Equally as thrilling is the story Of
Cpl. Raymond Guyette, another war
cross winner. The corporal is a
soft-spcken little chap and before
he got into the war was a clerk in
the American Brass Co.'S plant at
Waterbury. Conn.
Orders came 10 capture two Ger

To make matters worse the Ger

Americans were wounded. including
Guyette; number OF the French

As Guyette. suffering from his

FISH AND GAME.
If the State Owns 1t Is it Not Respon-
sible for AL Damage?
Editor Reformer:-

Editor Reformer:-
/ recently had an argument with the
county game warden in regard to wild
game on about the following lines:
The state assumes to own the wild
deer, the fishes in the brooks, and the
water that runs in the brooks, the foxes
and the skunks, and the coons and the
muskrats, and the partridges and the
woodeock, and the wild birds.
If the state owns these things it owns
also the woodchucks, the crows, the
grasshoppers and the potato bugs, and
is responsible for the damage they do.
The county warden says, "there is no
law for that, - but how about the com
mon law that those who assume or
claim ownership of anything are re-
Sponsible for damage done. If the state
owns the wild things it owns all of
them.
Now the farmers suffer immense dam
ages in the aggregate every year from
these sources; it is continual fight
against animal, bird and insect pests.
The farmer has to feed and support
these things that the state assumes to
own, and the farmer has to bear the
damages, and at the. same time he is
forbidden to protect himself at all times
and under all circumstances.
The state admits its liability in pay
ing for damage done by deer, but these
payments are unusually inadequate and
deer are only one of the numerous wild
things that do damage, and the burden
of support and damage is still on the
farmer. / have recently been fined
800 and costs for killing a deer doing
damage on my own premises because ]
did not conform to the law. / have
counted % deer at one time on my
premises. | have supported a herd OF
them for five years on my farm, and
the burden is upon me.
