ineSe northern states.
Considerable, protest was entered at
She meeting about these portions of the
federal law, but the government au-
thorities claimed it was necessary to

The Mississippi hunters claim that
with river shooting gone, they have
practically none, for all the private In
shore preserves are now taken in that
country by clubs and wealthy men.

affected. because this condition does
not exist so largely. The closed hours
for all seasons, from sunset to sunrise,
also give much dissatisfaction, because
this cuts off the early morning and
evening shooting, which Is best of all.
