Best Hunting Spots In Illinois

TBy United Press.l

BLOOMINGTON, H., October 10
With the chilling winds Of autumn,
the water fowl are winging their way
from Canada and the northern tier OF
states to the gulf and Illinois hunters
are preparing for their annual sport.
Reports from the Illinois river and
contiguous lakes state the advance
guard of ducks and geese made their
appearance this week and the sport
promises to be excellent during the
remainder of the month, Or until the
rivers and lakes freeze, forcing the
birds to continue their flight to the
feeding grounds of the southern
states.
By the middle Of October the long
string Of hunting club houses which
dot both banks Of the Illinois, will
be filled with their quota Of nimrods,
all animated by the same idea, the
killing Of ducks and geese. With the
enforcement Of the federal migratory
bird law which prohibits sprin g
shooting, all hunters in this section
of the United States devote a por-
ton of October or November to the
quest.
The choicest hunting resorts and
which furnish the most attractive
feeding grounds are controlled large

Spring lake and Knapps Island clubs.
Each owns or leases a large body of
water and extensive tract of swamp

privileged to hunt or fish upon the

the sport less lucrative than the

Given a place to hunt the sports

Canvasbacks are especially cautious

CAMP DODGE, Iowa, Oct. 18.-
Preparations for the reception and
training of the next increment to
arrive here and which will start
mobilizing just twelve days from to-
day are completed. The S8th divi-
sional staff headquarters announced
today that at least $4,000 men from
Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and North
Dakota would start moving on that
date. This leaves $500 and 5000 to
come a short time later. 1t is figured
that the entire division will be as
sembled by November 5, when the
big drilling starts in earnest.
The quartermaster's headquarters
today said they hoped to have enough
rifles by that time to give the rookie
an idea of what is expected OF him
to fire at the Fritzies across the
trench from him when he lands In
Europe. The average today is about
one rifle to the company.
with the cool weather continuing,
the men were still getting fifteen
minutes extra work in the setting up
exercises to keep UP tho warmth OF
the body.
1t is highly pleasing to tho COM
manding officers here and to the non
commissioned officers who have been
in the service some OF them for
more than twenty years, how easily
the new men are getting acquainted
with the regularties Of army life.
The discipline, which was little lax
when the men first came to camp, is
"up to snuff" as sergeants Of several
enlistments said today. The 1axfty
in discipline earlier was not due to
any desire Of the rockies, they didn't
know or forgot, just what to do and
what to say when given com mand'
The newly commissioned officers
who took the ninety day training

lars say there is no danger of the

sters get across the ocean for crack
at the autocratic hordes.
The discipline which means so
much to the men who have made the
war game their profession is not per-
mitted to drop. The non-commission-
ed are doing their bit in aiding the
commissioned men to keep UP the
standard. Most of the non-coms have
