Some of the sportsmen on the east
| side have been deer, turkey and quail
Hunting since Sept 10. No one seems
| to know whether the law is being vio-
| lated. Game is certainly too small to
| shoot, and it is morally if not legally
| wrong to kill it, and it assuredly is no
| sport to shoot any game before it is
| old and shrewd enough to attempt to
| elude one, and no true sportsman will
| attempt or desire to hunt before it is.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. w Waters enjoyed
| a visit last week from their son, Har-
