GAME IS PLENTIFUL;
So IS U%NDERBRUSH

Frosty air and the scent of game,
together with that less romantic but
nevertheless essential feature, the
coming of open hunting seasons, has
brought business to the county clerk.
November is just two weeks old and
already Ill hunting licenses have
been issued. In the entire month OF
October 127 were issued, and the total
for the year, up to date, is $40.
November sees more of the hunted
beasts and birds "in season" than any
other month in the year except Dec
ember, which is equal to it. Rabbits
and squirrels are in season from June
/ to January /; open season for qualls
begins November 10 and lasts until
January /; duck season comes in Sept
ember Is, but the birds do not begin
flying over until about November; and
trapping is not allowed save in the last
two months of the year.
There are a few persons in The
county who never allow their hunting
licenses to expire; have them auto
m~atically (by means of the machinery
in the county clerks office) renewed
the first of every year; but the ma
jority of people put off getting licenses
until they start hunting for the first
time, and in thecase of almost half OF
the hunters in thecounty, that is not
until October or November.
Men and boys of all ages between
10 and so have applied for permits tc
hunt this year. P. S. Morris, of the
latter age, is the oldest man in Audrai!
county to whom a license has beer
issued;one man, who is o SO, usually
gets one, according to Ross B. Cauth'
orn, county clerk, but he has not calle'
for one tbs year. Several boys of thu
age of thirteen have procured licenses
but none younger than that. Only on
woman has so far got a license; she
Mrs. Lillian Lloyd, Of Mexico. Their
are usually the names of several VIC
men on the records.
According to Lewis Y. Moore, 0
those who never allows his license :
expire, and is one of the most arden
hunters in the county, game is plenti
full this year; especially ducks, of whic
there arc more now than there hav
been in a number of years.
Quails are plentiful here, too; bu

tage is the present day, modern, wire

Mr.. Moore was out Thursday afte
noon, and killed the limit of ten quail
he says there is not much use to go Il
all day, because mi mar is above
only ten birds a day, and if he is an!
thing like a good shot he can get h
e quota in an afternoon or morning.
t ooh, yes, hunting is good this year
said Mr.. Moore; "But many person

Y one look at the underbrush and CON

all the low places a man has to wac

1t is expected that after the fir
s snow comes and mashes down some
q this u%nderbrush, there will be mo
hunting because of the greater ca,
It with which it can be done.

WANTS PEOPLE Of
j, s. INFORMED D ON
PRINCIPLES.
Senator FreIinghuySen Favors
PIebiSCite Before Senate Isl
Called Upon to Pass on the
Peace Treaty,

Washington, Feb 2S.--Disputing
any assumption that President Wilson
represents public sentiment in pro-
posing Americas participation in the
league of nations. Senator Freling
huysen of New Jersey, republican,
speaking today in the senate, demand
ed that the country be fully informed
and allowed to express its decision be-
fore the senate is called upon to ratify
the peace treaty
THE president is the chosen leader
of the United States" Senator F're-
linghuysen said. ANY proposal which
he makes will naturally carry with
it great weight, If he proposes in
behalf of the United States the use
of the army and navy to preserve the
peace of the world what position will
the senate be in should such a pro-
posal be adopted. Constitutionally
we WILL however. not be free from
embarrassment should other nations
say to us, Your chief executive spoke
in behalf of the American public and
supposedly voiced their views. 4"
Senator Frelnghuysen said that
notwithstand the fact that the presi-
dent gave assurances that the con-
clusion of peace was of transcend
ent" Importance, spring has almost
come and the president has returned
without any treaty of peace" He
added that the president had never
communicated as he had promised,
any information to congress during his
twelve weeks in Europe.
THE world longs for peace" the
senator said. but | cannot believe
that universal peace will come through
through any plan which Its authors
refuse to have the public carefully
study, critiCise and understand before
giving approval"
Disputing the contention of former
President Taft that ii is the duty of
critics of the league to suggest better
plan, the senator said "the burden of
proof was upon the shoulders of the
league advocates
Criticism does not necessarily
mean hostility" the speaker said, IF
1t is possible to have a league which
will substitute the pen for the sword
we most certainly want it,"
The conclusion to be derived from
the presidents Boston speech, the New
Jersey senator said, was that Europe
today Is a seething cauldron and that
nations will be at each others throats
within generation unless we prevent
it, and that none of the nations of
Europe trust each other. but that all
trust u.s."
"Are we to join such a partner
ship?" the senator asked. "The roll
of peacemaker in such a combination
Is indeed one to be seriously consid-
cred"

