IN WEST VIRGINIA the season al
ready has come and gone, and
with fairly good results from the
point of the hunter In spite of a
four-day season, about 200 were
bagged in the three counties in which
shooting was permitted. Although no
quotations are available. undoubtedly
the taxidermists are doing a land
office business mounting many
pronged heads as mementos of sue
cessful trips into the hills. Later
on this year these same heads will
be pointed to with pride as garrulous
hunters recount tales of the super
human endurance and Indian-like
strategy they resorted to so they could
come within striking distance of that
16-pointer up there.
As only 128 deer were stocked
this year and zoo killed. it would
seem that the Conservation
Commission is short 72.
So the season hardly can be looked
upon by the commission as a sue
cess, especially as 2s deer were taken
illegally. These same illegal deer,
many Of them fawns, we're impounded
and given to State and private in
stitutions, and the sick and needy
had venison for Thanksgiving dinner.
The commission really Is trying to
make West Virginia a good deer
country. For next years stocking 100
have been ordered, and these, to-
gether with those fawned in the
Spring, just about will bring the
Whitehall population up to par. H.
w. Shawhan. director of the commits
sion, says, however. that the killing
of does and fawns has hampered the

In California. Further than this, We
believe that a conference between

slow up the play"
Since golf became a game, and not
shiny argument between Scottish
shepherds, solicitation of advice from

as legal. At any big tournament you
can see q player and his caddie 60 into
a huddle on an important shot, on the
general theory that the caddie Is sup
posed to know all about the shot, and
that two heads are better than one.
Why any good golfer takes advice
from caddie who frequently doesn't
know anything about the making of
the shot is beyond us, but it Is done
and done often. OF course the custom
grew up in Britain, where the caddies
often are good golfers and sometimes
know far more about the game than
