The upen season dates pre
sented relating to migratory birds
are the results of State and
Federal legislation, and it is only
by observing the published sea
sons that hunters can avoid vio
lating the various laws, as the
Federal regulations operate in
many states to shorten the sea
sons fixed by state statute.
Provisions relating to methods
of capture, game refuges, are
plainly set forth.
Beginning now, the “‘pop”’ of
the rifle will be heard all over
the land, from the far North to
the Everglades of Florida, and
the sport will continue until the
law calls a halt later in the
winter. :
Those who - desire to secure
copies of these regulations may
secure them if they will write to
their Congressman or Senators,
each of these officials having a
certain number for general dis
tributing among their con
stituents.

lßed Bone To Vote -
, on School Bonds
At a meeting held by the peo
ple of the Red Bone School Dis
trict last I'riday afternoon a vote
was taken and two-thirds of the
citizens voted in favor of calling
an election at an early date to
decide the question of whether
the school district shall vote
bonds or not to build a new
School building.
The present building is not
large enough to take care of the
large number of pupils attending
this school, it being a consolidat
ed school of several districts,
besides the school has not a stage
on which to put on entertain
ments and for other purpo:es,
which is badly needed in every
school. L
We are sure the people of this
community now realize the need
of this building and when the
times comes will vote solid for
bonds.
