STATE SPORTSMEN
FAVOR LAW CHANGES
Would License Cut to ST., and
Farmers Exempted on
Own Farms.

The Delaware Anglers and Gunncrs
Association held n meeting in the Bot
tomlcy Building Tuesday, which was
! largely attended. Nine new members
were elected to membership. The pro-
posed new game and fish amendments
were read and considerable discussion
was had on the flaws in the game and fish
laws
One of the most important points con-
sidered, was the Sl.l0 license. which they
want changed To 81. and exenpting the
farmer on his own farm. The reason for
cNcmpting the farmer was that they
vcrtially raise the game and during the
winter, feed it.
The opening and closing dates Of the
game seasons were also urged to be chang
cd to conform to the Federal laws, which
naturally superscdc the State laws.
Hall Anderson, the chief game and fish
warden of Dover, Del, was present, as
well rs Alfred Dilahay, State game
warden.
Anderson stated that if the license
could go through. it would net the State
about $4,000 per year and with this sum
they could get a game and fish warden
system that would be a great benefit to
the protection of game and fish as well as
take care OF the song and other birds
which benefit the farmers. 1t would also
provide funds to rcstock our nearly dc
plctCd ponds

cunning for quail is benefit rs it divides
the covcys up. When a covey of Quail
gets too large, he says, they do not thrive.
and two or three hens will lay in the same
nest and fight one another.
The association wishes all its members
and their friends To make every effort to
have these laws passed. 1t will be for the
bettcmcnt Of the sport in general, and
Will put Delaware IN the ranks Of our
ncighboring States, all of which are getting
n residence license rs well as a non-resi-
dencc license.

Dear Prudie and Family:
l Just received three letters from
you. Had not received letter for
ages, and just got nine all at one
time. read in the papers yesterday
where there were three carloads of
A. E. F. mail that had not been de-
livered. Il did not receive the
Christmas package that you ana
Stella sent me nor the one that Vir-
-ginia sent either. / started this let
ter and the boys got some sugar and
wanted me to make some candy. 1t
was pulled candy and was real good.
We made all the Christmas candy
up at the place we were Christmas.
| came back to Rimancourt last
week. That is where our base is To-
Gated, but there are so many of the
doctors and nurses being dispatched
and sent to other hospitals, and
some of them going into Germany
with the Army of Occupation l
have no desire to go to Germany.
Am ready to go back to the good old
U. S. A. All the members of the A.
E. +. are to be granted leave to see
some of the country before they re-
turn to the States. / have my name
in to go to Nice and Southern
France. The government pays our
expenses while on these trips. We
are not doing very much/at present.
The Flu seems to be worse in the
States than over here. We have
had lots Of pneumonia, though.
Well, went to supper and found
another letter from you. II was
written November 10th. The latest
one of the four from you was dated
December 10. Had one from Crit
on the date which ] received two
weeks before yours.
We will soon be over here long
enough to get the gold seryice
stripes. We get silver stripes for
service in the States and gold for
foreign service. We also are EMIT
led to the foreign cross insignia,
which is given for service in the adj
vance sector.

perience. / would not have missed

An ardent Southerner in spirit,
we could not always view the sub

sionate manner. Today, standing
more than a half century removed
from that fratricidal conflict, as a
Kentuckian, we must pay homage to
the genius of that gaunt, gentle
spirited son of Kentucky, whose
tragic life casts its shadow DER the
pages of history, and whose woros
come ringing down the years.
with charity for all, and malice
toward none, seem inspired by
the teachings of the MARTYR OF
Calvary" Next Wednesday, Feb
ruary 18th, the nation which has
just passed through the "Valley OF
the Shadow" will lmeel at the shrine
of Lincoln, who preserved the Unior
in those dark days when the storm
of secession seemed about to wreck
the "Ship of State" and reaffirm
that memorable sentence that this
'Nation was conceived in Liberty
and dedicated to the proposition thai
all men are created equal"
How applicable to present day
conditions are these patriotic words

dead shall not have died in vain,-
that this nation, under God, shall
have new birth of freedom"
