Well, fishing is just about tha
same as tot week. A lot of fish-
ing but not too many good catch-
One thing wrong St

Lake Graham it the water amelia
so bad that the fish are wearing
masks, and they don't take time
to remove them to bite! Lake
Graham is falling a few tot
while P-K lake is running over
the spillway. We don’t have the
rainfall at the right place to help
Lake Graham. Should we catch
a few feet of fresh water you
would see some reel base filling
this fall, just like we, had. last
year.
Well, while the fish are not in
the mood to bite I’ll tell you a
true story that I thought yew
would enjoy reading. Though this
happened in Arizona, it could hap-
pen any place, especially with, a
bargain hunting female on the
other end of the line.

A yellow pa Juta with red eyes
is one of the pretttot birds we
have ever aeen. We may still
have it by the time you read this-
but it is sort of doubtful as it is
only $2.49, One of the green ones
will be talking in a few days if
Thelma keep* talking to it. We
had no idea that birds could be to
interesting to heap in the store.
It is just like having a group of
people to watch. Each has a dif-
ferent personality.
Mrs. J. B. Wise was in the store
;. Thsy have recently
moved dsck to Graham after hav-
ing baen away for a number of

hope that she and her family will
enjoy Graham. I forgot Jo ask her
"what church"- If they are
Methodist we are sure they will
be happy in our “Home Church '
