OUR o-UTDooRsMAN SAYS:

the hunting season next saturday?
If not, get ready during the coming
week. Do not put this all-important
matter off until the last minute be-
cause If you do, sooner or later you
are going to be disappointed by find
ing that you have left some impor-
tant part of your equipment behind.
The way to be sure of enjoying your
trip is to prepare for it in a method
ical and orderly manner for half the
enjoyment of hunting lies in the
preparation and anticipation OF it.
During the coming week look over
your hunting toys; clean and oil
your gum; have your boots repaired
If necessary; buy you shells and at
tend to the score of little things that
d to the pleasure of a day in the
open. Unless you do this Saturday
morning may find you unprepared
and in the hurry something essen
tial will surely be forgotten.
TRESPASSING
Next Saturday when the general
hunting season opens the law that
will give the sportsman the most
concern is the trespass law. If this
law is enforced, as it probably will
be in many localities, the hunter who
has not made himself familiar with
its provisions will be very apt to
find himself in trouble. For the
benefit of those who have had an
opportunity to read and study this
law we are printing it in full.
