SYNOPSIS OF
THE GAME Laws
GAME 55oARD COOPERATING
WITH CANDIDATES IN DIsTRl-
BUTTON OF COPIES OF THE
GAME LAWS, PUT OUT IN
CONDENSED FORM.

The North Dakota Game Board and
one candidate for office in each
county are cooperating for the dis
tribution Of a synopsis Of the game
laws OF the state. , The board got
up a neat four-page folder, one page
containing a diagram of the open and
the closed seasons, the two inside
pages a brief synopsis OF the game
laws containing the salient features,
leaving the front page of the folder
blank, #.
These were sent to one official in
each county who is a candidate at
the primaries, preferably the, auditors
with whom the board ~transacts its
business. The auditors had their
campaign cards printed on the blank
page and will Ass them around
among the voters. The plan gives
the candidates a unique campaign
card and the board an. opportunity
to reach practically every man in the
state with some pointers on the game
W 1t is regarded as good educa-
tiona work in the interests of game
protection. The board furnished The
cards free to the candidates who paid
for whatever printing they had done
on the blank page. A number some
what in excess Of the total number
OF voters, was sent to each county.
The North Dakota plan is to be adopt
ed by the game officials OF some other

VISITS HISTORIC
FREDERICK TOWN
C. r. HOLMES RETURNED FROM
FREDERICK. MD, HIS OLD HOME
SAYS THAT INCIDENT CRED
TIED TO BARBARA FRITcHlE
is DISPUTED.

c. r. Holmes has returned from ar
extended visit with relatives in his old
home in Frederick, Md. He also visit
ed Washington AND New York in the
course Of his trip.
Frederick town is the place made
immortal by the roem OF Barbara
Fritchie, in which the aged woman is
aid to have Haunted the Stars and
Stripes in the very faces Of Stonewall
Jackson and his victorious army.
The poem tells how the display of
the flag in her window was a signal
for a volley from the rebel troops
which shattered the window, pane
n sash, and of how the dauntless
m snatched the riddled banner
and waved it over her head, screaming
defiance at the troops. Then Jackson
gave his famous command: "'Who
touches a hair Of yon gray head, dies
like a doe-March on he said"
Mr.. Holmes says that the claim is
made that it was not really Barbara
Richie who figured in this war
drama, but Marie Quantrell, who was
one of the oldest residents OF Freder-
lex. The Quantrell family Is still liv-
ing in Frederick, though its members
are now all very old.
There is a movement on foot in the
town to erect a monument to Barbara
Frttchie. as the heroine Of the flag in
cident, but it is thought by many that
Marie Quantrell is the one really en-
titlel to the memorial.
