SCARCITY OF QUAIL

In 1911. during the session immedI-
ately preceding the creation of thu
game laws. the Federal Government
discovered that large quantities Of
quail were being sold in the northern
and eastern markets, and that these
birds had been shipped In violation Of
the federal laws covering interstate
shipments of game.
The commission firms distributing
these birds were all prosecuted, and
by tracing the shipments to the firms.
the Government officials discovered
that great quantities of the quail had
were shipped out OF Kentucky in 1911,
1900 being shipped from two points
in Gallatin county.
All of the parties making Illegal
shipments were tried in the federal
courts of Kentucky and convictions
followed in every case. The United
States Government knew, in a general
way that shipments were being made
from Kentucky, but in this work. as in
other branches OF the Government
they desired to help only those states
who were making an honest endeavOr
TO help themselves.
1t was the common practice OF the
larger hotels and restaurants in Ken
lucky, before the creation Of the Game
and Fish Commission to annually sell
large quantities OF quail Illegally
bought and sold. number of cases
were made against one of the leading
hotel companies in Kentucky, and we
are pleased to say that this illegal
practice has been stopped.

PHEASANT C!5TRiEUTiOM

In March, 1915. y distribution Of Eng
lish riucueck pheasants was made by
the Commission These birds we're
purchased in England and shipped to
Philadelphia, where they were received
by representative OF the CommissioI
and shipped in crates of fifteen birds
ten hens and i've cocks, 10 each coun.
~ in the state. where they were ra.
ceived and separated into trios. two
hens and a cock, and these birds were
liberated by persons with whom the
Commission had made arrangements.
on lands controlled by them.
Reports from 70 counties show an in.
crease of 2.G56 birds. which indicates
a gratifying condition and places the
number OF these splendid game birds
at liberty in Kentucky at something
above six thousand. Some of the birds
were held in captivity, hut in nearly
every instance these experiments re
suited in failure, but the birds that
were turned loose and allowed TO rear
their own young. in practically every
instance produced and raised covey
The result of these experiments
have so encouraged the Commission
that another importation of pheasauts
is planned, and we hope to liberate
three thousand more of these birds in
the spring OF 1916 The distribution Of
pheasants aroused great interest, and
we received many requests for set
tings OF eggs and purchased 500 from
game dealer in Pennsylvania, which
were sent by parcels post to those who
had applied. We also shipped 265 from
the Kentucky Game Preserve on Pine
Mountain, in Bell county.
The reports show that "A large per
centage OF eggs did not hatch. and
whore broods were Matched they soon
died, SO the distribution proved a
failure.
II is unlawful TO kill any ringneck
pheasant at any time of the year. and
the Commission appeals to you for
your assistance in protecting them un
til they increase sufficiently TO permit
hunting.

search of banking facilities may not
have lawyer with whom to consult.
Very often he has not. He has not
time in which ito investigate for him
self. The wise banker brings his mes
sage to his prospective patron through
the newspaper, a medium that every
live man in every community consults
for information at least once a day.
Many bankers ret iize this. Others
look upon bank advertising as "un-
ethical" Physicians have the same
mistaken notion. But the time will
come when both banks and physicians
will look upon the matter differently.
The public has a right to know If q
physician is especially equipped by
special study, training or otherwise to
perform a special service. 1t is a
strange condition that the medical
man who advertises is regarded with
suspicion by his fellow practitioners
and the public, while the business man
who does not advertise is regarded in
the same light.
Banks that are fully awake to the
spirit of the times have entered the
advertising field. Doubtless the time
is coming when all who have anything
worthy of presentation to the public
will follow.

MAKING OVER THE MAP
IBuffalo EXnress.l


Is there any part of the world that
is not affected by the war? Bishop
Hartzell, who has just arrived in
New York from a tour of Africa,
brings a report which shows how
conditions in the Dark Continent
have changed in the last ten months.
Martial law prevailed in every sec
tion where he held his mission con-
ferences, whether British, French.
Belgian or Portuguese. Outside OF
Europe, no other continent has been
affected so greatly as Africa. The
reason, of course, is that Africa is a
continent of colonies
But Bishop Hartzell may go too far
when he says that after the war Af-
rica will have a new map, no mat
ter which side wins. IF the Allies
gain the day, Germany will have no
colonies in Africa; If Germany wins,
more than quarters of the con-
tinent will be Germanized." There
may not be this. much change. At
present the Allies are encroaching
upon the German colonies and have
reduced some. One of the first acts
of the war, for instance, was the
British capture of Togoland. But the
fate of the colonies should the Allies
win, will have to be settled in con-
ference; and many a war has ended
in the restitution of captured colonies.

OFF FOR THE PICNIC
BY Wing DinEer
IN W ALL

Some friends of mine invited me
To go with them to-day
Upon a little picnic. and
I couldn't say them nay.
So. dolled up in my new white ducks
I'll leave at half-past one
To while away. on picnic grounds,
The afternoon in fun.
Wen play baseball, and when the
sphere
Is loaded down with dirt
Someone will tag me on the run.
Likewise, my clean. white shirt.
Or mayhap I'll forget myself
In case of some close play.
And do the Kelly act for base
In white ducks through the clay.
Then on the ground they'll spread a
cloth
And on it put some pies
Some cakes and jams and other sweets
To draw the bees and flies.
And ten to one some cut-up will
Give me a wholesome slap
And make me drop my cherry pie
Square in my white-duck lap.
And when it's dark I'll HE for home. o
Messed up to beat the band,
And once again I'll make some vows.
And swear by them to stand,
That never never. nevermore
To picnics will 1 go,
Yet when next summer comes around.
Pu-wen 1 guess you know.
