ARE YOU A MASON?
WELL, WATCH WIFE
It's All Told by the Drews in "Once a
Mason"

If you're a Mason, you'll have to
keep a watch on your wife, and pre-
vent her from learning the secrets of
that organization. That is the moral
of "Once a Mason" the new Paramount
comedy starring Mr. and Mrs. Sydney
Drew which will be shown at the Isis
theatre today.
Henry Minor joins the Masons and
his wife is not content until she has
wormed the secrets of that fraternal
organization from his, as she fancied.
He fools her some just to keep peace
in the Minor family, and gives her the
sacred word Capricorn then tells her
about the mystic goat and other dread
full initiatory secrets. She tells her
friends all about it prides herself that
she is the only woman in martial cap
tivity who knows the Masonic secrets.
There is a laugh every minute in this
splendid farce comedy, and no one can
afford to miss it. Mrs. Drew was the
director.

LEON BILL IS
AIMED AT LARGE
GAME PRESERVES
BY HERBERT FELkEL.

Tallahas see, April 29.-Tallahass-t
and Leon county people are more ex-
cited about a local bill that has not
been introduced than any measure now
on the calendars of the legislature. II
is proposed to make the hunting sea-
son in Leon county from November
1 to December 81. This it is hoped
to accomplish by a local bill whic
the Leon county delegation, Repre-
sentatives Scruggs and Williams ana
Senator Lowry. will introduce and put
through, it is understood, if petitioned
to do SO by a majority of the qualified
voters of the county of Leon.
! Great tracts of land in this county
have been bought or leased by north
ern capitalists for hunting purposes
and much of the territory is not under
cultivation 1t is claimed bv he petit
ton circulars that local game law
limiting the season as outlined above
would cause the large land owning
hunters to sell and leave the county.
The proposed bill would greatly
discourage the owning of game pre-
serves in this county because the SCI
son suggested would be too short and
at the wrong time of year. The cap
italists and their friends do not, as a
rule, come here to shoot birds till
after January 1. It is said that as
long as these vast tracts are controlled
by northern hunters who are able to
own and lease them without culti-
waiting them, the development of the
county will be retarded, and those who
favor the proposed local bills passage
point out that Thomas county, Ga. in
which is Thomasville, would be far
richer today but for the invasion OF
the northern hunters who bought lands
there for hunting purposes.
Whether or not a local game bill
will hold water is a disputed question,
it being claimed that the birds belong
to the state, that when Spain sold
Florida the game went with it and
Florida has never vested the title OF
the game in the counties. 1t is I'M
derstood that a large per cent. OF the
qualified voters of the county OF Leon
already hvae signed the petition to the
local delegation asking for the passage
of the bill. The present state game
laws open the hunting season on
November 20 and close it on March l.
