1 < <*d Birds and Conserve Them
.Si dman, local game war
den' iii receipt of a letter from Sec
Litiic of the Arkansas Game
arid Fish Commission, in which he
is urged to ask the farmers in this '
section to assist in a movement to
c .t.s '-ve quail.
The etter says in part:
“In order that as few quail as pos
sible \yill perish on account of the
scarcity of food and exposure in the
sections of the country that are now
covered with snow, I wish you would
use every possible means to have
grain put out by the farmers and
any others interested, so that the
quail will have something to eat un
til the snow melts.”
Mr. Stedman says farmers can
feed quail on their farms and protect
them as much as possible from’“pot
hunters.” He states if something is
not done we will not have any quail
next year.
Backward, Oh
Backward, Etc.
Yes, you have been wafted back
several years, haven’t you? Re
member the good old days when you
were sitting by your fireside and
smiled as a joyous party of sleigh
riders passed by ? Remember how
the bells jingled? Those were the
good old days. It sometimes seems
that modern invention has taken
nearly all the joy out of life. Right
now we have plenty of snow, just
right for sleigh riding. But there is
a woeful scarcity of horses to draw
the sleigh. Where the horse used
to toil, the automobile has been
placed. But no automobile can take
you sleigh riding. However, a few
have arranged to enjoy the pastime,
and it looks and sounds good.

QUALITY
CLOTHES
Cheap clothes are a mighty poor invest
ment. They look cheap, wear out quickly
and are never well-fitted or satisfactory
in any way. One of our well-made, cor
rect-fitting suits invariably give satisfac- j
tion as to wear, style, comfort and appear
ance—and the cost is not unreasonable;
in fact, it is quite low, considering the
high price of all materials that go into the
making. We bought advantageously.
