MAKES APPEAL FOR
WOODLAND FOLKS
Writer Says Last Year
100000 Lives Snuffed
Out in State.

Bob Thompson has an article
in the Elroy Leader in which
he says that last year over
$4,000, 900 lives were snufted by the
men who carried the 1873, 457 hunting
licenses issued by the State of Wis
consin. The number is appalling but
that is not the worst. Over 100000
of these were partridge, prairie chicken
and snipe-the farmers best friends.
G. O. Shields, the we'll known lee
turer, estimates, after careful and
paicsIaking observations, that every
quail nr partridge is worth $40 to any
farmer in the United States. The
amount of bugs, weed seed and worms
woich they destroy, in the course of
Year, is enormous; yet many of these
precious birds were sent to market in
butter firklns marked "butter,"
where they brought 15c or less.
Is it any wonder why Cur birds and
animals are growing fewer in number
year after year? Isit hard to see why
the woodlot is decaying, the clover dy-
ing: the grain eaten by grasshoppers
when such deplorable conditions
exist? Do the we'll fed people need
those few ounces of meat bought at
such price? Do they wish to give
their children country devoid Of
birds and animals with which the
lives Of their forefathers were so close
linked. These questions must be an
