keep them as pets. The law says
they must not be in your possession
at any time if caught during the clos
ed season. The law permits you to
kill foxes, skunks, minks and other
varmint varieties; provided, you can
show conclusively that such varmints
are destroying your poultry or other
property, but, they must be killed,
uot captured and held aEve. Violation
of this section is punishable by fine
of twenty five dollars.
SEEMING or netting for fish is lawful
and allowed in the main waters of Mis-
ouri and Mississippi rivers at any
time during the year; excepting, the
months of April, May and June; pro-
vided, any seine or net used must
have meshes measuring not less than
two inches square, and further pro-
vided, that it is unlawful to seine or
net within three hundred yards of the
mouth of any stream flowing into
any rivers. Any person may use a
seine not more than twenty feet in
length nor more than four in width
known as a "minnow seine"-for
catching minnows to be used for bait
only. Also, any person owing land
along any unnavigable stream, or by
permission of said land owner, may
take fish from such stream, with COM
mon two-inch seine, for his own con-
sumption or table use, but it is held
unlawful to sell or offer for sale fish
SO taken. Violation of any part of
the foregoing section pertaining to
seining or netting of fish is punishable
by fine of fifty to two hundred dol
lars. 1t is also unlawful and punish
able by fine of twenty five TO one
hundred dollars to engage in what is
commonly known as "pearl fishing,"
which means the catching of fish with

Bear in mind you must have a
''Hunter's License" in this state to
hunt anything, at any time, anywhere,
in any manner; provided, you may
hunt without license upon your own
or leased land for game only in open
season. The section has been con-
strued to mean that you cannot even
hunt rabbit or 'possum, not even
with stick or dog, without "Hunt-
er's License"
| License only costs "One Dollar
The fine for hunting without license
is twenty five to one hundred dollars;
SO you see it is cheaper to get lie
ense than to take the risk of being
caught hunting without license
You are sure to pay the penalty il
caught. You can't beat the case with
all the lawyers in the state. If yor
are caught hunting without license
! excepted as noted) there is nothing
left for the courts to do but adjudge
you guilty and announce the fine.
