HUNTING SEASON TO OPEN
ON NOVEMBER TENTH
State Game Department Reports Cow
les Well Stocked With Game

'N' " III ASAOShSN w tlil
Maryland sportsmen are due for
one of the biggest hunting seasons in
years. Game reports from all see
tions of the State forecast unusually
large quantities Of rabbits, quail, wild
waterfowl and pheasants.
Squirrels are a possible exception.
This belief is voiced by State Game
Commissioner f. Lee LaCompte be-
cause farmers have not complained of
their corn being cut as in former
years.
81 think the squirrels have found
something more appetizing than corn
stalks" said hunter recently. "Ev-
cry hunter I know is getting as many
squirrels as he wants. They're as
plentiful as ever. Several believed
that these reports were made by hun
ters who wanted the bag limit raised
from Is to 25 a day. 1t was raised
and the reports ceased. Squirrels will
go out of season for ten days after
November 1st. The season on smaller
wild game and all wild fowl will open
November 10th.
Rabbits have been committing dep
rotations on crops in all parts of the
State and the ''woods will be full of
them" when your hunter gets down
the old double barreled gun, calls the
dog and goes out in quest of rabbit
dinner.
Quail are reported to be unusually
plentiful as weel as the native pleas

To the Editor of The Republican.
The eight-day mission that term
mated on Sunday evening last was,
to the mind of the writer, one of the
most successful and fruitful missions
ever held in St. Peters church. this
city. H..
The pastor is to be congratulated
in securing 50 able and eloquent 4
missionary as the Rev. Father Fran
els Murray, of Annapolis, who is, in
deed, a distinguished orator. In the
propounding Of sacred doctrines ap-
pertaining to the holy faith it is quite
doubtful if any can surpass him. So
very comprehensive and instructive
were his sermons that a mere child
could readily grasp the fundamentals
of divine truths which he presented in
mastery manner. To enumerate
the different services that occurred
during the time of the mission would
require too much space. l believe
that Saturday evenings devotion is
most deserving of particular mention.
Would that l could draw for you
pen picture of the soul-inspiring GER
emony that transpired within the sa-
cred portals of the edifce on that
memorable evening.
Precisely as the hour was drawing
on to eight number OF very pretty
little maidens clothed in the purest
white, came marching up the main
aisle of the church singing beautiful
canticles to the Blessed Virgin Mary,
in whose honor the event took place.
Rev. Father Murray having charge
of the procession preceded the chill
dren to the chancel where a beautiful
shrine of the Virgin glowed with pro-
fusions of snow-white chrysanthe-
NUNS, lighted tapirs and votiva
lamps. The rosary was then recited,
after which the choir rendered a very
beautiful and devout hymn to the
Holy Ghost. At the conclusion Father
Murray delivered a masterpiece, in
the way of discourses, having chosen
his text for the occasion from the
Magnificent: "My soul doth magnify
the Lord, and my spirit rejoiceth: In
God my Savior" taken from the can
ticles of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Eloquently he spoke on the venera-
tion of the Christian heart to our
heavenly Queen. Of her immaculate
conception and her glorious preroga.,
tives as the Mother of God Lastly,
he deliberated upon the respect and
admiration that is ever manifested
towards the mother Of those we love
and esteem. And stating if such be
the truth, how then can we deprive
Mary of the honor that is rightly
hers, since she is the Blessed Virgin
Queen of angels and Mother of our
Redeemer and true God. A solemn
benediction closed the services.
The devotion was truly touching
and was witnessed by hundreds OF
people. ST. ELMO.

WINTERS BECOMING MILDER
So Say OldTimers, Who Claim to
See Changes In Conditions

DSS III SOlaulAiOAto
There are thoze who maintain we
are having harder winters nowadays
than we had so years ago. And there
are those who maintain that we are
having lighter ones. 1t locks as if
the lighter ones have it. Ones
thoughts are turned to the subject by
the weather which has been smiling
upon us during the past three or four
weeks, which at times was exceed
ingly warm, if not uncomfortable.
1t is mostly the older folks who
say winters are getting slowly but
surely milder, folks who can remem-
Der 80 or 40 years back. The younger
fry, whose memories don't register
more than 10 to 20 years, are the
ones who talk about tie great SHOWS
of 1919, when drifts blew up against
the windows and piled mountains of
white flufiness across the roadways,
well-nigh making traffic impossible
Of cours the SHOWS OF 1919 were
good, competent SHOWS, and there was
a winter a year or so before that
when it got so cold that mems ears
were frozen after a few minutes ex-
posure, but you can't tell the older
folks that those SHOWS and those cold
snaps hold candle to ones they ex-
perienced 20 times over back in the
earlier days. The older people say
that the SHOWS and cold snaps of their
youth make the present day efforts
seem like kind Of early coming ma
pie sugar weather.
Now when people make remarks on
memorable cold snaps they have been
through the chances are pretty long
in favor of their doing some exagger-
ating. Temperature, once it has be-
come a matter of history, is some
thing that can be enlarged upon with -
out taking much risk. When a cer-
tain low temperature is 20 years back
history it is a safe thing to talk
about.
But if we cannot greatly value the
testimony of the older folks as far as
temperature is concerned, we can val
ue their testimony on the depth Of
snow, for that is an affair which does
not so readily lend itself to exagger
alton.
Grandfathers and grandmothers
used to be great hands at cutting
notches in trees to show how high
the snow went. In many small towns
and in the country there is over
whelming evidence of this enduring
kind to prove that the snow used to
drift far higher half hundred years
ago than it does today In those days
it used to pile to the fence tops every
year; now it seldom goes so high,
nor comes as early in the season, nor
stays as late, if you want to credit
the added claims of the folks who
show you those notches.

AN EDUCATIONAL RULING
Children IA Years of Age Must At
tend Public School

Ienu GuDilc SchOOl
County children IA years of age or
less must attend some public school,
regardless of whether they have COM
pleted the work of the elementary
school, according to ruling of Attor-
ney-General Alexander Armstrong,
announced recently by the State De
partment Of Education.
The ruling was asked, the depart
ment officials said, when it was found
that virtually all county school off
cials had interpreted the law to mean
attendance was not compulsory after
completion of elementary school work.
Children up to 13 will be required
to attend full sessions under the rul-
ing, officials said Between their
thirteenth and fourteenth birthdays,
it was stated by the department off
cials, attendance will be required if
the elementary schooi work has not
been completed.
The law does not stipulate that a
high school be attended by elemen-
tary graduates too young to leave
school, according to the ruling. In
such cases, the ruling reads, it will
rest with parents to send children to
the nearest high schools, or with ele-
mentary teachers to arrange advanc-
ed courses. Copies of the ruling has
been sent to county superintendent
throughout the State.

Not so many years ago it was con-
sidered a wonderful accomplishment
to be a good horseshoe pitcher. Poor,
indeed, was the small town which
could not boast of one or more
"champeens." OF late years the sport
has died down somewhat, remarks
the Baltimore News, but in some
communities throughout Maryland
the game still has its devotees. This
is merely a prelude to announcing
that Ellicott City is making arrange
ments for horseshoe pitching con-
test, November 8. There will be two
classes, men over 35 years Of age
and men under 35 years of age.
