Women vote. Why shouldn't they hunt?
Feminine applicants for hunting licenses though are rare at the office of Clerk of Courts. And so when Mrs. Mary McNutt of near Westview appeared shortly before noon on Thursday, there was a mild sensation back of the counter.
"I didn't want to get it," Mrs. McNutt commented, after confessing to 43 years, 130 pounds, brown hair, blue eyes and a height of five feet, two inches.
"It was all his fault," referring doubtless to Mr. McNutt. "That's something I don't care anything about, but he argued all the time for me to go. And I didn't want to go without a license. They're so strict any more, anybody don't dare to even go along without a permit."
"Are you going to take a gun," Deputy Metcalf wanted to know.
"Well, I'll say I am," the huntress replied with spirit. "Think I'm going to run the rabbits down for him?"
"That's a dollar and a quarter thrown away," she declared after asking and being informed as to the fee. "But he's argued with me now for the last week."
