The hunting season for wild ducks, geese, ¢oots, Wilson snipe, gallinules, rails and yellow-legs opens on Sep- tember 16, and closes on December 31.

Hearts Beat Faster.” Many a heart beat faster as a keen pair of eyes gazed longingly at the wonderful list of prizes pictured in the announcement and many a pulse quickened at the realization that every single one of the prizes can be had free—without one cent of cost. “It gseems to good to be-true,” said ‘one young: womal he-had-a person- al chat with thé manager Saturday -evening.

The permissive form of the new game laws places a closed season on every species of game birds for which an open season is not spe- cifically announced. The restrictions regarding ‘the taking of waterfowl with a rifle or a shotgun larger than a ten guage, taking them from a sail or power boat or aeroplane o upon the open water are still in effec*.

An important provision of the new law requires every person taking out (Continued on Page Eight) LARGE ATTENDANCE IS URGED AT LUNCHEON ‘Wednesday'’s regular weekly luncheon of the Bemidji association will be of much interest, and officers are anxious that as many members as posslble arrange to be in attend- ance. Special plans are being made to properly care for ‘the increased numbers of members who are attend- ing these popular luncheons of the association and arrangements now provided for will serve 100 plates. Farmers are specially invited as the potato situation will be discussed. It is expected that the association will be housed in- its attractive new quarters in the City-building early in November. A committee to. ar- range for furnishing and equipping the new home of the civic organiza- tion has been named by R. L. Given, president, as follows: E. A. Barker, chairman; Dr. D. L. Stanton, George W. Rhea and T. J. Burke. Ge+- Enthusiastic. When the manager explained to him that The Pioneer was not figur- ing on making any fortune out of it, but merely introducing a new idea to increase its already large family of readers, he grew more enthusiastic. “The big Oakland is the car for me” said one—*I want a Ford” said another. It is just wondertul—all plumb full of “pep” and enthusiasm and determined to start out and win. Although the campaign will not start in real earnest for a few days, names are coming in and candidates may start right out gathering votes.

An -important meeting of Ralph Gracie Post, of the American Legion, will be held in the rooms of the Be- midji association in theNangle block, at 8 o'clock this evening. Not only members of the post are urged to be present, but every returned soldier,, sailor, marine and Ked Cross nurse,] who has been honorably discharged from service, is asked to attend the session and become affiliated with the legion. One of the chief functions of the meeting this evening will be the adoption of a constitution and woy- laws. Another important matter to be attended to will be' the planning of an active ‘membership campaign, to be waged between now and the na- tional convention of tng legion to be held in Minneapolis on “Armistice Day.” National officials are plan- ning to have a membership of 1,000, 000 by November. Of this number, Minnesota is expected to provide 26,- 035, and of this total 20,000 have already been enrolled.
