FEDERAL SEASON FOR
DUCKS OPENS OCT. 1
The federal season for ducks and
geese opens October 1 and not Hep
tembor 1, as reported . yesterday in
these columns. An error in inform
ing of the dates caused the mistake of
one month in the dates.
- Inasmuch as the state game author
ities recognize the priority of the fed
eral law, the opening date of October
1 must be observed, rather than "the
state's date of September IS. The
state, however, can close the season
ahead of the federal law, so the De
cember 31 closing date of the state
takes precedence. Thus are 15 days
cut off the season.

said this afternoon. I am not seek-,
ing the office. .The only consideration
under which I will run is that the
committee finds no one else in the
party who is willing to run or appears
to bo qualified."
Sheriff Taylor declared again today
that he would prefer to attend to his
private business interests as soon as
tho unexpired term has been served
out. He did say, however, that in
came no one else can be found and he
is still the choice of the party, he
probably would accept the nomination.
