There are several changes in the game
laws this year and we give these to save
our readers the embarrassment of being
arrested and fined: It is necessary for
even residents to have licenses for carry
ing or using fire arms; shooting from an
auto or having loaded firearms in an auto.
Woodcock can be shot only in the month
of October. These licenses may be OBJ
tanned from the city or town clerks and
carried on the persons while hunting.
Each party must sign their own license
when it is procured.
A MILITARY SPECTACLE FOR BELFAST
FRIDAY. Through arrangements made
between Maj. Gen. Henry P. Mccain,
commanding at Camp Devens and Capt.
Fletcher, the local recruiting officer, an
interesting military spectacle and educa-
tional campaign will be staged in this
district this week. Lieut.. Friar, who has
been staging this show in towns through
out Massachusetts,, says that the citizens
of towns visited have shown great inter-
est, the only trouble being lack of police
to handle the crowds. There will be four
trucks and one touring car furnished by
the Motor Transport Corps, and three
ambulances by the Medical Department
The Both Infantry Band will furnish
spirited music. The Signal Corps will
heliograph, and field telephone The
Mayors and other Interested persons will
be asked to send messages to General
Mccain, the Red Cross, Y M. c. A, etc
at Camp Devens and acknowledgements
will be returned by wireless which will
be set up by the party at the exhibit
The Ordnance Department will supply
complete outfit of war material such as
81 nm. guns, machine guns, different
types, rifles, bayonets, trench equipment,
etc The Quartermaster and Medical
Corps will be represented by ambulances
and floats. The Board of Trade of the
| various towns will be asked to make ar
rangements to make the spectacle sue
cess. One of the most interesting ex-
| hibits will be that of the Air Service.
Lieut.. R. Curtis Moffatt will pilot an
army bi-plane from Camp Devens, which
will swooD down over the buildings, exc
cute dives, tail spins, loops and spirals.
A show will probably be put on in Belfast
during the afternoon and evening of Aug
22nd Lieut. Moffatt saw service in
France and is one of the most daring and
spectacular filters in the army service.
Wherever he has appeared he has thrilled
the crowds with his intrepid aerial stunts
However, weather conditions must be
taken into consideration as well as the
possibility of accidents, either of which
might necessitate changes in this part Of
the show.
The ST FRANCIS PARISH PARTY.
The lawn party and sales at the ST
Francis church and parish house last
week, Tuesday and Wednesday after
moons and evenings, under the supervis-

very successful, socially and financially

with red, white and blue bunting, there
were flags galore and an abundance of
Japanese lanterns. Seats were provided
for the guests on the lawn in front of The
garage which had been transformed into
a stage in open air. Mrs Thomas E.
Bowker was pianist for the following
talent in a program of unusual interest,",

added materially to the picturcsqueness
of the occasion. The genial Mr. and Mrs.

not being able to attend. A very attrac-
tive feature was pretty Miss Lila Allen
