On the recent opening of the river
fish season the Blizzard fish editor drops
onto this conclusion: "All lovers of the
piscstorisl sport should curb their appe-
tite aud keep within the restrictions,
which limits the catch of bass to 20 a day
for each fisherman. The law does not
say that he has to catch 20, but that he
must not 90 beyond that number. For
most Of us 1t is a very safe and reasonable
law"

Here is a pointer for almost any town:
Down in Jersey Shore the Civic Commit
tee is now in the midst of a new scheme
for identifying the town. Photographs
are being privately taken Of unsightly
back yards, corners, etc., which will be
made into lantern slides and thrown upon
the canvas in local moving picture houses.
1t is thought that the owner will immedi-
ately recognize his property, as will
many of his n%eighbors, which the ON
mittee hopes will bring a speedy reform.
The plan is a good one. Try it.
r. M. Herman's second we'll on the
Kelly lot up town will make a small
producer in the Lyle sand, but is being

Bank land, on the hill across the river,
will be drilled in today. The tannery
gas we'll at West Hickory is delayed by
a fishing job, the tools being lost in the

the Queen sand and the we'll was being
drilled on to the Speechley sand.
