 Society, however, ean afford to 'take 

 risks in all its experimental work since 

 the failures as well as the successes have 

 a commercial value as news for readers 

 of The Game Breeder. 



As a result of the experiments made 

 by the Society many readers are in- 

 duced to try experiments and an increas- 

 ing number are beginning to correspond 

 with those interested in publishing The 

 Game Breeder. 



has are enemies of common sense and 

 they know it since we have told them so. 



Work of a Small Ad. 



One of our advertisers in sending a 

 subscription for the magazine says : "Al- 

 low me to tell you that my little ad in 

 your most widely read paper has brought 

 me more money than advertisements in 

 twelve other papers all put together. It 

 certainly flooded me with letters and or- 

 ders." 



We are always gratified but not sur- 

 prised when advertisers write to us. It 

 is pleasing to know that we are doing 

 some good in the world. We much pre- 

 fer to do good than to denounce wrong- 

 doing. It is not surprising that adver- 

 tisers get good returns. The Game 

 Breeder is read probably by every man, 

 woman and child in America who can 

 afford to buy a deer or a game bird and 

 by all sportsmen who have any game to 

 shoot. Most of these people know that 

 The Game Breeder is their friend since 

 it helped to make it possible for them to 

 have game in their possession, and to 

 sell it if they wished to. It is not at all 

 surprising that these people should heed 

 our advice and purchase from our 

 friends, the advertisers, in the magazine. 

 It is a good time for the game breeders 

 to keep in close touch with each other 

 and to support the paper which is their 

 best friend, and the conservation society 

 which will defend them to the best of its 

 ability when any of them are arrested 

 for "food producing" or attempting to 

 engage in this laudable industry. We al- 

 ways can furnish wide publicity for 

 wrongdoing and whenever we can we 

 will furnish the money to defend game 

 breeders when they are improperly ar- 

 rested. The few enemies the magazine 



Information Wanted. 



The biological survey writes that it 

 wishes to procure information concern- 

 ing every hunting club or other organ- 

 ization whose object is the hunting or 

 preserving of game of any kind. It 

 wishes the names of officers, location of 

 hunting grounds, etc. Our readers who 

 apply for licenses can send this informa- 

 tion. 



FOUNTAIN FOR ROOSEVELT. 



Lovers of Nature to Erect Magnificent 



Bird Fountain as Memorial to 



Their Great Leader. 



New York, January 27. — Announce- 

 ment was made today that the National 

 Association of Audubon Societies and its 

 affiliated state organizations, bird socie- 

 ties and sportsmen's clubs throughout 

 the country will at once begin the work 

 of providing for the ultimate erection of 

 a notahle work of art to be known as the 

 Roosevelt Memorial Bird Fountain. 



T. Gilbert Pearson, the secretary of 

 the association, who originated the plan, 

 stated today that the enthusiastic manner 

 in which the idea was being received al- 

 most swept him off his feet. "There is 

 not the slightest doubt," said Mr. Pear- 

 son, "but what the lovers of out-of-door 

 life will combine to support this tribute 

 to our great fallen leader. Colonel 

 Roosevelt Was the most forceful cham- 

 pion of wild life conservation the world 

 has ever produced. He exposed the 

 school of sham nature writers and drove 

 them to cover under the stinging appella- 

 tion of nature fakers. He encouraged 

 by example, by influence and by contri- 

 butions the work of scientific natural 

 history study. As president he estab- 

 lished the principle of the United States 

 bird reservations and by executive or- 

 der created thirty-eight of these federal 

 bird sanctuaries. As a hunter he taught 

 the world lessons in straight? clean 

 sportsmanship."
