FEW HUNTERS IN -,
-: LICENSE QUEST

Either because there are few men
left to hunt. or for the reason that
the average male is too busy just now
to consider hunting, very few licenses
have been issued to date. The 175th
hunting license was issued by the Bur.
leigh county auditor this morning
Last year more than 1000 licenses
were issued in the county. 1t is pre-
dicted that the total this year will not
exceed 80 per cent Of that number.
