'WANT QUAIL SEASON EXTENDED
Hunters Favor Six Weeks Shooting
, With Lower Bag Limit.
' Wednesday closed the quail season
' la this county. Toe button tar that
(there are more quail left thli season
i, than In anjr former rears. The past
-two weeks have been so dry that the
,n '' tofts could sot locate the birds and
' there were not many killed.
1 Prairie chickens are scarce but
.,, there are. enough left to stock the
'. :ouuirr m goon mampm n wey vumu
3e protected for three or four years,
' , Rabblti are very plentiful and It It
n easy matter to bag all one can
carry. As there Is no bag limit to
rabbits they are .being killed very
fast.
Many ot the hunters desire to sea
the quail season extend, d to six
weeks and the bag limit lowered to
twelve birds. Toco are maty argu
, st argument is that this would ellm-
; t Inate all pot shooting, for a man
would have very little sport If he
hould get the limit by pot-shooting
Jn the first covey be located. ,
There would be no more birds
' killed in six weeks than there are In
. , four, even If a hunter went every
relay, which is not likely. Most hunt-
rs plan on going hunting so many
' times during (he season any way and
it would only make the time between
tils bunts longer and not make the
' hunts more frequent.
But It a hunter went every day for
bs weeks and killed the limit every
' day he would only kill 432 birds dur
ing the season, not counting Sundays.
If t hunter goes every day during
v the length of the present season and
kills the limit, he would bag 480
birds.
t There Is no family that can use
' ver twelve quail In one day and
- when the hunters bring home twenty
. - they are just thrown away ae the law
, will not permit them to be eold.
.- It would be easier on the dogs, too,
If a man has but four weeks to hunt
Ja he will work the dogs until they,
are sick, while If he has six weeks
lie can give tbem several days to
, rest up in. A man engaged in bust-
aess would have more snort. He
would be able to get away more
times for hunting excursions without
selecting hit business,
Many of the hunters want to see
the spring shooting of ducks and
.geese stopped. ' If vein! of the
states at present h-imvrg arc allowod
to shuot ducks nnd gees') only In the
fall. In the spr:ug they nro flying
forth to their ." sammor breeding
grounds and when a hnntar snoo's
one duck In the spring he does not
know how many be may hare killed,
The ducks and geese have a fishy
taste then, caused by something they
eat In the south, so many of tbem
are not fit to eat

Here Is a little axiom I saw hang
ing In the office of t prosperous man
the other day: "The reason tneh
who mind their own business suc
ceed Is because they have ao little
competition.'' Orators have deliv
ered lectures four hours long and
didn't say half as much. , Men have
rtosd through whole pbrarlet aad
never found such a jewel of advice.
Did you ever notice how little trouble.
and worry you have when you work
hard at minding your own business?
Did you ever notice bow satisfactory
-the proflta were on such occasions?
Occasionally there Is a man who has
minded bis own business so assidu
ously that he has a little time left on
his bands. Then it is all right to go
out on the street and assist, a neigh
bor. But the trouble is that when
you do start out to help the aforesaid
neighbor you are apt to overstay the
limit and when you get back you are
behind with your own affairs and it
takes a long time to catch up. tour
neighbor may be letting his hydrant
run contrary to the ordinance, but
you are wasting time by sitting on
the fence and trying to count the gal
lone. You think your merchant
making mistakes In his business, but
be patient." He will find out in due
time and you can retain his friend
ship. Always remember the game
with so little competition.
It 1s all right to say you have for
given your enemy, but I notice that
at this stage of the game mighty few
men celebrate the event by throwing
away their harpoon. , . -. -
J Jt r,
People are always suspicious of
the man who advertises his own vir
tues and honesty with a braBS band
and flying baners.
It Is a fact all right that the prayer
of the unrighteous availeth nothing,
but you will have to Invent some
other scheme to discourage them.
I have come to the conclusion I nm
just this kind of a business man
Nobody ever has a communication
to send me of enough Importance to
put more than a one-cent stamp on
the envelope.

in the mistaken idea that tt is re

Very often you wilt hear, people
say of .a certain man, . "He would 'be
a wonder If he would let boose
alone." Then the fellow will cur rt
out and HB will complain, "I can't do
a thing unless I have a few under my
belt to brace me up and put fine
ideas In my head," which Is proof
that the fellow amounts to nothing
.drunk or sober. . .
I have watched the thing a long
time and I will' make' affidavit that

My Idea of an optimist Is a fellow
who has just bought something of pn
agent that Is to make him one hun
dred per cent and then goes around
telling what a bargain he got ,
The other day I saw a man out in
front of his home sweeping the snow
off the sidewalk for about a block.
He was trying to make life's walk
easy for somebody else. Do you ever
stop long enough to put a little sand
on the - slippery places and toss a
stone out of the pathway ot others?
When walking ' along the highway
and you come to a neighbor who has
a bigger load than he can handle, do
you take hold and give him a lift for
awhile? It you find a neighbor stuck
in a mud hole do you stretch forth
your hand and give him a gopd
friendly pull?. If you do these things
you are making life's walk easier for
somebody else. ' You may not cut
much ice here" In the forum or the
mart, but Over Yonder you will be
laying up riches far beyond the wild
