 Automobile Owners Better Watch Out
 A comparatively small percentage of automobile owners here have taken steps to comply with the law, effective next Sunday that requires machines to be equipped with non-giare head lights. Those who use their machines after dark next Sunday night or any night thereafter and who do not have proper lenses on their headlights will be liable to arrest, and police officers have instructions to take vio1ators of the law into custody.
 Another law effective Sunday has passenger-carrying car owners wall ing. This new law requires that they buy another license and that their cars be equipped with public service numbers these numbers to be shown only when the car is actually enga ged in public service work.
 The law applies as well to private car owners who occasionally make a practice of carrying passengers for pay, as well as to regular livery cars.

STEALS TURTLES gees
Vsrmint That Finds Good Picking in Upper Tadpoie Pond.

Another big turtle has been cap- tured in the road near the Tadpoie turtle egg hunt by a party of young men from the village which disclosed the fact that a practice not generally known about, and remarkable on ac- count of the wholesale manner in which 1t is carried on existed nearby. The upper Tadpoie pond is the home of thousands of turtles of all sorts. from the little chap with yellow spots on his shell weighing less than a half pound. to the giant snapping turtles like the ones captured ,shis week. which weigh from % pounds and even up to and sometimes over 100 pounds This latter is a rough customer to tackle on land, but in the water ex- hibits no sign of fight to those who wade for water lilies. On the east shore of the pond is a long sloping hill more or less sandy, with a sparse growth of grass on it's rraveliy sides with plenty of white birches all about At this season this hillside lays all day lo2S in the full glare of the sum raer sun. It is here that large mum bers of these turtles come to deposit their eggs in June. Here the eggs are left to hatch in natures incuhators, which are little holes and shallow beds in the warm sand.
 The smaller turtles lay from Is to 20 small white eggs. cylindrical in shape and about an inch long while the larger ones lay frequently 100 eggs and even more. perfectly round, and about three and one-half inches in circumference. Not long after this the depreciation appears and is no less a party than the common skunk He and his kin exhume these eggs and eat them. They miss but few of the nests and make the extinction al- most complete.
