Start Quail Colonies

w.. C. Tegmeier, state fish and
game warden, is looking for a
dozen farmers over the state to
start "quail colonies" Cooper
alton on the part of a dozen men,
or sportsmen's clubs, will greatly
increase the number of quail and
opportunities for shooting in the
state in the next five years, Teg-
meier said yesterday.
"If a dozen farmers in differ
ent parts of the state will lease
me from ten to twenty acres of
ground for five to ten years." he
explained, 1--WE can start a quail
farm at each place. Land that
could not be used for much of
anything else, rough, wooded
stuff, ravines and draws, would
be admirably suited for the
work. There ought to be a num-
Der of patches of land that could
be planted to millet, kafir and
other grains. These need be on
ly a few hundred square yards
at a place, but enough to give
about five acres to the whole
tract.
"This department would furn-
ish eggs and bantam hens to set
on them, fence in the hatchery
and also supply number Of
pairs of quail. At the end Of the
first season each colony should
produce at least 100 quail. Half
of these probably would stay
right on the ground, the rest
would work out over the sur
rounding country and stock up
the neighborhood with quail. At
the end of five years several
counties around each colony
would be well supplied with quail
for hunting.
Farmers furnishing the
ground would be made deputy
game wardens and be placed in
charge Of the quail. | have no
doubt but that we can find plen-
ty Of men who will take advant-
age of the opportunity"
The present five-year closed
season on quail in Kansas does
not expire until the end of 1918,
Tebmeier is going to ask the
next legislature to allow quail
shooting for the first two weeks
in December, 1917. He says
there are enough quail in the
state now to allow two weeks
open season a year, with a limit
of ten birds for a days shooting.

Big Turkey Trot

One thing is certain and that
is, it pays to advertise, or else,
it pays to give away turkeys and
guineas, when a big crowd is
wanted. At any rate the bust
ness men of Meade advertised a
Turkey Trot, to be staged in
Meade, Saturday, December 30,
and Immediately following a free
matinee at Phelps theatre. A
large crowd was the response,
and promptly at one o'clock,
guineas and turkeys in turn were
turned loose from the top Of both
the Meade State and the First
National Banks. Big and little,
old and young, alike, went in
pursuit of the birds, and so COM
plete was the chase that not one
escaped. The matinee Browns
in Town." was thoroughly en-
joyed. The visitors seemed to
enjoy themselves, and if they
did, then the Meade business
men are satisfied, for the event
was given in the way of treat
to their customers.

The holiday season is now ov-

our several tasks. The observ-
ance Of the season was very ap-
propriate in Meade, with Christ
mas trees and entertainments,
and all that go to make it merry.
One feature we like very much
is the effort that was made by
those on the committees for
programs and treats at the
churches, to reach every child,
who was not a member of any
Sunday school; however this is
not unusual with the church peo-
pie Of Meade, it is more usual,
than unusual. 1t is good idea,

Isaac CovaIt is Host to His
Children at Dinner on
Christmas Day

Arising from his bed, Isaac
Covalt again preserved his Gus
tom OF sitting as host to his
children and grand children last
Christmas day, Not one was
absent, and but for the fact of
Mr.. Covalt's sickness, it would
have been merry gathering of
kinship.
His children are; Mrs. y Q.
Golllher, Mrs. Fred Ross, Mrs,
A. |. Nichols, Mr.. Elmer Covalt,
and Charles Covalt, the auction
eer, from Englewood. All the
children, with the exception of
Mrs. Nichols, of Wichita, live
within short distance of Meade.
The other relatives present, and
the only other relatives living in
Kansas, were Mr.. Thomas Bur
roughs, a brotherin law, who
has made bis home with Mr..
Covalt for several years, and
M. G. Burroughs and wife. a
nephew and niece.
Nothing was lacking except
perhaps the old time merriment
that Mr.. Covalt himself was
want TO so heartily Indulge in.
All the customary Christmas
goodies with all the trim m;ngs
were there for the inner man.
U pom preparing to arise from
the table, Mr.. Covalt asked the m
to remain seated while he gave
to each of the children the
Christmas check, signed by his
own unsteady hand, and let it be
said of Mr.. Covalt that his sig
nature is one of those that makes
any document good
He is a we'll known man
throughout the state from hav-
ing been in the land and cattle
business ever since be came 70
the state which is bout 40 years
ago, and by his superior business
ability he has accumulated quite
a nice fortune. owning 1000
acres of the finest farm and pas
ture land in Meade county aud
290 acres in Stanton county, and
800 acres in Lane county.
Mr.. Covalt is one of those men
who could distinguish between
that which looked promising and
that which really was promising.
He came to Kansas from Wavne
county, Indiana in 1872 and set
tied near Hartford, but in less
than year, moved into Coffee
county where for about 25 years
be followed the cattle business
in the old time cattle way of the
open range.
Selling Lis holdings there he
moved back to Lyon county
where for a short time he fed
and sold cattle. Then in 1878
be and James Evans of Hartford
formed partnership and con
!Inued the handling of cattle in
Chase county, handling from
three to four thousand head
yearly.
About 6 years ago he went to
