I know little or nothing about open or closed seasons, but Mike Horiskey and his group of mighty hunters may take notice that a flock of nearly grown pheasants are fattening off of our garden pro ducts. Ail airplane is no longer news unless it crashes to earth. One passed safely over our heads Thursday morning winging its mo torized way northward. A half-inch of rain a week is keeping the southwest supplied with moisture. The usual weekly allowance was supplemented by showers all night Saturday and most of the day Sunday. An inch of rain by Monday morning. Ed Turner brought the mail from Atkinson thru the rain Wednesday of last week, his first trip since his return the Saturday previous from a sojourn at a Minnesota fishing resort. A seven and one-half pound pike was among the trophies of lesser weight Ed brought home with him. Since previous mention was made of the situation in the southwest with respect to sleeping sickness among horses, a number report the loss of one or more horses.

Ancient Greek scholars observed the fleecey clouds form in gro tesque and fantistic shapes, attri buted to the vanishing vapors di vine attributes and built around that idea an elaborate system of mythology. Up-to-date scholars gather the dry bones of a dead past and come to us with flimsy theories of man evolving from monkeys, fish or a mysterious something which popped out of the ooze and slime of a mud puddle—take your choice. “God made man in His own image, in the image of God made He him.” Thru the medium of “Outdoor Nebraska” the Game Forestation and Parks Commission has done much to call attention to hitherto little heeded beauty spots. Yet the combined efforts of lithographers, engravers and printers are insuffi cient. The matchless scene of a prairie sunset, the pink tints of early dawn, mid-day’s quivering heat waves rolling in across the long swells of low hills; the sum mer profusion of floral bloom and the tall bluestem waving in the breeze a farewell to the departing growing season; the sweep of the wind, the slanting lines of the rain, the crash of explosion of a 50 million volt streak of lightning, the mighty energy of a prairie storm; the calm of a summer night touched with the pale glow' of the harvest moon—these are things which no descriptive folder can undertake to portray. We go here and there to the far palces seeking: the thrill of travel and otbay scenes all too unmindful of na ture’s charm vouchsafed us prairie people.
