Ruffed Grouse and Pheasants:. Pc- Through a friend of mine I learned of a bankrupt stock for sale. I im mediately bought this stock at a very low price which will enable me to sell far below the market. When I was looking over the stock and noticed how clean it was and how cheaply it could be bought I thanked my old friend for putting me wise. Now I wonder if you will ac cept the same adyice and save yourself some money. from the front door to the back and from the floor to the ceiling. I must sell at least half this enormous stock so that I may have room to turn around, because in a few days a heating stove will have to be put up and that takes considerable room. The bankrupt stock consists of 250 men's suits worth from $25 to $50. I am selling them at half price. Also 50 boys' suits, 2 pair pants? high grade merchandise but will go at low price. These suits were $14.75 to $20.00, now selling at $8.75 to $12.50. v One pair pants suits for $5.00. 75 ladies' coats now going at half price. Excellent material and of latest styles. 100 Lumber jacks, best yet. re $7.50 to $9.75, to go at $4.95. Sweaters, hosiery, coats, underwear and shoes for all the family. Men, don't miss this: Roomy Richard shirts, worth $1.00, now 75 cents. 400 Odd pants from suits that sold up to $40. These pants a treat for you at $4.95 to $6.75. 300 Pairs of blankets andWrcKm They are now in the basement. Will get them up when you want a pair. Do not think for a moment that because I am selling a bankrupt stock the goods are shod dy. Of course I have some cheap goods as well as the best and you can get any kind at my store. But the fact I wish to put over is that my prices on any kind of merchandise is lower than the lowest. Let me prove it. JOE ASHEAR Marrh 1 all kind- A. Limit in , 25 in one (!:i.

Forest Fire Prevention It is unlawful to let fire outin North Carolina fields and forests. Please make more game by prevent ing forest fires. The state game law was enacted by the 1927 general assembly for the benefit" of all the people of North Carolina. This law and the regula tions to be issued thereunder will be for the protection of -certain birds and animals which are classified. Un W tlir PiisrlicVi law from the beein- ning to tne present lime an game is the property of the king. ' In North Carolina the 1 sovereignty- is vested in the people and our supreme court has declared that game .birds and, animals are the property of all the people of North Carolina. ; Our state is one of the. last in the United States to pass - . ., , a statewide measure protecting game. Tjwn(fimm,oflfnr,Sf,,nfniiay"' be enjoyed by the greatest number on equal terms. Need For Game Protection In order to have game, practical wpt Stock Arrived, conservation methods are necessary. Wild life conservation must be co:i ' ducted tr. a busi-.ess-likc manner over a term of years. Business practices are essential. We must have a cm prehensive knowledge of past, present and possible future conditions of garj.e birds and animals and their natural haunts and living places. We must consider such items as forest growth, forest fire prevention methods, dif ferent types of vegetation, rainfall, stream flow, location and endurance of lakesandother factors?' which af fect game, including changes in agri cultural and industrial conditions. A first essential for game conserva tion is a proper program and definite policy. Our program for game con scrvation will be briefly .as follows : (1) Education as to the importance of game conservation. (2) Reasonable and proper enforcemeut of our game and fish laws.' The support of the citizens of North Carolina masi be obtained to carry out this program. Education The success of our state game law is largely a matter of education. This, education will be helped by lec tures, pamphlets, leaflets, newspapers, public schools, and by use of the radio, but its main success depends upon alert, trained game wardens in the field qualified to support all edu cational activities by a .proper . exer cise pf law enforcement. We desire to impress you with the fact that our game and fish laws were passed to secure benefit to all our people. They were not passed for the purpose of imposition, per secution,, personal advantage or profit in any form, and we will not permit our officers to use their postions for the purpose of forcing dollars from the pockets of anyone, or for any purpose other than strictls game ami wild bird protection and increase. Violations of Hunting Law Depredation: Birds and animals committing depredations may be kill ed or taken while committing or about to commit such depredations. This exception will not be used as an ex cuse for killing game, birds and ani mals. Game protectors should' in vestigate carefully all such cases and warn the people as to the exact meaning of this section. No. licenses are required from the following: The resident , landownc; to hunt on his own land, the mem bers of his family under sixteen year of age, lessees or tenants in posses-. MOll. Ol llll:. frti.ul ou hiiitit ui-j..-.iriv ..if. particular farm or part of . a farm actually rented and tended, for crops. Licenseis required by . tenants to hunt on any other land even if a part of the same farm. Vermin Dogs, cats, crows, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned hawks are some of the natural enemies of game bird and game animal life. This department has nothing to do with the admin istration and enforcement. of the state dog law. Tax'es on dogs are collected by the county sheriffs and paid into the county school fund. It is prob able that only a small per cent of the dogs are taxed. The remainder arc outlaws and a nuisance. The only duty of game protectors will be to explain to the people how" destructive dogs arc' of game life and secure their co-operation in limiting the number of those which are not taxed. The pub lic school authorities in each county and the sheriffs: are the ones to get behind the enforcement of the dog law. Game protectors should provide themselves with shot guns and carry these guns while on duty. County wardens are charged with the responsibility of paying off the claimants for their bounties, on forms to be furnished. Each claimant will certify to the county warden the number of outlawed birds and wild cats killed by him, which account the warden will verify by a personal view of the birds' heads or cats' heads. The warden will then certify the amount due the claimant, to whom HUNGRY? We can promptly attend to that "Hungry Feeling." Arnold's Cafe on PUBLIC SQUARE ESSIG MARKET H. O. ESSIG, Prop.
