Wa Ml»<* the tall tales about the oar that got away to start about the same time that spring gets serious and stays awhile. —oOo— 4 ■ But the signs of spring are becoming cteam each day. Many Decatar people have already been there, or are planning on going soon to their cottages readying them for extended summer uso. They are slso getting boats in sbage tor those many hours of pleasant fishing that lie ahead Now that the winter's hunting has pretty well died down, anglers are beginning to sharpen up their casting arms to catch that big one —and not let him get away this time. —oOo - Another note to round up the column for the week, this one also from the wires of the United Press It seems that the Tulsa. Okla., zoo added a new wild animal to Its collection after capturing the 'dangerous" beast with a rabbit trap The latest addition la an armadillo, which haa an arm-or-plated back, plow-llke snout and strong claws. Zoo curator Hugh Davis said the armadillo can become ornery when cornered at close quarters. It was trapped after a Tulsa family report something had been gnawing on their rose bushes and vines. vrwvffw •< Wtwet w»4H»wieei as Smieir Me. 444 Z Notice Is hereby given to the jcredlturs., heirs snd legatees of ilenr.v ('ostsll.. dwessed to aspesr ' m (he Adams Gfrctilf Court, held at .
