HUM'S MI ST HE PROTECTED
Although hundreds of pheasants
and other game birds have been dis
tributed through 'this country during
the past few years, hardly any of
them are noticeable at the present
time, There is only one reason for
this and that Is somenni wantonly de
stroying them. This was the concen
sus of opinion of tho Crook County
Development Club in a discussion at
the club luncheon last Friday. Other
birds can bo obtained, but It Is use
less to spend hundreds of dollars in
attempting the propagation of game
birds as long as a few unprlnclpalled
persons persist ln secretly killing
them faster than they can multiply.
The Prinevllle Rod and Oun Club
which has been Inactive for a couple
of years, ts to be reorganized in an
attempt to more systematically dis
tribute and protect game birds in
Crook county. And If anyone is
caught in the act of killing China
pheasants or any other protected
birds he Is assured of receiving the
limit of the law regarding such an
offense.

A CIIARMINO OCCASION
Charming in every detail was the
lawn fete and house party given
by Mr. and Mrs. Wlllard Wlrtx Tues
day evening for the younger set of
Prinevllle. The lawn was tastefully
decorated with Japanese lanterns,
and blended with a moonlight night.
Colored lights enhanced a lovely
dancing parlor.
A punch bowl set In one corner of
the lawn was the inception for a well
worn path across the District At
torney's lawn and later frolic ensued
when ice cream appeared with cones
as dishes. Such was the attractive
ness of the music, the home and the
host and hostess, that the court house
clock bespoke a late hour before the
happy guests departed.

Further questioning revealed the
fact that Dad .still owns tho farm but
hires some other father's son to run
that is not his own, looking for work
because Dad Just had to hold tha
lines.
Other boys tell the same story in
different words. "It's all Dad's farm,"
sighed one lad. "It was my calf, but
Dad's cow, said another.
It isn't enough to give the boy nine
mouths of schooling; give him a
chance at the farm business; even, If
he doesn't want it, it's up to Dad to
create and fill the want.
Experience shows us that if yon
want the child at home this has got
to come. The letter head that used
to read "J. C. Brown, Shorthorn
Breeder," must be changed to read
"Brown . & Sons." And then Dad
has got to play the game.
