PennsyIvanIa Froa Hunters.

All the sport is not found in angling
for the gamy bass or speckled trout.
The frog season is now open and II
there is any sport that requires skill
It is catching frogs, says the Susque-
hanna Transcript.
There was a time when the twilight
soloists were taken any time during
the year. but since frogs were discov.
cred to be Of benefit to mankind, not
only as food product but because
they kill embryo mosquitoes, 1t was de-
cided to have laws protecting them.
The frog season will end Nov. 80.
Nets are now being prepared lamps
put in shape, gum boots tested to see
where mouse or time has worn holes
through the rubber, and after dusk,
frog hunters throughout the surround
ing rural district will be seen vending
their way to the favorite frog pond or
stream.
Those who go for sport spend one
or two nights a week In search of the
greenbacks, and those who make liv-
ing by selling them to restaurants,
cafes, hotels and families rarely miss
a night. This is especially the case
at the start Of the season.
Veteran frog hunters do not reveal
their favorite places. There are many
who have been going for years, and
even their closest friends do not know
where they make the large catches.

members of the United States senate,
but those who during their tenure of
office already have forged to the front
in influence and activity, are demand

committees of the senate, when the
redistribution takes place next March

They are demanding an equal distri

lieved that they will be successful.
Under such circumstances both Sena-

Senator owen of Oklahoma may OBJ
tain the hairmanship of the sena, q
committee on Indian affairs. This
would be not only an important post,
but the consideration of Indian meas
ures would be carried on in most
intelligent manner as Senator Owen
is thoroughly conversant with Indian
matters, more so than Others who
rank ahead of him. Senator Owen
now ranks third on the committee,
both Senator Stone of Missouri and
Senator Davis of Arkansas being
ahead of him. AS Senator Stone will
have a comparatively wide scope OF
committees to choose from, he may
yield his position on this committee
for another one more along his partic-
ular lines of endeavor. Senator Dav-
of Arkansas ranks next and would
then ascend to the head of the com
mittee under present rules but as he
knows that Senator owen is probab-
ly better fitted for such chairman
ship, and he having a choice OF other
committees, he, too, may step aside
for the elevation of the Oklahomt
senator. This matter of course can
not be determined for some time.
Places for Owen.
Senator Owen ranks first on the
committee on territories and is entitl-
ed to the craftsmanship of this body.
He ranks second on the committee
on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico
and in case Senator Clarke steps aside
would be entitled to the chairmanship
if he desired to take it. He also
ranks second on the committee on
civil service and retrenchment. Sena-
tor Clarke outranking him in the
point of service.
Senator Gore ranks first on the
committee on pensions and is assured
of the Craftsmanship. He ranks sec
ond on the committee on agriculture
and in case Bankhead chooses to take
another committee it is believed that
Senator Gore would be glad to yield
his craftsmanship on the committee
on pensions in order to take charge
of that on agriculture, he being par
ticularly interested in agricultural de-
velopment in the United States
James w. Beller, private secre-
tary to Senator Owen, and Dixie Gore,
private secretary to Senator Gore,
will each come in for remunerative
positions in case the senators are
elevated to the higher committees.
IC is the senate custom that the pri-
vate secretaries to the senator's in
charge of the committees shall act
as clerks to these bodies. reeler now
is clerk of the committee on Pacific
railroads and Dixie Gore clerk of the
committee on railroads. The salar-
les of both will be increased ,.l)lS
