New Trout Law Wanted.

At the next meeting of the Legis-
lature an effort will be made to have
the law relating to trout fishing
changed so that there will be no limit
to the size of fish caught but the limit
as to the number caught will be re-
tanned. At present the law says that
no trout less than six inches may be
retained when caught, and fisher
man is limited to 40 in one day.
Old experts, who have knowledge
whereof they talk, and one of them
is Fish Commissioner Butler, say
that when a trout of less than six in
ches in size is caught, removed from
the hook and then thrown back into
the water, it invariably dies. Where

tact with the trout II Injuries the fish

It, so that throwing a fish back into
the water, no matter how well meant,
does not save the trout. This has
been proven time and again. A

Mothers Form an Organization 3
Protect Their Marriageable
Daughters.

Catlin, H., March 21.-The moth
ers of Catlin, with view of protect
ing their daughters through investi-
cation of the standing and character
of suitors, have formed a Mother
Protective Association and plan to
extend it to other cities and central
Illinois.
With the intercity association the
mothers of one city can get informa-
ton from another concerning any
young man who may come counting
from a distance.
Here are the points which the
mothers will ask to be enlightened
upon when a suitor appears:
Does he smoke cigarettes?
Does he drink?
Is he known to be profane or vul-
gar?
Does he read good books?
Does he go to church or Sunday
school?
Does he spend his evenings at
home or in saloons?
Is he considerate of his mother
and sisters?
What are his business prospects?
In addition there are a number OF
blanks in the form to be filled in
with additional information not COW
cred by these questions.

The State Department Received Over
1,5OO of the Petitions This Year.

Chief Clerk George d. Thorn, of
the State Department, Harrisburg, es-
Inmates that fully 500 nominating
petitions were on file at the State
Capitol for congressional, senatorial
and legislative nominations and that
all records would be broken. 1t was
figured out that there were between
1900 and 400 nominations on file,
but later scrutiny showed that over
l 500 were in the files.
The highest previous record was in
1910, when ,490 petitions were en-
tered for the same nominations, but
this year, owing to activity of the
Prohibitionists and Socialists in max
ing nominations, the difference made
by failure of Keystoners to nominate
has been more than made up. Seven
petitions which arrived at the Harris
burg postoffice after midnight on
Saturday were rejected, three of them
did not come in until Monday morn
ing.
The department rejected four pc
titions to be candidates for Senator
in the Fourth Philadelphia district
where Senator e. L. Tustin resigned
and the vacancy there will have tC
be filled by a special election, fol
which papers will be filed later on.
Monday morning Clerks W. |
Fleming, ]. c. Deininger, Harry
Preston and James K. LeLancy be
gan the big task of comparing the
nominating petitions with the en-
tries in the records and when that il
finished the certification of nomina
| tions to counties will begin. The las
petitions were not entered until al
most midnight or twenty-four hours
after the time for receiving then
closed, this being due to the rusf
on Saturday night, which was beyond
all precedent.

BOY SCOUTS
EDITED BY
ONE OF THEM
Boy Scouts Help Save Chestnut
Trees in Pennsylvania.

BOY scouts Help save Chestnut
Trees in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania Boy Scouts are CO.
operating with the State Department
OF Forestry in preserving the wild
chestnut trees. A disease Is destroy
ing hundreds of the trees throughout
the state, and the situation is so dan
gerous that the state legislature has
appointed a commission to investi-
gate the spread of the blight. A
great difficulty, however, lies in find
ing the afflicted trees In this work
the Boy Scouts of America can be of
great value to the commission and
the Department of Forestry. The
| Boy Scouts are taking up the work
because they have already had so
much fun going chestnut hunting
that their loyalty to the sport com
pels them to do everything they can
| to save the trees.
" 1t has occurred to u.s." writes
Irwin c. Williams, PENNSYLVANIA
| Deputy Commissioner of Forestry,
that this would be valuable exer-
| else to Boy Scouts. 1t would teach
| them woodcraft, would enable them
to recgnize the disease, will teach
them how to discriminate between
wild chestnut trees, and other spec
les of trees, and will enable them to
take walks and marches with a
double purpose, and at the same time
give our state advanced information
of the occurrence of the disease
This work will be of gerat help to
the commonwealth because the dis.
ease must be arrested at once If any
trees are to be saved"
Scout Master E. G. Jenkins of the
local troop, is perhaps the first Field
Agent appointed outside of the 81
experts connected with the Blight
Commission. He had the privilege
last fall of accompanying one of the
most experienced experts on a toul
of inspection, locating blighted trees
and receiving field instructions.
Recently a number of Scout Mas
ters in the state have been appointed
Field Agents. AS such, they are a
liberty to enter any woodland o.
other property to examine chestnu
trees and the boys while under tn,
Field Agents personal escort ma.
also be admitted to assist in the ex
aminations.
1t is the purpose of the Commits
. sion to teach the people of each 10
cality to recognize the blight and t.
use proper measures in combating it
and with some training the boys cal
assist in locating the disease and in
structing the owners.
Arrangements are under way TO
an illustrated lecture and field in
struction by Mr.. Keller E. Rockey
who has charge of this work, som
time this spring. Every owner o
chestnut trees in this section will b
interested in this lecture and n
doubt a alrge number will be bene
| fitted thereby.

fit to eat and fishermen throw them
away.
some fishermen are in the habit
Of keeping fish of just six inches
in size and even when they have
legal number caught have kept on
fishing, hoping to catch larger fish,
in which event they throw back in
to the brook the smaller sized fish
and keep the larger, and in such
cases the fish always die.
The intention is to endeavor to
amend the law so that any sized
trout may be kept by the fishermen
and thus prevent fish affected with
fungus from coming in contact with
| the other fish.

WARNS CONGRESS CANDIDATES
Must File Contributions and EX-
penses Fifteen Days BEFORE
Convention

A notice warning candidates for
Congress that the act of August 19,
1911, requires the filing of a state
ment of campaign contributions and
expenses fifteen days before pri-
mary or convention, is about to be is
sued jointly by Representative Burke
of South Dakota, acting chairman of
the Republican Congress committee,
and Representative Lloyd of Mis-
souri,, chairman of the Democratic
Congress committee.
The law provides that evasion or
violation of the requirements as indi-
Gated shall be punishable by fine and
Imprisonment. This would mean that
the right of a successful candidate to
hold his seat would be denied if 1t
was shown that he had failed to
comply with the act of August 10,
1911.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they CAM
not reach the diseased portion of th|
ear. There is only one way to curl
deafness, and that is by constitI
tional remedies. Deafness Is caua
ed by an inflamed condition of th|
mucous lining of the EustachiaI
Tube. When this tube is inflame|
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result
and unless the Inflammation can b|
taken out and this tube restored d
it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases od
of ten are caused by Catarrh, whic
is nothing but an inflamed conditioI
of the mucous surfaces.

Tavenner was democrat, and his
news letters, favorable to the demec-
racy, finally attracted the attention Of
Champ Clark, who arranged with the
national congressional committee to
have them sent to 1900 country news
papers. With this new lease of life and
the advertising 1t gave him Tavenner
extended his service to number Of
city newspapers
Eight of the latter class were pub
lished in towns and cities Of the Four
teenth Illinois congressional district;
and when Tavenner went home to Cor
dova on a visit two years ago, he
found that his neighbors had grown
rather proud of him, and as mark of
their favor they offered him the demo-
cratic nomination for congress. This
honor was really more OF q liability

But the young newspaper man took

campaign, with the result that he cut

1000. This year Tavenner asked for
the nomination again, and the politi-
