Help En-,

Under the Kentucky game
law the expense of conserving
what game there is, and the ex-
pense of propagating game,
comes out of the revenue raised
by licenses. 1t is a very demo-
cratic law. The license fee is SO
small that nobody misses it.
Every hunter should be glad to
pay his snail part of the ex.
pense. Every hunter who is
not willing to pay up should be
made to do so. Bear in mind
that the fellow who does not get
a license is Sinking his part Of
a project that will pay hand
some returns. He should be
prosecuted. Help the Fish anC

RUINOUS PRICE CUTTING.

A job of printing was handed
to us to estimate the cost of, with
the remark: IF you will do the
job as cheap or cheape than we
got it done for last year $4,000
we will give you the job"
The job was an eight-page
pamphlet, with cover, and called
for 300 copies. We made an es-
innate of the cost of the job, not
that we expected to do it but just
to see how much the other fellow
would lose on it, and here are the
figures: Composition, $3.50;
imposition, $3.50; press work,
$500; binding, $500; stock, ST. %;
total actual cost, SASS.
Just why print shops will take
jobs at prices less than the cost
of the work is something we can
not understand. Some do. In the
country shops / think the chief
reason is that the only item of
cost considered is stock. The
men are usually employed by the
week and no account of the time
spent on a particular job is con-
sidered. Too many think that
all above the price of stock is
profit. No printer can stay in
business and maintain his credit
who does not figure every ele.
ment of cost in every job. Rent,
interest, taxes, depreciation Of
plant, composition, make-ready,
press work, binding, delivery
: etc., are elements of cost in ev

A fact worthy of notice is the nearly
complete absence of alcohol from the
daily bill Of fare Of the soldiers on
the frontier. The water supply in that
country being none too good, care has
been taken to instruct the soldiers In
this respect that they are being con-
stantly told that the old statement,
bad water is made innocuous by
alcohol" is a dangerous misrepresenta-
ton.
II has also been ascertained that
whenever period of endurance was

took no alcohol we're much more fit
