Usually the turtle hunters drive to 

 some country that is well watered with 

 small streams and pitch their tents. 

 The country is then hunted for about 

 ten miles around before moving on to 

 a new camp.

I have kept sheep, poultry and a 

 rifle a good many years ; have shot a 

 good many dogs for killing both sheep 

 and poultry and in every case where 

 the owners of the dogs were respon- 

 sible they have paid the damages. 

 Where the owner did not have any- 

 thing the town paid the damage. Be-

Rex is a lucky little fellow in another

 There are four great-grandmothers, 

 one great-grandfather, and two grand-

 law will not be worth one single bark 

 unless the farmers put a growl into it. 

 The Connecticut way looks good.
