BY Morris Ackerman,
Famous Hunter and Trainer

Frequently we have had the ques
ton submitted asking our opinion
on whether the pump and auto-load-
ing shotguns would be barred in GER
tain states and our opinion Of the
worth Of this variety of gun as q
sportsmanlike game getter.
The question is one that many
hunters would rather not see discuss
ed. Yet it is of material Importance
to the man buying a shotgun. y
In our <9udgment the pump and
auto-loader will only be barred gen.
orally when hunting itself becomes
a thing of history. Our reason for
making this assertion is that the
hunter and not the gun makes the
game butcher.
There is no use denying the fact
that the pump and auto leaders are,
in many instances superior game-get-
tiers to the single and double guns.
Especially is this true in duck hunt
ing. But for field work on fast-goins
land birds the double gun is a great
ammunition saver over the other va
rieties. o..
There is no more use in yelling
calamity over the pumps and autos
than there was when the breech-
loading shotgun knocked out the muz-
b~le-loader. The only argument today
is there is less game. This condi-
ton was so before the new guns came
to the front. Better game laws more

CHEERFULNESS

NY Dear Children-what is your idea Of
CHEERFULNESS?
Did you know that II was a good thing
to have people say that YOU are cheerful?
was talking to a hotel man the other day
and he told me that one Of his cooks was
CHEERFUL. had never thought Of using
the word in that connection before. II
seems that when the help" are cheerful It
makes things go smoother and every one is
happier hope you are cheerful about your
work. As one decayed apple in the barrel
is likely to spoil the whole barrel, so in the
household some one who is not cheerful is
likely TO upset the whole family.
Remember that
These are very trying times Every one
has something to do which he has never
done before and it is the question of adapt
ing ourselves to these new conditions and
getting used to the uncertainty of things
that keeps us anxious.
Everything goes all the smoother IL we
try to be cheerful.
There is no use talking, we are ALWAYS
AFFECTED by those with whom we come in
contact The thing is, do not let the grouchy
ones upset us, cling to the cheerful ones
and let us be cheerful ourselves
Will you try?
Your loving editor,
