For The Gunners

Gunners are on edge now, awaiting
the opening of the hunting season for

1t will be remembered by hunters
this year, that the law has provided a

apprehended with more than the pre-
scribed number of birds or quadruped,
is not allowed to kill more than Is par

rabbits and squirrels may be bagged
The penalty for violations is S. for
each animal killed in excess OF the

The Federal regulations, laid down
by national law. follow:
Regulation l defines what shall be
considered migratory nongame birds.
Regulation 2 provides that daily
closed season on all migratory game
birds shall extend from sunset to sun
rise each day.
Regulation provides a continuous
closed season on insectivorous birds,
which includes robins, meadow larks,
kildees, night hawks or bull bats,
fiirkers wood peckers, swallows, and
practically all other migratory birds
that feed entirely or chiefly on insects.
Regulation A provides continuous
closed season until September /, 1918,
on band tailed pigeons, cranes, herons,
swan. curlew the upland or field plo-
yer, and all other shore birds except
those having an open season.
Other regulations fix closed seasons
for game in other States. Only those
that apply to Maryland are given here.
The minimum fine for a violation of
the Federal Regulations is $500, and a
prison sentence may be given in addi-
ton to the fine. The United States
District Court handles these cases.
The State wild fowl law is as fol-
lows:

sue, kill, or shoot wild fowl from any

NOW FOR A REST

We thirk our readers will share in

awhile from political agitation. We
believe it is every mans duty to be
deeply interested IN public affairs and

will permit. At the same time one
does weary Of it as STEADY diet" We
have had good deal of politics in this
State for six months or more. The
primary agitation began early last
spring and lasted until September IA
Then came the campaign for the gen.
eral election. The Presidential pri-
mary will be on hand next spring, fol-
lowed by the Presidential election next

politics, isn't it? Anyhow, we are
anxious for such a rest and we hope
our readers will agree with US.
We may live to fight another day
