other lines, with good salaries, but 

 have declined them all. I mean to 

 work for the wild animals and the 

 birds as long as I work for anything 

 or anybody. 1 mean to keep after the 

 game butchers until the last one of 

 them is reformed or put out of 

 business. 



Now, brethren, I want at least 

 10,000 of you to send me checks of 

 $5 each, for 4 years' subscription to 

 The Real Recreation. 



Or, you may pay $10 in advance, 

 for 8 years' subscription if you wish. 



Persons who are already subscribers 

 may renew or extend their subscrip- 

 tions on this basis. 



Now let us have a landslide of $5 

 and $10 checks. 



And while you are about it, put in 

 another dollar for membership in the 

 L. A. S. 



If this appeal is thus met, a fund 

 will be created which will put this 

 magazine on a sound financial basis 

 for all time to come. Meantime, it, in 

 connection with the other forces at 

 work, will have secured ideal game 

 laws everywhere, and it will have 

 created a public opinion that will sus- 

 tain such laws and that will eventually 

 render game wardens unnecessary 

 everywhere. 



The only kind of sympathy that 



counts now is that which brings with 

 it the sinews of war. 



The responses to this appeal should 

 be such as would enable me to put out 

 a March number better than any I 

 have ever published. Shall it be so? 



I am now compelled to put the price 

 of The Real Recreation at $1.50 a 

 year, and 15 cents a copy. If I had 

 done this years ago, when the cost of 

 production increased to such an ex- 

 tent as to render an advance in price 

 necessary, I should to-day be clear of 

 debt; but I chose to keep the price 

 down to a figure that would enable 

 every man, woman and boy to have 

 it. I trust the small advance which 

 is^ now rendered inevitable may not 

 put this magazine out of the reach 

 of any human being. The advance in 

 cost is trifling to the individual, but 

 on an issue of 65,000 a month the dif- 

 ference is great. 



At present I am not allowed to own 

 property or to have a bank account. 

 Checks should, therefore, be made 

 payable to The H. L. Suydam Co., 

 and sent to 1269 Broadway, Room 

 601. All funds thus received will be 

 properly placed and due credit given 

 the subscribers. 



Letters addressed to me as above, 

 and marked personal, will have 

 prompt attention.
