Will you not kindly recommend 

 Recreation to all such of your 

 friends as are sportsmen? Send me 

 their names and addresses and I will 

 mail them sample copies. I need the 

 hearty co-operation and support of all 

 true sportsmen and nature lovers in 

 extending the circulation of this mag- 

 azine. It is doing a great work in 

 preserving the game, the game fishes, 

 the song birds and the forests of this 

 country, and the more people it 

 reaches the greater good it can do. 

 Please do not forget to send me the 

 list of names.

 often die." 



"How often," asked a deeply interested 

 listener, "do they have to die before they 

 stay dead? — Chicago Tribune.
