and all Of the nimrods are taking
nice bags, rabbits and quail being
plentiful. Some of the smaller lakes
in the northern part Of the state

ice will have their innings. the
wardens report.

If every man who takes a gun
afield would observe the American
sportsmen'S creed, it would help the
sport. The creed follows:
Never in sport endanger human
life.
Never kill wantonly, needlessly or
brutally.
Obey the laws of state and ma
ton. work for better laws and up
hold the law enforcing authorities.
Respect the rights of farmers and
property owners and also their feel
ingS.
Always leave seed birds and game
in cover.
Never be a fish hog.
Discourage the killing of game for
commercial purposes by refusing to
buy trophies.
Study and record the natural his
tory of game species in the interest
of science.
Love nature and its denizens and
be a gentleman.

Indianapolis Gun Club took to the
field, so there was no shooting at
the club" he writes. Il did so my
self. I went in the field at seven
and quit at GAS, having made six
shots and bagging five rabbits.
1t was a delightful mornings shoot

fellow who comes along over the
