one Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned

The average man does not save to eX-
coed ten per cent Of his earnings. he
must spend nine dollars in living eSpeu-
for every dollar saved. That being the
cnse he cannot be too careful about un-
uesaary expenses. Very often few
cents properly invested, like buying
seeds Tor his garden, Twill save several

THAT HUNTERS LICENSE
A DIFFERENCE OF OPiN!ON rs TO
WHAT IT MEANS
Even The Prosecuting Attorney Doe
Not Know What he Intends To
Do With NlO,atOrs.

There has been quite a good many in
Jasper coupty taken out hunters license
in accordance with the rev game law,
but as far as We have learned Ed GiTtoa
is the only Jssperiau WHO has thus far
taken out a license.
According 10 the Carthage Press it is
uncertain as to whether a licen sc is
necessary in ones OVID county That
PAPER says:
II you don I want 20 take the risk Of
being arrested for violation Of the new
game law you had better take out a
hunters license, But then it is not
certain that you would be arrested, or
that if arrested you would be prosecuted.
The prosecuting attorney and his
assistants have not yet decided what
they will do IN case information is filed
with them charging violation Of the
new law. Judge Bright says Prosecutor
Andrews is in Denver aud tina. the Office
will not take up the question until his
return. All the troubous conjecture
which is agitatiug the hunters Of other
counties as well as Jasper Is due to "A
difference Of opinion as to the meaning
Of the Walmsley game law. Mr.
WalmsIey says when he introduced the
bill into the legislature he did not mean
TO require license TO hunt in ones own
county. Game Warden Rhodes, on the
other hand, says the law means to re-
quire license Of everybody except
where a man hunts on his :own farm.
Two prosecuting attorneys, one in But
Ter county and another is Livingston,
have stated boldly that they intended
to disregard the new state Law as in
terpreted by Mr. Rhodes. Replying to
these threats the game warden says un'
less there is test case made soon be
will put the matter before the attorney
general for construction. 10 the mean
time, uncertainty, siNty-three persons
have taken out licenses in this county.
The license costs Sllj. You have to
be measured 10y the Bertillion Ashcraft
system, which means that record Is
kept Of your age, the color OF your hair
and the complexion # your eyes, This
requirement is not set aside even for the
women, which may have some influence
on the number of fair applicants. The
only woman to make application this
week is Miss VI \ Wolf, Of Joplin. The
youngest man to apply is f. A. Fox, Of
Galesburg, Is years, ani the oldest
applicant is } G Grissom, age G6, Garth
age. The best hunter, 50 far as record
goes is Harry Jones, his affirmed record
being two rabbits out Of three, sitting,
at distance Of ten, 70 twenty feet.
