The general game law passed by the | Legislature was signed by Gov. Hays l and takes effect at once It Is the | first general game law placed on the statute books of the state and will prove of unusual interest to adjoining states, as it particularly affects non- resident hunters
 Efforts to exempt 36 counties from the provisions of the law, after sev- eral days debate, were rejected and the bill came from the Legislature practically the same as it was intro duced in the Senate by Senator Flu. trell.
 The bill reduces the open season on numerous varieties of game, reduces the bag limit, provides for state game commission and appointment of game wardens, fixing hunting license fees, and expressly forbids shipments of game to points outside of the state.
 The open season for hunting, chas- ing and killing deer. turkey and bear will be from November 10 to January 10 of the following year, with the ex- ception that turkey gobblers may be hunted and killed from April l5 to May 31 of each year. December and January constitute open season for quail
 No person may kill more than two deer four turkeys and one bear in che year, and hunting parties are linn ited correspondingly. This particular ly affects residents of Missouri. Mis- sissippi, Tennesse and Oklahoma The lag limit on quail is 15 for any per son in any one day and for wild duck @5. For shipping game out of the state there is a penalty of a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500, to which may be added 90 days impris- onment, and express companies and railroads are forbidden to receive for shipment to points outside of the state any game of any character.
 Special licenses for hunting deer will be required at S1 each. and all dogs used for hunting quail will be taxed S1 a year. For hunters operat- ing more than 10 traps will De taxed s1O year Is addition there will be general hunting license of $1 a year. Nonresident hunters are barred In that they cannot obtain license, 1t being a violation to hunt without a H- cense and there being no provisions for nonresident hunters licenses T. K.

-Four Roles for
DinninudVe Star IN
Next Production
Mark Twain's "The Prince and the
Pauper" With Marguerite Clark In
Both Characters, First Of Humor.
lists Work to Be Filmed, on the
Paramount Program

For the first time in the history
of the screen the motion picture is
to reflect the humor and pathos of
Mark Twains immortal tale, The
Prince and the Pauper," when on
November 10Th the Famous Players
Film Company's photoplay produc-
ton is released and shown at Para
mount theaters throughout the coun-
try.
1t will be remembered that the
Lasky Feature Play Company, anoth-
err producer of Paramount Pictures,
recently obtained the rights to
Huckleberry Finn and the rest Of
Mark Twain's works, but before that
the Famous Players Company had
succeeded in persuading those who
controlled the authors copyrights to
allow The Prince and the Pauper,
to be filmed. Knowing the high
standard of Famous Players produc-
lions, they felt sure that nothing
would be lost in the transcription
from book and play to screen.
Though The Prince and the Pau
per, has been extremely successful
as stage vehicle, the limitations
of the theater made it necessary to
so construct the story that the two
main characters did not appear on
the stage at the same time, since
their marked resemblance made it
necessary that they snou'd be play
ed by the same person.
In the Famous Players Paramount
Picture this difficulty is entirely
eliminated, Marguerite Clark appear
ing as the royal child and the beg
gar simultaneously.
Realizing that double exposure for
its own sake is no longer new, the
directors, Edwin S. Porter and Hugh
Ford, nave introduced it only when
absolutely necessary and here with
rare effect. 1t was Miss Clark s
first experience with the camera
trick and she was so impressed by
1t that she sat right down anu
wrote an article called Co-Starring
with Myself, which is masterpiece
of description and reveals the little
star as humorist of undoubted
ability.
Her success in her new motion
picture venture will serve to aug
ment the belief that she is one of
the most gifted of the Paramount
stars, for she is really called upon
TO play four roles since she is the
prince, then the pauper, then the
prince, masquerading as the pauper
