GAME WARDENS
TO PROSECUTE
ERROR IN STATE LICENSE WILL
NOT PREVENT ENFORCEMENT
OF LAW AS IT STANDS-HUNT-
ERS SAY THEY WILL HUNT.

THE state game warden has is
sued orders to all deputies to prose-
cute any person who kills prairie
chicken after November 80, said
Deputy State Game Warden Har-
baugh, when asked relative to the
error in the game licenses, which
provides for the killing of prairie
chicken until January l.
'The people are governed by the
state law and not by any error that
may appear on the back of a Ii
cense,' continued Mr.. Harbaugh,
"and the attorney general has rem
dered a decision to the effect that
the said error on the license will be
no protection to the person who may
violate the state laws.
"The error In the printing of the
licenses was brought to the atten-
in the season, at which time he rem
dered his decision and advised the
prosecution Of any person violating
the state law The same question
was also before the recent meetins
of deputy wardens, and at that tim,
the state warden ordered the prose
cution of all persons who were guilt,
of taking prairie chickens out o
! season" 't.--'
The question of the error in the
state license is Of particular interes
in the Lewiston country, as most o
/ the licenses issued in this distric
have not been corrected and proVid
for the killing Of prairie chickens
pheasants and turtle doves fror
September to January L. Many o
the hunters holding these license
have indicated their intention G
hunting under the terms of thet
licenses. and the decision of the stat
game wardens will doubtless resul
in number of prosecutions in thi
territory.

Moon Dealt A Body Blow.

Mr.. H. f. Hillenmeyer, the well
known nurseryn1an of Fayette county,
who has earned the right to be con
sldered as authority on al matters per-
tanning to horticulture and agriculture,
gives 1T as his opinion, based on expert
ence and observation that the moon has
no influence whatever on things plant
ed. In letter TO a correspondent he
says:
My Dear Sir In reply, l have not a
particle of faith in the moon. and regu-
late no planting whatever thereby. 1t
further is my judgment that the moon
has no influence whatever on things
planted.
May |, however, say that many good
men do believe in the moon. Mr.. Will
liam WarheId, for instance, but |
think there is not bit of real truth in
that belief. Yours truly,
H F. HILLENMEYER.
The News declines to take sides on
this important discussion. although we
think Mr.. ,Hillenmeyer's opinion is
certainly worth something.
