Members of the Nortnern Arizona Game Protective Association here are much pleased at recent actiyn by Congress in thoroughly approving the Federal Migratory Bird Law. Thss approval is shown in two separate and distinct actions by the Congress that adjourned on Sept.

8. On August 13 the Senate sustained the Federal Migratory Bird Law by a vote of 52 to 8, the law having been previously approved by the House. The particular measure was- an appropriation of $50,000.00 to enforce the law during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1916, which appropriation was passed by both houses of Congress. On August 29 the Senate ratified the International Migratory Bird Protection treaty with Canada which simply means that Canada has now agreed to follow the same principle that the United States is doing in protecting migratory birds during certain months of the year, as is well known many of our game birds summer breed in Canada. This specific action by Congress will put at rest any doubts ever entertained by anyone as to the of the Federal Migratory Bird Law.

Arizona duck hunters will do well to read the above and re member that the Federal Bird Law supercedes the State bird law and that the open season for ducks in Arizona is from October 15 to February .1, Also the Association calls attention to the fact that all resident and nonresident Arizona licenses bear this clause: "Where State and Federal law conflicts, the Federal law governs." Also, that the Northern Arizona Game Protective Association will prosecute vigorously any violations of the Federal Migratory Bird law brought to its notice. Association members also call attention to the fact that the Agriculture Appropriation Act recently passed by Congress authorizes the creation of game refugse on lands purchases for forest purposes under the Weeks Law in the Southern Appalach ians and the New England States which can be taken as an approval by Congress of the Chamberlain-Hayden Game Re-J luge Bill. 1 rnnil i uiinnm I Cfi 5: mm A.

Guthrie Hon. Fred T. Colter and wife are in the city, guests at the Barth Hotel. A CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our heart felt thanks for the great kindness and sympathy bestowed on us in the sad affliction and death of our darling babe. Though we were strangers in a strange land we did not realize it, for we learned to love the good people who rallied to our aid and by kind deeds and sympathy sought to allay our grief.

Twice in the hour of trouble have the dear people come to our aid and they have twined themselves as it were 'round our hearts by bonds too strong to be severed, and as we said, when our little boy was lost in the mountains at Phoenix Park, there can be no "barrier so strong that we would not succumb," to aid our dear friends, who showed by every word and deed that they were our friends. With best wishes and love we are your everlasting friends. The Bunger Family. The "Left" Canididate The "left" candidate had just got the figures footed up when he was approached, by an old-friend who extended his hancP and said: "Sorry very sorry. I know I got on 200 slips for you." The first old" friend had only gone when the second came in and remarked: "Well, that beats me.

I worked hard all day, and I know I got on 250 of your slips." He went away and the third, fourth and fifth old friends showed up with about the same figures. The "left" appeared to be nettled with the last, for he turned on him with. "Now, then, while I ran even with my ticket, my friends got me about 1,400 extra votes, and yet I am defeated by 400 majority. I can't figure it out." "Oh, you can't" sneered the old friend. "Well, if the party makes a mistake in putting up the unpopular man, I refuse to be held responsible for the blunder." Jesse Lewis and mother, of Ramah, N.

M. were visiting Mrs. Isaac Isaacson Jr. last week. They returned home this week.
