carry out the plans it has III view

tablished fish hatchery at
Georgetown under the following
conditions: The state to pay an

all that is necessary is to send IN

association will issue a member
ship card. Empire has forty-one
membership cards with fair pros

number. 1t should not be neces-
sary to point out the benefits de-
rived from well-stocked streams,

pleasant days angling for the
speckled beauties and will spend
money in our county. We Will get

him the possibilities of our great
county, that our mineral belt has
barely been scratched, notwith-
standing the fact that it has pro-

know that with good hustling it
is an easy matter to raise the $500
year for the support of the fish
hatchery. Be a sport by sending
in your dollar.
