The trappers reported a great
many raccoons in the district,
and the feeling of the meeting
was that they should be allowed
to trap them as well as shoot
thein. A lively discussion was
held on the advisability of hav-
ing an early muskrat season, but
no action was taken. The associ-
ation has ordered different var-
ieties of seeds, such as wild cel-
ery, wild rice, burrweed, arrow
weed, etc.; to be distributed
among the members for planting
in the best locations in their
trapping territories, It is hoped
the growing of these will entice
more game birds and- animals
back into the district.

ed one years' paid up inember-

Wanted. Bartender
"Must have ability to cater to
a very discriminating club mem-
bership. Appearance and use of
English Language important. A
MUST is no drinking habits."
Strange but true. This is a part
of an actual advertisement. A
MUST for liquor dispensers is
total abstinence, if efficiency is
the objective. Plane pilots, loco-
motive engineers, hockey play-
ers, (if they wish to reach the
big time), must curb their per-
sonal liberty in this matter. Yes,
even the liquor barons, makers
of beer, wine and hard liquor,
know the facts about indulgence
and the resultant loss of effici-
ency, "Wanted, bartender. A
MUST—no drinking habits."—
