HUNTING SEASON TO
enter WITH RUSH
Will Open on Holiday and Hundreds
of Sportsmen Will Take Advantage
of Opportunity to Hunt.
SEASON PERFECT FOR DUCKS
Game Wardens Prepared to Protect
Laws From Now Until September
7-Guns Are in Readiness.

One week from next Monday, Sept.
ember 7, marks the opening of the
shooting season in Minnesota. II
will also be Labor Day
and that fact will result
in an unusually large num-
Der of shooters going afield on that
date. The last three years have
been bad in that respect. In 1912
the season opened Saturday and
there were more people out than
ordinarily go. It was worse in 1913
when the season opened Sunday and
the holiday combination this year
will give many people an opportunity
to get out who do not hunt on week
days. :
Ducks Are Numerous.
There will be more ducks than
ever before in this vicinity. The
perfection given for several years in
protection given for several years in
the spring by the state laws and last
year by the Federal laws as we'll,
have resulted in more ducks stopping
within the boundaries of the state.
The fact that the early spring and
summer rains filled the sloughs and
coulees gave the ducks better op-
portunities than before and the state
waters are covered with them.
"Sooners" Are Warned.
Because the season opens on Mon
day there will be temptation for
hunters, especially in the less thick
ly populated sections, to slip out a
day ahead and shoot on Sunday.
The state game board is preparing
to overcome this danger by the ap-
pointment of special deputies who
work on reward, and they will also
have the secret service men over the
state where violations are most
likely to occur.
Most spOrtsmen are already secur-
ing their hunting licenses and pre-
pairing their guns and dogs for the
sport.

overt acts on the part of the peasants.
