Cunning Season Opens
With Game Abundant

warned not to mistake the ducks for
their relative, the mud hen.
From Cape May county to the far
north of the State, gunners turned out
today, and at noon reports from At
lantic City and adjacent points showed
that the male population of the sum
mer colony is resting It's nerves after
the jammed down lid episode by burn
ing powder along the beaches and in
neighboring sWamps.
Under the present game laws the
State Is divided into several game sec
tions, and ducks in the northern sec
ton cannot be shot until October 10.
Already the ingenuity of gunners liv-
ing in other States in trying to evade
the $40 license fee for non-residents
has been exhibited, and needlessly, for
water wild owl are migratory, and one
can shoot in New Jersey without talk
ing out a license or being a resident.
Along the shore there have been a
number of automobile parties organ
lied, and gunners from Philadelphia
and New York will try the good spots
along the coast.

FIGHT FOR PURE
SODA WATER WILL
. SWEEP COUNTRY
National Association of Manu-

Atlantic City Tomorrow.

pure soda water and better organi-
zation of manufacturers for the enforce
ment of the pure food laws" will be the
slogan at the annual meeting of the
National Soda Fountain Association in
Atlantic City tomorrow.
The manufacturers will change the
name of their association to the ma
tional Pure Soda Water League" The
change will be to signify that those who
belong to the association are working
to guarantee to the public unadulterated
soda water, under sanitary conditions.
The association will fight against ether
lied flavors used in cheap sod that is
SO injurious to the system.
So as to further protect the public it
Is likely that an auxiliary Of the manu-
facturers' association. composed of re-
tail dealers who dispense pure soda, will
be formed, and that retailers who sell
pure soda will be given a certificate,
and the wholesaler who belongs to the
organization will have a special label
on his goods as a guarantee of purity.
The organization will seek the CO.
operation OF the State Board of Health
in the various New Jersey cities in the
crusade.
Otto Brant, a local wholesaler, said
today: "You can go In certain sections
and buy soda water for "a cents a case,
and this stuff is certainly not up to the
requirements of the pure food act. This
organization would stop the sale of this
injurious soda"

oysters were on the bill of fare today
for the first day of the season. There
was such a brisk demand for the

all orders. Heretofore the season has
usually opened dull, with small orders,
but the cool weather of the last week Is
believed to have stimulated the public's
appetite.
New Jersey oyster men report that
the beds promise a record supply, and
that as the season progresses the de-

wide publicity would have a depressing
effect on the oyster market, but the
early orders Of the hotels, restaurants
and retailers indicated that no such
effect had beer felt.

PEOPLES PULPIT.
Tho Parcels Post.

Readers of the Courier:
I. for one cannot agree that the peo-
pie need parcels post I am opposed to
parcels post, but some say it would
be a good thing for the farmers, prob
ably they could send the products Of
their farms to market by mail.
I don't see why any farmer should
be in favor of such. On a rural route
carrier must go his trip daily and
handle the already heavy mail and
what could he do If we had parcels
post? 1 say and know where of
speak, that in many places two horses
would not near be able to make the
trip daily, and l don't think the carrier
could take care Of the mail in a com
mon buggy or in the average mail
wagon Where he has from two hun
of mail daily and you did the parcels
post, l wish some one would tell me
how the carrier Is going to deliver all
without heavy express wagon?
/ have heard the remark that the
| farmer would be willing to give the
| carrier a little extra for carrying the
| packages to him. With all respect to
the farmer l must say where there Is
| one ready and willing to give the car
| rier ten cents, there are manv who
would expect it for nothing. Those in
| favor Of parcels post say the express
company's charges are too high. Take
| for instance the farmer needing a pair
of shoes of fifty cents worth of sugar,
press companies loose anything on that
as l Judge the shoes would be pur-
chased in store in the town from

TWO PHILOSOPHERS.

The Rev. John A Earl Of Chicago
may think that the theater Is eX
tremely wicked, and the Rev. Liston
D. Bass Of St. Louis may believe that
working girls are q pretty hard lot,
but there is no need Of their attacking
the subjects with bludgeons. Just
witness the views expressed as to the
theater by the Rev. Mr.. Earl:
Every time you buy ticket to
the theater remember that that tick
ct is printed in blood and stained
with the tears of ruined women.
"Some of the men and women most
loudly lauded by the press as stars in
the profession are leprous with moral
disease
There might be few good men
and pure women on the stage, but II
would take much work with a search
light to find them
This is charitable view to express
from the pulpit, isn't it? One can IL
most imagine he sees the heroic poise
of the speaker as in a voice choked
with emotion and in one of those "it
pains me more than it does you, my
friends" tones he casts into perdition
the members of profession with
whom he has probably no closer &C
workmanship than is afforded by a
perusal Of the magazines.
The Rev. Mr.. Bass treated his sub
ject in the same broad way He said.
"A girl is not justified in working
in any Office or public place until she
base gone the limit in trying to get
work in a household 1t is dangerous
| for a girl to go into a mans Office
and accept his money, even If she
works for it.
"By constant association with a man
or men in an Office girl loses some
thing that she can never put back
1t is the constant suggestion she gets
there that weakens her character and
her ideas of men, and like constant
dripping, wears away her guard until
| she finally goes down under it,
/ The Rev. Mr.. Bass does not make
any exceptions to this rule he has
outlined Every girl that works in an
Office, according to his way of looking
at it. just starts on the toboggan and
never stops until there is a bump al
the bottom of the hill.
One is constrained to wonder Just
why these philosophers insist on pos
ing as authorities on questions O1
which they know so little. The man
whether he be a minister or yeggma1
who believes that all the women O
the stage are bad because there arr
a few notorious characters among
them, or who believes that no girl car
