CHICKEN AND DUCK
!: SEASON IS NEAR
SMALL GAME SEASON OPENS
FRIDAY, SEPT. 16-aAME
IS PLENTIFUL

Small game hunting season opens on
Friday, September 16, and from present
indications, there will be great exodus
Of sportsmen to the fields in. quest of
the coveted prairie chickens. Duck
season opens on the same day but is not
likely to attract so many hunters at the
start as duck season continues until
December 81, whereas chicken season
lasts only until October /.
Reports are that the chickens are
plentiful this season. There was a
closed season last year on chickens and
that no doubt is largely responsible for
the abundance of birds Of that species
this fall.
County Auditor McNairy has re-
ceived supply Of small game licenses
and will start issuing them the first of
next week.
Hunters are reminded that the law
fixes 'the daily bag limit of prairie
chickens at 9 per day; Is for the sea-
son and on ducks Is per day and As
in possession.

School enrolment in the Little Falls
public schools this year is larger for the
first week than it was last year, there
being 11O3 pupils enrolled in the grades

last year.
The high school enrolment is ex-
ceedingly large this year, due perhaps
to the increase III attendance from the
rural districts. Supt. Bergquist looks
for the high school enrolment to reach
the 400 mark this term as compared
with 365 last year. The high school
building is crowded and in order to &C.
commodate all the pupils in the assem-
bly, room at once, it is necessary to put
two at some Of the desks.

Washington, d. c., May 1s.-Emcrg-

reached an agreement on the emers-
ency measure and a joint resolution
was reached in the house to make all
rates carried in the forthcoming per
manent schedules effective from the
date the bill is introduced in the house.
Tho house managers accepted several
changes in the anti-dumpinE section
of the emergency tariff with the period
Of federal control of dye importations
