A reader told the editor a few days 

 ago he found the advertisements the most 

 interesting and instructive part of the 

 magazine. We try always to have a 

 little attractive reading matter to go with 

 the adSj but we are inclined to agree 

 with our reader. 



ARTHUR A. HILL. 



Members of the Game Conservation 

 Society will read with sorrow the an- 

 nouncement of the death of Arthur A. 

 Hill, vice-president of the society since 

 its incorporation. Mr. Hill was a won- 

 derfully capable man in many fields. He 

 quickly declared in favor of the "more 

 game" movement at a time when only a 

 few persons in America believed it would 

 be possible to make the country a big 

 game-producing country and the game 

 an important food supply for all of the 

 people. He was a very busy man, the 

 editor of two successful magazines ,at 

 the time of his death, but he found time 

 to act as vice-president of the society 

 and to help on its work in many ways, 

 serving without compensation as all of 

 the officers of the society do. He wrote 

 occasionally for The Game Breeder and 

 upon one occasion, when the editor could 

 not give the publication his attention, he 

 practically brought out a number. A 

 reader promptly wrote to the editor 

 that the number was one of the best 

 ever issued and Mr. Hill w^as much 

 amused when the writer under the head- 



ing, "One on the Editor," published the 

 letter and stated that Mr. Hill should 

 have the credit for the number. He 

 worked with great speed and we often 

 wondered how he could accomplish so 

 much. 



Arthur A. Hill died at his home in 

 this city Thursday, September 13. 



He was born in Greenwich, Massa- 

 chusetts, and was in his sixty-fourth 

 year. He at one time owned, controlled 

 and edited The Haverhill Gazette, pub- 

 lished at Haverhill, Massachusetts, giv- 

 ing to that publication a degree of influ- 

 ence which it had not previously enjoyed. 

 In 1890 he became managing editor of 

 the American Press Association, of New 

 York City, leaving that organization for 

 the purpose of making a trip to the Klon- 

 dike gold regions. On his return from 

 the Klondike he purchased an interest in 

 The North Adams Evening Herald. La- 

 ter on he sold his interest in The Herald^ 

 and became editor of The Blacksmith 

 and Wheelwright and The Amateur 

 Sportsman, published by the M. T. Rich- 

 ardson Company. In 1906 he also be- 

 came editor of the Automobile Dealer 

 and Repairer. He was one of the orig- 

 inal members of the New York Press 

 Club. 



In his youth he was connected for a 

 time with the Springfield (Massachu- 

 setts) Republican, and afterwards con- 

 nected himself with a big publishing and 

 printing concern in New York, to learn 

 the business. Tiring of this, he went to 

 Ohio, and entered Oberlin College, pay- 

 ing his way by work in the local print- 

 ing office. Before he was 21 he had be- 

 come a reporter on the Cincinnati Ga- 

 zette and a compositor on the Chicago- 

 Times, and for a year a reporter and 

 city editor on the Toledo Democrat and 

 Herald. 



At the time of his death Mr. Hill 

 was the editor of the Automobile Deal- 

 er and Repairer, a successful trade paper. 



He was the author of a novel of un- 

 usual merit, entitled "What's He to Me?" 

 published in 1914. 



He was a man of pronounced opinions, 

 and a forceful writer upon any topic 

 which interested him. He was especially
