TRUCKING. TRRtSTFUL HENS
IT. w. KEMP CHIDES PENNSYLyAN-
IAN WHO THOUGHT MECHANI-
CAL AIDS TO LAYING WERE NEW

Thomas w Kemp. president of the
Maryland State Poultry Association,
of Union Mills, has come to the de-
Tense of the hens of Maryland. There
is no reason, Mr.. Kemp says, for the
hens of Newcastle, Pa, preenfng them
selves on the fact that they break un-
ion rules by beginning work at a. m.
That's old stuff, so far as the hens of
Maryland are concerned, he says. Mr..
Kemp writes the Baltimore Sun as fol-
lows:
a news story in your issue of Jan
uary Z set forth the achievement of a
poultryman OF Newcastle, Pa, who.
with the assistance of an alarm clock
and a mouse trap, floods his chicken
house with electric light. and sets his
hens to work at a. m. these winter
mornings.
Il have no fault to find with this
story, for it is undoubtedly authentic,
as far as the hens and the electric
lights are concerned, but the gentleman
from Newcastle should not be given
credit for originating this eXpedient
which IS in rather common use all ov-
er the world
Il am. by way of being the official
representative of all the working hens
in MARYLAND mot to mention the nom
workers. and / hasten to announce
that there are hundreds and hundreds
of my constituents carrying on under
the same enlightened advantages tor
disadvantages, as you please, as dhe
notorious hens of Newcastle, aided
and abefted. have no doubt, in many
instances by alarm clocks and mouse
trans. In short, the utilization of cleo
trio lights for egg production is not a
relatively new idea.
Having relegated to myself the po-
sition of spokesman for the hens OF
Maryland. allow me to contribute an
other piece of poultry news that is
not generally recognized, and that is:
All hens lay fresh eggs. | know this is
a truth that it will be pretty hard for
the housewife on certain occasions to
impress upon her lord and master at
the breakfast table. The trouble is
there is a great gulf between the hen
house and the breakfast table, the said
gulf being represented by IN inefficient
system of distribution.
"'The noultrymen of Maryland are
preparing to bridge this gulf by as
Stunning some of the eSponsibilitieS OF
distribution, and l ask for their efforts
in this regard the cooperation Of the
ultimate consumer who now finds il
hard to believe that all hens lay fresh
eggs.
THE hen is the victim of her own
sanitary methods of production. She
presents her offerings, strictly fresh
i'll germ-proof packages, and the eye
of man cannot easily investigate theil
contents This latter condition lends
itself TO loose marketing methods, and
often when an egg reaches the con
Sumer's table the food intentions OF
the hen have been defeated.
This time is coming when the egg
producer and the egg consumer must
join forces. assume control of the ave
nues OF distribution and prove to the
satisfaction of all concerned that al
hens Law fresh eggs"

you. Hi.i
Under the present conditions there
is a certain number of gunners who,
wherever the chance to shoot SOUR
rels. presents itself, take advantage OF
the opportunity thus making them
selves liable to arrest.
This condition is not conductive 10
furthering the cause of good game
laws, or to individual protection to
game in general The gunner who
breaks the law by shooting squirrels
after September feels that he is being
Disseminated against, and therefore
does not hesitate to ignore other laws
relative 10 the killing of other game
which NAV cross his path.
This. fortunately is so OF very lew
gunners. and not the case IN general
for ! am firmly convinced That the
average gunner is reasonable and IN
telligent enough to recognize that
good game laws are for his beneflt'
The good of the present Squirrel Law
does not exist, so, therefore, the
country eunners are seeking to nave
it changed. A short season for SOUR
rels. beginning September 1st' Will be
conductive to less law breaking in the
state than at present.
Ask yonr Legislaturcman to approve
of these changes in the law, stimulate
his interest in making game laws, for
MARYLAND needs, good game laws, and
money to enforce them.

An APPEAL FOR THE REVISION OF
THE SQUIRREL LAW.

