instructions to persuade them to leave 

 Colorado. 



The Indians were located about sixty 

 miles southwest of Meeker, and it was 

 found that they had killed but two deer. 

 Wardens from this department gave the 

 Indians forty-eight hours in which to 

 leave the State, pitched their own camp 

 a few miles distant, and awaited develop- 

 ments. On the eve of the second day 

 the wardens were happily surprised in 

 noting that the Indians had decided to 

 leave, and escorted them to the Utah 

 border. 



I have received assurances from the 

 Bureau of Indian Affairs at Washington 

 to the effect that orders have been issued 

 to the superintendent in charge at Fort 

 Duchesne, Utah, that the Indians be re- 

 tained on the reservation and not allowed 

 to hunt in Colorado. The Indian super- 

 intendent, upon receiving these instruc- 

 tions, immediately dispatched Indian po- 

 lice who aided our department materially 

 in ridding Colorado of these game vio- 

 lators. — Report of Game and Fish Com-

Mining in Two Inches of Ground. 



In a note sent by the du Pont Com- 

 pany, .we are informed that lead mining 

 on trap shooting grounds is profitable. 

 Trap shooters have the same shooting 

 grounds year after year, "week in and 

 week out," and since the gunners stand 

 on the same old line the shot falls on a 

 comparatively small area where it can be 

 collected. 



The method of securing the lead is 

 simple. The ground is skimmed about 

 one and a half inches deep. The top soil 

 is put in piles and when dry it is sifted 

 by screens run by a gasoline engine. 



Twenty-three tons of lead were pro- 

 cured in front of the traps of the du 

 Pont Gun Club.

 Game Breeder was always mentioned in 

 the conversation which occurred. 



The words "more game" are used to 

 end letters. "Yours for more game" 

 started by somebody. 



"MORE!" 



More game ; more fish ; fewer game

 words from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 



A traveler from the West coast called 

 recently on The Game Breeder and said 

 that everywhere he went he heard the

"More" Frankfurters. 



Dyes are important, of course, but how 

 far behind the Deutschland is the unter-

 and the tanks of Pilsner?

"Why don't you get rid of that dog, 

 son? He is useless and has no spirit."

Wildcat in Hunters' Lodge. 



At Philipsburg, Pa., when members of 

 the Crystal Springs Hunting Club visited 

 their quarters in the Clearfield County 

 woods recently they were confronted by 

 a big wildcat. When it showed fight it

A couple of little boys were discussing 

 matters personal to themselves. One of 

 them asked: 



"Do you say your prayers in the morn- 

 ing or at night?" 



"At night, of course," said the other. 

 "Anybody can take care of himself in 

 the daytime!"
