JOHNNY GETS
GUN LICENSE

Johnny get your gun, but don't over
look the license. 1t was just such over
sight as this that cost John Dixon a
fine of twenty dollars and then some
thing extra to satisfy the constable and
justice.
The last legislature passed law max
ing it necessary for a man carrying .
gun through the country, yhether in
search of protected game or otherwise,
to fortify himself with license at 3
cost of one dollar.
When Dixon, who has been working
at Shoshone for several months, heard
of some bear in the Devff's hole country
he took up his rifle and started in
search Of Bruin and was successful. He
killed one old bear and two cubs, but
that bear meat turned to dear meat as
soon as Charley Gilmer, the game war
den, found out what had happened.
When brought before Justice White
Dixon entered plea of guilty and dug
up the minimum fine of twenty five and
trimmings and then went down to tho
county clerks office and invested in q
gun license and started back to his
work just as though nothing had hap
pened, but we pity the bear that gets
in his way from this time on.

to Be Eventually Consol-

FIRST STEP is TAKEN
Concern Nucleus for Big
Deal With Others Likely to
Follow.

| New York, March 11.-Consolidation
of large automobile interests, having
an aggregate capital of several hun
dred million dollars. is believed to be
under way. ]. P. Morgan & Co. will
finance the undertaking, It Is under
stood.
The first report Of this gigantic mer-
ger gained circulation uaeel 1t became
known that J. P. Morgan & Co, in &C
cordance with an agreement with the
stockholders of the Studebaker Bros.
Manufacturing company, had purchas-
ed all of the stock Of the Everitt-Metz-
ger-Flanders company OF Detroit that
was not already owned by members Of
the Studebaker firm. 1t was said that
the price paid for the 81 per cent of
the Detroit company's stock bought
for the Studebakers was nearly $1,000.
600.
New Company Formed.
Following this came the news that
the Studebaker Vehicle company of
New York was incorporated yesterday
with a capital OF $4,000. 900 to manu-
facture automobiles and other vehicles
and supplies. Some Of the automobile
companies which, 1t is said, may enter
into the big combine are the United
States Automobile company of larry
town. N. Y, which owns the Maxwell
Briscoe Motor Car company; the Co
Iumbus Motor Car company of Hart
ford, and the Brush Runabout COM
pany of Detroit.
Greater Merger I'm View.
According to rumor, there is at pres
ent at work in the automobile manu-
featuring field a steady tendency to-
ward consultations policy that in
time is likely to lead to a still greater
combination OF these interests Not
long ago the General Motors company
was organized to control three or more
Of the prominent factories in the mid
die west. Still more recently the
United States Motor company took
over a similar number of concerns in
the east.
When the automobile world began to
investigate who were back of these
two mergers 1t was found that one of
the moving spirits in the General Mo
tors company was Herbert L. Satter-
ele, son-in-law of J. P. Morgan. When
the United States Motor company was
organized, with the Maxwell-Briscoe
company as it's nucleus. 1t was found
that Herbert l.. Satterele was one of
the leaders in that move also.
May Unite In One.
What the prophets expect to see now
is more OF these same combinations,
two or three or four firms grouping to-
gether at a time Then some day
maybe in one year, or two years, or a
dozen years-they expect to see these
groups get together In larger groups.

SET MATCH DATE.
Spelling Bee for Seventh and
Eighth Grades of Schools
to Be Held March %.
YOUNG FOLKS IN PRACTICE
Prizes TO Be Awarded Winners of the
Event Which Is to Take Place
to Be Held March 81.

Thursday evening. March 81, has
been settled upon as the date for the
spelling match between the boys of
the ward schools of the city. On that
evening, in the Y. Nj. c. A. auditorium,
teams Of five boys each, representing
all the seventh and eighth grades of
the city schools, will contest for hon.
ors. and prizes in the arena of the
spelling book.
AS the time draws nearer, the inter
est in this contest increases. Proba-
bly, there has never been such an In
tense interest in the spelling work in
the city schools as there is today. In
all the schools that are to participate
the children, boys and girls. are work
ing tremendously to master the list of
words assigned by Superintendent Hay
den for the match.
Daily Matches.
Spelling matches are almost of daily
occurrence in some of the schools, and
these matches are enlisting the entire
student body in the grades concerned.
Mr. Hayden explains one of the bene-
fits of the plan in this way: While
the spelling match in a room is in
progress every child in the room is
following every word as it is given
out, and is spelling the word mentally
with the one who spells it orally. Thus
perhaps so children are concentrating
their whole thought upon their spell
ing work with new interest.
Next week Mr.. Hayden and Secre-
tary Smedley Of the Y. NJ. G. A will
visit the schools to display the pennant
and other prizes which are to be award
ed to the winners. 1t is expected that
this will bring the interest to a still
higher degree.
May BE Annual Event.
1t is planned, in case the contest is
as popular as it promises to be, to
make it an annual event, giving the
children of the seventh and eighth
grades a chance each year to win hon
ors in spelling. The plan is being pro-
NOTED by the Y M C. A. for the pur-
pose of advancing the children in this
most important study.
