The first agreement of its kind
ever entered into by the United
States bureau Of fisheries has been
made between that department and
the Three Rivers Game and Fish
Protective Association. The con.
tract provides that for y ten year
period. beginning In 1928. the gov.

FIRST DOLLAR DAY TO Be
HELD IN MONTE WEDNESDAY

One OF the biggest days for the
shopper will be Wednesday of next
week, February 2S. which has been
chosen by the merchants of Monte
Vista as Dollar Day. The stores are
cooperating and each is offering
few specials at dollar which are
money savers. There is not a per-
son In the community of Monte
Vista and the neighboring towns who
can afford to miss this event
Instead of having dollar day once
year and offering large amount
OF merchandise for dollar, the
merchants are only offering a few
special articles to the buyers and
will have dollar day at frequent in
tervals. In this way the people will
have a chance from time to time to
replenish their needs at a saving.
The idea has been tried success
fully In many places and is rapidly
taking the place OF the once a year
dollar day in which the shopper was
bewildered At the many things Of
fered and did not know what to buy.
The business men In Monte Vista
believe that the general public will

they would with one which came
