BADGES
Must Be Worn By Hunters
In The Field
Three Hundred Licenses
Issued In Knox Co.
Other Items Of Interest From
Temple Of Justice

Three hundred hunters licenses
have been issued by Clerk of Courts
Charles w. Hayes.
The county clerk again calls atten-
tin to the fact that the carrying of a
badge by hunter is absolutely neces-
sary.
1t may be a printed, homemade
badge, or it may be one of the metal
lie devices sold by the state for the
sum of 25 cents, but they must be
so marked. 1t is one of the conditions
of the license and must be worn in a
conspicuous manner.
The attention of the hunter is called
too, to the fact that neither license
or badge will permit hunting on lands
if the owner is opposed to it. The
hunter must have the written permis.
sion signed by the owner of the land or
the authorized agent of the owner.
A person may hunt on his own land
without license.
