President Wilson are not likely to 20

Mr.. Knox criticised the Democratic

CAPITOL HILL
KALBfUS SAYS HUNTERS
TAGS MUST Be WORN open
Gunners Must Display On Arm Their
Right to Hunt in Pennsylvania,
So That Tags May Be Seen With
out Difficulty

Secretary kalbfus, of the State
Game Commission, has issued the fol-
lowing important notice to hunters
throughout the State to impress upon
them the fact that the license tag worn
by all hunters must be placed on the
arm, and not carried concealed, as some
of the hunters did last year:
Il write you to-day regarding a
matter of great Importance to hunters
in Pennsylvania and refer to the wear
ing of the tag, bearing the number of
the license issued to hunter, and
would say under the provisions of the
act of April II, 1918, P. L. S5-The
Resident Hunters License Law-it is
just as important that the tag be worn
as provided by the law-'on the arm
between the shoulder and the elbow, =
as ii is to secure the license and carry
same when hunting. We are afraid
there may be some hunters who will
disregard this provision of law and we
want to caution all licensed hunters to
be sure to wear the tag accompanying
all licenses, as provided for by law.
The State has provided quite sufficient
of the license blanks and tags to the
several county treasurers, so that there
is no need of hunters not being equip
ped. We want all hunters to understand
this matter. so that we will have no
cause to trouble or annoy them.
