RABBIT AND QUAIL • SEASON OPENS NOVEMBER 10: WARM WEATHER WILL MAKE RABBITS UNFIT FOR TABLE USE, MANY HUNTERS FEAR. QUAIL PLENTIFUL IN CERTAIN SECTIONS, " Houn' dogs aren't getting kicked around tbfcse days- No, sir! Mr. Hound is just about to enjoy his day as every dog is sure to once a year if he is worth belonging to someone. For November 10th is approaching and owners are sending "Carlo" into the brush lands and then perking an attentive ear to see if "Carlo" has forgotten how to, "sing the newa" since last autumn. The season opens for rabbits, quail, squirrel, partridge ' and pheasants on the. tenth of No's vember, and those "in the know" say that there are plenty of rabbits and quail, and accredit the dry weather of last summer for the game-/ One fly in the ointment for rabbit hunters, is that the continued warm weather has made the season late; = for it is generally accepted that rabbits are better for the table a^ter a ffost or two. Besides, dogs find it hard trailing over punk dry land. It takes dampness on the grass and leaves' to hold the scent of "Brer Rabbit," and in such dry weather it i% hard for the hound to hold his reputation of never losing the trail. 'Then too, it's hard on the hunter when the sun is< so warm that the box of "eights" or "sixes" in his coat pocket seems to weigh as much as • an anvil after a couple of hours tramping. But It's the Life But no matter what happens there are a lot of men in the county who are going to enjoy themselves immensely for some days-to come. Up before dawn, (into haunting togs, a hasty breakfast and then into the woodscrisp autumn air that bites just a little, a hike into the fields or the woods just putting on those wonderful colors of fall — and the day is begun. Every man who Has missed the o"- . portunity of listening to the bay of >the hounds ringing thru the clear, ' cool autumn air and the exhilirating expectancy of seeing Mr. Cottontail popping out of a by-path or. zipping past his nose in the underbrush, has m\ssed something which would have somehow made him a better beingClean, wholesome sport that demands' a knowledge of the habits of the wild life, "steady hand and quick eye combined with the out-of-doors, is something that cannot be substituted for. Or, perhaps, the sportsman prefers bird shooting. A still more exciting ■ sport even if not attended by the music of the hounds. The bird shooter sticks, more often to the open., "fields and depends on. the setter or •pointer's nose and steadfastness to tell him where the crouching bird is " — tense, alert, ready f© spring ato the air like a bullet and speed to safety. The hunter's .nerves" are taut, his eye sharpened and. his senses ("luiokened as he. walks toward the spot where his faithful dumb companion tells hfm the-, game lies. The hunter brings about the. crisis time after time by walkmg.the game from its dbvert, and, hit or rhiss, he* gets the exhiliration of the morhent And at the qlose of the day, with thiol d faithful briar sending a curl 'of blue smoke skyward, a heavy game pocket, "and a sense of peace with all the world, the hunter returns ready •to take up the routine of life with iqore contentment and satisfaetion- • THAT HOME FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS "The new movement of the local American Legion to provide a. hoijje for disabled soldiers is one which doest .the* members credit, and should put j , to shame the slow acting legislatures that: seem to have forgotten the boys who gave so much to their AmericaWhile the Bonus bone of contention leaps into the columns oj the pfess quite frequently, as do other pet items; the care of the crippled boys— I the heroes of yesterday — the nobodies of today, seems to get run onto blind; siding: The bonus question is one • that should be, settled, sometimeBut the care of the cripples should ; * - be settled now, and to the shame of the country it is lagging. . It is iiatural that the -members of "" the Legion should turn th6ir thoughts ' to the care of their- more unfortunate comrades. They know what their buddies went through and what they •re going through now— jobless, willing and able to work eksoldiers are '

pitiful enough; shame enough; but the pity of an uneared for helpless hero cannot be put into words. The following lines frpm Australia should cause a sphinx to think and shed tears of pity, yet it takes more than tears, it takes action ahd dollars to care for these lads.
