HUNTERS PAY IN
GENEROUS SUM
Belief That Licenses This
Year Will Be Almost Up to
Record of Last Year

Late reports in regard to hunters
Ecenses issued this year indicate that
the number will run close to the
sos. coo record of last year and il
IS expected that the coming general
assembly will give some authority
in regard TO the expenditure of the
revenue which is received each year
from this source. Under the law
half goes for the payment of boun-
ties for the destruction of animals
and birds which prey upon wild life
and are a nuisance to the farmers
and it is expected that an act TO in
crease the amount of bounties on
wild cats, for instance, will be asked.
The Game Commission will meet in
January to draw up its legislative
program and the plan Of having the
Legislature authorize the commission
to buy sand outright for game pre-
serves and hunting, not to exceed
$4,000 or about one-fifth of the
present license income, seems to be
favored not only here. but in other
places. The Commission may also
ask authority to increase its field
force. Just what effect the plans for
creation of a Department of Con-
servation with all field forces under
the State Police will have upon this
proposition is not much discussed.
1t is expected here that the num-
ber of hunters paying n dollar each
during 1917 and 1918 and the kill OF
game will make an impression upon
the Legislature as it will represent
pretty large section of the manhood
OF the state. The figures are not yet
in hand for the game killed but it
is believed the showing in regard to
deer and wild turkeys Will be fine.

Keystone State Uses Half Million
Targets, Leads Nation TrapshoOting

greater number of clay targets
We're thrown in Pennsylvania this
year than in any other state. Usu-
ally the state that is favored with
the Grand American Handicap Trap
Shootlng tournament shows up in the
records of. Secretary Shaner, OF the
interstate Trapshooting Association,
as the one that hurls the most life
less, and more often elusive clays.
This year was an exception, however.
Pennsylvania in its registered tour
naments threw 51S,9S0 targets to
51T,Stg for Illinois Last year Illi-
nois threw S2l,S5 targets.
Quite naturally there was n falling
OF in trapshootlng tournaments this
year as compared with the banner
year of 1917. with the continued
efforts of Uncle Sam to wage war
for freedom for all peoples, trapshoot-
ing went to the front. In some places
clubs were entirely wiped out. This,
as you know. had its effect. In other
places man-power was scarce and
many men had to miss their usual
recreation.
The Interstate Trapshooting Asso-
citation this year granted sanctions for
40S tournaments, of which 3G5 are
known to have been held, because re-
ports were received from them. The
year before 504 tournaments We're
registered and 493 were held. This.
taken by and large, is a mighty fine
average. No other sport has stood up
so well during these critical and
strenuous times.
Seven thousand and fifty-seven indi-
vidual shooters participated in the
365 tournaments, and 5,l6I.S47 targets
were thrown This is 1000. 900 less
targets than We're thrown the wear
previous, but the average number OF
targets thrown this year exceeds that
of last year The average number Of
targets thrown at each tournament in
1918 was 14,150. while the average in
1917 was 1255i. OF course these fi@-
ures do not show all of the shootina Q.

it, The Bethlehem Steel Company
has had erected for it a whole new
suburb at Bethlehem as part of this
government housing operation, and
if that works out it would give the
most perfect example for improving
conditions about Harrisburg.
ut was brought out some time
ago that Harrisburgs reserve of un-
occupied houses was less than one
per cent. and all of us know that the
condition is a very serious one in
port of broad housing movements
as would make 1t possible for Har-
risburg, for example, to do as well
as Camden has done, to be treated
half as well as Chester is being
treated, and to have access to the
mass of data and experience that
is being accumulated, which if the
respect to the getting here of any
more industries. l have had the
hope that the fair trying out of
these great improvements would in
dicate the way for some federal sup
resolution referred to should pass
would all be wasted.
Harrisburg needs better housing.
1t needs the same sort of treatment
as Bridgeport, Conn, has had; such
Rock Island, Illinois, and in many
other communities all over the coun-
try. If we want here to participate
in the best things the government
has been doing, we will most surely
Join in preventing the indiscriminate

Il am very glad to say that Hon.

Try Making Your OrUn Cough Remedy You can save about g, and have better remedy than the ready

If you combined the curative proper ties of every known ready made" cough remedy, you probably could not get as much real curative power as there is in this simple homemade cough syrup, which is easily prepared in a few min utes.
 Get from any druggist 215. ounces of Pinex, pour it into 8 pint bottle and fill the bottle with syrup, using either plain granulated sugar syrup, clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup, as desired. The result is full pint of really better cough syrup than you could buy ready-made for three times the money. Tastes pleasant and never spells.
 This Pinex and Syrup preparation gets right at the cause of cough and giv- g almost immediate relief. It loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty throat tickle and heals the sore, irritated' membranes 80 gently and easily that it is really astonishing.
 A days use will usually overcome the ordinary cough and for bronchitis, croup, rwhooping cough and bronchial asthma, there is nothing better.
 Pinex is most valuable concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine ex- tract, and has been used for generations to break up severe coughs.
