 objection to this method, which is employed by all

 residence. I know of a man in a large western city 

 who had to write to New York for the address of his 

 local Audubon Society. Leagues and associations for 

 game, fish, and forest protection might employ similar 

 methods. Gun stores and dealers in sportsmen's goods 

 will generally be found willing to receive dues and 

 issue membership cards.
