Numerous Disappointments.
Such was the climax to the flrsl 500-
■ tie   automobile   race   in   the   Northwest,   to   the   christening   of  the   new
'speedway.' It came as a brilliant final
lo a  day  marked  bv  many disappointments, disappointments to the

drivers and owners of many cars

Tuesday. One thing- noticable
was that no guns were fired
within hearing distance of the
village. Chickens seem to be
moving farther out. But even
those who went out 20 miles, returned in Ihe evening with very
few birds. With the ginger taken out of them by the hard days
tramp, they must have come to
the realization that hunting the

nearly always is prairie hen
is a delusion. She is to the
hunter the pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow.
Said a Little Palls man here
Wednesday, who was still faint
and dejected from the preceding
day's disappointment: "It takes
a mighty good sport to feed a
dog a whole year for one day's
distress"'. Did you notice that
great chicken hunters always
begin the day following the
opening with the usual grind at
the same old stand without once
a
with the gun. The first few!
hours after their return in the
evening from the fields' of the
weary waste are spent in a concentrated effort at sticking to
the number of birds killed,
Munchhausingly agreed upon by
all members of the party. But
the affected enthusiasm always
wears off during a good night's
sleep and the naked truth comes
out the next day.
Here is another point worthy
of notice; There are just as
many even as odd numbers.
Why are there always odd
numbers of birds killed? Odd
numbers have been overworked
In the past; use the even numbers for a change,
