TIGHTEN RESTRICTIONS.

Farmers Bulletin 1885 of the U. S.
Department Of Agriculture contains a
summary of the federal and state game
laws for 1921, compiled by thesU. s.
Biological Survey. Among the not
able changes taking effect this year is
the amending of the migratory bird
treaty act regulations with respect to
bag limits. This amendment provides
that the daily bag limit of any person
shall now include ''all birds taken by
any other person who for hire accom-
panies or assists him in taking migra
tory birds" This will put an end to
the abuse of privileges under the regu-
lations regarding the prescribed daily
bag limits by persons who claim that
birds were killed by guides accompany
ing them.

HUNTERS ARE BAG GING MANY
PRAIRIE CHICKENS, BUT
FEW DUCKS.

The hunting season opened with a
bang, Friday morning, and many local
nimrods took advantage of the OPP
portunity to begin activities. The
weather was ideal for duck hunting,
but the supply of these fowls is rather
limited, owing to the continued drouth
during the past summer. It is only
on the lakes and larger sloughs that
ducks are to be found. Prairie chick
ems, on the other hand, are quite
plentiful, as the dry weather pro-
tected the young during the summer
Quite a number of good bags
have been reported.
Sunrise and Sunset Schedule.
1t no doubt will be Of interest to
those of our readers who are nimrods,
to have reliable schedule of the time
OF sunrise and sunset during the hunt
ing season, and for this reason we

BOATS RUINED
By MISCREAN||'T]I|'S
LOCAL NIMRoDs SUFFER BIG
DAMAGE TO HUNTING
PARAPHERNALIA.
CRAFT WERE PLACED ON WOOD
LAKE, NEAR coMFREY,
BY OWNERS.

Someone took the JOY out Of the
opening days duck hunting for
dozen or more New Ulmites, who
.journeyed to Wood Lake, some five
or six miles distant from Comfrey,
Thursday, to try their luck. A few
days previously, five hunting boats,
belonging to some members Of the
party, were hauled out to the lake and
launched there so that everything
would be in readiness when the mighty
fnimrods arrived to begin their sport.
They were placed in the water on the
west end Of the lake, the adjoining land
being the property Of Frank Schneider
of Springfield.
Boats We're Ruined.
Imagined the utter disappointment
of the local hunters, when, upon reach
ing the place where the boats had been
launched, they found that some mis-
creant or miscreants had wrought their
total ruin by chopping large holes into
the sheet metal bottoms and also
damaging the sides of the craft beyond
repair. The havoc was discovered
by an advance party, who Immediately
went to neighboring farmhouse to
telephone their comrades in the hope
of heading them off,. so that they
would not make the trip to Wood Lake
in vain. The others had already left
their homes here, however, when the
messages reached New Ulm.
Farm Not Tenanted.
The Schneider farm is temporarily
without tenant and it is believed that
the perpetrators of the cowardly acts
knew this. Neighbors stated that
during Wednesday hight they heard
quite commotion on the lake shore,
near the place where the boats we're
anchored, but thought it might be the
owners at work getting the craft ready
for a hunting expedition. Efforts are
being made to ascertain the identity
of the, guilty parties and prosecute
them. It is to be hoped that these
efforts will prove successful.
comfrey ,Nimrods to Rescue.
The local hunters were given a
demonstration Of true sportsm anship
by a number of Comfrey nimrods, who,
upon learning the plight of the New
Ulmites, Immediately placed number
