the, par must be made in comparative
play in foursome after the opening
of the new course. Both of these
foregone allegations may be without
foundation, but at least there is that
talk, which may be of some help in
establishing their validity.
The course, one of the best in the
state and perhaps the finest in south
western Minnesota, is in the act of
recovering for a semi-complete trans
formation. Work on the new Num-
Der 6, z, and 9 holes has been start
cd and will be completed within 80
days or thereabouts. A new lawn
mower, especially constructed for
ground work around the playing
greens and tees has been added to
the club equipment. New tees are
being constructed for each hole and
while these are under construction
players are requested to refrain from
using them until all are completed;
with similar request regarding the
new holes.
The committee appointed to make
the collection of dues is now on the
job working in cooperation with the
committee to sell the few remaining
shares of stock.

THREE CHANGES IN
FISH LAWS FOR '29
Fish Under Legal Size Must be
Kept if Caught And
Seriously Hooked.

Three major changes are noted in
the 1929 fishing laws as approved by
the state legislature, according to
]. Albert Johnson, game warden.
One of these is a limiting of the
6aily catch of perch to twenty-five
yer person. Until this year there has
been no limit to the number a fish
erman might catch.
The second changed the daily
init of pickerel from fifteen, pre-
viously the limit, to ten per person
er day, while the third change is
hat all under-size fish, which when
caught are damaged to such an ex-
tent that it is probable they will
die, shall be kept and counted to-
ward the daily limit. Fish under le-
gal size which are caught but are
OF seriously injured by the hook
re to be returned to the water.
Another minor change is that re-
sidents who are eighteen years old
are required to take licenses. Pre-
viously twenty-one was the age limit.
This change refers to family licenses
and it is now necessary to include all
] members eighteen years Of age.
