The Burkeymen are playing good
ball this year and have won their
share of games against stiff opposi-
tion. Good team work on the part
of the Bluffton players will make the
coming game a highly entertaining
performance.
Pistol and Rife Demonstration
As an added feature an unusual
attraction will be offered the crowd
with the presenting of an exhibition
of fancy pistol and rifle work by
Ralph S. Marshall, former sheriff of
Allen County.
Marshall is we'll known in sporting
circles for his ability with these
weapons. In previous exhibitions be-
fore the Cleveland Sportsmen's Con-
gress he demonstrated before capa-
city audiences. In previous years
this expert was a member of the
United States Olympic team to
Germany.
Marshall's routine includes the
shooting of cigarettes from the
mouth of his accomplice, the shooting
of two balloons simultaneously from
his confederates ears with brace
of pistols, and fancy shooting at
moving targets. The presentation
will appear between halves at the
game.

birds, so / shall for the present dis
miss the summer birs by saying that
success with winter birds ac-
companied by ample food plants and
shelter will usually result in an
interesting assortment of birds dur
ing the summer.
How Attract Birds
One of the most fascinating
methods of attracting birds is
through the medium of feeding.
Birds respond very quickly to this
gesture of friendship and many soon

This monthly conservation maga-
zine is really a bargain at so cents
year, and as you outdoorsmen and
women renew your memberships,
include the additional amount for
the magazine subscription. 1t is
packed full of intensely interesting
articles on outdoor activity-the kind
you like, for the stories deal with
the fun to be had in our area.
Last week we urged the public to
join the sportsmen's club, take the
place of the boys now in the army,
and support his interest in the con-
servation program of our community.
Now this week we have one of our
members suggesting and acting on
new plan. Amos Klingler in
Orange township says that we should
act as big brother to our boys in
the service and keep their member
ships paid for them. Amos says
these boys are eager to get the cards
and literature we mail out from
time to time to the current members.
We should pick out a friend, pay his
dollar dues for him and he will be
greatly pleased at our thoughtful
ness. With the submitting of the
idea Amos handed over a dollar and
renewed the membership for Carl
Marshall, stationed at Camp Gordon
Johnson, Florida. Why not follow
the example set by Amos? Go a
step farther and subscribe to the
Conservation Bulletin for him-he
will like it!
Edwin Amstutz had the pleasure
of dining on elk and venison at the
home of Amos Amstutz in Silver
ton, Oregon. Edwin has just re-
turned from a two weeks trip TO
the west and informed us that
Arthur Amstutz, the son of Amos,
on trip to the mountains after big
game succeeded in downing an elk
and deer which dressed down to 200
pounds of meat! The meat is stored
in a locker and comes in mighty
handy these meat rationed days,
Edwin stated.
Arthur enjoyed excellent hunting
during the hunting trip and despite
the fact it showed and sleeted was
able to bag the game and drag it
liz miles down the snow covered
mountain with the aid of companions
to point where he could haul it
home.
