LIST to January 18th, inclusive, with
the further provise in the Federal reg
ulations that no person shall hunt
jacksnipe before IL o'clock noon on
the first day of the open season. Bag
limit: 20 per day.
The Clerks of the Circuit Courts
have been busy during August selling
hunters licenses as the law provides
that every person who hunts on prop
erty not owned or tenanted by him,
unless he be the child of said owner
or tenant, shall first procure hunt
er's license from the Clerk of the
Circuit Court of the County of his
residence or the Clerk of the Court of
Common Pleas, Baltimore City. Buy
your license now and have it ready
when the open season arrives.
The law requires every person to
have hunters license in possession

outer garment between shoulders. The
State Game Department has distribut-
ed in the covers, for the benefit of the
hunters and for propagation purposes,
this season, thousands of bob-white,
chinese and r1utant pheasants, wild
turkey, and game Of all species is re-
ported plentiful throughout the State.
At present, due to lack of rainfall,
the forest areas of our State are in
danger of that great red menace, the
fire! Reports are to the effect that
many of the forest fires occurring in
our State have been traced to motor
lists throwing lighted matches, cigars
or cigarettes and live Goals from pipes
to the sides of the roads and such &C
ton on your part during dry seasons
is very detrimental to our forests.
Therefore, we request that you be
careful and do not, thru your careless
ness, burn the cover and food of wild
life which furnishes so much benefic-
ial recreation as well offer such excel
lent protection to the farmers crops.

Baby kangaroos born here this

best stock spectators have felt since
1929.
At first, the little kangaroo lives in
a pouch on its mothers front. Just
below the forelegs. As time passes,
the baby gets bigger, the pouch does
not, and finally the kangaroo baby
finds that he can no longer climb into
the pouch. His struggles are pathetic,
something like Spectator trying to
even up.
Finally he decides to be kangaroo

must do the same.

last few hundred meters that the pow
erful, deep-lunged Italians forged
ahead, each man carrying on his
chest the coIors of Italy. 1t seemed
certain that Italy would win in the
country that an italian discovered.
But in boat number two. eight young
athletes, with the United States shield
on their chests, had made different
plans. A small man at the far end Of
the boat, megaphone strapped to his
mouth, called on every divinity from
Moloch on to punish his men, II they
