President Stevens onened fhe meefina


President Stevens opened the meeting
in brief but witty speech and REFERRED
to the national reputation this assoefa-
ton now has in taking the right stand
to preserve our fish and game, which all
know bring millions of dollars into Name
annually. He regretted that the impor-
at the last Legislature We're not made
close time on moose and a resident
hunters license and also the prohibition
of plug fishing in the Rangeley lakes
much desired by those who have at heart
the best interests of these waters. Mr.
stevens stated that at the next session
of the Legislature renewed efforts would
be made to secure the necessary protec-
ton for moose and a resident hunting
license law He feels that some progress
was made, however, last winter, in Sc
curing the shortening of the moose sea-
son to one month.
Hon. j. F. Sprague acknowledged there
could be no better place than the Range
! ley lakes for the annual outing, but sug-
! gested that it had occurred to him and
others that possibly it might be well for
! the association to lease or purchase a
| camping site somewhere in the State OF
| Maine, where the meetings could be an
nually held instead of going To dif-
| ferent place each year. He stated that
he did not know as this was feasible, but
merely offered it as a suggestion for the
members to be thinking of.
Hon. H. b, Austin of Phillips made a
strong point that the time had now come
when one live trout was worth more thar
| no fu of and one I1Nf
deer in the woods to be shot at With
camera was worth more than ~ deae
ones hanging on the ridgepole.

tests, and spoke of the great advance

now give the game a fair chance, cor

gun with that of the more sportsmanlik

Wilson of Auburn. chairman OF the FisI

much applause as ne spoke with regre
of the failure to secure the desired Close

upon the necessity of keeping up the sup

of a State preserve for the purpose. which
should be established al the earliest pos

Young mothers wander, dreaming,

THE LAW OF LAWS"

A modest little editorial in the
Jacksonville Metropolis under the
above caption deserves to 90 the
rounds. 1t recalls to our attention
that which we are constantly for
getting, that the true rules of life
have been long ago laid down for
us III words so simple that a child
may understand them and obedience
to those rules would save us the
weary wandering and stumbling
amid these hundred thousand prin-
ciples of law" which never seem
to get us anywhere nor lift us out of
the darkness and chaos of our own
!selflshness, s;1ea and vice. The edl-
toriai is as follows:
advertising calendars Of firms
publishing law books announce that
one hundred thousand new princi-
pies of law have been enunciated by
jurists in recent years, and lawyers
are urged to buy and study books
containing these so-called principles,
II people would only study and at
tempt to adhere to the edicts con-
tanned in the Ten Commandments
and the promises of love given in
the Sermon on the Mount, what
would be the necessity for those
hundred thousand principles of law.
Have they brought us one whit
nearer the reign OF honesty, Justice,

THE GOOD WORK OLA
FLORIDA WOMAN WRITER

The Pensacola Journal has been
publishing recently in it's Sunday is
sues some notable literary work from
the pen of Miss Celia Myrover Rob-
1ns0n, Of the staff of that paper.
One of these contributions is a story
of Old Pensacola, entitled From Out
the Past which tells in brilliant
phrasing vivid with color and fra
grant with the essence of the pur-
est romance and sentiment the story
of a young soldier who marched
away to the great war fifty years
ago to die in battle with the parting
gift of his sweetheart, the half of
a "gaily patterned shawl" on his
person, she having retained the 9TH
er half to be redeemed by him upon
his return. Half century later a
white-haired lady still holding in
precious possession her half of the
shawl is revealed in the story in a
pathetic and effective little climax.
Anu the charm Oh the story, ASIDE
from its exquisite telling, is that it
Is all true, one Of the numberless
tragic minor episodes OF the vast
war ira ~cdy fortunately rescued and
preserved in classic prose by rare
ly gifted writer.
Another contribution by Miss
Robinson in altogether different
vein is entitled IAN Old Carbon"
and we reproduce it in this Issue Of
the TELEGRAM as something almost
unique in tho literature Of today.
IN its style "nd motif it is the anti
thesis of tho matcrialiem which has
sadly chan"od tho tonc of modern
writin~ by leaving out so much of
the sentiment Of life to be gathered
from such Gimnlc and homely things
as the "thc Old Garden" we have all
known sometime in our lives and
which Miss Robinson's pen has
brought before us with all its sweet
associations in such clear and
charming retrospect. 1t is such
prose as this which awakens in the
memory Of the reader the haunting
melody of sweet old SONGS of a day
