HUNTING FORBIDDEN
ON STANFORD ROAD.

Hunting is strictly forbidden on the
Stanford pike. The pheasants that
were placed on the farm of John Farra
have paired off and have been seen at
different times on other farms and in
order to protect them those owning
farms along this road have had them
posted. These farmers would hate to
prosecute anyone seen hunting on their
land but they have entered into an
agreement to do so. Every real sports
man will recognize the wisdom of pro-
tecting these birds and not allowing
them to become frightened. Study
the law before getting out your gun!

QUAIL SEASON
OPENED MONDAY.

The season for hunting quail opened
Monday. The birds are said to be
scarce this year. Hunters must have
license before going hunting. The
license, however. does not give man
the right to hunt on another's land
without first getting the land owners
permission, and there are many land
owners who will allow no one under
any circumstances to hunt on their
farms.
