STATE GAME WARDEN SENDS
OUT INSTRUCTIONS TO coUN-
TY AUDITOR.


State Game Warden E. c. Hinshaw
is sending out letter to all the coun'
ty auditors and Auditor Bissell receiv'
ed his this morning in which infor
nation Is given regarding the issuance
of hunting licenses to boy under
fourteen years Of age.
Mr.. Hinshaw says that the law pro-
hibits any boy under fourteen years
old to carry gun in Iowa, but IT
says nothing to prevent him from
shooting it providing someone else
carries it for him. On that ground the
state warden says that it is proper
for the auditor to issue license to
anyone applying, If they fill the re-
quirements, regardless of age.
Mr.. Bissell calls attention to the
fact that licenses are required for
trapping the same as for hunting and
Wapello county gamesmen are asked
to take notice of this change. Also
that every nonresident and unnatur
allied citizen must pay $40 for per
nit. All others pay 81.
