rected to the three days. ceremonial
sessions of the Shriners of the East,
who will convene here September Is for
over the week end, the gathering being
under the auspices of Crescent Temple.
This event will be one of the great hap
penings Of the month, for the orders
have gone forth that this year the pill

The tufted heron of the South is
no better protected than the common
heron Of the North, and this state
makes It crime TO slay the stately
birds. AS consequence, the marshes
about this city are thickly populated
this season with the long-legged crea-
lures, whose presence has attracted
many party Of visitors to take trips
to Great Bay or along the inland
waterway. Sportsmen and fishermen,
which they cyntend are destroying the
soft-shelled crabs, young fish and
clans. A petition Is being prepared
to have the Legislature not only re-
! move the ban on shooting the heron,
but to offer bounty for their Staying.
Mr.. Orris Reed and Captain George
Curry two we'll known sportsmen, are
heading the movement. This step is
being opposed by those who maintain
that herons are valuable addition
to local attractions and should be kept

general approval.
