The “Rogues”, a local organization
which has for its object one good
duck bunt each year to be participat
ed in all by its members, made their
annual pilgrimage to the lakes in the
southwest part of the county the
forepart of last week. They returned
home last Friday night thoroughly
disgusted with duck hunting as the
pesky ducks refused to come in suffi
cient numbers to afford them their
usual amount of sport, and as a result
they came home with less than a
dozen, whereas they were wont to
come back In other days with about
100 mallards, redheads and canvass
baoks. A s most of the members of the
organization are democrats they refuse
to believe that the great shortage in
the feathery tribe is due to the elec
tion of a democratic president.
