If It Would Only Snow.
'■ 'If it would only sngw so I
eonid haul hgme some firewood"
is a complaint occasslonly heard
among our farmers,
It seems that the old habit of
hauling wood during the winter
months from the unsettled sections east of us will not die out-
It was formed years  agg   when
the gwnersiup of wood, down or
standing, was never questioned,
except by first loading and hauling rights. The bad habit is no
doubt a sort of contagion left
by the big lumbermen 30 or 40
years ago, when if was cpmrnpn
to huy 40 acr§s of stumpage and
cut a township,
It is said that almost all
buildings here put up over a
dozen years ago are built of borrowed, taken or otherwise appropriated lumber.
Examine the boards of your
home rather than question the
h,onesty of planks in the political platfgrm.

Frank Bishop and Stanley
Schlicht were haled into Judge
Robber's court on Monday,
charged with tishing in Little
Rock lake with a sein. They
were arrested by Game Warden
Clark Eldred. Both denied the
charge, and offered to produce
witnesses to prove an alibi.
Consequently on the advice of
County Attorney Senn, the hearing was deferred untill the afternoon of December 29, when
witnesses for both sides will appear to disprove the contentions
of the other.
Eldred claims he caught the
two men in the act of seining at
the lake and offered further evidence of producing the sein
which, he says,   he  confiscated.
