Uncle Sam Tells Sportsmen That
They Cannot Shoot Ducks Until
This Coming E
Fall. 49,
LAW is IN FULL FORCE
Game Wardens Have No Power to
Pardon or Condone Offense and
Hunters Must Wait for y
Court Decision.

WASHINGTON. D. G., Feb. ga
misleading statement has recently be-
come current in newspapers Of the
Mississippi valley and elsewhere, to
the effect that the department. Of agri-
culture has suspended the enforce
ment of the federal regulations I'M
der the migratory bird law and by
this means has enabled sportsmen,
under state laws, to shoot wild fowl
the coming spring.
Under the federal regulations as
they now stand, the season on all
migratory wild fowl is closed until
next autumn throughout the United
States. Federal inspectors and war
dens are required, and others inter
ested in the protection of wild fowl
are requested to report to the depart
ment Of agriculture all cases Of vio-
lators of the regulations, in order
that proper action may be taken.
The department of agriculture has
nc power to suspend the law OF to
pardon violations of the regulations.
Doubtless the erroneous impression,
on which the newspaper statements
are based, has grown out of the pen
dency Of litigation involving the con-
stitutionality of the act of congress
approved March 4, 1913, under which
the regulations were promulgated.
--4e lower federal courts disagreed as
to the validity of the statute and the
issue was carried to the supreme
court Of the United States. The case
was argued in the supreme court in
October, 1915, but has not been de-
cided.
Following the lower court decisions,
congress appropriated money for the
purpose of continuing the enforce
ment Of the law. The department Of
agriculture is bound to report to the
department of justice violations of
the regulations if the supreme court
should declare the law constitutional.
All persons should, therefore, be
warned of the danger they incur from
failure t abide by the regulations.

crease in time and pay can be traced
back to the effect of the European
war which has knocked the bottom
out of the foreign labor market. Ivan,
Stefan and the rest of the ilk who
were wont to Justify swing the pick
and shovel cinders on the right of
ways are now busily engaged in stick
ing bayOnets into each other in Eu-
rope or stopping AZ centimetre shells
when the powers that be SO COM
mand. Naturally there Is a lack Of
foreign labor.
Another factor which has entered
into the situation is the fact that for
eign labor is at a premium in the
east and 1t is said that the great
steel mills are offering $500 a day
for the foreigners. Many are taking
advantage Of this high rate and each
day great numbers go east.
The Burlington railroad will begin
to store $4,000 tons of coal al West
Burlington in the near future, accord
ing to information in railroad circles
today. Fuel approximating this
amount is already stored in the yards
at the hustling suburb, and it is said
a force of men will work day and
night, unloading the coal at the rate
of twenty cars a day.

Are Medicines LIQUORS?

A certain class Of prejudiced and
jealous doctors call patent medicines
only alcoholic. beverages. They will
tell you that such and such a medi-
cine contains as much alcohol as a
glass of beer or a certain quantity OF
whiskey; but they do not mention that
the beer or whiskey is swallowed at
one draught, while only a small guam
THY Of the medicine IS taken at one
dose. At the same time they will USE
alcohol quite as freely and many in
four or five times as great proportions
in their own prescriptions.
- Such standard remedies as Lydia b.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound use
barely enough alcohol to preserve the
root and herb extractives, too little to
have injurious effects; and the medi-
cine can be had, if desired, in a non
alcoholic form.-Advertisement.

Court Officials Say Fort Madison
Vaults Are Inadequate and it
Would Mean a Big
Expenditure.
Al $50, 900
This Amount Would be Needed to
Give Room for Records From
Here-May Fight Officials
Who Sign.

The people who are clamoring for
one court house as an economical
move should look at both sides of the
question. 1t would cost the tax pay
ers Of Lee county between $50, 600
and $4,000 to make this move, right
at the start, according to a county
official.
The vaults In the Fort Madison
court house are no larger than those
In the Keokuk court house. To move
all Of the records from Keokuk to
For Madison and place them in the
vaults there would be impossible. 1t
would be necessary to build a sepa-
rate room for them or to tear out
some CT the present vaults in the
Fort Madison court house. The cost
of such a proceeding would be nc less
than 500, 900, it is said by those who
are in a position to know.
Besides making additional vault
room, new fixtures would be neces-
sary, and all Of this would O the
tax payers considerably more than
they would save by such a contem-
plated change, it is declared.
There is a move On foot among
some of the local people to ask the
various organizations of the city to
pledge themselves to vote and work
against all candidates who sign the
petition to remove the court house
from Keokuk. It will not be hard to
secure the names of the present
county officials who have signed the
petition. as evidenced by the fact
that one Of these o1icials has already
tried to Lave his name taken off the
petition. fearing the publicity which
may follow.
