The word has gone out from the

Red Banagan at Columbia, but it
doesn't look too good for late in the

Il seem to have enough golf balls
to last out this year, by spreading
them thin" said George Diffen-

tight squeeze. There Is q loss of 10
per cent or more in rebuilding golf
balls. Maybe we'll have enough, but

With BILL ACKERMAN.

In January during the 1912 season,
which made a season of nearly 10
days. Hunting was good, all the
most difficult to please could ask
for, yet now the demand is for at
least Is days more of January
shooting. 1t will not be allowed.
DR.. Ira N. Gabrielson, director
of the service, is the authority for
that although he has liberalized
last years regulations considerably.
This liberalization probably will
be in the size of the bag limits on
the restricted species. The canvas
back, which has increased during
the last three years until now there
no longer is any chance Of the ex-
tinction Of the species, proves the
value Of control. There was little
last year about which hunters hon.
estly could complain. There will be
less in the coming season. The
real worry is whether there will
be shells enough to garner the
greatest crop of wild waterfowl we
ever have known.
