too bad that a man who loves wild
game can't buy Il for his own table.
F. r. Wilson.
A. Every state n the union now

der the federal migratory bird rsgu-
lations OF treaty. II really does look
upon the face o. the proposition az

whereby & man who Is q lover Of
enough for his own table use. the
only avenues I can suggest Is to stand

time 70 the open and VIII occasionally
drop II with an extra brace Of birds.
