FIFTY DOLLARS FINE.

From the Laurel Leader.
10 Is a genuine surprise TO learn that
we have right in our midst a large
number Of men who, while not indulg-
ing in the sport afforded by Legitimate
taking Of game. are keenly interested
in the welfare Of our game. This has
become apparent during the past few
weeks and we wish TO cite an instance
or two in which excellent suggestions
have come from these men.
The question of game protection in a
more stringent degree will be taken up
at the next session OF the Legislature.
The idea is simply to provide greater
protection for game so that it will not
become extinct and the unsurpassed
sport that 10 affords will not be ruined.
We are going to offer several sug-
gestlons, some coming from the men
we have mentioned who are active In
seeking the sport but believe in protect
ing the game.

TIE NEW YEAR.

The old year 1918. with all its sorrows
and its tragedies, has passed into his
tory and we are now facing the new
year without the dread shadow Of war
and With its opportunities for good or
evil, and much viii depend upon our
selves as to what we shall make Of our
lives and these opportunities spread out
before us. We have all made mistakes
in the year just gone. That is the
frailty Of human nature, for life is
stern fight from year TO year, and it
is only the strong and the good who
get over the straight and narrow paths
without falling now and then. There
is however, always the helping hand
for the man or woman who lives a
clean life and places his trust in the
great Ruler Of the Universe who shapes
the destines Of men.
