Sy ARG et . Those Game Laws Again Leader Gets Another Letter— Are the Game Laws Fair to the Farmer is Question Brinsmade, N. D., Feb. 1, 1917. "Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I have been wishing for several yvears that I could do something toward changing the city man's game laws, and now that I have seen your recent letters on the subject I would add my mite to a good cause. ¥ - I have a winchester pump and am a fajr shot. I like to hunt and like es- pecially well to have a chicken for Sun- day dinner, after eating salt pork all weel. Here is my experience with chickens and hunting during 1915. & - In the spring I turned out with plow, harrow and drill to avoid six chicken nests. As I drilled I put a peck of grain by each of the nests to feed the setting hens. Several times when my outfit frightened the hen from her nest the crows tried to get the eggs, and I chas- ed them ‘away. That fall I was fortu- nate enough to shoot two chickens. % . And I know that dozens of chickens were killed on my farm the first weeks of hunting while I was harvesting and threshing. 2 2 I am asked why I do not post my land. Because, as one of my neighbors so truthfully said: “The signs wouldn’t last a week.” 2 Here is what the majority of hunting signs in this country say: When the sign is up at all the “No” is usually gone. I know of but one farmer who keeps hunters off of his land, and that keeps him busy most of the hunting season. The town folks call him a crank-and one Sunday while WOULDN'T CHANGE LAW Forbes, N. D., Feb. 3, 1917. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I read letters on sporting in the Nonpartisan Leader. I am not in favor of changing the season to No- vember 1 because it is so cold then that the birds are wild and the ducks are moving south rapidly. I think the season could not be any better than what it is. In regard to the dogs, there are as many of us farmers that have dogs as there are town people and also he and his family were to church some one shot his tame ducks right in his yard. To make the game laws fair to the farmer- as well as to insure the future of chickens and grouse in North Da- kota, I believe that the legislature should: 1. Prohibit the use of the automatic. 2. Prohibit hunting with dogs. 3. Lower the limit of chickens and grouse to five a day. 4. Make the chicken season from October 1 to December 1. 5. Prohibit bird dogs running at large. 6. Impose a large fine and imprison- ment for shooting or destroying *“No Hunting” signs, and for hunting on posted land. Farmers and sportsmen, what say you?’ BERT M. SALISBURY. THOSE WHO “BACKSLID” Jessie, N. D., Feb. 10, 1917. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I think it is only fair and right for us farmers who voted for and elected those representatives and senators who have backslidden and worked dead against us to express our opinions of them. My neighbors and self are heartily ashamed of our representative of the Sixteenth district, Mr. E. W. Everson, - with whom we are personally acquaint- ed. I am not acquainted with the other gentlemen backsliders but suppose they are just as bad as Mr. Everson. Now I know their names though I am not ac- quainted with them and do not wish to be. I think I will just give their names here, as it might help some other old farmer to remember who they are. Names of gentlemen who hit the icy slope are as follows: Mr. E. 'W. Ever- son, Mr. M. S. Lang, Mr. Charles F. Schick, Mr. L. D. Wiley. Now it seems to me if the people liv- ing around those gentlemen’s homes felt as they do around here, the gentle- men would be very much ashamed on arriving home. In fact, if their con- science is not entirely seared over 1 think they would feel better if they keep right on going indefinitely. Mr. Editor, this is just the way 1 feel on this question and if this letter is too rank, I reckon yeu keep a waste basket pretty handy. JAS. A. M'CULLOCH.

Sure you've heard about Aultman:Taylor Gasoline-Kerosené Tractors and the big work they are doing in every part of America. They've made good in the Northwest and everywhere else—they’ll make good on your farm, your neighbor's farm or any place you want to work une. They are built for service—not low price.That's the reason they make good on every job. Aultman-Taylor Tractors are built in three sizes—a size to fit your farm. If farming a quarter of a section or more, you cannot afford to buy any other tractor without first seeing the Aultman-Taylor. After you have studied its design—the workmanship and examined the quality of material used, you'll say: “Nothing but an Aultman-Tavlor for me." Aultman-Taylor Tractors are noted for their extreme fuel economy, whether using gasoline or kerosene for fuel—the cost for repairs is unusually low.

Convenient to all depots; half Right in the Retail Shopping { there are the older men that can not i get out and wake the chickens up. If the farmers close to ‘town are bothered by hunting dogs let them put in a complaint. See that the laws are reinforced. I do mot think that the dogs should be turned loose to be train- ed until September 7, because they only make the chickens wild, so when the season opens you can not get near them. I think that the farmer should have a perfect right to shoot the ducks and geese in the spring as well as in the fall, because they are not a native bird of North Dakota. A. E. BOBBE. DIVET'S LETTER California. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: . - Have just read Mr. Divet's reply te Mr. Townley’s challenge. The most vulgar man is the one who parades his superiority before the world. His ar- i ticle is as rank “an exhibition of ill- 3 #., manners and lack of breeding” as ever got into print. If there was any merit -] in his contentions he would be willing E to submit them to the people. His E ccntempt of justice and of public —BEST IN THE WEST— The following letter shows ‘the splendid results another ad- vertiser has received by using the Nonpartisan Leader. There are good reasons why Leader advertisers get big results; and the principal one is that the Leader goes into the homes of the well-to-do people in the Northwest, the ones who are buying goods every day.
