"Miss Janis entered the movies
(or '-re-entered, -for more than a
decade ago she was featured In
several pictures), after an agree
ment last year with a prominent
Sportsmen, and the Trespass :Signs
, Time was when, hunters ranged
freely through, any , woodland or
field, and '.trespass signs were all
bnt unknown, but this was before
the land ' was thickly settled.
Farmers.'- had not yet found It
necessary toi pick bird shot from
the flinching hide of a favorite
cow. Nor had they, discovered
the faithful animal stark in death,
with a Tjullet through - her vitals.
There were not many fences In
those days, and so there were not
many gates to wofry about, or
wires to break, or boards to pry
away. The brotherhood df hunt
er . and of - sportsman was an
agreeable bond, for the farmer was
not constrained to 'follow his live
stock Into the next township as
pride for the entertainment of ,
unbidden guests. 'And there -wore
not, since we are on the subject
so many hunters - as -now. Such
hunters as went afield wcro also
men who' Were somewhat familiar
with tho problems of agriculture.
Many -of them had passed their
boyhoods on farms. They knew
the hazards of an open giito or a
broken fence, and they Justified
the confidence of their friends In
the- country.
Though a certain minor pcrotnl
age ' of 'the trespass signs 'that
bloom so forbiddingly today' have
been placed -whore they nro by
grouches, by men with very bump
tious concepts of proporty rights,
this newspaper 1r of the opinion
that by ' far the greater' number
of Such signs have been Installed
by farmers who have learned, to
their loss, -that not every individ
ual In outing clothes Is a sports
man. -Wo believe that only after
Innumerable'- vexations,' annoy
ances, and flngrant violations of
properly rights, -have many farm-
crs decided to forbid the entrance
of hunters and of fishermen lo
their lands.' It Is very odd to re
fleet that men who. In their 'own
offices or In their own homes In
the cty, would wrathfully resent
the -slightest Infringements of their
proprietorship, leave- open gntes
behind them when afield after
game, destroy fences with stupid,
vandal . nonchalance, - and fact
If one sums It up ;as though they
were especially licensed to disre
gard the decencies as they disre
gard the rights of the farmer and
the laws of property. It Is asking
too much of the farmer to urge
