"Feed the Biras."
TO District Deputy Game Wardens,
State OF Maryland.

Ns~~0 0A AsAea4 SWAMI
Az you are aware, we have been
using our best efforts to have The
public Feed the Birds" especially
bob-white quail. 1t is requested that
you get in touch with reliable farm
ers throughout your District either
by phone or postal cards, request
ing them to try and locate bevies of
birds and feed same, and IL they do
not wish to do this gratis, tell them
we will pay for the feed used.
You undoubtedly know there is a
heavy sleet covering the earth
throughout the State, which Is very
unusual to continue as long as it has
this season. The proper way to &C
about feeding the birds, is. to locate
the birds, take a spade and clean OFF
the earth and put out some feed
(most any kind of grain will answer
the purpose,) then each day return
to that place, and see IL the birds
have fed on same.
A great many farmers do not take
Ola iutOkC ct IA tuo bpOIt VI HuHtAn6
and for this reason, would possibly
not grant your request, although
they should be interested, as the
Quail are Of more advantage to agri-
cultural interests than any species OF
birds we have in our State.
I, II you can get in touch with the
sportsmen throughout your District
and request them to feed the birds
stating IL they do not care to feed
them gratis, we will pay for what
ever feed they purchase within o
reasonable amount.
= Kindly attend to this matter al
once, and report the results.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) e. LEE LECOMPTE,
State Game Warden.

BLUFF.

Walk right up to trouble,
Try little song.
Never make grief double
By helping it along.
Walk right up and face it,
Bump it, good and strong.
If you can't erase it,
Don't carry it along.
Tell the world about your luck?
No! Meet 1t with a grin.
If you have the nerve and pluck
Why man! You're bound to win.
