Game, Miss Myrtle Hodsdon, the cnlel
clerk, in charge, from Francis l.. VIII
bur of Franklin, Hancock county, un-
der date of Feb. IL:
Il have been out on little hunting
trim for bobcats. with my bobcat dogs
and on taking a very large bobcai
track and following it for some or
miles, found one yard of deer, four IN
number. and every one killed and about
all eaten UP. / went on after the same
cat for about mile and half further
and found one more large doe oeer'
killed and partly eaten making hNe
deer in all killed and eaten by ooocals-
The snow is very deep in the WOODS,
with a bad crust for the deer to get
around in. but it will hold up the DOB
cats and give them the advantage over
the deer. Now. if there is some way 10
have the deer better protected from the
bobcats, l would like to sec 1t done.
Il think if there were more bounty
on the bobcats, SO they would be nunt-
ed more, it would be good thlng we
feel that the deer are better game ioI
the State than bobcats. SO l THINK II
the State would put bounty OF ABOUT
IS or $40 on a cat that would be an
object for the hunters to kill as many
bobcats as possible and the more cats
killed the more deer we will surely have
to hunt"
Miss Hodgdon on Feb. II sent the
following reply:

Thursday morning and at ILL in the
Executive Council chamber qualified

proper enforcement of the laws for the
protection of our fish and game. Mr..
Parsons said:

TO ADVERTISERS

Advertisers will confer a great
favor and will enable us to give
them better i;ervcLe by getting

vertisements must be handled in
the order in which they are receiv-

hours Immediately before time tc
go to press it is impossible to
handle them satisfactorily and
sometimes impossible to get all of
them in type in time. We make
every effort to give the best SER
possible but cannot guarantee
insertion of advertisements that are
not handed in before the day of
publication. Always in the last
hours before going to, press there
is rush Of news matter that can
