IVER JOHNSON 
The Boy in you says, “Get the Book” 
It’s a pretty tame man that wouldn’t enjoy reading and owning this 84-page Book. 
It tells what quality means in a revolver, what safety means, what accuracy and 
dependability mean. In other words it describes the Iver Johnson Safety 
Automatic Revolver. 
The Iver Johnson 4 Cham¬ 
pion” Single Barrelled Shot 
Gun and our new Double 
Gun are shown and their 
many good features ex¬ 
plained. 
After reading the chapter 
on bicycles, you will un¬ 
derstand why most racing 
men ride the Iver Johnson 
and why our bicycles have 
held front rank since 
bicycles were invented. 
You will be impressed with the 
talk on the Iver Johnson Motor¬ 
cycle. It tells of a masterpiece 
of engineering. It is our belief 
that no better motorcycle will 
ever be built. Slight changes may 
be made, but basicly the Iver 
Johnson Motorcycle is perfect.

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW TO BE 
ENFORCED. 
With the approach of the open season for 
shooting wild fowl, the United States Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture is warning sportsmen that 
the Federal regulations as amended October i, 
1914, will be strictly enforced. Some misunder¬ 
standing has arisen from the fact that the var¬ 
ious state laws do not always conform to the 
Federal regulations. This is regarded as un¬ 
fortunate but in such cases the Department must 
insist upon the observance of the Federal regu¬ 
lations. 
The Department will consider any recom¬ 
mendation submitted in good faith for amend¬ 
ment of the regulations, but will hold no public 
hearings thereon, nor will it amend the regula¬ 
tions prior to October 15, 1915. It is the purpose 
of the Department to conform the regulations to 
the wishes of the majority of sportsmen so far 
as it can be done and at the same time give wild 
fowl the necessary protection. 
Federal regulations divide the United States 
into two zones. Zone No. I, the breeding zone, 
includes the States of Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, 
Nebraska, Iowa. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Penn¬ 
sylvania, and New Jersey, and all States north 
of them. Zone No. 2, the wintering zone, in¬ 
cludes all States south of those named.

in the forest. In 1906 an appropriation of $1,000 
was secured to buy beaver and Commissioner 
James S. Whipple started out to get 25 more 
from Yellowstone park. In a trip through the 
Saranac lake country that spring commissioner 
Whipple found a colony of 12 beaver which had 
cut 171 trees. In 1907 it was estimated that the 
colonies had grown to number fully 100 animals 
and that these were distributed through the 
counties of St. Lawrence, Franklin, Essex, 
Hamilton and Herkimer. How many beaver now 
exist in the Adirondacks is not known but they 
have become a great attraction to tourists and 
are very carefully preserved.

GRASS BLINDS FOR SHORE BIRD 
SHOOTING. 
At last it has come to pass, and at a price 
within easy reach of all of us—and, just think 
back and you will note that we generally pay big 
prices for a new device we need. Frank Law¬ 
rence, one of the best known wild fowl and shore 
bird shooters on the Atlantic coast and a prom¬ 
inent professional trap shooter, has invented and 
is manufacturing grass blinds and grass suits for 
shore birds, ducks and goose. The grass suits 
are much the same as field laborers in Japan 
use for waterproof suits. They are light and 
convenient to shoot from. Write Frank Law¬ 
rence, 384 Third Street, Brooklyn.
