THE last legislature made some important changes in 

 the laws relating to game and fish in Minnesota. The 

 state game and fish commission has prepared a con- 

 cise synopsis of these laws together with all of the laws 

 now on the statute books. With the fishing season at its 

 height and the game season coming in the future, it is 

 essential that every sportsman have in his possession this 

 synopsis and the chart prepared by the commission showing 

 the open and closed season for game and fish in Minnesota. 

 They are therefore presented at this time.
