Duck Hunters Get
3O-Day Season With
Rigid Regulations

Duck hunters will have 80 days
for shooting this fall, but they
will hunt in accordance with the
most rigid regulations in the his
tory of American wildfowling.
Shooting over baited water or
land, which has furnished the
heaviest toll from all species and
accounted for the most consistent
full bag limits, will be prohibited.
Live decoys, one of the most eff
fective methods of Turing the
migratory flock to the blind, are
also ruled out. None will be al
lowed.
Zoning of states by seasons will
be eliminated, and there will be
only two zones, northern and
southern. October 81 will be the
opening date in northern states.
Shooting will be restricted to
the hours between Z a. m. and p.
m. Some bag limits have been re-
duced. The possession of more
than one days bag has been made
illegal.
The three-shell limit placed on
auto-loading and repeating shot
guns last February will take eff
feet for the first time this fall,
and the new regulations provide
that hunters may use a shotgun
only, not larger that 10 gauge.

Makes Diving
Helmet From
Old Metal Scraps

New Prsgue-Scraps of metal
gathered from a foundry in New
Prague formed the basis for div
ing helmet made by Glenn Marek,
in which he is exploring the bot
toms of nearby lakes. The appar-
atus weighs about 60 pounds and
is fitted with windshield glass to
provide vision. A line such as is
used in acetylene welding is fitted
to the helmet to provide air and
the diver may stay under water
any length Of time, so long as the
air pump is kept working from the
surface. Although the air line
permits exploring to a depth of
80 feet, Glenn has found that at a
depth of Is feet he usually sinks
hip deep in mud and therefore has
not attempted excursions into
deeper water. The helmet is not
heavy under water, and permits
freedom Of movement. Glenn
states that visibility under water
is best at noon, when the suns
rays strike directly down.

Turkey Farm to
Have 1000 Birds

Preston-The Rex Turkey farm
at Carimona. operated by the
Spies Milling company of Preston
and Melvin Benson of Lanesboro,
and under the supervision of I. w.
Smith of Preston, now boasts L.
963 birds. A number of the tur-
kers weigh nine pounds, in spite
of the fact that they are only
eleven weeks old, and promise TO
be "some birds" by Thanksgiving.
In the near future 1900 more tur-
keys which Mr.. Benson has al
most far enough along to let out,
will be placed on the farm, in
almost 1000. 1t may seem lit
creasing the total population to
tie early, but some one has got to
remember that Thanksgiving
comes every year!

Lightning Rips Up
Paper without. a Burn

Browerville = Lightning, the
most prankist force of nature, had
little fun with the family of
James Mcdonald, near Brewer
vile, when it raced from room to
room,~ knocking plaster off in each,
and then tore a newspaper lying
on the floor into ribbons without
burning it in the least. The bolt
struck a chimney while the family
were sitting at the dinner table,
demolishing it and another chin
ney, and tore a hole through the
siding at the front of the house.
Mr.. Mcdonald, who had started
out of doors and had his hand
against a screen door, received a
severe shock, affecting his right
arm; Mrs. Mcdonald felt the
shock in her neck; and the daugh-
ter was momentarily blinded by
the bolt. All recovered quickly.
Plaster was knocked off the walls
and ceiling of each room as the
lightning raced about the house.
The newspaper on the floor was
completely riddled and torn into
strips, but had not the slightest
mark of a burn on it.

WPA REGULATIONS
GIVEN OFFICIALS
AT MEETING HERE
GlOtzbach And Curry Speak
Of Requirements; Urge
Speed On Requests

Village, township and school Of
ficials representing most sections
of Redwood county were instruc-
ted to get their WPA projects
proposals into st. Paul headquar-
tiers as soon as possible and TO 'be
reasonable" by L. c. Glotzbach,
district director and E. B. Curry,
district engineer, at meeting in
the city hall here Monday after
noon.
While not an absolute deadline,
August Is was the date set for a
majority of projects. Others for
which plans and specifications
cannot be gotten on such short no
tice or where bond issued are in
volved should be submitted as
soon as possible.
Asked whether the government
will pay for materials as well as
labor, the WPA officers stated
that the government will help in
some instances but that where
communities are fully able to sup
ply materials or pay other costs
in connection with projects, they
will be expected to do so, the idea
Of the program being TO put as
many men to work as possible.
The program is to take all men
able to work off the relief rolls
and give them employment on a
basis of $40 per month GAO
hours) for unskilled workmen and
up to $50 per month for skilled.
Semi-skilled men will be paid ac-
cording to a scale between these
figures.
For unskilled men, this amounts
to $3.50 per man-year, the princi-
pal consideration in approving
projects. In general, material and
supervision costs will be kept
close to figure which will make
it possible to employ each un-
skilled man one year for $500, al
though where projects are approx
ed in which material and super
vision costs run below this figure,
it will be possible to approve pro-
jects which do not approximate
safes the other.
Points concerning several pro-
jects were discussed, one being an
addition to the Wabasso school
and another, a proposed gymnas-
ium and auditorium at Sanborn.
Representatives of both places
were told to submit information
on blanks furnished by George
Matson, engineer of the Redwood
Falls area. Committees having
ERA projects not completed when
the work was halted were advised
to submit them to WPA for COM
pletion.
1t was revealed that Redwood
county has not a single carpen-
ter or carpenters helper on relief,
which at the present time would
stand in the way of building con-
struction projects although when
private projects slow up this fall,
II is probable that some will be
available.
Ali projects costing less than
$4,000 are under jurisdiction of
WPA while those costing more
than $4,000 are under PWA
which is an entirely separate
agency. To rush WPA work pro-
jects should be submitted to ST.
Paul rather than the New Ulm
office as previously announced.

Stroud's drive hit the carpet of the

cup without the flag being lifted.
George Trent, club manager, was
standing at the clubhouse and wit

used spoon for the drive. AS far
as is known, Trent states, it is the
first act carded on the Brainerd

SAVE
TRAPPED BOYS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. UD -
Three small boys were rescued by
police and firemen today from the
precipitous face of 300 foot cliff
after they had clung to ledge for
two hours. They were badly fright
ened but uninjured.
The boys were Robert Ellis, 8, OF
San Mateo; Robert Jeanette, IL,
and Clarence Bord, IL.
They had been playing at the
brink of the cliff bordering the
Arroyo Seco when they tried the
descent. They reached a ledge
midway and found they could
neither descend nor return.
Their screams for help brought
Patrolmen c. w. MCGEE and A. A.
Shirley who called a crew of fire
men. A 300-foot rope was dropped
to the riyerbed and firemen climbed
it, carrying the boys down one by
one.
