An investigation as to why there were only 21 persons licensed to fish with artificial bait in Faulkner coun- ty, as compared with 60 last year is being made here by W. s. Cochran and E. R. Potter of the Arkansas fish ard game commission, who arrived here yesterday afternoon. The wardens, they said, had made a number of ar rests in other counties recently for various violations of the fish and game laws. They also requested that attention be called to the law requir- ing a license of S1.50 to be paid on dogs used for hunting purposes, since the date for the open season for quail, November 20, is not far distant. No license is required for hunting, but anyone using a dog for hunting is re- quired to pay special license on the arrival to the county clerk.
