CAUSES DAMAGE
A few young men earlv Tuesday morning engaged In a free shooting match on rats which Infested th? basement of Hunter Pry's Store. With good Intentions, these men waged a good battle with plenty of lead flying In aU directions. How¬ ever, the basement door was open and about seven bullets found thelr way Into the home of Charles Klep¬ pinger. One went thru the bed¬ room window, two through the win¬ dows on the flrst floor and the rest against the brick wall. Other than broken windows and a few holes In the plaster there was no serious
damage.
Most of the evcltement was caus¬ ed by these bullets coming through the windows at such wee smali hours of the morning. Mr. Klep¬ pinger called Officer Macey to flnd cut what was going on. Macey made a thorough investigation and flnally found out that tt was only a rat shooting match and the boys were negligent In closlic the rear door of the basement, leaving some of the bullets go wild The boys have all been Identified and admitted their guilt and negligance and will pay all damages cau.sed thereby.

KATHLEEN NORRIS
Author of "Tht Lucky Laivrtneot"
Kathleen Norris, whose new story, TTho Lucky Lawrences," will be published in this paper as s serial. was bom, educated and married in San Prancisco. She has a remark¬ able record of success in the field of populsr fiction. She has attained this success not only because she is typical of her time and section, but because she throws a strong light on ultra-modem conditions, social currents and undercurrents. Read¬ ing her l>ooks gives one somewhat the impresiion of being an eaves¬ dropper on domestic scenes and a listener to private confidences, al¬ though the revelations are more in¬ nocent than otherwise. When she employs the dark side of a theme or of human nature it is to furnish a necessary contrast and present a moral.
Mrs. Norris began writing stories in 1910 iind has contributed to the leading magazines of the country. Her serials have appeared also in many outstanding newspapers, such as the Boston Globe Philadelphia Bulletin, Chicago Daily News, Kan¬ sas City Star, Detroit News, Wash ington Star, Cleveland Plain Deal¬ er, etc. Among her best known novels sre "Barberry Bush," "Tha Story of Julia Page," "The PooUsh Virgin," "Second-hand Wife" and "Walls of Gold."
It is a pleasure to announce that a new story by Kathleen Norris is to appear in these columns. Wa know that you will enjoy it.

In the assumption of this larger status In the economic scheme of things, motor vehicle registrations for the country as a whole were Increased by more than a milion and the auio- moblle manufacturing industry in¬ crea.sed Us output by 45 per cent over  Us performance of 1933
The two figures which, put to¬ gether, show that highway trans¬ portation Involved a basic expendi¬ ture of approximately 5.000,000,000 are those relating to tlie wholesale value of vehicles, accessories, serv¬ ice equipment and replacement of parts and tires as well as the ex¬ penditure for gasoline.

NAZARETH ROD & GUN CLUB AFTER VERMIN AGAIN
About twenty members of the Nazareih Rod & Oun Club organ¬ ized a fox hunt Monday morning In short order. It aU started with the frequent appearance of a fox in the HaU and Black Rock Woods near town This fox had been seen last Sunday by John Knecht and "Pat" McOonigle while on a Jaunt thru the woods and immediately on Monday momUig H. P. Yeisley president of the Sportsmen Feder¬ ation of this County organized a party to hunt down this prowler.
Eighteen men started at the southern end of the Hall woods with more faUlng in line as the hunt progressed. Nothing was seen of ih;. fox in this first drive, but many English birds were flushed. The next drive, through the Black Rock woods netted the same results so the hunt was abandoned. Whether the fox wlll return to these parts Is not known but anyone seeing faxes In the neighborhood should at once get In touch with a mem¬ ber of the gun club so a hunt may be organized at once and enemy Ho 1 of the vermin famUy may be ex¬ terminated
