OUT OF -LUCK
The hunters who are annlusly wait
ing for the Beason to open on chick
ens, and are planning to hunt them in
McPherson county, will be out of
luck for this fall, at any rate. As wo
understand it the farmers and ranch
men of that county have formed a
"No Hunting and No Tresspassing
Club" and will allow no hunting on
any land owned or controlled by
them. We are also informed that any
runtor violating uny of the rules laid
down by tho Club will be prosecuted
to the full extent of the law.
In .the past hunters havo been
known to kill more birds than they
could use and have left them in
piles to rot. Tho farmers and ranch
men will stop this by allowing no
city hunters on their property.

TRANSMISSION
When the people here began to
tall? of a transmission line from
North Platto a few weeks ago it was
realized by few people that tho prop
osition would be brought before the
voters so soon. But when something
of vital interest to the present and
futuro Paxton turns up thoso in au
thority aro quick to take advantage
of it. The idea of supplying curreni
to the smaller towns from super
power plants Is being put into prac
tice all over tho United States and
Paxton may ' feel fortunate in being
so situated that it can enjoy the priv
ileges of this kind of electrical ser
vice. After the line is completed and
current is being supplied to our vil
lage by the North Platto Light
Power Co., the people here will more
fully appreciate its advantages over
the small town light plant-especially
a plant which has seen its best
day.v-Paxton Times.

Without a hitch or stop.
Many years ago 'l worked
With old time circus men,
Machines to roll tho canvas
v Was never thought of then,
All then was done by hand
By old time circus men,
By hand with hoavy sledges
Stakes wero driven then.-
Now with gasolino they pull
Four wagonB loaded well
Light tho lot with gasolino
Drive the stakes like H 1. -
Ah well do I remember now
When I was Just a kid, '
Once a circus came to town
I beneath the canvas slid.
A canvns man he spyed me
Said, bow'd you get In there,
It was just about a week
When I began to use a chair.
But then 'twas lots of fun
To beat that circus man,
If my memory serves me right
He spelled his first namo DAN.
