FOREST AND STREAM 
for burial on home ground, but to be 
pieced carefully together and to give 
more years of service. We probably 
like it better than we would a new one 
because we spent so many off hours on 
the once seemingly hopeless victim of 
the strong waters and poor judgment. 
In closing, let me confess to one 
pleasure I am going to miss if many of 
the fraternity heed my suggestions. 
The canoe fisherman finds a distinct 
sense of self-satisfaction as he passes 
his unfortunate brother pulling at a 
pair of oars or being pulled by them. 
Any one who has sat in the prow 
seat of a canoe and consequently been 
unaware of anything around him but 
water and landscape, will realize what 
I mean by these intangible differences 
between a row boat and a canoe. The 
others will have to have faith enough 
to try if they are not to miss them. 
We know one of the chief keys to the 
glorious freedom of the out-of-doors 
the canoe. 
SUMMER CHUCK 
HUNTING 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 309 ) 
day quietly impresses the local dele- 
gate of “Bull, Blood and Bolshevism” 
with the fact that while “free speech” 
is guaranteed under our constitution, 
barn burning and other forms of vio- 
lence will be promptly and effectively 
resented by certain peaceful citizens 
who are prepared to “keep the situation 
in hand” pending the arrival of the 
Sheriff. 
When a form of marksmanship is 
presented to the public that will inter- 
est chuck hunting doctors, crow killing 
professors, and the youths who can and 
do stop red squirrels at all points, sta- 
tionary and in transit; when such men 
can be induced to study, appreciate and 
put into practical use all the lore, re- 
finements and appliances so patiently 
and perfectly developed by the target 
shot; then, and not until then will rifle 
shooting loom up as a national sport 
and become the national asset it used 
to be, must continue to be. A spirit of 
independence is a fine thing in either 
an individual or a nation, but the “lone 
wolf” must, in one way or another, 
impress the world with the fact that 
he is quite capable of taking care of 
himself upon any and all occasions, 
otherwise some one is sure to go gun- 
ning for that “lone wolf” and bag him. 
Here s how” to the chuck hunting 
Doctor, a real American because he 
possesses as an individual the very 
qualities we require as a nation. Peace- 
able and intelligent, just and generous, 
quick to laugh and slow to anger; yet 
well armed and well trained, amply able 
to uphold the majesty of the law and 
e traditions that have made America 
what it is today.

Stevens Shotguns 
Always Make Good 
Stevens Shotguns are at home in any company, in any 
competition, because they have made good for many 
years under trying field conditions and in scores of 
important Trap Tournaments. 
All the vast experience gained in 57 years of success- 
ful manufacture has been built in the Stevens Field and 
Trap Models. 
Your dealer will be glad to show you either or both.
