There were 14 puppies, but the last three born, died. ♦ ♦ • I was talking to Mrs. Perc Bart-

lett the other evening and she said they had 59 wild ducks in the channel behind their house. Perc feeds them, along with birds and small animals which seem to have a sort of radio communication with one another on which house has free hand-outs. With the ground and weeds covered with snow and ice, it is hard for the birds and small animals to find food and seeds. « « e There seems to be a number of snowmobiles in town now and so far no Indiana law on running them on public streets or sidewalks.
