The county cq:rnlttee reserves the right to bar objectionable persons from the game preserve, and the funds obtained ob-tained from the sale of special licenses be used to police the area against poachers, to provide winter win-ter game preserves and game feeding feed-ing arrangements, and to finance other forms of game management which combine to make the county exceptionally "good hunting." - Average daily sales of general merchandise in rural areas reached .he highest. point since 1929 last month, and showed almost a 32 per cent advance from August to September, the latest bureau of commerce report shews.
