Hunters i'm Lake.

Three duck hunters of Three
Lakes had a narrow escape last
week when their boat took a dive
to the bottom of Rice lake near
Columbus. Messrs. Barker and
Epler, the garage men of that vii
iage together with another hunt
er, were after ducks on Rice lake.
Epler was perched upon a muskrat
house in the middle of the lake,
the other fellow on shore and
Barker in the duck boat. Bar
ker upset the boat, but managed
TO keep on top. The companion
upon shore ran and walked a
couple miles to the Korzilius re-
sort where he obtained an auto.
boat and boat cart to rescue his
marOoned companions. During
all this time Barker stood on the
upturned boat in water to his
hips, while Epler remained perch
ed upon the muskrat house, which
insisted upon sinking at the rate
of an inch every few minutes. 1t
was a lucky escape for both Bar
ker and Epler.

SEASON OPENS Noy. l3
Deer Season Opens on Sum-
day This Year-Five Days
Closed to All Game Before
the 18th.

Sunday, November 18th of this
year is the opening date of the
1921 deer season and continues TO
the night of Tuesday, November
22nd-ten days of active hunting
in all. Only bucks one year old
and over may legally be killed.
Another important feature of
this law is that FIVE days prior
to the opening day no gun may
De carried in that period in open
and in operative condition. All
guns must be encased or taken
down. The penalty for this vio-
iation is a heavy fine coupled with
the fact that your gun will be
confiscated and your license re-
voked. This means shotguns as
well as rifles.
The aim of the law is to do
away with preseason hunting and
in this manner conserve the game
which is NOW rapidly being de-
pleted by this method of hunt
ing. Every year has seen hunters
by the score coming up into the
deer grounds and hunting with
all the vim that the regular hunt
er shows during the legal hunt
ing days. The preseason hunt
er gets his deer long before the
law-abiding man gets into the
field and the result is a hardship
TO the person who spends his
hunting season as the law de-
mands. Now if any one is caught
carrying a gun anywhere and at
any time five days prior TO the
opening of the deer season, he is
out of luck.
Last year Three Lakes sports
men cleaned up preseason hunt
ers to such an extent that their
game grounds this year will not
be cleaned out before the season
opens.
II is stated that there will be
close TO 200 special wardens in
this section of the hunting ter
ritory during the next month.
The hard-boiled violator will
therefore have a hard time in
following his previous methods of
hunting before season.

With strident buzz to wake from my nap
And flitst with taunt around my head

Thou spoier of my joy I'd spill thy gore
And crush thee 70 a putrid of pulp
That ne'er would poster sensiye mortals mOre
May all thy hated firefoOted brood
Be forced aching wing to stay,
And find resting place but Tangefoo,
With sparrow mouths and toad tongues in the way!
And thee my arm, when next thou lghtst,
hope tits slippery cup. by heck
Where you will slide and tumble DER the edge,
And, falling. break your blasted foolish neck
