Fridays Gresham Store renneui__ ALWAYS FIRST QUALITY * ___ J Our ' entire stock of One thing hasn’t changed since by-gone days and that Is the skunk population. There are so many out our way that Skunk Hill, rath er than Topflelds, would be a more fitting name for theTenEyci. farm. A big one strolled by re cently and our German Shepherd (ever alert) treed him in our woodshed while the mister and I suffered. Come moring a 30-30 put and end to the skunk but not the smell. "Did you ever smell a worse one ?” i asked. That was all that was needed to recount a tale of early days and a small boy's mischief. "On a fishing expedition, I got what I wanted but it wasn’t a fish. One spring day when I was eight or nine, I was fishing along our little creek as usual. I had start ed (perhaps) a half mile above our house and fished down. Into the bank on one side of the creek. Dad had dug out quite a good sized cave where in the fall he Foremost^ leans ¡Now 199 Starts Thursday, May 21-9:30 A.M COMPARE!

Sizes 4 to 16 stored potatoes, turnips, ruta- bagoes and any tiling else that freezing would spoil. When spring came the cellar was cleaned out and the door left open to air out. On this day I smelled skunk mighty strong and I figured there was probably one in the cave. I cautiously peeped in the open door and, sure enough, there was a big fellow digging in one corner. Now I had heard a lot of argument about skunks. Some folks said his smell was a highly inflamable gas and if a match was lighted any where near him there would be in explosion. Others said "Sure the skunk smells awful but that doesn’t mean he’s dynamite." I thought, “Here’s where I find out who is right about that smell’’ Dropping my fish pole and fish, I first let down the swing door of the cave; then I hurried away to cut a long pole from a bunch of alders. Sneaking into the wood shed, as I knew my mother wouldn’t approve my plan, I found part of an old newspaper which with a bit of string, I fastened to my pole. Then I had to have a match which we, children weren’t allowed to have. Peeping into the kitchen, I saw mother was in the adjoining room with the younger children, so very quietly I reached on a shelf and got two matches in case the first one went out. Then I hurried back to the cave. Lighting the paper, then lifting the door, I pushed the stick in as far as I could when bang the whole room was lighted up. I let the door down in a hurry but the smell was simpy terrible; burned skunk smell, burned fur. The whole com bination made me mighty sick, but after things quieted down a little and I had gained my sea legs, as it were, I went in and finished that skunk with a club which wasn’t hard to do as he seemed pretty groggy. Anyway that one wouldn’t steal any more of our chickens. 2 Stores To Serve You Better!