ERMAN ASSEM- BLY,
PASSES DAY WITH
TALKING EXERCISES

Weimar, Thursday. Feb. 81, (by
Associated Press) The discussion of
the national army bill in the national
assembly and a squabble over per
sonalities that occurred this morning
so greatly delayed the procedure of
the assembly that it was unable even
to begin the discussion of the new
constitution, consideration of which
had been set for today and the two
days following. 1t was thought to-
night that the constitution would
come up tomorrow
The assembly ended the morning
session with recess which was to
have lasted until $3.50 o'clock, but it
was o'clock before the body actual
ly assembled. 1t then took up the
bill for the enactment of the transit
ton law, which provides broadly that
the powers once vested in the em-
peror shall devolve upon the minister
president that the powers of the for
mer bundesrath shall be lodged with
the senate and those of the forme"
chancellor with the ministry.
Speakers from every part of the
country talked at length to nearly
empty house, the greater part of the
members either having gone home or
remaining in the lobbies.
President Fehrenbach had had
enough with the morning session Of
the assembly and when the recess
came he handed over the duties of
the presiding officer TO Vice President
Conrad i!aussmann and disappeared
for the day.

ALLEGED PLOTS
Of EX-EMPE PER0R
STOPS VISITING
Since Call of Governor of the
Dutch Province Of Utrecht,
Mysterious Visits of the Ger
mans Have Ended.


Amerongen, Feb. 81 (Thursday by
the Associated Press. 1.-The Dutch
governor of Utrecht, who has sur
veillance over the former German
emperor visited the castle of Count
Won Bentinck last night, supposedly in
connection with the recent activities
of William Hohenzolern and German
officials who have visited him. Since
the publication in Holland of Assoei-
ated Press dispatches telling of these
visits, the officials have ceased to
come here.
The former monarch has not gone
beyond the castle grounds in the last
nine weeks and apparently has no
intention of moving to another loca-
ton. although many reports have
been current regarding the leasing of
castle at Hardenbroek, near Doom.
which belongs to another member of
the order of st. John of Jerusalem
The correspondent visited Hardenbroek
and found the castle mentioned to be
almost entirely unfurnished. The only
point in its favor is its lonely position,
mile from any other habitation.
Herr Hohenzollern's attendants also
deny any intention of moving and this
is strengthened by further precautions
recently taken around the Won Ben
tinck castle to shield IL guest from
the public gaze. The openings in the
wall about the garden have been
thickly boarded and topped with
barbed wire.
While the ex-emperor performs his
daily task of saving wood for three
hours, his wife strolls about the
grounds. mostly alone. The former
ruler is still engaged afternoons in re-
plying personally to thousands of let
ters of greeting received on the ocea-
sion of his recent birthday. 1t is re-
ported that several efforts have been
made by his supporters to induce him
to return to Germany, but without
success
The German government apparent
lv continues to pay the salaries of the
former kaiser's servants and even
makes arrangements for them to be
relieved at regular intervals although
his staff is much smaller than hither-
to. Count Chamberlain Won Gontary
continues his functions still remain
ing state official under the orders
of the Hoffmarschallant," or Lord
Chamberlain office, in Berlin.
General Won Estorff, who has been
i'm attendance upon his former impe-
rial master left today for visit to
Germany, accompanied by the younger
Won Bentinck, who was formerly in
the German navy.

is in the throes of a widespread polit-
ical strike affecting large parts of
SaXony, Thuringia, and Anhalt, and

The workmen in Leipzig voted last

Washington, Feb. 2S.--Additional

given by a summary of reports Sc
cured recently from number of ref

Stockholm. The summary was made
public today by the state department
because Iof the various conflicting ac-
counts of conditions which have been

The party at Helsingfors," said
the summary, was composed of

the excessive cost of all necessaries

quoted at four rubles $50 a pound
horse meat at Is rubles per pound,
pork at 60 rubles and bread at Is

only source of a great war is to be

Section II relating to regulation of

the league was to have control over
both land and water transportation
then il would mean the repeal of
American coastwise trading acts.
The section requiring that no ma

conflicts with the authority of the

judgment necessitate a constitutional

Independent socialist leader, during
the third reading of the national army
bill in the German national assembly
at Weimar, protested against the en-
ployment of the national army in re-
establishing order in Germany. He
accused the government of breeding
violence. War Minister Noske in re-
ply, called attention to the part play
ed by, Russian agents in the present
movement and insisted that it was
necessary to put a stop to their activi-
ties.
Herr Fleischer of the centrist party
urged that non-commissioned officers
ought to be the backbone of the new
force and that they should be given
increased pay in order to meet the
high cost of living. Minister Noske
replied that the increase would be
discussed, but If the non commissions
ed officers only were to be saved
from Bolshevism by increased pay,
they would prove poor help to the
government.
