Opinions by Young and Old Friends of Forest and Stream 
THEY BEGIN YOUNG AND REMAIN FOR LIFE 
FROM A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD 
READER. 
Zion City, Ill., Feb. 9, 1915. 
Editor Forest and, Stream : 
I want you to know I am glad Forest 
and Stream has changed from a weekly to 
a monthly. When I read your notice in 
the last weekly issue that it was going to 
be a monthly, I was very much upset. But 
when I received January’s number, you 
don’t know how pleased I was. 
I see you knew what you were doing 
when you made the change. Forest and 
Stream as a monthly is far superior to the 
weekly. 
I am only 17 years old but I enjoy Forest 
and Stream more than any other magazine. 
Sportsmen who do not read Forest and 
Stream don’t know what they are missing.

A SUBSCRIBER FOR 33 YEARS. 
West Berlin, Mass., Jan. 9, 19x5. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
As I have been a subscriber to Forest 
and Stream since 1882, I don’t see how I 
can give it up, at this late day. I have en¬ 
joyed the paper these many years with its 
valuable information. 
Please find enclosed $1.00 for your 
monthly paper.

FROM TWO OF THE “OLD GUARD. ’ 
Washington, D. C., Feb. 9, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Enclosed find Post Office money order 
for one dollar, in payment of another year’s 
subscription to Forest and Stream. 
As a reader of the paper for more than 
twenty years I’ll admit the change to its 
new form pretty nearly knocked the wind 
out of me, but a look at the January num¬ 
ber heartened me up considerably, and the 
February edition has just about completed 
the job. After all, it is the same old 
friend, just changed a little in appearance, 
and like other old friends, growing nearer 
and better with the passing years. 
Here s wishing you good luck, and hop¬ 
ing you will gather in every one worth 
having. CURTIS I. GILBERT. 
A READER FOR THIRTY YEARS. 
Worcester, Vt., Feb. 3, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Received the February number of Forest 
and Stream to-day but have not received 
the January number. Will you kindly send 
the first issue, as have had the paper for 
thirty years, and don’t like to miss them. 
I think the monthly is an improvement 
on the paper. W. E. BRUCE. 
THE MONTHLY SUITS HIM. 
Roseburg, Oregon, Jan. 25, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Enclosed $1.00; send me or rather renew my 
subscription to Forest and Stream. I have the 
January, 1915 number. The monthly suits me.

THE CHANGE A GOOD ONE. 
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Jan. 23, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Find check for $2.00 inclosed. Please advance 
my subscription to Forest and Stream. I think 
the change from a weekly to a monthly publica¬ 
tion, is a good one. R. H. COATS. 
WATCHFUL WAITING NOT IN VAIN. 
Buffalo, N. Y., 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Enclosed please find P. O. order for $1.00 to 
pay subscription for 1915. 
I have taken your paper for a number of 
years and think you have made a wise change 
in making it a monthly. $3.00 per year in these 
days of “watchful waiting for more money” 
looks big to many of us. E. P. REYNOLDS. 
LIKES THE NEW IDEA. 
Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 2, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Please find enclosed $1.00 in payment for one 
year’s subscription beginning March, 1915. 
I like the new form and idea and hope you 
will get lots of canoeing news from the people 
who have it, most of them appear loath to give 
it up. 
I wish you luck and success. 
W. H. LOGAN, Jr., Rear Commodore, Atlan¬ 
tic Division, American Canoe Association. 
AN EXPRESSION OF APPRECIATION. 
Akron, Ohio, Jan. 19, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Inclosed please find $1.00 for one year’s sub¬ 
scription of your magazine, which I think is 
awfully good. F. A. WILKIE. 
WILL STILL BE A WELCOME VISITOR. 
Dubuque, Iowa, Jan. 7, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Enclosed find check for the continued call of 
the Forest and Stream whose weekly visits I 
shall miss very much and would much rather 
pay the difference for the weekly. However, I 
shall be glad to get the monthly and wish it a 
long and prosperous career.

ONLY OBJECTION IS THE WAIT. 
Fond du Lac., Wis., Jan. 18, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Please find enclosed $1.00 to renew my sub¬ 
scription to Forest and Stream for 1915. 
I like the new monthly Forest and Stream— 
the only objection is having to wait so long for 
it. Wishing you all success in this new venture.

FOREST AND STREAM TOO EFFECTIVE. 
Stuart, Florida, Jan. 22, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
My letter regarding the fishing possibilities 
of the waters adjacent to Stuart, puMbhed in 
Forest and Stream, was read by Prof. John D. 
Shroy, of 1012 N. Broad St., Philadelphia, Dis¬ 
trict Superintendent of the public schools of that 
city, who devoted his one week of a holiday 
vacation to a fishing trip to Stuart, Florida, and 
came into my law office with Forest and Stream 
in his hand “hunting the man who wrote the 
article” as he said, and I, though in the hardest 
kind of professional work, took time to put Prof. 
Shroy in the hands of a personal friend, who 
provided the entertainment, and I enclose a 
photo of that friend with nineteen sheephead, 
caught by the two of them in less than two 
hours fishing and several of the catch weighed 
from five to eight pounds. 
The publication of that letter, has brought to 
Stuart fifteen people, who are here now, and 
have rented rooms for a month or more and 
others write me they are coming from Wyoming, 
Iowa, and several other states, even Maine. I am 
glad that the Forest and Stream is now a 
monthly, so that you cannot print this letter and 
photo next week, or I would have to quit the 
law practice and give my time to the entertain¬ 
ment of my brother sportsmen.

“SO LONG AS IT GETS THERE.” 
Lufkin, Texas, Jan. 7, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
It s going to be a bit awkward to have your 
valuable journal come monthly instead of once 
a week as we have been getting it for so many 
>ears, but any old time will do just so it gets 
here - J. L. PHILLIPS. 
INCOMPARABLY THE BEST. 
Cambridge, Mass., Feb. 5, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
^ To have completed my set of Forest and 
Stream by securing from you the only number 
that it lacked, gives me exceeding joy and grati¬ 
tude for the kind trouble you have taken. 
Of course I read, as well as take, the journal— 
and have from the very first. To my mind it 
is incomparably the best publication of its kind 
that exists—and has been ever since it started.

AN IRRESISTIBLE APPEAL TO THE JEANS 
POCKET. 
Liberty, N. Y., Jan. 30th. 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
You should soon have a very large circulation. 
One dollar is such a small sum that few persons 
will hesitate to go down into their jeans for the 
bill I am sure that I wish you prosperity. 
THEODORE GORDON.
