Several of tne members of the Owl
Club started Monday on a hunting
expedition dewn to Crooked river
They anticipate a fiine tira and ex

with turkey feathers.
Tom Reed has bottled up the Dem

Th Club wants to send a deliga

modify Congress a little. If we can't
do anything more we will send our
Sergeant at Arms I guess when he
carries a Congressman to the hall one
time he would always be on band
after that.
