AROUND OUR CAMP-FIRE 



/ leave this rule for others when I'm dead, 

 Be always sure you 're right— then go ahead.

READ YOUR MAGAZINE 



Tt is peculiar, but while each succeeding num- 

 ber of Rkcreation is in preparation we cannot 

 help telling every one it is the best number yet — ■ 

 and then when we come to make up the "Camp- 

 fire rage," we forget all about the current num- 

 ber to enthuse over the one following. This 

 time, however, we want to point out that the 

 present number is a little bit the best magazine 

 we have ever turned out. For charm of illus- 

 trations and text combined, Julian A. Dimock's 

 article, "With the Free in Arizona," is easily 

 one of the best things that has ever been pub- 

 lished about life on the Arizona plains. But 

 this is only one of several trips the reader can 

 enjoy by reading this number. He can go to 

 the breeding grounds of the shore birds in 

 Canada with Bonnycastle Dale — a mighty 

 interesting trip, too; he can build a motor 

 canoe with George Carling, take a canoe cruise 

 down the famous Au Sable River with Walter 

 C. O'Kane, go salmon fishing in Newfoundland 

 with John O'Donnell, or in New Brunswick 

 with Charles A. Bramble; visit the Williams 

 River wilderness in West Virginia with Andrew 

 Price, take a swing around Vermont with 

 Edward Cave and his friends the game wardens, 

 help round up a herd of beef cattle in Mon- 

 tana with Florence S. Du Bois, go deer hunting 

 in the mountains of British Columbia with G. 

 E, Cornwall, or be entertained and benefited 

 in any other of a variety of ways. The depart- 

 ments will be found to contain an unusual 

 amount of practical information. 



THE JULY NUMBER 



There will be an abundance of "good stuff" 

 in the July number — the sort to make people 

 exclaim, "Say, did you see Recreation this 

 month? You want to get a copy!" For in- 

 stance, Roscoe Brumbaugh, in a very enter- 

 taining article, which is handsomely illustrated 

 from photographs by Arthur Hewett, tells how 

 certain New Yorkers spend their Sundays on 

 the fishing banks; James Leddy Pequignot 

 writes about some guides he has met and 

 others, re-tells some of the tall tales they 

 have related around the camp-fire, and 

 illustrates his text from photographs of the 



guides ; Madeline Z. Doty tells of camping 

 in the high Sierra with the famous Sierra 

 Club of California, the article being profusely 

 illustrated from photographs; F. M. Kelly 

 writes of yachting in the far Northwest, illus- 

 trating his text from excellent photographs of 

 fast boats; Harry L. Means contributes an 

 excellent article on mascalonge fishing, and 

 Don Cameron Shafer writes equally as well of 

 angling for the famous small-mouthed bass of 

 Northern lakes; and Sid. Howard tells about 

 some unusually large trout he has been fastened 

 to in his time in Canadian waters. 



These are by no means all. We simply 

 haven't the space to tell about all the good 

 features of the July number. When you get it 

 you will admit that it is much better than you 

 expected. 



TELL THE OTHER FELLOW 



Don't be selfish. The other fellow who is not 

 a subscriber to Recreation, or who does not 

 buy it regularly from the news-stands, would 

 like to know about all these good things. He 



Recreation's Platform 



An uncompromising fight for the 

 protection, preservation and propagation 

 of all game; placing a sane limit on 

 the bag that can be taken in a day or 

 season; the prevention of the shipment 

 or transportation of game, except in 

 limited quantities, and then only when 

 accompanied by the party who ^///eJ 

 it; the prohibition of the sale of game. 

 These are "Recreation's" slogans now 

 and forever. 



will thank you to tell him about Recreation, 

 and, at the same time, by passing it along, you 

 will enable us to give you a still better maga- 

 zine. Remember, everyone is interested in 

 recreation, and Recreation is interested in 

 everyone. A year's subscription is just a little 

 the best dollar and a-half investment you can 

 make.
