Lay Away From the Squirrels During July.

The new fish and game laws enacted last winter are to be rigidly enforced, declares the deputy fish and game commissioners of the state. Especial attention at this time is directed to the fact that the Closed season for squirrels continues until August Ist and does not end with July Ist, stipulated in the old law. Deputy game commissioners declare they have information that people are plannng to hunt squirrels this month, some through ignorance that the law has been changed and others who expect to evade the law and trust to their good luck to escape prosecution. Squirrels must not be killed during July. It is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $lO for every squirrel killed, destroyed or held in one’s possession.
