For several days last week the river
in this vicinity was teeming with wild
ducks, geese and swans, having apr aren't
ly been bewildered by storm conditions
while on their northern flight for the
summer vacation. Although some shoot

this immediate vicinity. Since Uncle
Sam has put an embargo on spring shoot
ing of all migratory birds there is dis
position to respect the law by all who are
aware of its existence, besides 1t is likely
to make very expensive work for those
having a notion to try a shot.
