sudden cold weather has Drought down
wild geese and ducks from their far
northern retreats in great numbers.
Flocks of them are seen far overhead
every day and the lakes, creeks and
ponds in the vicinity of Akron have
been visited~by many flocks of ducks
especially. AS the duck hunting sea-
son will open next Sunday the hunt
ers of the city are already cleaning
their weapons and making ready for
the slaughter.
The game laws make several provis-
ions that may be especially interesting
to duck hunters, as the tenth, on
which day the season opens, Is Sunday.
"The law provides that no person
shall kill wild duck on sunday or
Monday of any week, or on any Of the
reservoirs belonging to the State of
Ohio, or on the waters of Lake Erie,
and the estuaries and bays thereof,
OF on the rivers, creeks or ponds or
other waters or bodies of water in the
state.
mo person shall shoot at or kill any
wild duck before o'clock in the fore
noon or after six O'Clock in the after
noon of any day on which ii Is law
ful to kill the same"
The number of the regulations and
the rules to be followed make 1t very
easy to overstep them, provided the
hunter does not pay careful attention
i, TO them all. The punishment that
goes TO lawbrcnkers may cause some
of the memories to be logged.

over the most severe time Of discomfort
that faced 1t and has determined to
