their en- emy.
 After he is about one year old he leaves his mother and shifts for himself. Then he starts go- ing up in the mountains in the srring to get better food.
 When he starts to get his horns his head gets itchy and he wants to scratch it. So he will rub his head against a tree trying to scratch it.
 After he is about four years old he has real good set of horns. Then he is always in fights with other bucks. After he gets older end has bigger set of horns we call him a stag.
 When he is real old he wants to be alone all the time up in the mountains. Sometimes another youn buck stays with the old stag to keep him company. After he is about ready to die, his eyes will turn guant and the hair on his face will turn white from age. Then he is mean.
 Sometimes a youn buck vii want to fight with the old fellow. The old stag will sometimes kill the young buck.
 When deer goes off to die he walks slow and looks tired. No body knows where deer go off to dis Some say in thickets. Others say theY fall in the water and sink out of sight.

done that we might all benefit.

many ideas advanced which, to
me, go far in assisting one to
better perform his duties as a
servant of the people.
Most of the good things, and
good times, of life must be
earned. This seems to be one of
the laws of life. John Ruskin
said a long time ago: "the law
of nature is that a certain
amount of work is necessary
to produce a certain quantity
of goods. If you want knowl-
edge you must toll for it; if
food, you must toll for 1t; if
pleasure, you must toll for it."

A batch of folks were mad at
us this week. They wanted to
know why the story of their
party, trip, meeting, election,
appointment, marriage or
whatever - wasn't in last Fri

whose stories did appear de
manded to know why the items
were so small, why such-and-
such and so-and-so was left out
of the writeup.
We'll. good people, we simply
had too much news last week
for the Is pages we had avail
able to put it in. After we had
planned that the paper should
be 16 pages { that decision was
made. of course, on the basis of
the amount of advertising we
had to rum, in came a flood of
local news.

commodity we sell. And we hate

the relatively minor parts of
stories-and that usually means
dropping the last paragraphs.

should have been handled.
