The Ohio Club Notes gives a report
read by Mrs. E. F. Moulin before the
biennial last spring, in which it is
stated that the civics department
shows evidence of more interest than
any other department of federation
work This is due to the combined
influences of all the allied civic forces
which are persistently striving after
civic health, civic beauty, and civic
righteousness, in which the club wom-
en- are potent and leading factor. 1t
IS the aim of the federation to interest
those clubs that are not yet active by
sending them brief letters presenting
the gamut of civic activities 1t has
been suggested that each club have
at least one civil topic appear on their
calendars; that Arbor day be observed
every year, and that the club women
seek to make the day yield results. A
magazine entitled THE American
beautiful America, has been placed in
many of the public libraries, and it is
having an influence. The federation
recommends that the women have
placed in the schools the "GuIick Hy-
g1ene Series" books dealing with top
les which touch the very core of civic
life; thus beginning at the root of
things and exerting an influence for
good citizenship. In cities where
Fairgrounds have been provided juve-
nile crime and accidents among chill
dren have been reduced so per cent.

be Of great benefit in civic cleanliness.

SIowa State News :
TEACH BOYS
HOW TO SHOOT
M'NUTT SAYS HUNTERS LICENSE
FUND MIGHT BE SPENT IN
THAT DIRECTION.

Des Moines, March 11.-How shall
the hunters license fund be spent?
This question, asked some time ago
by the Capital, continues to agitate
the sportsmen of the state and many
ideas have been suggested. Some, OF
course, are beyond the purposes per-
mitted by the law creating the license,
while others are divided between the
pagation of fish and the propaga-
ton Of game. Hunters as a rule are
opposed to using any portion OF the
fund for the propagation and protec-
ton of fish or the preservation OF
the lakes.
Arguing against using the fund for
the protection of the fish and in favor
of using it for the protection and prop
agation OF game, S. B. McNutt Of Des
Moines suggests that such use means
the training Of the boys to use fire.
arms. He says: Teach the boys to
use a gun; there are times in the his
tory of the country when we are
proud Of the boys with the gun, not
the boy with the fishing rod
r. T. .Jeffries Of Ames says that q
part of the fund should be used for the
propagation Of Hungarian cartridges.
He says: 81 would be in favor i
spending a portion of the fund in prop
agating Hungarian cartridges Let
the fishermen who want the streams
stocked pay for it as the hunters have
done"
j. T. Vincent of Tacoma argues that
hunters and fishermen are mostly
farmers and that as farmers are the
ones most interested in good roads,
let the fund be used for the building
of good roads, dividing it among the
communities in proportion to the sums
given by the communities. Hesays:
I'VE farmers have our sleeves rolled
up and are ready to do our share. So
come to our rescue with the amount
Of money that has been paid in to the
state by the hunters and the ball will
begin to roll"
F. A. Wyant of Ogden is opposed to
using any portion of the fund for sal
aries for more game wardens. he is
bitter in his opposition. charging that
the game wardens are not fair in their
prosecutions. He would pension wild
ows with the fund before he would
give is TO the salaries of game war.

it is an impossibility to check up a
