One Month; Canada to Take Similar Action WILL OPEN OCTOBER 1 Under Previous Regulations Season Lasting Three Months Was Permitted Washington, Aug. 25 —(#)— The hunting season of ducks, whose num- bers have been seriously depleted by drought, was,shortened to one month Tuesday by a proclamation issued by President Hoover. The prociamation also applies to geese, brant and coots throughout the United States and Alaska. Canadian authorities are expected by the biological survey to take sim- ilar action soon. The principal breed- ing grounds in northeastern United States and in western and southwest- ern Canada have been dried up by drought over the last three years. In the northern part of the United States the season, under the new re- gulations, will open October 1 and close October 31. The seasons on jacksnipe, sora, woodcock and droves have not been changed. Under the old regulations the length of the season averaged about three months. Drought conditions on the principal feeding grounds, the biological survey said, convinced federal and dominion conservation officials that “irrepar- able damage would result if measures were not adopted to, reduce the kill and to preserve an adequate stock of birds for breeding.” ————___—___—_—_—____? | Two Men Caught by ' Woman Will Serve |; | Penitentiary Term ——— *—Ghwo men charged with violet- ing the North Dakota game laws upon complaint of Mrs. Frank Roberts, near Amidon, have been sentenced to serve six years in the South Dakota state peni- tentiary for burglary, according to an Associated Press dispatch. ; The pair.

Gifford. Representatives of nation-wide wel- fare and charity organizations were called in Tuesday by the national relief director to work out the plan and attempt to fix a time for it. The amount to be raised has not been determined. Gifford hopes, however, to get the campaign under way as soon as possible in order that the money may be on hand when winter arrives. Among those invited to the con- ference were: Allen T. Burns, direc- tor of the Community Chest associa~ tion; Linton B, Swift, of the Family Welfare association; Sage foundation, and the Rev. J O'Grady, of the National Cath- olic Welfare conference. Gifford said he hoped to arrange for these organizations to conduct their appeals for funds simultaneous- “Such a period can then be recom- mended to all organizations over the country interested in raising money for relief,” he added, “in order that there may be a nation-wide appeal. It is not an appeal for a national fund, but for maximum local funds.” The relief director said no plans have ben. made fora national fund. Questioned about what would be done if localities failed to raise the neces- organiza. tion, he said, is to see that “every city and every state is free from acute Minneapolis.

Action was taken at the suggestion of Police Judge E. 8. Allen in a re- port submitted through City Auditor M._H. Atkinson. This report showed that the city has some $600 in unpaid fines on its books and the worst of it is that some of the offenders are still coming back. One man is on the list for six differ- ent fines. Allen said it does no good to put them in jail, for some of the chronic offenders like it there. The food is better than they get on the outside. And besides it costs the city 70 cents @ day per man. Under the scheme approved by the commission the men will be armed with scythes and set to work ridding the streets, alleys and vacant lots of noxious weeds. Their work will be credited against their fines. The city will feed them at the same cost as though they were in jail. Allen was completing detatis of the plan Tuesday and the first of the “fine” squads is expected to make its appearance shortly.
