The season opens for quail and rabbits, and the pop of the gun in the chase after this game will be heard in every section of the State. The open season on quail runs from November 10 to January 1. The open season for rabbits is from November 10 to December 1. Reports from all over the State Bay that there are large numbers of quail and rabbits, as the weather has been conducive to their growth. The hunting season on wild geese, ducks and other fowl is from Septem ber 1 to April 1. As these are to be found principally in the marsh and lake regions of Northern Indiana comparatively few people have opportunity to hunt them. Illinois Wardens Instructed. Springfield, 111., November 10. State Game Commissioner J. A. Wheeler has finished his task of giving deputy game wardens of the State their ante-season instructions. The an nual quail season opens tomorrow. The law read from November 10 to December 10, but a construction of the law by the attorney- general excludes the two dates as legal hunt ing days. The season, therefore, will open with November 11, on which date and not before it will be proper from the standpoint of the law to shoot quail. Game Commissioner Wheeler has instructed his force of wardens to. place under arrest anyone found hunting quail today or on December 10. The depart ment anticipates little trouble this year in regulating the hunters.

This year, however, it was done conclusively, a Winchester Repeating Shotgun and Winchester Factory Loaded Shells in the hands of a skillful shot accomplishing this hitherto unheard of feat.

Bills, who won the Official Season©s Aver age for "Double" targets, with 90%, and three others of the first ten shooters in this class, also used Winchester Repeating Shotguns. When it comes©to shooting "Doubles," some repeating shotguns fall down hard, but the Winchester stands right up at the top, not only excelling all other repeaters, but double guns, too. The scores for 1910 can be analyzed, dissected, separated or segregated, but the victories won and records made with Winchester Shotguns and Shells will still show that to get the most uniform and satisfactory results
