EVENING CHAT

Two dozen big rabbits from the
northern part of the State have come
TO pay visits to the mountains between
Cumberland and Perry counties and in
snort time some of their cousins from
virginia will be turned loose in the
upper part of Dauphin county. These
RABBITS have been bought by the State
Tor propagation purposes and are
turned loose by the game wardens.
This is the closed season on rabbits
and it is believed that by the time next
ran rolls around there will have been
an increase in the rabbit population
ana good sport will be afforded to the
hunters: The rabbits turned loose in
cumberland county are big strong fel.
lows that appeared to be very active
ana wiling to make homes and grow
~ Win the country when liberated.
II is not likely that any of the deer
which the State and sportsmen have
oeen securing Will be turned loose here
because the country is not very well
suited to them, although Perry county
mas nne, localities for the animals. In
All prooaolllty efforts to propagate
ring necked pheaSantS NAV he made
In the country near here as il is well
suited Tor them and at the same time
reports can be made on the way they
take TO their surroundings. In addi-
ton to this planting of game there are
number OF trout being prepared for
Shipment to streams in this section.
Some of them are among the finest at
Belletonte and as they are all yearl-
lnSs they will survive and help restore
the tame OF some of the upper end
creeks as trout streams.
Mobilization of the street sweepinC
gfa
| a ceremony and attracts much atten-
ton. The men are all armed with big
prooms and when they start work
IN the morning and assemble after
thelr dinner they gather and then
form In line and go right down street
IKE regiment. y couple of kids saw
the force mobilize in North Sixth
street and when they started off their
sweeping march the kids began to call
hep, hep, shoot No. if he don't
keep step" The boss broommaster
had to chase the kids away.
The transformation of the old Bethel
church in State street near Fourth in

mas been started and if the necessary
httings can be secured the building
Will be ready for occupancy within a
short time. The building has been

else, but it is believed that with ex-
pendlture of comparatively little money
that 1t can be made well suited for
the uses OF the troop until the State
has to tear it down for park extension
me lower rooms Will be used for stor-
age purposes and the upper part for
the drilling. The building is strong
enough for the work of the troop in
its evolutions.
Attendance at the farmers institutes
held last week in Dauphin county was
the best IN recent years and it is at
trlbuted to the fine weather and the
improved condition of the roads The
farmers went long distances to attend
the meetings and the questions asked
indicated big interest in intensive
FARMING and soil conservation. There
Is also much interest being shown in
silos and number have been built in
this section.
one can always tell when there have
been out-of-town visitors to the Can't
tol and it is not always by the stuffed
condition of the squirrels and the lazi-
ness and well fed air of~the pigeons,
says one of the men connected with
the park. 1t is the number of papers
used for wrapping films. The other
morning he says he counted six of the
black papers scattered along the old
boardwalk"
