Some of our local sportsmen have been
severely criticising the new game laws,
especially that part of 1t pertaining to
squirrels. The season not opening till oct.
Il and closing Dec. 10, shortens up the
time twenty-five days and does not give
any chance to compete with their Lity
friends. BY the time the farmers get
their crops gathered and can find time to
hunt their city cousins have all the game
dragged" and the season is about TO
close. One of the respected residents of
Bardwell said a few days ago that there
had been lots of squirrels on his prem
ises but they Ohe rural hunters, had
got them all killed off. Report also comes
with good authority from Gienwood.

the farmers have been shooting squirrels
and pheasants for the past month. On,
no. The farmer won't get any game i'm
der the new law. The facts of the case
are these: That we might just as well
not have any fish and game wardens to

tive for the true and loyal sportsman to
live within the confines of the law.
