Game Birds Should Be
Fed These Cold Months,

January and February being zero
months" officials of the American Game
Association urge all sportsmen, con-
servationists and other nature lovers
to redouble their efforts to feed wild
life. Feeding during zero months often
means the difference between dead birds

breeding, experience has shown.
Sportsmen throughout the country
particularly in the heavy snow belt

SO vast that great deal more of such
feeding is necessary, consevationists
point out.
There are two great dangers threaten
ing wild birds during the heavy SHOWS.
Strange as it may seem, seldom does
one freeze to death in the most severe
weather-they starve to death or else
become so weak that they are an easy
prey to predators that ordinarily they
can easily escape.

DON'T like
THE Effort
Two Harbors and Lake County
Not Exactly in Touch With
Park Scheme.

The efforts being put forth by the
Quetico-Superior Council to make a
park Of the entire northern end of the
state and way up into Canada, is not
meeting with the whole -souled support
of the people of Lake County The Two
Harbors Chronicle is not for the scheme
as can be clearly taken from the item
published in the Chronicle last week by
Editor Morrison who said:
Lake county's veteran volunteer ad-
ministrator, Ernest C. Oberhohzer, of
Rainier, perniciously familiar as presi-
dent of the Quetico-Superior Council,
which is largely composed of himself,
has another grand idea for the further
partition of the county, it is reported,
in the establishment of an international
forest to contain 100000 acres in
commemoration of Canadian and
American soldiers of the World war
1T is understood the plan would be
to separate from Lake county forever
almost if not all of that section lying
north of the Superior National Forest
Reserve. The plan is reported in dis
patches to have gone far enough that
''it is being considered by conserva-
tioniStS Of both countries"
Another old Lake county manager,
the Minnesota Izaak Walton League, is
also reported in on the plan. The likes
have repeatedly shown a desire to build
a fence around Two Harbors, running
from the overhead bridge to the fair
grounds and declare all beyond its
confines buffalo country.
1T appears also that some conserva-
ton riders in the state department of
the American Legion have also declared
themselves in on the project.
The sponsors were to meet in Min
neapolis today to see what they could
do toward rallying a mob behind the
movement.
