Hundreds of letters have been re-
ceived by the Governor and the
State Game and Fish Commissioner
asking the closing of the hunting
season this year on big game. AS
an alternative request, closing the
season as it relates to does and
fawns is asked, thus putting the
state in the zone buck" class. The
notable part of the request is that
outside of Itasca County, all those
signing the requests are living in
counties in which there is no big
game hunting. Another one OF
these tonnage tax" measures, so to
speak.
We are not of the bloodthirsty
class and don't care whether or not
the season is closed or restricted.
We like the sport of hunting and
have hundreds of friends who also
like the vacation trips into the
woods with gun in quest OF big
game. We most strenuously object
to having the huntless counties tell
us how to conduct our county in re-
CARDS to hunting however.
In last weeks Miner we gave
solution to the hunting question and
showed that if the laws relating to
the issuance of hunting licenses are
obeyed this year there will be no
necessity for closing the season.
We showed that if those not entitled
to licenses by reason of having not
conformed with the law in 'he mat
ter of reporting as provided, are
prevented from hunting and refused
a license, there will be only small
amount of big game killed.
The figures show that out of ap-
proximately 10000 licenses issued
in the state the last hunting season
only about 10000 reported leaving
$4,000 or more fiat and cold and to
whom no licenses can be issued this
year according to law. In st. Louis
County alone there are 9,424 who
cannot get licenses as out of 1913
licenses issued, only 1859 took the
trouble to obey the law. While this
will deprive the state of some
license money, it would also deprive
$4,000 or more from getting in
to the woods and thus cut down the
chances of exterr1inating the de.
and moose a considerable extent, in
fact it would cut their chances down
tc the minimum.
However, Commissioner Gould
would like to hear from as many
sportsmen (not sports) as possible
in this regard and we hope all will
avail themselves of this opportunity
to express their opinions. Write
him and tell him what you think.

ing to the Tower News which says:
"A property owner who has here
tofore had trouble with cattle break
ing into his yard has concocted a
mixture of Paris green and bran
and sets a pailful of it out in a
convenient place in his yard each
right before retiring. The idea
might be tried by Others" The
cow is not to blame and the remedy
may be little drastic, but surely
effective. If the owner could be
made to eat the bran considerable
responsibility would be taken from
the COW.

Experts Answer Au Queries
Regarding Ne,U Balloon Tires
Cotecl,isn' of Larger Cards Published by
Goodrich Company Satisfies Curl
osity of Majority OF Motorists.

So many questions are being asked
cords, there is so much uncertainty
in the kind of responses they get.
that experts of the r. F Goodrich
Rubber Company have issued guide
book which could we'll be termed the
Balloon Cord CaterhiSln. 1t sets forth
clearly the proper answers to most
of the questions which car owners
are asking
Without seeking TO ovrr&i:;te the
advantages of the balloon cod. or To
promise things for il which a"r not
as yet justified by the facts - per
formance and experience, il gives
direct replies to most Of the question
marks in the minds of the public
The Goodrich catechisIl on th" bal
loon cord is as follows:
l. DO balloon tires help riding
qualities? Yes. This is one of their
main features Because of their
larger cross section and low air pres
sure, balloon tires absorb irrrgulari
ties in the road from which high
pressure tires have To rebound. The
and projections in the road are OBJ
liberated as far as the occupants of
balloon tired cars are concerned
. DO balloon tires reduce repair
bills for the maintenance OF III" car?
Yes, due to :hr greater cushion ma
effect of balloon tires there is less
vibration of the car, which eliminates
