Those Indian names, which it is pro-

under the new capital city boulevard
system, are very nice and mellow

by the state curator are trifie too
complicated as for instance "lnyan.

and "Pashepaho."
The simpler Indian names are liquid.

boycotting turkeys and fresh eggs do
not enroll as members the very num-
erous housewives who at no time had
the expectation of buying such things.
WHO'S till must help provide for their

be of greater benefit, urges the Cedar

More than 81 200 has been collected
in Floyd county from fishermen AMI
hunters. who have violated the game
laws That looks as if the enforce
.ment of these laws could make the de-
partnent self sustaining. Many hunt
ers believe that the department ought
to be conducted for their sole benent
and ought to be under their jurisdfe-
ton. so to speak. simply because they
pay the state game license to the tune
OF 81 per annunl,. Now, if the wardens
were alert everywhere, no doubt the
number of transgressors would be
found very large. and if there were
anything like the results in Floyd
county, perhaps that dollar license fee
might be done away with. Some
hunters incline to the belief that il the
fee were increased, that would prove
grand thing for everybody inter-
ested.
