Let everybody who wants to take
active part in the great rabbit and
wolf- drive to be staged in the Brookc-sraith-Winchell
section of Brown
county next Friday December 81 go
at fonce to the Chamber of Commerce
and register their names in a book
kept there for that purpose .and thr.y
will then be assigned to the proper
company and instructed just where to
report for duty Friday- morniii!?. Ev-
ery man or boy who feels . able to
walk fifteen miles and make as much
noise as possible as he goes along
should get into this sreat rabbit
drive as it is going to bo an oppor-
tunity that coines only once in a long
time. Think of herding thousands of
rabbits perhaps a score of wolves
and several score of wildcats into .one
great throng and driving thum into a
pen. The thought is enough to thrill
every boy and man and cause him to
get busy go register and get into thfc
biggest frolic that ever came down
the pike while at the same time
helping to rid the country of one of
"its worst pests. While there will be
a lot of fun in it there will also be a
lot of hard work.
Every person getting into the drive
should register at once at the Cham-
ber of Commerce and be ready to
start Friday morning. Eash driver
should take his lunch and a bottle of
water in his hip pocket as lie may
not be near water when- time comes
to eat as no tsop will be made after
the drive begins. Those who eat will
have to do so as they move along with
the driving line unless they wait un-
til the drive is over. It is understood
that a photographer will be on hand
to take a picture of the drive when it
finally winds up at the pen. Now get
busy go and register and have a big
day of fun.
All captains who have charge of
the various squads of drivers will
meet at Brookesmith school house at
2! o'clock tomorrow afternoon for the
purpose of perfecting final plans and-
giving final orders.
The Chamber of Commerce wants
qvery car it can get and also every
rabbit driver it can get so as to be
ready early Friday morning.
A meeting was held at the High
School this afternoon at which brief
talks by way of explanation were
made by O. P. Griffin and Superintend-
ent Page and considerable enthusi
asm was displayed
.
uay oy a genueman wno came in
from the Brookesmith locality that
many wildcats had been seen laely
in the territory over which the drive
is to extend anl he would would not
be surprised if a number of these
cats were rounded up and found their
way into the pen at' the end of the
drive.
Get ready. Go to the Chamber of
commerce and register so as to be.
placed properly get up your lunch
and get into the drive early Friday
morning.
