WOULD HOLD UP GAME LAWS.
Sentiment Il That Game Laws Should
BE Lifted Of Certain Restrictions.


That there is considerable senti-
ment going the rounds OF the upper
and lower peninsula among hunters
and fishermen that the game laws Of
the nations should be abolished for
the period OF the war Is evidenced IN
a lengthy communication sent 10 the
press by James w. Trover, a Chippe-
wa county sportsman.
Mr.. Trover says there lives no per
son who loves the life Of a sports
man better than he does, but that he
Is willing to deny himself these
pleasures for the sake Of the country
he has adopted and for the sake Of
the boys who are fighting for the
country.
The burden OF Mr.. Troyer's con-
tention Is that the game laws should
be lifted OF certain restrictions In or
der that the common people can take
their guns and fishing rods and fur
nish their families with the food which
Is being held from them by hig1
prices and meat shortage.
Mr. Troyer would substitute the
present laws with strict provisions
which would prohibit the sale or bar
terlng Of wild game and fish. Epec-
tally would he prohibit the shipment
OF choice bits Of game to the hotels
and eating houses. In fact he would
remove ali commercially from hunt
Ing and fishing.
III We had laws 81 this kind" he
writes. there d no chance for an ar
gument but what tho result wouli
relieve the present meat situation as
far as the laboring men are concern
ed. Most Of them can find time dur
ing the week 70 80 out and get al
least enough FISH or game to rclive
the commercial meat shortage"
II is charged in Mr.. Troyer's let
ter that about the only objection 70
be made to the carrying out OF this
plan will be made by 'pennyante'
sportsmen who can take twenty days
away from their business at the deer
season and glut themselves TO the
point OF waste Of precious food. These
men. lie says, give away large part
Of what they shoot the meat Is not
what they need or want, they are
what lie terms game hogs. Other OBJ
jections will come from those who
have foodstuffs to sell at war prices.
