WHIPPLE, editor of Sports Afield, America's oldest monthly outdoor magazine wrote 'me this week that a story I had submitted on goggle fishing at Beaufort and Cape Lookout is now standing in type and is scheduled to appear in the February issue which goes on sale at news stands January 15.

Sporting magazines do not pay very heavy for articles, so if I should sell one story a month to magazines of that type I would not be getting rich or resigning from this weekly newspaper jou.

BECAUSE in old-time Germany, newly married couples always drank during the first month or "tiioon" after marriage, a winewhich was made from hontv and during . this month they would keep apart from other people, making it a time 1 of adjustments. Soon the idea of a voyage away from all things fa miliar took the public fancy and that voyage acquired the name "honeymoon" which it carries to this day long after the custom which originated it is forgotten.

It is one of those things which happen in newspaper make-up departments during last minute rushes. A corrected slug is in serted in the wrong place. An other name for such a situation is "typographical error." But after visiting the various stores this week I decided that I could not stop something which I know has a following. If you want to find out whether your stuff is being read.. make an error in what you have written, plenty of people will tell you about it in a hurry. C. D. JONES is featuring one of the best possible Christmas gifts this week. I refer to the hams which are so attractively wrapped in seasonal paper. That is a gift that would be ideal for some fami ly.

And if someone wants to get close to my heart this year,.. one of those Christmas wrapped hams would turn the trick.

Quite a number of sportsmen have gone to the area goose shooting. And the geese that have been kill ed have all been in splendid con dition for eating, they reported.
