Draft Rulings

A case recently occurred in Bidde-
ford in which an alien attempted to
evade the draft by applying for natur
alization papers after June and after
he had registered as an alien in this
country. That not much progress was
or can be made by. that individual
may be gathered from the ruling on
that very point just received by Gov
einor Milliken from Washington,
which says:
The deputy commissioner Of natur-
alization advises this Office that thous-
sands of alien registrants who we're
not declarants of June have declared
their intention to become citizens Of
the United States since that day. If
such persons were registered on June
and If, since that day. they become
oeclarants, they are subject 20 the

SAVE The DOES
A WORD TO HUNTERS

The following, sent out by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
will be of interest to every hunter and
every person who feels that the deer
should be conserved.
The open season for deer is now at
hand in many parts of the country
and in Is States the law allows both
bucks and does to be killed. In the
other states does are protected at all
seasons. The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture strongly Urges
that these Is states should make 1917
a close season on does. 1t points out
that about 100000 pounds of venison
are produced in a year.
Stree the does as a rule average
less in weight than bucks of the same
age, killing a doe instead Of a Duck
usually means considerably less meat.
Furthermore the department points
out that the supply of deer will not
increase if the breeding stock is killed
off The rapidity with which deer in
crease when does are protected is
shown by the experience in Vermont,
Pennsylvania. and other States, and
a doc spared this fall means one more
fawn as we'll as one more doe next
spring.
Make Every Deer Count
Several recommendations are made
by the department as follows:
Do not kill spike buck or doe when
you can obtain a full grown buck.
Do not kill deer when weather con-
ditions or difficulties of transportation
prevent saving the meat.
Save every pound of meat.
Save the skin and the head also if
the antlers are in good condition
Do not shoot deer at night or in the
water. or unless you can clearly see
that the animal aimed at is a full
grown buck. Failure to observe this
rule usually results in violation of
the game laws and often in the loss of
human life.
