HUNTERS LICENSE LAW.

iy reference to the card of Mr. f..
W. Little, county game warden, it will
be seen that all volators of the recent
" enacted hunters license law, will
be prosecuted. We direct attention to
this in view Of the fact that Senator
Goodwin issued a statement, subscrb-
cd to by Solicitor Cooper, in The Ad-
vcrtscr last week, to the effect that
the law was not intended to apply in
this county and that Solicitor Cooper
would advise that no one be pr0Secut-
Cd for violation Of it. 1t will be seen
- Nh Lttlc's card that he holds that
the law was legally enacted and that

Nj, Cooper was not in the city ycStcr-
day, so no statement could be secured
from him. but as ii will be incumbent
upun him to prosecute such cases as
the game warden might bring into
court, ii would seem to be the wiser
course for those in doubt to await
further word from Mr.. Cooper before
dis"egardng the law For those who
do not wish to wait, the safe plan
would be to secure the required license
and then, in case it should develop
that it is not needed. we are quite sure
that the fee will be returned.

chased all OF Mr.. Chalirers's holdings

which in clghteew months, since /; be-
gan shipping cars, has risen TO the po-
sition of seventh among Detroit motor
companies and tenth among the motor
companies of the world In number OF
cars built and sold annually.
The Saxon Motor Company was ircor-
porated November ]. 1913. by Hugh
Chalmers and eight members OF his
Chalmers Motor Company organization.
The rise of II. W. Ford. who now
takes a place among the leading auto
mobile manufacturers OF IN" country,
has been rapid. Six years ago Hugh
Chalmers. under whom Mr.. Ford had
worked for the National Cash Register
Company. appointed him advertising

and later assistant general
At first the company specialized on
the Saxon roadster, a two passenger car,

line has been widened by the addition
Of the S7s5 Saxon six-cylinder touring
ear. The Saxon company Is now ship
ping cars at the rate Of 100 daily. Tho

The big red team from the banks of

Five. after years of defeat Mt Pernsyl-

cured Al Sharpe. IL - Yalc's greatest
halfbacks, to coach their team and the
results obtained have been most graft
flying.
When the referees whistle blew at
Harvard last Saturday with Cornell on
the long end Of a 10 score against the
big Crimson team. their cup OF JOY was
filled To o~verftcwtng. Cornell fas trav-
elled TO Cambridge for many years with
teams that compared favorably with
HarvaTd's team. and on sevcra. 'occa
stons the odds were on the big red team.
but tho final score always found Cornell
on the losing side.
The Same might be said of t1,o Penn

team had almost lost heart. and many
Of them openly predicted that Franklin
