DESPERATION ON A HIGH LEVEL

It may seem strange but it is. nevertheless true that in match- i point duplicate games t in con- i tradistinction to rubber bridges the! most desperate bids are made byl experts rather than average play-;

ers. Take the iollmxiiiz case inr example.

twelve months they had 81 babies. He Iigured that 2. pair of men- dow mice having that many child- ren in a year, and nothing hip- penlng to any of the children, or the children's children, might re- suit in 1.000.000 mice in twelve months. Think that over. and you won't need to ask what good Ioxes and hawks and owls do,” said he.

The gunner had become interest- ed now. He gave a low whistle. "Is that really true?" he asked. ”How did you learn all this?”

”From I bulletin on meadow mice that the government sends out. It is I bulletin that every hunter who likes to go shooting should read. Now you know why we like to have 1 pair oi foxes living up in the Old Pasture. We know we have a better hay crop every year because those taxes are living there. 01 course if we were in the poultry business. and had Brest numbers of chickens, foxes could become a nuisance. In that case. we wouldn't. let them live on our iarm,” said Farmer Brown's Boy. "or course." he added. "there are good foxes and bad foxes. just as there are good and bad in everything."
