Pelt Sale Brings
Sportsmen 81 400;
Work of Club Told

A public sale was held by the local
section of the American Sportsmen's
Protective association Saturday after
noon at o'clock at the Butler and
Warner blacksmith shop, corner CT
South Sixth and y streets. Over
$1,000 was cleared on the sale. All
persons having pelts for sale were
members of the association.
The organization is made up of en-
thusiastic hunters throughout and q
few outside of Wayne county. The
club has been organized for two years,
the purpose being mostly to protect
the dogs of the members and to bring
the hunters together There are about
so members, and about two-thirds OF
these are farmers. Robert E. Graham
is the local director
One feature of the club is to locate
lost dogs. When a man becomes a
member. the ear of his dog is tat
tooed, thus giving perfect means o.
Identification. Each dog has a mum
Der and a description card. ManN
dogs have been found this way anf
have been returned to their owners
Stand Against Loss
Another feature is the agreement
uulOu6 ulcIllUeIS Vi the CluD JldJ ii
any damage is done to anything on a
farm that some of the members have
been hunting on, they will stand good
for the loss. Formerly, many farmers
would not allow hunting on theil
farms because strange hunters would
go on the farms, kill some of the live
stock and then never stand good fol
the damage done. This protects the
farmers from loss from stray bullets
The members of the organization
are now fighting law that has beer
recommended by the governor, pro
hibiting all night hunting. If nigh
hunting were abolished, this would
give trappers a chance to catch al
the game, while the men owning dog:
could not use them in the daytime.
A econ supper has been planned fo1
some time about the first of the year
The association now has Is raccoons
in cold storage, ready for the supper
A suggestion now pending befor,
the association is the establishment
of breeding farms throughout tn,
county. This would serve to preserve
the game.
The club meets the first Tuesda.
night of each month, in the l. o. o. F
hall.
