PROMISE TO REDUCE THE
COST OF LIVING
NOT KEPT.

Our opponents promised to re
duce the cost OF living. This
they have failed to do But they
did reduce the opportunities Of
making a living. Let us not for
get the conditions that existed in
this country under the new tariff
prior to the outbreak Of the war.
Production had decreased, busi-
ness was languishing, new enter
prises were not undertaken. in
stead Of expansion there was
curtailment and our streets were
iiled with the unemployed. What
ground is there for expecting
better conditions when the un-
healthy stimulus of the war has
spent its force and our industries
and workingmen are exposed to
the competition Of an energized

Duck Season Is
Open, But Don't
Shoot On River!
Game is Plentiful Near The
Cape This Year, Nimrods
Report-Wild Tu rkey
Gobblins in the Swamps.

The season for wild goose and duck
shooting opened in Missouri Friday,
and several Cape Girardeau nimrods
will depart today for nearby lakes and
small streams to do their first autumn
shooting.
\ small flock of nallard ducks were
seen swimming on the river opposite
the Cape yesterday morning. Quite
number of ducks of various species
have been seen near Cape Girardeau
since the warm weather disappeared.
The Federal migratory bird law will
prevent shooting on the Mississippi
River this fall and next spring, lust
as it did last year. A suit to test the
validity of the law is now pending in
the United States Supreme Court, bat
it may not be reached by the court for
another year. The law imposes heavy
penalty for shooting any kind of water
fowl on streams running north and
south. This law is intended to protect
the water birds on their flights from
their nesting grounds in the extreme
north to the winter quarters in the
southland.
There is going to be plenty of quail
in the vicinity of Cape Girardeau this
season, hunters report While the sea-
son for quail shooting does not open
until November 10, nimrods always
make an early investigation of the
hunting conditions in advance.
When quail are seen in large num-
berS by motorists along country roads
hunters say it is evidence that the
birds are plentiful that year. On every
road running out of the Cape. quail
may be seen Just before twilight each
day. y 3nisF "
A number of wild turkeys have been
noticed by farmers living in the vicin-
ity of Allenville ard in several local
tiles in Scott County. The dredge
workers on the Little River bitches
found several turkey nests during the
summer, and a large number of eggs
than usual were found in most of them.
Several f1ocks of young turkey have
been seen recently in the swampS. Jack
Frissell, who lives at Whitewater, re-
Gently saw huge turkey gobbler lead
ing a hen and flock of young turkeys
near his home last week. He says he
has seen an unusually large number OF
these birds south of the Cape this sum-
