time during the fall arid early winter and get some sport in 

 the chase! Some people say that Noah beached the ark on 

 one of Minnesota's lakes after the great deluge a few cen- 

 turies ago, and left specimens of every known animal here, 

 and that some of them lived while some of them died, but 

 the survival was sufficient to provide amusement for the man 

 with the gun, for centuries to come. 



Chicken Hunting Already Under Way and Quail Season at 



Hand. 



On September 7, the lid was lifted so that prairie chicken, 

 turtledove, snipe, woodcock and certain kinds of plover and 

 grouse might be shot without the hunter having to explain 

 to a deputy game warden or judge afterward, why he did it. 

 On the same date, protection was withdrawn from wild duck, 

 goose and all other aquatic fowl, and it may be truthfully 

 said that the mortality among these game birds suddenly 

 became astounding. On October 1, the season for quail, par- 

 tridge, ruffled grouse and pheasant opens and will stay open 

 for two months. 



But the real, true, soul-inspiring, hair-raising, exciting sport 

 opens November 10, when it becomes lawful to kill deer and 

 moose. Then the red jackets may be taken out to wear in 

 the big North woods to help the hunter distinguish you from 

 a big bull moose or a moving deer. Proposal has been made 

 in Minnesota that each hunter applying for a license be taken 

 out and examined to determine whether or not he can tell 

 the difference between a Jersey cow and a deer, or the out- 

 line of a moose from the shape of a mule. The death rate 

 among cows, mules and men in the woods during the hunting 

 season in recent years has been high As the season for deer 

 and moose lasts only 20 days, however, it is not likely that 

 all these animals will be killed off during the present year. 



Some "Don'ts" that May Keep You Out of the Courts. 



the "Thou-shalt-nots" wisely written in the Minne- 

 sota laws, the following, if remembered, may prevent hunters 

 from paying certain specified sums to justices of the peace in
