mirtb, cards and refreshments filled

would live many years after his allot-

SQUIRRELS
Are SAFE
So Say Sportsmen of the
Ne w Game Laws.
SEASON SHORTENED
And Placed at a Time when
Trees are Bare.
The New Laws MAKE Some Changes
Which SpoItsmen Will do Well to
Note In Time.

There won't be many squirrels
shot this year.
Local sportsmen are greatly dis
Couraged over the new game laws,
and one of the most disappointing
features of the entire new code is
the changing of the open season for
squirrel from October 1 to October
30, which gave rise to the above
expression from squirrel hunters on
all sides.
The local sportsmen declare that
the falling leaves and the coming OF
the frost will make the squirrels
wary and extremely difficult to ap-
Troach. They point out the fact
that the little animals grow wilder
as the Gall season comes on and
freely predict that there will be
but few of them shot this year.
The season for quail has been short
ened one day, while the number
which may be taken in day has
been cut to an even dozen. The
season for doves has been changed
to extend from September / to De-
cember and the bag has been
limited to 12.
Additional protection has been ex-
tended to rabbits by shortening the
season enc day and restricting their
capture to guns alone. No trapping
cr snaring is allowed.
The following are the open seasons
for the different varieties of game
birds and animals.
Quail. from November Is to De-
| cember A woodcock or Carolina
dove September to December 4:
rail, shore birds, plover, snipe, wild
duck, wild goose, swan, coot or mud
hen, from September ! to December
II and March / to April 20, inclu,
sive
Ruffled grouse and pheasants are
protected until November 10, 1913
The open season on rabbits eX-
tends from November Is TO Decem.
Der a. inclusive, with gun only.
Squirrels may be shot from Octo.
Der I to October 30, inclusive, while
hthe open season for raccoon extends
from November to March 1.
Not more than 12 quail, Carolina
dove, woodcock, geese, rail shore
birds, plover or snipe may be taker
in one day, while the limit or
ducks is set at 25 per day.
The squirrel hunter is allowed tC
kill but 10 of the fury beasts in {
days shooting but it is predictec
that all will be satisfied with hal
that number under the new law