The vast majority of the gunners in
the Counties are very fond oil SPUR
rel shooting When | say vast ma
pority. | mean about 90 per cent. Prac-
ticalIy all of the gnnners l have per
sonalIy interviewed and those OF
whom I have heard, have expressed
their desire for squirrel shooting.
About the 1st OF September, the
farmers sons have finished the great
or norton of their work and have a
certain amount of leisure which en-
ables them to do some shooting, but
under the present laws, what may
they hunt for?
At this time the gunners of Balti-
more city and the portion of those
counties Immediately adjacent to the
city are allowed by law to enjoy shoot
ing reed birds, black birds, plover,
swine and doves. Does this seem fair
fo the eunners of the rest OF the coun-
ties upstate or who are so located that
they cannot get to shoot them?
why not give him Iii opportunity to
enjoy some real hunting by opening
The squirrel season on September list,
for a short period when squirrel
shooting is best.
Squirrel shooting unGer the present
law is forbidden until November 10Th.
The squirrel is a very destructive
animal Ia the corn in the field, is very
active and intelligent, so therefore
cannot he shot so easily. which affords
excellent snort, in addition to the
very fine eating his capture assures

 George Hurlburt, nine, fired the shot from a small rifle, according to officials who investigated the case. sherman Hanna was with him. Peter Carramusa, nine, was the victim.
 Are you cops going to hang me and George now?' asked Sherman at the police station. He realized the seri- ousness of the situation more than his companion who, police say, actually fired the shot. Sherman is held mere ly as witness. Police are puzzled as to what disposition to make of Georges case.
 My boy was wild" said Mrs. Hurl- burt, who is grief-strickeh "It all oc- cured because George hasn't had fathers care"
 Peter was the second son of Frank Carramusa to be shot through the heart. Frank, Jr., II, was killed in 1919 by shot thought to have been fired by blackhander.

RECORD IN
 MOUNTAIN PULL
Studebaker Light Six First Car to Scale Tillsbury
 Knob, Pennsylvania

A Studebaker Light-Six has just add ed new laurels 10 it's many records for power and endurance, by being the first car ever to reach the submit of Tfllsbury Knob, near Nanticoka, P.
 For years the residents of Nanticoke and vicinity have looked toward Tills- bury Knob, one of the highest noun tains in Luzerne County, convinced that it's heights could never be scaled by any vehicle, either motor or horse drawn.
 The car that finally succeeded was driven by J. Williams of Nanticoke, and the feat proved test not only of the sturdiness of the car but also the ability of the driver The ascent was made over mere foot path. for no road leads to the sumit. Boulders, un- dergrowth and even trees furnished obstacles in climbing this mountain of shale rock, but the car unanswered it's way upward until the summit was reached.
 As an indication of the sharp grades encountered the ascent the mountain rises to height of 700 feet in the course of the one+mile trip from base to summit. The Light-Six which made this unprecedented climb under it's own power had previously been driven over 30,000 miles and still retained the original front tires that came with the car.

Tire Purch asers
 Get Double Value
 With Low Prices

So far as tires are concerned, the motorist is in clover these days" was the comment of Geo. F. Jackson, prop Southern Arizona Auto Co, dealer in United States tires. There never was Ia time when prices were so low. In the big slump in business that pre- vailed throughout the country about ten years ago prices got down nearly as they are to-day bat you want to re- member tnat the tires of ten years ago were nowhere near as good as the tires of to-day. When you buy a stan- dard tire at the rock-bottom prices of to-day you are getting about twice the value you used to get.
 It never pays to buy tire that is not strictly high grade and it is es. pecially poor judgement to do so to- day when the prices 'of the good ones are so low. No one knows how long these low prices are going to last, but for the moment at least car owners nave the advantage of price decline

AUTO EXPORTS
 SHOW REVIVAL
 NOW UNDERWAY
Definite Recovery is Earlier Than First Thought to be
 Possible is Predicted

dernite recovery in the automo. bile export business earlier than was at first thought possible is predict. ed by leaders of this industry fol lowing a study of exports for the last several months. Price changes m the last year have shown total value exports of American cars and chassis been as low as the low figure of last year that is $2,1S7.OOO. recorded in July. 1921.
 A compilation of the passenger and commercial vehicle exports for the ten months beginning in July and ending with April, 1922 and 1921, shows that the exports for the cur rent fiscal year are down 75.I per cent. from the value for the cor responding period the proceeding year. An even greater decline is indicated when the record is con- trasted with that two years ago. The quantity decrease amounted to &C., IO5 cars and the chassis to 35,33S1 or 63.2 per cent.
 With the value of April, 1922. ex- ports the highest since January 1921. representing figure third to a half higher than any other months, spe- eialists in the export field hold that subsequent months should show a continuation of the steady upturn The largest April gains were ac- complished in exports to Canada and Australia, but out of the 30120 gasoline passenger cars exported in the fiscal year SO far as reported. Mexico purchased 5,376, Canada 5.- 352. Australia 5,294. Belguim 1861. United Kigdom 1,241, Japan 1,O94, Cuba SIP and Sweden S41. The de- tailed analysis shows that exports to the United Kingdom were 6,900 cars less than a year ago, while sales to CCanada exceeded by S2,100. .0OO the value of lower class shipments to Mexico and Australia.
