Calls Attention to

Game Warden Jas. Hester;
wishes The Monitor to call special
attention to the Federal law,
against shooting doves.after Jan

are very active in this’ section,
and violations will be prosecuted
by Ur.cle Sam.
The Georgia Law, which in a
| number of instances does not co
! incide with r the , ’Federal law, ex
-1 pires March.lst, and this is very
. misleading.
» In this case it would behoove
hunters to observe the Federal
law and let the doves alone after
< the close of.this month.
