MORE HUNTERS IN
STATE THIS YEAR
Expect That Total of Licenses
Will Come Close to 100000
by End of the Year

One of the surprises of this falls
hunting season at the offices of the
States Game Commission is the num-
per of hunters licenses being re-
,aorted from all over the state. 1t
1as expected when the war began
Aat thousands of men who have
5een among the hunters for a day
or a week would be in the Army and
that the activities of business or in
dustries or railroads would keep
other men from going into the field,
but the number of licenses taken

fus TO demonstrate that people real
iZe the value of hunting not only for
exercise, but to learn the use of fire.
arms and that quickness of decision
which is necessary in good hunting.
Thus far it is estimated that be-
tween 2S0,000 and 100000 licenses
have been issued. Some counties are
already up to the total number of
licenses issued last year and the
western end of the state appears to
be experiencing a revival in hunting.
This is believed to be due to the care
taken to stock counties which have
been closed to various kinds of hunt
ing for a period of years under the
recent acts and to the systematic
propagation and the protection given
by sportsmen and men interested.
Last year there were 290, 422 Ii
censes issued and the year before
262,355. In 1914 the number was
29S,972 and in the previous year
305,02S. The 100000 mark is going
TO be passed this year beyond all
doubt say men here.
An interesting feature is that the
number of nonresident hunters Ii
censes issued rose from 462 in 1914
to 660 in 1916 and it is believed that
the deer season will bring a number
of such licenses beyond last year.
The hunters license act is giving
the state plenty of funds to stock
the preserves and protect the game,
work which is supported by many
sportsmen who approve the policy
of keeping politics out of the Game
Commission and who will give their
cooperation as long as the state
maintains that kind of game super
vision.

Philadelphians Must
Pay More For Milk

Philadelphia. Nov. 5.-The retail
price of milk was advanced one cent
this morning by virtually all Phila-
delphia distributors. The cheapest
grades will cost twelve cents a quart
and seven cents a pint. Correspond
ing advances in the higher grades or
milk and cream also have been made.
Several firms issued the new sched-
ule yesterday morning to its patrons.
IL was said that the twelve-cent rate
would prevail throughout the city.
The milk situation throughout the
country has caused alarm among the
dealers. it is said. One circular an

insurance act having been sent the
draft boards, the provisions of the
law, it Is said, probably will influence
the selection of men who might 9TH
erwise have escaped military service
on the grounds of having depend
ants.
Terms Are Liberal
The terms of the act are said to be
so liberal that in many cases wives
with children will have more money
contributed towards their support
than their husbands were able to
give them in ordinary times.
First payments under the terms of
the act are not yet ready as the law
has just become operative. However,
it is pointed out, if the wife has a
just suspicion that her soldier hus-
band might try to evade doing his
part under the act, she has the privi-
lege to write to the commanding Of
ticer of his company stating that she
is a dependant and wishes to share
in the governments scheme.
ARoughly stated the insurance bill
d~ptemplates that a childless wife
snail have at least $50 a month for
her support. The amount may be a
little more at the discretion of the
soldier husband. In this case a man
is compelled to contribute S15 n
month of his salary of $50, and the
Federal government will contribute
the other SIS.
Compensation Table
Following is a table showing what
dependents other than childless
wives may claim in addition to get
ting half of the soldiers income.
(A) If there be a wife and one
child, s25.
OBJ If there be a wife and two
children, $3.50 and So a month ad-
ditional for each additional child.
child, $5.
CD If there be no wife and two
children, $3.50.
CID If there be two parents, $40.
children. $50.
CD If there be no wife and four
children, $40 with So additional
month for each additional child.
GO If there be 4 parent, $40.
CID If there be VITO parents, $40.
Cd For each grandchild, brother
and sister, s a month if dependent
upon the soldier for support
Compensation for death and dis
ability also are provided for in the
insurance bill, the amount depending
largely upon the amount of the pre-
MUM, which is small, the soldier
cares to pay.
No estimate can be made, It was
said to-day, of the amount of money
that the United States will send to
dependents in Harrisburg. The
amount, however, will be large as
several thousand men have gone
from the city and vicinity to the Ma

OUR DUTY.

The officers of the Valley Fair asso-
citation showed good Judgment yesterday |
when they decided not to give ap the
fair this year on account of this coun-
try : entrance into the war. Ii the fair
is worth anything as a stimulus to bet
ter agricultural methods the need OF II !
is greater this year than ever before
because OF the greater need OF crops
with which to feed this country and its
allies.
By the same token, all other move
ments that aim to increase efficiency
should be prosecuted with renewed
vigor now that this country has taken
up arms. The war in which we have
enlisted will not be won alone by sol
diers. but by civilians on the farms and
/ in the factorics-in short, by every
one whose work adds TO the wealth and
resources of the nation.
No matter how impatient we may be
/ to strike a direct blow for the noble
causc of civilization, it should be borne
in mind that most of MS can render no
greater service than to proceed soberly
land earnestly with our daily appointed
tasks doing them if possible little bet
/ ter than they have ever been done be
( fore. The United States must train a
.igantic army, but fortunately it is so
situated that this army can be provided
mcthodically and with due regard for
the successful carrying on of industry.
The New York World surveys the sit
Iuation sanely when it says:
We cannot send troops to Europe at
once unlcss il be division of the regu-
lar army for sentimental reasons. We
have no troops outside of the regulars
who are fit for trench warfare or who
can lie trained for trench warfare be
fore the end of the year. Even if We
had troops, there are no ships to carry
them, for to divert our shipping to
transport service would mean starva-
tion to the French and British.
Cooperation with the allies simpli
lics all our problems and UNNECESSARILY
increases our effectiveness. We can al
once provide them with money and
credit. We can carry on vigorous
| campaign against herman submarines
| and help keep the sea lanes open. We
| can increase our munition output fol

! that is the first necessity to them ant

be one of the largest yet made down
the White river, consisting of no less
than 100000 feet, or, in other words
1900 cords of four foot pulpwood
The manager of the drive is Frank vii
son, now in Rochester and he has 100
men at work rolling the logs into the

Granville as the streams are now en-
