Now, Mr.. Hunter, won't you help by

report the violation of the law to the
wardens in your county and the Office

the game and thereby make more
pleasure for yourself and at the same
time increase the value Of the license
for which you pay. The money you
pay for your license is your contribu-
ton towards the enforcement OF the
law and the propagation of game. Get
