The Game Season

Willis +. Parsons of FoNcroft, COM
missioner of Inland Fisheries and
Game, in commenting on the big
game season which closed in Maine
at midnight Wednesday night said
Wednesday that it is too early ia
make an estimate of the amount OF
game killed this year as compared
with last season, as complete detailed
reports will not reach the Office be-
fore December 10.
However,. up to November %. the
game shipments through Bangor
were 1,749 deer as compared with
1855 up to the same date last sea-
son." said Commissioner Parsons.
1.-THE number of bears. however,
shipped up to November %, 1921,
was only eight as compared with %
shipped during the same period last
year."
"Noisy hunting conditions contin-
ued until almost the last day Of Oc-
tober, but the conditions were much
better during November. Until COM
plete reports are received of game
shipments on all railroads as we'll as
from the more than 600 automobile
inspectors in the state, it will be i'm
possible to give an estimate OF the
amount of game transported by resi-
dents and residents, by express
and by automobile this season.
For the convenience Of hunters,
all town clerks and more than 100
wardens, express agents and other
persons were detailed to serve as
automobile inspectors all over the
state. AS can be appreciated, this
automobile system has entailed q
vast amount of detail work for the
department, but the requirements
seemed necessary in view of the fact
that transportation of game by auto
mobile has increased greatly during
the past few years.

Dogs a Menace


Increased complaints of dogs rum
ming at large and annoying or des-
troying much game have been re-
ceived at the office of the department.
1t is a matter of regret to interested
sportsmen,. as expressed by numerous
letters to and in conversation with
the commissioner, that the last leg
islature failed to enact some measure
providing for further restriction
along the line of dogs running at
large than exist at the present time
The fact that even though a dog,
which is pernEtted to run at large
and starts in to chase q deer of its
own accord, is liable to be killed by
any one so finding it, does not appear
to cause many dog owners to look
closely after their dogs, and if small
game as well as deer are to receive
adequate protection, some further re-
striction must be enacted.
LAS fast as complaints are received
of dogs chasing deer and the identity
of their owners or keepers are estab-
llshed. statutory notice is immediate
ly forwarded to the owner, but the
large proportion of the dogs which
do not happen to be killed by parties
finding them chasing deer are not
identified.
I'm consequence Of extreme
drought conditions which prevailed
during the past season, the supply OF
fish in many of our brooks and
streams has been greatly reduced
but the department hopes to offset
this loss by increased output from all
OF our hatcheries the coming season
To this end. 100000 square tailed
trout eggs have been purchased. te

to replace the loss occasioncd by the

year and sportsmen have had no Diff
f1culty in securing their quota.
I'm view Of the unusual number Of
these birds reported, hunters and
guides have been especially eau
toned to bear in mind the new
regulations of the partridge law
those providing that not more than
% cartridges can be killed by one
person in one season. The amend
ment of the federal regulations was
promulgated with view Of putting
an end to the abuse Of privileges un-
der the regulations regarding the
prescribed daily bag limits of per-
sons who claim that birds were killed
by guides employed by them.
1.-THE federal amendment materi-
ally reduces the number of certain
birds which a sportsman and his
guide can kill or have in possession
in one day in Maine. Take wood
cock. for instance; under the Maine
law. the party bag might be six
each-the sport six and the guide six
in one day. Under the amended fed
eral law only six woodcock in all
could be killed by the sport and his
guide, or only three birds each.
. Ducks
Ducks were never so plentiful
within the recollection of many old
hunters in the Merrymeeting Bay re-
gion, the great duck grounds of the
East, as they were at the beginning
of the season this year, and with the
exception of a few over-enthusiastic
hunters. who the first day or so of
the open season began shooting be-
fore the hour permitted, the laws
have been well observed.
Association Cooperation
''rhe various local fish and game
associations and clubs have contin-
ued to cooperate with the depart
men to the fullest extent during the
past year, and am pleased to note
that during the past two weeks the
organization of two additional asso-
Citations have been reported, one in
Penobscot and the other in Knox
county. Among the special purposes
of the former association is cooper
alton with state and national fish and
game officials.
LAS showing the interest taken in
the protection of fish and game by
one of these associations, it may be
interesting to the public to know
that the entire membership of the
game enforcement committee Of that
association clothed without pay
wardens' commissions by the COM
missioner. These men all served
without pay, experimenting violators
wherever they came across any, re-
ceiving pay in such cases in the form
of legal fees to which they are en-
titled to be paid by the court out of
the fines paid by the violators.
Il have devoted much time this
year to inspection and repair of
tishways and the installation of
screens. OF the larger screens pro-
vided by special appropriation at the
last session of the legislature, that
on the outlet of Eagle Lake, Aroos-
took county, has been completed and
is generally conceded to be one Of the
finest fish screens in New England.
Work has already begun in the
installation of a screen, funds for
which were also provided by an act
of the last legislature, on the outlet
of Grand Lake. in Washington
county.
THE screen at the outlet OF Lake
Cobbosseecontee has recently been
repaired in a most substantial man
ner.

WHY THEY DO 1T.
A moralist declares that II he
could run a beauty parlor he could
enhance the spiritual grace Of all
women who patronized him.
When Dolly gets her lip stick out
And with a dainty touch
Accentuates the little pout
That folks admire 50 much.
And cast a soft approving glance
Upon her pretty face
She merely does il TO enhance
Her spiritual grace.
When Dolly gives her dimpling
cheeks
The color Of the rose,
And with a dab OF powder streaks
The apex Of her nose.
And sticks a tiny plaster pad
Upon a timer mole,
Her actions only serve 10 add
A glory 10 her soul.
When Dolly artfully has made
Her wealth of wavy hair
A lighter and a lovlier shade
Than that she used 10 wear.
And twines her glossy locks around
The tongs, TO make EN- curl
There is no doubt that she IS bound
To be a better girl.
For inward grace with beauty grows
The moralists declare.
And that is why she dabs her nose
And tints her cheeks and hair,
For maids their beauties 70 conceal
They say is most unfit
And yet their words do not appeal
To Dolly's ma a bit.
