3d. That upon their own individual words, ac- 

 tions and subscriptions depend present and future 

 conditions. 



4th. That when they have complaints to make 

 they should ask themselves, "What have I personally 

 done to help matters, and how much do I subscribe 

 to hounds?" 



A Word to t-andliolders 



The question often arises in the minds of Ameri- 

 can landowners, who are not active hunting men, 

 what good comes to them by permitting their land 

 to be ridden over. 



As surely as the sun rises and sets the answer is 

 as follows: 



There are more hunting people and less hunting 

 country in America each year. In any country 

 where the hunting is well done, where the hunt 

 organization works for the future, and where the 

 landowners help the cause it will only be a very 

 few years before land in that country is readily 

 salable at prices far above its mere agricultural 

 value, and because of the hunting. 



There are thousands upon thousands of square 

 miles of fine agricultural land in America, but only 

 a few square miles of foxhunting country. 



A word to the wise ought to be sufficient. But 

 don't forget to keep out all wire!
