In the late war.
The late war was a picnic,|a
pleasure, considering what the
outcome was, as compared to the
results in manyot these hunting
affairs.
"It is glorious to die tor one's
country," but it is criminal for
any one to recklessly, injure or
msim any person so as to render
them inefficient and useless to the
general good of all. This is particularly true of hunting.
The many hunting "accidents"
go to prove tbat "accidents will
happen" and tbst a great many
licensed hunters are not sufficiently responsible to safely carry dangerous weapons.

WEATHER IS^BAD FOR HUNTING
Causes Decrease In Gunners Taking Oat
License lo Bs in the Woods
Weather conditions have resulted in diminishing the number
of hunters in Blair oounty during
the present season, tbe number
licensed through County Treasurer John R. Dunkle being more
tban 800 lees tban for 1920.
Thus far this season the weather has beeu detrimental to bunting. There has been but few
cold days while more than half
the days of the opening month
were marked by rain. The bad
weather" has undoubtedly kept
down the number of hunters as
many depend on weather conditions to enjoy tbe sport.
A change in issuing licenses
became effective this year and
it is likely that this might have
had some effect on decreasing the
number of gunners. Licenses
were procurable in every section
of the county in past years. This
year the licence was obtainable
only at the courthouse.
During the present game season Blair coanty is represented
by 9,788 gunners, including more
than 100 women. Last year the
county issued licenses to 10,125
gunners It is likely that about
100 more licenses will be issued
this year prior to tbe elose of the
deer, bear and rabbit seasons,
Dec. 15.
The fish license law will go in
to effect in the state ou January 1
and ever angler Will be* required
to take oot a license similar to
the hunting license. Tbe license

Anglers are requested to take
out licenses as soon after Jan. 1
as possible as the state department

the license money is badly in
ueed of funds, tbe appropriations
ending witb Dec. 81 and the operation of the department in Jan.
will depend solely on the amount
of the early license receipts.
The lack of funds is delayed to
