Washington. July 15.-That George

A large number Of Crystal Falls
fishermen spent last Tuesday. the last
day of trout season, on their favorite
streams angling for the speckled
beauties. Although many good catches
OF trout have been brought home by
local fishermen this season, II is gem
orally said that the season has not
been as good as usual because OF the
cold weather, which. according TO Lou
Green aud a number OF other enthus-
lasts, has made fishing disagreeable.
Last Thursday morning marked the
beginning OF the legal duck hunting
season and many local hunters are
preparing for a hunt today and to-
morrow. Ducks are reported to be
plentiful this fall on the small inland
lakes in this vicinity.

PAY FOR HUNTING
FEE s1.oo FOR SMALL GAME
Without Hunting License Carrying
a Gun In the Woods
Is Unlawful

Even citizens OF Michigan may no
longer hunt the states game, large or
small without paying for the privilege.
State Game Warden Oats has in
structed his deputies TO arrest any
man found carrying gun in the
woods before Oct. 1st. Since the rab-
bit and partridge season will open at
the same time this year, a person
who takes his gun out for the pur-
pose of hunting partridge cannot
evade arrest by asserting that he is
out after rabbits.
II is expected that all hunters will
be aware of the provision that only
one deer may be killed during the
deer season. The hunters license
law provides that each hunter must
carry license which must be shown
10 deputies. on demand. Licenses
must even be secured for rabbit out
side OF the county in which one lives.
Get your license for duck and all
wild water fowl before you start
hunting September /, is warning
sent out by the state game warden's
department This includes all who
would hunt water fowl except far
mer hunting on his own farm.
All who would hunt this fall will
have to take out license. IL you
hunt on your neighbor's farm you
need license just the same. County
Clerk Wall is supplied with licenses.
Deer licenses are placed within
easy reach of purchasers by means of
deputies appointed by the county
clerk in places easy Of access and well
distributed through the county.
For making out a $3.50 deer license
the law allows the deputy small fee.
The statute makes no such allowance
for the 81 license required to hunt
small game. The county clerk would
like TO hear from responsible per
son in every township in the county
who possesses sufficient public spirit
20 handle small game licenses with
out other reward than his own self
approval and the thanks OF those
whom he accommodates. AS hereto
fore a deer license will cost $3.50. but
in order to hunt deer one must hav,
both licenses.

A sILo WILL SAVE LATE CORY

But aside from this excellent reason
for adding silo to the equipment OF
the farm, there are on very many
farms special reasons for such q
course this present season. Owing to
the backward spring and the excess
sively wet weather which has prevsil-
ed up to the present time, the Michi-
gan corn crop has not attained any
where near its usual stage Of develop
ment for this season OF the year, and
unless exceptional conditions prevail
during the balance OF the season, very
much of IL will be cut by frost before
II natures. In view OF this impending
danger, the erection OF a silo will give
the farmer with backward corn crop
an added feeling OF security and a pro-
bable source OF profitable saving out

investment required

Another accident occurred al the
forks of the roads. which leads mainly
to Iron River and the Tobin location.
when DR.. Hockings' Ford car, driven
by his son and Y. Anderson, in rig
drawn by a single horse, figured in
head-on collision.
The accident happened last Sunday
night. Mr.. Anderson was returning
from town and was crossing the Tobin
road to get onto the Iron River road
when the Ford, which was coming
from the Dunn. struck the horse,
breaking its leg and necessitating the
killing Of the animal after the acci-
dent Mr.. Anderson and the boy es-
capped with but few minor injuries.
A strong light at the forks OF the road
blinded the boy as he rounded the last
turn before reaching the forks and be-
fore he could bring his car to stop to
get accustomed to the light, the acci-
dent occurred. The car was slightly
damaged
