HUNTERS PREPARE
FOR OPENING OF
HUNTING SEASON

Bang. The first gun of the duck
hunting season will be fired Sept.
16. The duck hunting season closes
Dec. 20. Huntsmen are hardening
to the news leaking out of the north
woods to the effect that all indica-
tions are for a great hunting sea-
son this fall.
An unusually large flight is fore
cast by the woodsmen who say con-
ditions are ripe for big bags. There
are said to be more ducks this year
than in any of the last six years.
Men returning from canoe trips in
the rivers of the northern woods re-
port it is no longer unusual fire.
quently to see brood of ducklings,
and as many as Is families are en-
countered in an hour along the
river.
The United States Canada Joint
hunting laws passed in 1915 are
credited by woodsmen for the large
number of ducks. The ducks have
been unmolested in their breeding
seasons and the effect of the law is
now starting to be felt, it is as
serted. The new law requiring all
men carrying guns to be licensed
is also a big factor in preventing
out OF season shooting, it is be-
lieVed.

theatre last night, under Rosen-
field, Hopp & Co. management, II
was not apparent, and II some were
tfmorous about getting wet and
stayed at home, IL was probabiy
providential occurrence for the
management, as every avaiiaDle
seat was occupied during the nrst
show, and by O'Clock there was
line Of waiting fans reaching from
the playhouse on Eighteenth street
extending almost to Second ave-
nue..
Jimmy Hodges and his company
OF % people, in "All Aboard for
Cuba." were well worth waiting
for. Don tanning in the leading
role of Johnnie Smith, won many
plaudits, and others in the musical
comedy came in for their full need
of first-night honors. Conway Tearle
in "The Fighter" was the photoplay
attraction.
The color scheme of old rose and
gray in the decorations of the re-
modelled Majestic is very good, and
the seating arrangement is excel
lent. There will be change OF

company appear in pretty Baby"

condition of the landing ought TO be
that any person who has not COM

seven years should be Immediately
subject to arrest and deportation at
the expiration of that period.
