Says Wolves Plentiful Lacey McDonald reports seeing a total of -eight wolves in one day while making the rounds of his mail route. The increasing number of these barnyard marauders is causing concern among the farmers who have chickens, pigs or Iambs and makes it imperative that something be done to get rid of them. It was thought a wolf hunt would prove effective and preliminary arrangements made for holding one only to learn that much of the territory it was planned to comb constitutes the game preserve that has been established in this vicinity and that tinder no condi tion would hunting be allowed by the state. The east line of the game preserve is the road running north and south by the Callahan church and it is in this very territory that the greatest number of wolves are believed to have taken refuge. Just what will be done further to clean out the wolves is uncertain. An Enjoyable New Year L.
