%a The automobile world stands bewildered as a
result and many manufacturers and secondhand
dealers are hard hit Probably the hardest hit Of
all are the secondhand automobile dealers who,
with what they believed at the time was foresight,
have purchased vast numbers Of used cars at what
may now be- termed high prices. The final result
is a subject for conjecture. Theories have been
advanced along several lines and result predic-
tions have been made that there will be general
reduction on the price of necessities. j..
If such is the case, Ford has started something
worth while and his actions to be highly compli-

year, in fact ever since the armistice was signed,
for someone to start something" and it is now
quite apparent that someone has. NJ. -

zine. AS time goes on and the banks
disturbed by recent excavations as
sumo their natural slopes, the need Of
dredging will become less. Investiga-
tons, however, show that within one
year sufficient material may be de-
posted within the canal to make the

An example Of this was found In the
channel east Of Oneida lake. This was
completed In q full 12-foot depth in
1909, yet, in 1917, it was so washed in
with sand that it was necessary to re-

I,..sooNERSn ARE DETRIMENT.,

DESPITE the efforts of the game wardens who
are very active in nearly every locality in protect
ing game for licensed hunters in open season, there
are complaints being made continually that lnfrac-
tions Of the game laws have been made.
There are rule two reasons-or so-caled rea-
s6ns-why these rules are being broken. Some
hunters feel, that they are doing no harm and
at the same time are procuring their game while
there is little opposition Others, and they are not
few, hunt game out of season not for the sport
Of hunting but for the sport OF hunting when
they are not supposed to. Infractions Of the law
seem to be the delight Of some people and the
same rule applies when itecomes. to breaking fish
and game laws. .. r. ~: -,..>... -. -: =
"Sooners" apparently are Of the opinion that lit
is not what they do but what they get Caught At"
This entirely the wrong sentiment for any person
to bear. Game laws were adopted after careful
consideration having been given to each species Of
game, and, Yin order that the supply may not be
gradually torn down. enforcement Of these laws
is vital. In order that the laws in this instance
may be forced, however, it is also vitality important
that every resident abide by the rules and assist
in bringing so-called 'sooners" to the realization
of the value of protecting the game life. Hunters
out of season are detriment to any community
and, if caught, should be severely dealt with, in
order to protect the game for lawful hunters:
