Cunning Season Now Open

The cunning season in New Jersey
opened this week. Trappers, however,
will be compelled to wait until Nov.
18th to trap skunk, mink, muskrat and
others. 1t is against the State law to
shoot these animals, except in a small
section of Salem County above Mill
Creek. In that section it is lawful to
shoot by means of any irearm, gun
or light of any description. Skunk,
mink, muskrat or others from the 18th
of November until April list. Why
this special privilege is given is not
explained in the law.
Quail and rabbit season will open
November 10 and continue until De-
cember Is. Already scores of gun
ners are making ready for this season.
1t is the belief of old time rabbit
hunters that the woods and fields
around this section of the state are full
of rabbits, hare and quail. The rabbit
season also includes the season for
ruffled grouse, prairie chicken and
Hungarian partridge.

Crops Below Normal

A survey by the State Department
Of Agriculture of crop conditions in
New Jersey shows that on October l
there were encouraging prospects for
large yields of grain. The condition
of the corn crop indicated a yield of
80 per cent. of normal, or approx
mately AT bushels per acre, and a
production of II, 743,000 bushels, as
compared with 1~1,440,000 last year.
The average yield of oats per acre
this season is estimated at "a bushels
and the total production 2,040,000
bushels, as compared with 2,720,OO0
last year. 1t is expected that the
potato crop will be GA bushels per
acre and a total production of $685.

A HAND ON YOUR SHOULDER

When a man amt got a cent,
And he feeling kind Of blue.
And the clouds hang dark and heavy
And won't let the sunshine through
It's a great thing, o my brethren,
Fer a teller just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder
In a friendly sort O way.
1t makes a man feel curious,
1t makes the tear drops start,
An you sort a feel a hutter
In the region of your heart!
You can look up and meet his eyes;
You don t know what to say
When his hand is on your shoulder
In a friendly sort O. way.
Oh. the worlds a curious compound
With its honey and it gall,
With its cares and bitter crosses
But a good world after all.
An a good God must have made it
Leastways, that is what say,
When a hand is on my shoulder
In a friendly sort o way.

MAKING OF LAWS EXPLAINED

The fortnightly meeting of the Wo-
mans Club was held Tuesday after
noon in their room, II Penn street.
About 80 were present. The President
Mrs. Hannah H.. Ashcraft presided.
The topic for discussion was GIVES.
On invitation Assemblyman, William
b Stiles was presented and he gave
an interesting address on laws re
Gently made and measures proposed.
He said in part that law making Is
interesting to know and invited the
members of the Woman's Club to VISIT
the State house, Trenton, while the
LEGISLATURE is in session. The rules
of the Senate are somewhat different
from those Of the Assembly.
The State Constabulary was n OF
the new legal creations. One objection
made was the big expense. Pennsyl-
vania and New York have State Con-
stabularies, which have proved sue,
cessful in capturing criminals and
maintaining law and order.
The local police force does not meet
the new emergency of rapid transit
of criminals.
had caused criminals to come to New
Jersey. New York Constabulary mad
collected nearly enough fines to pay
their cost. 1t was hoped the fines VIII
pay a large part in New Jersey.
GOV. Edwards is making an issue
on the Van Ness law because it does
not provide a trial by jury for those
who violate the liquor laws.
After he vetoed that bill on that
ground. he signed bills imposing mes
and Imprisonment for breaking other
laws, without trials by jury.
Mr.. Stiles said he did not favor
l~essening the restrictions on law, order
and moralities.
The building of highways was a
great financial problem ince the state
took over some hundreds OF mlleS'
We now have a State road tax when

people to vote on bonding the state fof u

Sue For Explosive Invention

In the Federal District Court the
hearing in the suit brought by Arthur
Samuel O'Neill against f. |. DUPONT
de Nemours & Company, to recover
reasonable compensation for the al
lodged use by the company OF a pro
cess and product which he claims TO
have originated, was begun before
Judge Hugh NJ. Morris, and a jury.
In his address to the jury, George
NJ. Davis, attorney for the plaintiff,
stated that by testimony to be intro
duced he expected to show that in 1909
or thereabouts the plaintiff, while m
ployed by the Brazilian government
had originated a process by which eX-
plosives of varied formula could be
"slow burning or progressive
in their action, with a consequent gain
in proiectile velocity and diminishing
Of wear on guns which the same
was employed.
This formula, in written form, was
given to the representative OF the Il.
|. dupont de Nemours Powder Co. IN
Brazil, he said, under the latter,s as
uranc that compensation would be
made in case it should be employed. -
In 1914, it is alleged, this was en-
ployed and was made on a factory
scale and became OF great importance.
In 1918 the plaintiff refused an offer
of IS shares Of bonus stock as com
|pensation, and has received nothing,
and therefore seeks it.

Mr.. Davis for the plaintiff, and Will
