County Game Warden Arthur Day and his assistants have been busy this week furnishing food for quail, part- ridge and other protected game birds that have had their supply cut off by the heavy smow. The distribution of food is being made in an intelligent way and that the birds appreciate what is being done for them is dem- onstrated by the manner in which they get away with the grain that is put out for them.

Entering salaries are $55 per month for men living outside, and 340 per month and full maintenance for those living inside; with probable ear- back, but since the snow came they have been having their difficulties.
