SMALL GAME A-PLENTY.

New Jerseys hunting season for
upland game is now open and con-
tinues until December 10, and licens-
ed gunners may shoot rabbit, hare,
squirrel, quail, ruffed grouse, par
fridge and the male only of ring
necked pheasant. Female pheasants
are protected until 1919. The open
season for woodcock is from October
10 to November 80, inclusive.
Small game is reported unusually
plentiful in most parts of the State.
Conditions during the summer have
been advantageous for the rearing of
rabbits and hares, while the system
attic restocking of the cunning
grounds with breeding quail and Eng
fish ring-neck pheasants from the
State Game Farm at Forked River
and other preserves is bringing a
pleasingly steady increase of these
game birds.
The open season for ducks and
geese came in on November l, and
early reports from the coast tell of
heavy killings of water fowl. The
greatest focks of ducks seen in ten
years are reported on the bays
around Barnegat and Tuckerton.
Sportsmen credit the nationwide pro-
lection afforded by the Federal Migra-
tory Bird Law for this improved con-
dition. The waterfowl season ex-
tends to January 81.
The New Jersey law makes it illeg-

PROSPERITY AT A s

There is no longer any doubt of
the return of prosperity. Our old
friend is with US again. He is not
here in great chunks, with bags full
of shimmering gold, and automobiles
for everybody, but the old boy has
brought a steady increase in the vol
ume of business, and a relaxation in
the money markets, and a renewed
confidence in business circles and in
the agricultural districts.
Men of all classes are loosening
their purse strings, money is on a
hunt for investment, employers are
taking on more men, and the wheels
of industry are humming at a more
rapid rate than for many months
past.
Merchants report increased sales
and easier collections, buyers are Sc
lecting better and more expensive ar
ticles, and a spirit of relief and con-
fdence is in evidence everywhere.
There are bright spots ahead for
the future. Lets all steer for them
and keep head and eyes to the front.

PUBLIC CAN AID STATE
INCREASE FISH AND GAME

In striving to make hunting and
fishing important of New
Jersey, the State Board of Fish and
Game Commissioners is planning a
campaign to get the real interest of
behind the states work of propagat-
ing and protecting game animals,
birds and fish. The history of game
conservation shows that game can
not be made abundant by legislation
alone. The enforcement of game laws
is not sufficient without propagation
and restocking. But restocking work
to be successful needs cooperation of
the public in the enforcement of re-
spect for the game laws, a matter
that is largely educational.
The central idea of all work of the
Fish and Game Department is to pro-
vide good hunting and fishing for the
citizen of average leans Except for
propagation and protection, these
sports years ago would have become
pastimes possible of enjoyment only
by the wealthy man of leisure able
to travel to distant wilds in search
of the game and the fish that had be-
come extinct in his home state
through lack of conservation.
Every sportsman and every farmer
the commission contends, should be
willing and eager to lend his aid to
wardens in enforcing the game laws.
The courts hold that wild fish and
game belong to the public, and the
person who hunts or fishes illegally
is penalized under the game laws as
one who steals from the public.

from the point of view of good rail-

decrease in total operating expenses
more was spent on maintenance than
last year. the increase for equipment
being s59,519 and for way and struct-
ure s21.155. Since February Balu-

Cation Fund Not Needed.

The proposal of the Secretary OF
the Treasury that sSO,OOO,OOO Of gov
eminent deposits be placed in Federal
Reserve banks in Southern cities to
aid in financing cotton was received
here with little enthusiasm. The new
banking act provides, through reds
counting between districts, for meet
ing special needs of different sections,
and il appears to be the province OF
the hoard as a whole to arrange for
such requirements. With the cotton
acreage reduced, business OF the
country on reasonably active scale
and the nations banks surfeited with
idle funds, there should be even iess
need for special relief for cotton than
a wear ago. Then, under the leader
ship of the Federal authorities, the
banks of the North pledged themselves
TO furnish S100,000,000 for cotton
pool. and this labor brought fortn
loans to the ridiculous amount OF a
few thousand dollars. AS cotton IS
sold and notes or drafts arise from
such transactions, paper Is created nj
for rediscount under the provisions OF
the Federal Reserve act. Nheh the
owner is urged not to sell out 10 eet
capital to hold his cotton through
the Federal Reserve banks, the spirit
if not the letter, of the act is violated

discount should be based on CONNER

ing on the showing of the last fiscal

largest gross revenues and the
largest net earnings on record, but,
when it is considered that the net re-
