that traveler been right sure that the

are 2,000,000 letters passed into the

HUNTING IN INDIANA
OVER FEBRUARY-9
"Thre is a great deal of perplex
i'y. probably natural enough, as to
m bat may be hunted at a given time
in Indiana." declared George W. Mann
fld. mpprintendent of the division of
fisheries and game of the department
of conservation, in a statement today.
"Everybody should understand, how
rvpr, that it is unlawful at any time to
sell or to offer for sale arry wild water
fowl, sufh as ducks or geese, or any
quail. Jt will be unlawful after Sat
urday, Dec. 31, to shoot any wild
water fowl until the open season
comes in the fall of 1922. The open
season for squirrels ended Dec. 1. so
they are off the available list. The
open season for quail ended Dec. 20.
so they are under the ban. After Sat
urday, Dec. 31. water fowl will be le
gally untakable for most hunters
they have been untakable for a good
deal longer and thus the man who
sallies out today has only the rabbit
as his legitimate game. If he has
license, if he does not trespass
which can be avoided with due for
mality and if he goes far enough he
should be able to bag a dollar's worth
of rabbits, for they are abundant in
Indiana, and the market price is about
T.O cents apiece, dressed. From this
time until Jan. .9 the rabbit will be
the only game creature that can be
lawfully bagged. Then a prohibitory
law also comes into effect for the rab-i
bit. and will continue until sprhig.
"The fur-bearing animals, which, in
Indiana, are chiefly the fox, mink,
skunk, muskrat, opossum and rac
coon, are not classified by the depart
ment of conservation as game, but
simplv as fur-bearers. The rabbit,
fur-bearer though it is, is hunted
chiefly for food and is classified as
game.
"After Feb. 9 hunting will be over
for the rest of the winter. The sea
son will be closed not only on the
rabbit, but on the fox, the opossum,
the raccoon, the skunk, the mu3krat
and the mink. Now they may be
trapped, shot or taken any way. After
Feb. 9 they may not be taken at all
until the open season comes again.
Thus the invitation of these days to
the person of sportsmanlike prompt
ings is not exactly an invitation to a
least."
Does the crossroads storekeeper real
ize that the postoffieedepartment ren
ders Santa Claus more assistance tha.n
all other agencies combined, but at the
same time multiplies the congestion
many fold? He should think of these
things before writing that hot. letter
to "The House" heaping maledictions
on the traveler and Charlie Beck. The
ordinary daily mail is of an aston
ishingly hugh volume, but when the
Christmas card mail is added with its
freak envelopes poorly tied packages,
it becomes truly appalling. The real
wonder is that we have so little trou
ble with our deliveries.
That the inhabitants of the United
States are kindhearted is evidenced
by the amount of money spent for
"greeting" cards. Last year $22,000,000
went into Christmas cards. Add the
amounts spent for valentines. Mothers'
Day, Easter, etc., swells the tital to
about $30,000,000. Yet we think we are
getting off easy when we mail a few
cards, and we are. It's a heap better
than making more or less expensive
presents that nobody really needs or
or wants.
About 300 T. P. A. members and
