GREAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR BOYS OF EIGHTEEN

The government has entered into
an arrangement with many OF our
colleges and universities by which the
bows of eighteen who have registered
for military service will be allowed
to attend school and receive military
training at the same time. The boys
will be given military uniforms to
wear, their board paid, and they will
be paid thirty dollars per month as
other soldiers are. These bows will
besthe last to receive their call into
active service and may be allowed to
complete a year of work in college
before having to enter a training
camp. The government will supply
the colleges having this arrangement
with officers to give military training
while they pursue their courses Of
study 1t will be very much to the
advantage of every young man of this
age TO enter college and have, in all
probability. one year of college work.

The writer is much Interested in
the proposition of the merchants to
quit delivering after the end of the
present month, but it would seem as
though, in making such proposition
some definite statement ought to come
from them as to the benefit to the
consumer. If the advantage only &C
crues to the merchant and the pur-
chaser gets no benefit, except the
privilege of paying the same old price
for his goods, plus the cost of delivery
through some other agency in case
he cannot carry them away with him
then the plan is selfish one on the
part of the merchants and ought TO
be defeated in some way. II the mer-
chants intend to reduce their prices
to allow for the cost of delivery, It

FOR LICENSE
FOR THE GUNhERS
Sportsman Says it is Not Only
Desirable But Highly
Beneficial.

MANY persons said prominent
sportsman the other day, believe that
the Legislature made q mistake when 1t
repealed the resident hunters license
law three years ago.
''The license law is tax on the gunncrs
assessed from their own benefit, 80 that
they may have funds to protect their
game and to increase it. Almost every
man who shoots is willing to pay q dollar
or two If he has reason To believe nc viii
get better shooting rs result. The
proposition is similar to the basis on
which shooting clubs are organized.
only the State takes the dues and uses
them for purposes desired by the sports
men.
"In States having hunters license Law,
for example, when they haye hard
winter. the game commission looks alter
the quail and is generally successful IN
carrying over u stock Of seed birds when
none would Othe rwise survive for the
next shooting season. All over the
United States sportsmen have learned
that they must have money to protect
and increase their game and there are
today only four States III the union
which do not have resident hun ters
license law. while all the settled portions
There is no place in the United States
or Canada today, including Delaware,
where a nonresident can hunt without
taking out license The significance
OF this fact is that game il growing scarce
everywhere \ few years ago there
were many place where anyone was free
10 hunt without paying n dollar So
manv people came IN TO hunt, however,
that in sclf-dcfcnsc the sections not having
a license were obliged TO pass nonresident
shooting laws These States and prov
lnces then found that they could not
enforce their nonresident laws with any
degree of success without having resi-
dent license as well II John Smith, who
IS hunting in Kent county claims he
comes from Wilmington, il takes lot
OF time and trouble 70 prove he IA .
Philadelphia man aud the result IS that
the outsider often hunts IN the state
without taking ont a license.
NhCn, however. everyone who guns,
except perhaps the farmer when hunting
on his own land Is Obliged 10 show q
license, tho Philadelphia man can no
longer claim to he a citizen Of the state
Of Delaware, because when he takes out
his license he must swear to the fact
OF his residence and no one wants TO
commit the crime of perjury
III "a States in these United States
are satisfied with results obtained under
a hunters license Law said the sports
man in conclusion. IL seems to me that
this is pretty good evidence that the law
has brought the sportsmen the result
they want Delaware did not try the
law long enough to give il q fair chance.
Let us have the law again and in few
wears | am satisfied that results will
speak for themselves II we don't get
