congress passed a law covering mi
g~ratory birds and for some reason

the district with the southern states
Instead OF the western states. This
prohibited the hunting OF ducks
after DeccmbcI 18TH. Under the nov
ruling the season rs extended on,

with Arizona, etc.

sunshine and fan 10 realize that the
rains mean buuntiful crops ard good

ticman, "a say nothing of plenty OF
good eats for the sick man who Is
doing the kicking.
