law, fnasmuch az the confident sports
man will be inclined TO allow does Ia
pass without shooting 30 that his one
deer may be an honored trophy. 10 the
opinion Of William r. Oates. state
game commissioner. who has informa,
ton that this plan is to be adhered to
in several camps In the upper PENN
sula.
Mr.. Oates says that compared To
last year there is decrease In the
sale of resident licenses of about SO
per cent. indicating. in the judgment
Of the game commissioner. that there
was meat value, II not CONNER
cial value. taken into consideration by
many hunters who made trips to the
far north In recent wears.
However. as an Offset to the de-
creased sale of resident licenses. the
sale OF nonresident licenses has more
than doubled. This increase is as
signed to the fact that provision was
made by the legislature that deer
may be shipped from the state with
out the formality OF permit. the tag
attached to the carcass in the field
standing as a voucher for legal ship
ment.
Commissioner Oates has arranged
for checking of all deer shipped
by the way of the straits, lake ferries
and railroads. Commissioner Oates
writes that the absence of tracking
snow has protected deer from the
hunter thus far and indications are
that the kill will be greatly reduced.
Fear Of continuance of moderate tenn
perature. which would drive hunters
from camp to save their venison from
spelling, is another factor which ia
reducing the kill this season.
Reports received at the Lansing Of
fee are that 43 deer. 20 bucks and 20
does. have thus far been shipped
across the straits.
Suffrage to BE Submitted In '10.
Michigan will not be asked to vote
on suffrage until the fall election OF
1918, according to the resolution
adopted at the thirtieth annual con-
vention Of the Michigan Equal Suf-
frage association in Saginaw.
After warm discussion the asso-
citation decided, on the recommends
ton of the advisory board. to devote
the next two years to perfecting the
organization, with q view to en-
deavoring to obtain the election OF
members of the legislature favorable
to the cause, so that the submission
In 1918 may be provided for by the
1917 legislature.
Every effort in the meantime is to
be devoted to obtaining the passage
of the Susan d. Anthony federal
| amendment, the work of the congress
sional committee of the national asso-
citation being approved.
The causes of prohibition and SUI.
frage clashed in the debate that pre-
coded the adoption of the submis.
sion resolution. A number were
| strongly in favor of 1915 vote, but
others declared that the support
would be divided between suffrage
and prohibition. Mrs. Mcdonald OF
the Detroit delegation favored the
1916 election and attacked the pro
hibitionists for their lack of sup.
port.
| AT the last election the prohibi-
tionists stayed at home and toasted
their feet by the fire, while the liquor
forces got out" she said. III we

Government Should Set Food Prices.
James N. Mcbride of Burton. state
market master. favors the control Of
produce prices by the government.
In an address before a Lansing re
ligious- organization he pointed tl
laws along such line enacted by Ger
many. He said that inasmuch as trans
portation charges are subject to gov
eminent control, 1t would not be un
reasonable to have produce prices de
termined in the same way.
Such action, he believed, would
strike blow at the high cost of liv
ing and would do away with price in
equalities.
