MUST PAY A LICENSE

Hunting in Illinois is now a
licensed sport All Kentucky sport
men, who desire to indulge in the
pleasure of the chase in the woods
and fields across the Ohio, must
first equip themselves with a Ii
cense. According to the game law
passed by the last Legislature, of
Illinois, residents of the state can
get this license for 81 while the
fee for non-residents is SIS.
For the 81 fee each hunter liy-
ing in Illinois gets a neat little
blue linen backed document which
he can told to small pocket size.
On the face of the license his name,
occupation and description of per-
son appears. The law requires
that the holder produce it at the
requeOt of any game warden in the
state. Punishment, either by fine
or imprisonment or both, is pro-
vided for violation of the license
provisions.
The only exemption made by
the law is in the case of a land
owner who hunts on his own land
A farmer may hunt on his own
farm, but if he wants to cross over
to his neighbours he must equip
himself with license or run the
risk of being caught and heavily
fined.
County clerks will issue the
license.
