Card Of Thanks.

AS it seems the mighty events
of the day have brought the world
war to a close, we desire to ex-
tend to the citizens of Fulton
County our hearty thanks for
their loyal support.
Our duty has been an bnpleas-
ant task. Regardless of per-
sonal feelings, we tried to the
best of our ability to follow the
rules laid down by the Selective
Service Regulations.
We desire t1 congratulate the
registrants OF nr county in their
prompt response to all calls, some
of which caused inconvenience
and expense; but we were only
carrying out the duty imposed
upon US by the war department.
There was never a call made for
our boys that they did not respond
and filled the quota called for.
In their prompt response all honor
is due the boys of Fulton County.
To our boys we extend our per-
sonal congratulations upon their
truly great achievements.
The living will come back; but
the dead, who we believe are
few, will remain where they fell
in defense of their country's
rights. They must not be for
gotten.
The work has taxed US to the
uttermost-at times being COM
PEELED to neglect our personal
business.
In large measure credit fer
having given civilization to the
world must be given those who
went to the front, to the camps,
and those who remained ready for
the call and were anxious to 90.
1t is true all could not go, for
it was necessary to increase the
food production to feed the Army.
In continuing the completion
Of our work, we extend to those
who have assisted in any way
our sincere thanks.
With our deepest appreciation
and thanks for your loyalty and
patriotism, we wait for the return
and prosperity of those who will
come back; and for those who
have been unfortunate and died
for their country's cause, we ex-
tend to the parents and friends
our sympathy.
We are, Local Draft Board Full
ton County.

SpOrtSme0, Take Notice!

game flSh, the Red-WOlf Rod ana
Gun Club, and Game Protective
Association, has recently been
formed sociable and inolfensive
in time of peace, but revengeful,
and relentless when goaded to
anger.
The object and purpose of this
organization is the propagation
and protection of the wild game
in our forests, and the fish in our
streams. The conflict in Europe,
clearly demonstrated to us the
consequences which follow a
disregard of law and the rights
of those who would abide by the
laws of the land.
All spirituous mault or brewed
liquors are being legislated out of
public use-not because of its be-
ing useless and unnecessary, but
on account of its abuse and the
fragrant violations of regarding
its use. So, likewise, is our game
and fish laws being violated.
But a few years since our
streams abounded with fish, our
forests and hills here alive to the
call of the Quail, and the fluff of
the Pheasant-and the strut of
that grand game and noble bird
the Turkey Gobler, but now all,
almost extinct. Why, because of
the disregard of the law.
Thousands of dollars are con-
tributed annually by the sports
men of the country for the pro-
lection propagation, and lebera-
ton of game and as Compensa-
tion of game wardens, game pro-
tectors and deputy game protec-
tors, all of whom are sworn to
perform certain duties, relative
to their each and every official
position. Some of which beyond
a doubt are true to the trust i'm
posed, while we have good rea-
son to believe that others either
through bigotedness, ignorance,
or Intentionally, greatly exceed
their authority, and to the full
knowledge of their superiors and
greatly to the detriment of a we'll
intended project, and yet the
gamehog and the sack-season
hunter is abroad in the land with
US and roam the forests at will,
and their number is legion, and
there in lies much cause for our
trouble, intentional violation of
the law.
Thousands of domesticated
turkeys are raised annually in al
most every county in this COM
monwealth. And it is the opin-
ion and belief Of this organiza-
tion-that with but a fractional
part of the anual cost of the
maintainance of our present well
intended game protective system,
and through a more judicious
system of feeding, and care
through the more difficult winter
months, and by the liberation for
a limited time of wild game birds
and game mammals, and with
the restocking of our streams
with fish suited thereto-com-
bined with a Vigilant and relent-
less prosecution and enforcement
of the game laws, regardless of
person or persons, or place OF
residence. That in the near fu-
ture thousands of wild game Of
all kinds (native) would abound
in our forests and hills the
natural habitation of all wild
game, as we'll as the fish in our
streams and in this our present
combining in unison together for
the protection and propagation of
game in our forests and fish in
our streams.
We ask and solicit the co-opera-
tion of all interested in the pro-
lection, preservation and liberia
ton Of wild game.

Colored Snowstorms.

Colored snowstorms were recorded as
long ago as the sixth century, and a shower
of red hail is said by Humboldt to have

color In 1903 red snow fell to depth of
over FIVE feet in Carniola. Austria Some
of the scarlet snow was melted in a yes

MODIFY GAME REGULATIONS.
President Moves to Encourage the
Propagation of Waterfowl.

President Wilson s recently promul-
gated regulations of the hunting, pos
session, and sale of migratory game
birds under the new treaty with Can
ada have been amended to encourage
the propagation of migratory water
fowl in captivity and to ease certain
restrictions that seemed unnecessary.
An amendment of regulation No. 6
has the effect of removing the Gmita-
ton on the numher of birds. that may
be transported within a. state during
the federal open season. The export. of
migratory game birds is limited to two
days bag limit during any one calendar
week of the federal service. Persons
must comply with state laws further re
Istricting the shipment or Transports
tion of migratory birds.
An amendment to paragraph 2 of reg
ulation No. 8, which is of great inter
est to- breeders of game, permits migra-
| tory waterfowl raised in domestication
to be killed by shooting during the re
spectiye open seasons for waterfowl
and the sale thereof subject to state
laws; but after March 81, 1919, such
waterfowl killed by shooting cannot be
sold or purchased unless each bird, be
fore attaining the age of four weeks
shall have had removed from the wei
of one foot a portion thereof in tht
form of ''V' large enough to make
a permanent, well-defned mark, whicl
shall be sufficient to identify it as ;
bird raised in domestication.
Another amendment provides tina
the plumage and skins of migratory
game birds legally killed may be pos
scsscd and transported without a fed
eral permit. Provision is also made TO
the issuance of special permits authoriz
ing taxidemists to possess, buy, sell
and transport migratory birds.
Two new regulations have been added
Regulation No. II provides for the is
suance of permits authorizing person
to sell migratory game birds lawful
killed and by them lawfully held j
cold storage on July 81, 1918. Sue
birds may be sold under permit unit

Another new regulation is as follows
Nothing in these regulations shall b
construed to permit the taking, pos

eggs contrary TO the laws and regult
tions of any state, territory, or distrlt
