Mannfeld, superintendent, just filed with Richard L’eber, department director. Compared with last year the receipts are: $6,703.72 greater. License sales for the year established a record, 137,054 to fish and hunt in this State being sold, an increase of 5.756 over the number sold the preceding year. A very substantial increase was made over sales in 1918 and 1919. the sales for 1921 exceeding 1918 sales by 44,388 and exceeding those of 1919 by 37.23 C. Tabulation of license sales displays a great difference from the records of the preceding year. In 1020 the license sales increased in all counties of the State except six. In 1921, forty-nine counties increased sales, and forty-three counties recorded losses. Os the forty-nine counties showing gains, thirty-three were southern and sixteen norther n counties. Steuben County made the greatest gain, recording 2,501 licenses sole % over last year. The greatest loss was in St. Joseph County, where sales fell off 878. The ten counties selling the most licenses are: Marion 14.111 Allen 8,284 Lake 6,625 Steuben 4.561 Vigo 4.055 Madison 3.753 Kosciusko 3.556Howard 2.592 Delaware 2,856 Ohio County sold the fewest, number of license*, only fifty-nine, white Switzeriand County, with total sales of sixtyfwo, was a close second. 1.4*7 PEOPLE ARRESTED.

Os this number 1.387 were convicted and paid fines and cost aggregating *32.147.81. Sixty-four persons arrested were acquitted. A comparison of the record for last year shows a gain of 66 in number of arrests, a gain of 62 in the number of convictions and the number of acquitted and untried almost the same. In speaking of law enforcement by state wardens, Mr. Mannfeld says: "Much nas been said and written on the subject of fish and game conservation, some advocates even leaning more to the educational line of bringing about the preservation of wild life, than vig-
Bailiff of Marion County Sees 80th Thanksgiving Charles Renter Tells Friends How He Retains Energies of Youth.
By WALTER D. HICKMAN. Th eightieth Thanksgiving Dry of Charles Kerner of 1341 Fletcher avenue, was being observed today. Although Mr. Kerner will be 81 years of age next May, he has looked forward to his eightieth Thanksgiving Day with as niurh interest as if it was only his twentieth. To interview Mr. Kerner, it is not necessary to go to liis home and chat with him fin a wheel chair, boea’use he is the bailiff of the Marion County grand jury and is at his ofiice each day. “I don’t ride the street ears t work either,” he said. "I nse ’em,” he said pointing to his legs. “Plenty of fresh air—that beeps me young and fit.” Mr. Kerner lives a mile and a half from the 00-.Trthouse and he walks to work unless it is raining. “In speaking of Thanksgivings ’ he said. “I remember two in my life that I never will forget. When I was 9 years old and until I was 12 I sold papers on the streets of New Tork City. While I was selling papers there a French society on Thanksgiving day woulc serve a dinner to all the French boys of the city. And I never missed one of those dinners in those days. “Aftgr the Civil War and during the period of reconstruction I was with the Army in South. Carolina. Some of us
orous enforcement of fish and game laws. Getting away from the police idea of securing law observance will bring no results. It has the same effect as preaching honesty to thieves. They have more respect for police than reformers. FisTi pirates and game hogs have respect only for a warden who makes arrests. The policy of the division is to enforce all game and fish laws witho it fear or favor, and to educate where education will do good.” Despite a very Unfavorable jeason for fish propagation in the four State hateh-

boys decided to have a real Thanksgiving feed. We engaged an old colored mammy to bake us some possum and sweet potatoes. That is the best Thanksgiving dinner L*ever had.” For a man of over 80 years of age, Mr. Kerner hasn’t his equal, his friends contend. lie does not believe In taking “naps” in tpe afternoon but feels that every man should sit down for a lew minutes afler the noon day meal. "It rests his legs,” Mr. Kerner explains. He lias no rules, (that he knows of, for living more than eighty years. If he recognized them as rules they probably would lie like this: Rule One —Plenty of fresh air. Rule Two—More fresh air. Rule Three —And more fresh air. ”1 don't smoke,” lie said. “I chew tobacco.” Mr. Kerner believes that reading newspapers makes him feel younger. He points with pride to nine years of service iu the Union army during the Civil War and the reconstruction petlotl. He can remember when he had nothing but hard tack and a can. of water for a meal. "I ate it and enjoyed it,” he said. "I never complain over what is missing from the table.”
eries due to unprecedented hot weather, the division reared and planted in streams and lakes of this State a total of 10.836,857 baby fish, against 771.266 planted in 1920, and 1,469.235 in 1919, Over nine million young wall-eyed pike hatched from eggs purchased in Michigan, swelled the plants to an unusual record this season. Mr. Mannfeld explains. Because the bass succumbed in ponds to the hot weather before they reached a size to plant, only about one-fourth of the number of these fish were planted, compared to the year previous. The report shews at the beginning of

the fiscal year 1922, there arc 124 fish and game ‘protective associations in Indiana. They are located In eighty-eight counties. A year ago there were 108 associations located in seventy-six counties. “To give the general public a better knowledge of the duties of this division and how executed,’’ says the report, “moving pictules have been made of two important branches of work—fish propagation and the warden service. The elnema is for free exhibition whenever and wherever desired. Responsible clubs or associations organized for wild life protection will be loaned these filmfree If assurance is given they will be properly displayed and promptly returned.” In a summary Mr. Mannfeld says: “If you are among those who aided this division financially in 1921 by purchasing a license to hunt and fish, we thank you for it. While a dollar Is little enough to pay for the privilege of helping one’s self liberally from our resources of wild life, yet in purchasing a license you at least have the satisfaction of knowing that you played some part in protecting and conserving fish, wild animals and birds in your home State. Had this not teen done by you and others, the results recorded in 1921 could not have been brought about.” The report points out that the fish and game division of the State conservation department Is entirely self-sustain-ing, receiving .no funds whatsoever | through legislative appropriations. Its sources of revenue are from hunting anil fishing licenses sold, a small sum when violators are convicted of breaking fish and game laws, providing they pay their j fines and costs, and for permits issued to j harbor ferrets.
