Game of all kinds is scarce in this vicin- 

 ity. Rabbits and quails are occasionally 

 met with. Farther from town, fair hunt- 

 ing can be had. Ducks, ruffed grouse, rab- 

 bits, quails, racoons and now and then a 

 woodcock represents about all of the avail- 

 able game. Plenty of coots in the late fall, 

 although they are not shot much here.

THE BALL-BEARING OARLOCKS 



A device that does for the rowboat what the ball bearing did for the 

 bicycle. Every ounce of energy applied to the handle is transmitted 

 to the blade without loss. No clanking or squeaking — does twice 

 the work with one-half the effort. Absolutely noiseless 

 and IVictionlesS. The ideal locks for pleasure rowing, hunt- 

 ing and fishing. For either tight or loose oars as desired. If not 

 handled by your dealer, write for descriptive circular and prices.
