deer mr. editor:
1 seat myself to rite you a few
lines about the game laws of Our
state, which 1 think is unfair to the
' poor man. they keep him from
hunting rabbits and other necessi
ties excepp when he possibly dots
not need same onner count of other
crops coming In at that time for
him to live on.

dog. If partridges Is scarce, 1 hunt
rabbits with him. the first few birds
he set when going out usually turns
out to be a rat or a bug or a grass
hopper, but he does better as soon
as he gets warmed up.
we have too much law for the
poor man and i think hunting
should be allowed on all kinds of
game until the repuglicans gets out
of offls and then a poor man can
make an honest livving and let wild
animals alone, i have benn think
ing of getting rid of 4 or 5 of -rv
best dogs, as they do not serve me
no good purpose with a game war
den snooking around all the time.
i have a fine gun which has benn
handed down to me by my ances
tors. and it will shoot further and
quicker than anny other fire arm
around here, but what good does a
gun do a man if he can't shoot it
at nothing excepp on 1 day in nov
ember and 3 days in deccmber,
about 4 days in October at doves
ansoforth, which fly so fast they
can not be hit and It Is a loss of
monney to shoot at them.
rite or foam me at once and 1st
me know' if you can’t put on a drive
to do away with the hunting laws,
i paid 1$ and olO for a license plate
to hunt with and shot up 2- worth

Outstanding inventions have been
brought together in a low -priced auto

zest of driving. The two make a
matchless combination! They bring
about an entirely new kind of driving
case and car control, far beyond anv
ibing you have ever enjoyed. They
give you quick, quiet shifting and
complete mastery of the car under all
driving conditions. They enable you
to do things in driving that are im
