For some reason Bandon always rises to a high pitch when playing Co quille and, though in the last two years they have not won from the red and white, every encounter has been a real affair. This season they have been defeated three times, while Co quille ha* won one and lost one. Ac cording to dope th* locals should win, but then “one never can tell.” The league standing ia: Pet.

(Rose, as he lean* back in hi* easy chair and draws thoughfully upon his pipe. “There’s dozen* of them I can relate to you and I hardly know where to start. Gues* I will tell you the one about the big black bear and the brown cub. Many years ago, bwo or us were hunting deer in the eastern part of this county. * We were hunting through the green timber, around the heads of draws that were dense with salmon berry thickets. It was a pret ty rough country. ' I heard a scratch ing noise on the aide of a big fir and glancing in that direction saw * good- sized broWn cub bear ascending the tree, I was carrying a little 32-20 rifle. Drawing a bead I fired and down he came, at the same time giv ing a death bawl. His cry was an swered immediately and in a rather unexpected manner. From a brushy ticket came a snarl and a snapping of twig*. There was a large log nearby and we climbed upon it Here we could get a better view. The growl continued and the brush was cracking, as the mother bear made her way up the slope. Every now and then she would slop, seeking to wind us. I whispered to my companion that she was going to climb upon the same log with ue as it was the only one lying in her path and it was a foregone con clusion that she would spring upon it. Though carrying a big 45-90 Win chester, my companion was sure scared. He was fairly shaking and his eyes were as big as saucers. We stood with our guns to our ahouldeTs, our sights trained on the end of the log that the enraged bear was ap proaching. "There was a last savage snarl, a gnashing of teeth and the beast rared up at the end of the log. And wbat a bear it was! Both front feet were placed on the log; it’s big mouth was open and the froth flying from long yelllow fangs. It was a sight I’ll nev er forget. Owing to the sloping skull of the big beast it was impossible to try and shoot it between the eyes. We both drew down on its sticking place and fired. I know that I struck the animal exactly in the sticking place and I fail to see how my com panion could hav» missed at a di*- tance of not more than twenty feet The bear rolled off the log and di*-! appeared in the thick brush.

But he refused to let me have it and begged me not to leave him alone. So returning to the acene of the shooting, we skinned out the ctib and returned home. I have always re- gretted the fact that I did not go ahead after the bear with the little gun. But after getting a good look at the bear, which appeared aa big as a cow, it was rather ticklish business to crawl upon it in a dense thicket, armed only with a 82-20.” HARD LABOR AVE YOU EVER HEARD how obturdly easy you can make your weekly ironing* It I* to much easier and quicker juit to supply the brains to direct the operation than it is to furnish the power and endurance too.

Finally I managed to release my fin- gem and swam back to the boat minus the fish.” Now, folks, I consider that a real fish story and one that should not be suppressed, in spite of dir* threat*. Was somewhat amused upon reading an article by an eastern sportsman, in which he and his companion drifted down a river for several day*. During this time they stopped at different field* along the shore and shot wood chuck*. For these animals, they were using big 30-06 rifles. Shots were made all the way from 50 up to 250 yards and to cap the climax, a bird’s head was shot off clear across the wide river, by a well directed shot with a 45 automatic pistol. Well, probably if the onlly game w* had to shoot in this neck of th* woods was just wood chuck* w* would no doubt “draw the long bow” a good deal more than we do. If any of you hunters wish to see a sight that will make your mouth wat er, just take a drive down the high way as far a* Fat Elk and look*the ducks over. If there are even half as many there as there were last Sun day, you’re going to be well repaid fbr the trip. Hundreds of the bird* were feeding within shot-gun range of the highway on both the north and south side of the road. They sure seem to know when they ar* safe. They fail to pay attention to the noise of pass ing cam or even the blast of horn*. Most of them am Sprigs. Some mighty fine pictures could easily be obtained of them.

The ortly solution of the ani mal’s unuusal behaviour was no doubt due to the fact that it must have been pursued by either a dog or a preda tory animal. There are many case* on record where even big bucks have sought the aid of man when being pursued by some jungle animal. Will cite you such a case in next issue. “What Builds Babies,” ha* picture* showing what doe* it. “Help-Help Suit* for the Small Boy” is another important publication, and, fearing people might not know what children should wear, them is a booklet on “Suite for the Small Boy” and one on “Bringing Up Bobby." The fierce light of pitiless publicity is ca*t on the mystery of “Whom Sheets Wear Out” and valuable in formation ia given on "How to Dmss for a Sun Bath” and Ensembles for Sunny Day*.” The whirling presses of the govern ment printing office have turned out another masterpiece: “How to Make a Basket of Pine Needles,” and a dis sertation on “Utilisation of the Oal- cium in Spinach.” It takes 100 pages to tell about "Public Dance Halle.” Some of the 12,000,000,000 defiicit is caused by the proflgate printing of bulletins of this sort. Maybe some one in a fit of aberration some time ha* sent a nickel to buy a monograph on how to Jive at home, but mostly the hundred million copies of these bulletin* and pamphlet* have been given away to those who can be in duced to accept them. It is estim ated that 40 per cent of the publicity comes from the department of com merce and the department of agricul ture. Tons of publicity am turned out every 24 hour* and probably 90 per cent of it is a total los*. When times wem good no one ¿ave attention much to the continuous etream of bulletins, but now that 'on- gress is casting about to find places to economise, the enormity of the out put of pamphlets is sinking in. To get out these bulletins requires the time of some writer, then the copy must be set up and the bulletin printed and stitched. Then it must be advertised and distributed. It costa money at every step—in salarie*, ma terials and time. fence*.
