Aim of Statute.

In carrying out the statutory re-
quirement of due regard to the zones
of temperature, breeding habits, times
and line of migratory fight" the fol-
lowing are some of the more important
principles on which the regulations
We're based, according to the commit
tee:
To limit the list of migratory game
birds to species properly so called and
to eliminate species too small to be
considered legitimate game or too rare
to be longer hunted for sport or profit
This list has been made to conform as
closely as possible with the statutory
definitions of game.
To prevent spring shooting.
To protect migratory birds between
sunset and sunrise.
To provide protected fight lines
along ut least three of the great navi
gable rivers
To make the seasons approximately
equal in length in different parts of
the country.
To limit the hunting seasons to a
maximum of three or three and one
half months.
To regulate these seasons according
to latitude and times of migration and
TO adjust them so that there may be
reasonable opportunity of securing
thirty days shooting of any species at
given place
To provide separate seasons for wa
terfowl, rail, shore birds and wood
cock. The w0odcock seasons are made
to conform as nearly as possible with
the seasons for upland game under
state laws, so that there may be no
opportunity in close seasons to hunt
quail or grouse under the guise of
shooting woodcock
To curtail hunting at the end instead
of the beginning of the open season.
in the interest of both the birds and
the sportSmen.

Night Shooting.

The regulatio prohibiting night
shooting is intended to bring about
uniformity in provisions now in force
in most states. protecting water fowl
and other birds at night or within GER
tain hours between sunset and sunrise
so that the birds may be unmolested
on their roosting grounds and may
have time to feed after sunset or be
fore sunrise. 1t will make no change
in existing law in about one-fourth of
the states It will make existing reg
ulations clearer in nine states. 1t will

Seasons In Zone.

Apparently few changes have been
made in existing hunting seasons in
zone No. / except in the elimination of
spring shooting, and about half of the
states in this zone now close the sea
son on water fowl by the middle of
December or the first of January. In
most states in this zone the hunting
season begins on some date in Septem-
Der, and these dates have generally
been followed in the regulations. In
two or three cases in which states
have several different seasons for diff
ferent counties it has been necessary
to effect n compromise either by adopt
ing one season or the dates which most
nearly conform with the seasons in
adjoining states. A slight change in
few of the state laws would make it
possible to eliminate most of the eX-
ceptions and apparent inequalities in
the seasons.
In most cases the close seasons in
zone No. end on the same dates as
the seasons under the state laws, but
eliminate spring shooting after Jan.
10. This avoids confusion in the open
ing Of the hunting season and pro-
yideS shooting in the autumn or early
winter when the birds are in the best
condition. In four States-Maryland.
Virginia. North Carolina and South
Carolina-the seasons for water fowl
do not open until Nov. l. and the sea
son is consequently extended to Feb. /.
The difference of fifteen days in the
length of the season in these states as
compared with the seasons elsewhere
is more than offset by the fact that the
birds are present practically through
out the open season, whereas in the
northern zone and in some states in
the southern zone they are present
only part of the time.
Provides For Hearings.
The object of hearings is to afford
persons interested an opportunity to
present evidence showing the neces-
sity for readjustment of some of the
seasons so as to adapt them better to
local conditions and to submit new
data regarding local abundance of
birds and times of migration. The de-
partment already has ample informa-
ton regarding the seasons provided
under existing laws and the changes
which have been made from time to
time, The desire to have the hunting
seasons as long as possible is natural.
but as such seasons have heretofore
been too long the question is merely
one of adjustment within certain max
imum limits.
Consequently, if the birds are to be
restored. some curtailment of the sea
son in each state is essential. In such
an effort general welfare should take
precedence over private interests.

Preparation of the regulations was
Entrusted to a committee of members
of the biological survey appointed by
the acting secretary of agriculture
March 81, 1913 This committee CON
sists of t. S. Palmer, assistant chief,
chairman; \. X. Fisher. in charge of
economic investigations, and w. w
Cooke, migratory expert. This com

ly, examined data on file, had maps
prepared, collected special information
and then made up their rules. which
they duly repoSted to the secretary.
The committee went on the theory
that regulatory laws heretofore enact
ed for the protection of game birds
had provided long open seasons and
had been favorable to hunters rather
than to the birds. In the rules pro-
posed the committee sought to reduce
the open season to reasonable limits
and to give the birds the benefit of the
doubt. These regulations differ from
the ordinary restrictions under state
laws, since they take into considera-
ton the entire range of the species and
the condition of the birds at all times
of the year, and not merely the local
conditions VIXEN a certain species is
most abundant in some particular
state or region. The regulations will
become operative on and after Oct. 1,

New York, Sept. 24--After intro. ducing evidence intended to show in effect that the increased cost of liV- ing for trainmen of the eastern rail roads can be met only by the wage increase they demand, the employees closed their direct testimony today be- fore the federal board that is arb- trating the trainmen's grievances un- der the Newlands act. The roads at once began presentation of their case Dr. Frank Warne statistical expert, was the last witness to testify for the men. Teslifying that the em- .ployes must have better wages to meet the higher cost of living, Dr. WaYne read a paper prepared from reports of the interstate commerce commission showin, ne said, that the roads are able to grant the men's demands inasmuch as there has been great gain in passenger and freight revenue during I years ending 1911. In that year the passenger revenue of the roads which are parties to the arbitration proceedings was yloL000,- GOO and the freight revenue SS46,- 900, 900. the witness testified as com pared with s193, 100000 for passenger and 72,000, GOO for freight in 1900.

 We shall endeavor to show that the prevailing wages and conditions Of work on the railroads are adequate for all classes of service and will show that since the increases made in 1910 by the roads their employees have been paid fairly and liberally.
 We deny that the conditions on railroads as testified to by the wit nesses for the trainmen. are typical and characteristic.

RELIEF FROM KIDNEY AILMENTS

The formula for Rexall Kidney Treatment was devised with full knowledge of the experience of gener- ations of praeticing physicians, 1t is intended to restore normal action to the kidneys, and to thereby relieve the patient from the other ailments com monly caused by diseased kidneys. The beneficial effect should be ordinarily felt almost at once. few days will usually suffice to demonstrate the val ue of the treatment.
 If your kidneys are sluggish in their action. if suffering from skin erup- tions, nervous or chronic headaches {; if the urine is scanty, dark colored, and passing it causes a burning sense ton; or if you are subject to back ache, feeling of weariness use Rex ali Kidney Treatment, and, if it does not relieve you, you can have your money back. If troubled with rheu- matism, which is frequently caused by faulty kidney action in failing to re- move bodily wastes, ReXall Kidney Treatment should aelp you.
 If Rexall Kidney Treatment fails to satisfy. your money back. In liquid form. 90 cents and Sl00 In pill form 90 cents. Sold in this community only at our stores-the Rexall Stores-R G. Morris Drug Co and the Public Drug Co.
