LOUIS RHEAD K NATURE LURES 
4th season. 1919 — Made stronger — Last longer — More deadly 
than ever. Heretofore, the maker of nature lures trusted 
entirely to personal tests of them. So many appreciative 
letters are received, anglers may be interested in the fol- 
lowing sample from an eminent M.D. fishing In Maine: 
"Dear Sir: Enclosed find five dollars, for which please 
send me assortment of nature lures for trout. 1 used 
the lures this summer and had the grandest sport of 
my life, taking onanahiche with them on two- trips. 
I used them at one pool where flies, worms, and live 
bait were being li.sed, and brought to net more fish 
!ha.n four other rods. I lost my last feather minnow 
this week and wish to be prepared for next season." 
Send for new illustrated leaflet with additional tested baits.

shot. Crow shooting in the winter when 
snow is on the ground is good sport. 
I N view of the fact that conservation 
is ^ the purpose of this v ar against 
the crow, the trophies offered in this 
contest do not represent any great mone- 
tary value. No incentive at all is really 
needed to get farmers and sportsmen to 
kill as many of these destructive pests 
as possible — and besides it is the spirit 
of competition rather than the value of 
the prizes that makes for a successful 
contest, particularly when results are 
helping Uncle Sam feed not only this 
country but also many of the nations 
of Europe. 
To every contestant in the National 
Crow Shoot who during 1919 shoots 
twenty-five (25) crows will be awarded 
a triangular bronze lapel button. 
To the two bronze trophy winners in 
each state (or province in Canada) who 
shoot the largest number of crows dur- 
ing 1919 will be awarded respectively 
the following trophies, each to be en- 
graved with the total number of crows 
shot by the contestant: 
1st State Prize, Gold Trophy Button. 
2nd State Prize, Silver Trophy Button. 
To the three gold trophy winners who 
shoot the largest number of crows dur- 
ing 1919 will be awarded respectively 
the following trophies, each to be ap- 
propriately engraved: 
1st National Prize, Gold Trophy Cup. 
2nd National Prize, Silver Trophy Cup. _ 
3rd National Prize, Bronze Trophy 
Cup. 
Conditions of the Contest 
1. Anyone in the United States or 
Canada, is eligible to take part in the 
National Crow Shoot. 
2. The National Crow Shoot will be 
conducted to conform strictly to the Fed- 
eral State Game Laws and nothing con- 
tained in our offer is to be construed as 
urging anyone to violate any game law. 
Each individual should inform himself 
with regard to his local game laws before 
taking part in this contest. 
3. To receive credit in the contest 
crows must be killed with a shotgun or 
rifle. 
4. Evidence of crows shot is to be 
furnished by contestants in the form of 
a signed statement, countersigned by an 
ammunition dealer, upon forms furnished 
for the purpose. It is expected that the 
contestant will furnish the dealer with 
evidence of his kills in the form of bills 
or feet of the crows shot. The state- 
ment forms will be supplied to dealers 
and contestants upon request. 
TO PROTECT RUFFED CROUSE 
O WING to the great scarcity of ruffed 
grouse, now seriously threatened 
with extinction, efforts are bein^ made in 
a number of States to close the season on 
this species for a term of years. Upon 
petition the game commissioners of Mich- 
igan and Pennsylvania have closed the 
season by regulation, and in New York 
the season was shortened to one month. 
Protective legislation, if enforced quickly 
and rigidly enough, will save the grouse.
