 Smith, who lives in the suburbs, was about to hustle for the communication train some time since, when his wife followed him to the door as usual to make sure that his shoes were tied and that he hadn't forgotten his neck tie.

 Why, so it Is" returned John, do- ing some nasty mental arithmetic. "f will bring you home nice bunch of roses"

As the game season will soon be opening, measures are being taken by federal and state authorities to warn tie people of Arkansas regarding game protection laws.
 Some misunderstanding has arisen from the fact that the various state laws do not altogether conform with the federal statutes. Federal regula- tions. however, will take precedence whenever a conflict occurs.
 The federal regulations divide the United States into two zones: The breeding zone is known as Zone No. l.
 For Zones No. 2, in which Arkansas is located, the open season fer migra- tory birds in 1915 under tho federal regulations, is as follows:
 Waterfowl, October 1 to January 16.
 Rail, coots, gallinules, September to December l.
 Woodcock, November l to January l.
 Shore birds (black-breasted and golden blower, jacksnipe, yeIlowlegs). September l to December 16.
 Insectivorous birds are protected in- definitely. Band-taileG pigeons, cranes, curlew and smaller shore birds are protected until September 1, 1918.
 Shooting is prohibited between sun- set and sunrise at any time, and on the Mississippi river between Mime apolis, Minn., and Memphis, Tenn, af- ter January l, 1915.
