Local Theatre Manager Composes
Poem to LLOYD

Very few people have suspected it
but Manager James MCGEE of the
Colonial theatre in this city is Bios
soming out as a poet of the first
water and has dedicated his first bit
Of verse to Harold Lloyd. Manager
MCGEE became inspired when he
viewed a private screening of the
new Harold Lloyd comedy, Or.
jack, released by Pathe. which will
be shown at his theatre today. Here
is the poem:
Some Doetor!!I
If you're sick of this life
With its toll and it's strife,
Remember that joy will come back;
Just watch for the day
When the papers will say:
He's arrived here at last-DR.
JACK.
There are doctors in Augusta,
Yes. and some in surrounding
towns,
That you class as quack;
But the one full of pep,
And the man with rep
Is the one you should see-DR.
JACK.
If you walk with a crutch
And it hurts very much,
To hike to the corner and back,
You'll laugh and you'll roar
And won't limp any more,
AS soon as you see-DR JACK.
If your boy, as a rule,
Wants to stay home from school.
And you think he deserves a good
whack,
Just take it from me,
You will learn when you see
How he's cured by our friend-DR.
JACK.
You'll laugh till you cry,
And you'll wonder why
That some folks a smile never crack,
If you know such a man,
II would he a good plan
To tell him to see-DR. JACK.

American Corn
BOrers Greatly
Damaging Crop

Great damage to the corn crop in
all parts of the State is being done
by the American corn borers ac-
cording to the report of State Horti-
culturist G.. A. Yeaton. Every day
inquiries are received at the Depart
ment of Agriculture as to the meth
cd of combating this pest. Mr..
Yeaton says that the situation over
the State Is worse than ever.
Farmers finding infested stocks of
corn should cut them close to the
ground and burn them so that no
chances will be taken, Of the borers
breeding. The natural enemies like
the birds and diseases should bring
the pest under control 10y the end of
the season, Mr.. Yeaton states.
While the native corn horcrs are
quite general in the corn crop of the
State, the European borers are con-
fined to the southern part Of the
State. Mr.. Yeaton noticed a field of
corn in Richmond in which one
stock in every so was infested by the
native borer. OF the two pests, the
European and the native corn borer,
the former is by fai' the most DC
structive. They multiply rapidly. A
farmer in Medford Mass. found 264
Of them N single hill CT corn.

STATE HOUSE
Next Meeting of Council 10 A. NJ, Tuesday, Aug IA

to scure from the U. S. Department
Of Agriculture, Bureau of Biological
Survey, ruling on the question as
to whether or not persons could have
migratory waterfowl in possession
for decoys without a permit.
For the information of the public,
the Department of Inland Fisheries
and game Is giving to the press the
full text Of a reply 1t received from
the Federal Bureau upon this sub
ject:
Department of Inland Fisheries and
Game,
Augusta, Maine.
In reply to your letter Of July 20,
relative to the possession of ducks
to be used solely for decoy purposes,
you are advised that under the Fed
eral regulations no provision is made
for the issuance Of permits authoriz-
ing the possession of migratory
waterfowl for decoy purposes. In
administering the regulations, how
ever. the Bureau sees no reason why
a person holding migratory water
fowl that he has legally acquired
may not. under his Federal permit,
use such waterfowl for decoy pur-
poses.
No change has been made in the
Bureaus ruling that mallard ducks
| more than two generations removed
from the original wild state may be
| possessed and trafficked in without
| Federal permit. We would call
attention to the fact, however, that
this ruling applies only to mallards,
/ and not to other species Of wild
ducks.
Recent amendments to the Federal
| regulations provide that person
may, without a permit, possess and
transport for his own use live mi
gratory waterfowl that he has legal
ly acquired, but he may not pur-
chase or sell such waterfowl without
permit. The only way in which a
person may. without a Federal per-
NIT legally acquire live migratory
waterfowl is by gift from a person
who legally possesses them, or by
saving wild waterfowl that he may
7 cripple while hunting during the
open season.
| Very truly yours.
A. KFISHER,
| Acting Chief Of Bureau.

Stories of Russia
Lose Their Thrill

Riga, July 7 ca. P.)-Latvia has
ceased to be the sole gateway to Rus
STA for Investigators from all over
the world. Berlin is now the chief
diving board for politicians, educa-
tors, concession chasers and relief
workers who are about to plunge into
rod Russia. Many of them go by
aeroplane. Some travel from Berlin
to Moscow by way of Warsaw, and
others enter through Finland and
Esthonia. But most of the foreign
visitors emerge from Russia through
Riga. They are British, American
and German, with a Sprinking of
Italians, CZechs and Scandinavians.
Visitors coming out of Moscow in
brcathless haste to tell the world
1.-The real truth" about Russia are
much surprised, frequently, to find
that their hurried observations do not
attract much attention. Since the
beginning of international relief
work in famine-Strike Russia there
has been such a large number of
visitors that it is no novelty for Riga
to have scores of passengers out OF
Russia in a single day, and diplo-
mats and journalists are well-stated
with the narratives of enthusiasts
who expect the world to be surpris-
GU lilcl lliGS "GIS llOI hlllNu.
1t is no longer novel to hear that
the opera in Moscow is the most
wonderful in all the world; that
the soviet government is more
securely established than any in
Europe" that Moscow 'is safer
place to he than New York City"
and that "illiteracy has been stamp
cd out in the red army" The state
ment that perfectly clean sleeping
cars are operated between Moscow
and Petrograd and between Moscow
and Riga" also has lost it's novelty.
Correspondents who have been.
listening for two years to the tales of
visitors to Russia, who have spent
few days in the great Russian cities,
know exactly what most of them will
say. If they disclose their sympathy
with Bolshevism before they enter,
they generally come out with words
of high praise. If they were critical
before they went in, they are gener-
ally more critical when they come
out. In other words. the week enders
in Russia generally have their minds
made up before they go in. and their
statements on emerging are about as
monotonous as oft-repeated phono-
graph rolls.
OF course, there are many visitors
to Russia who remain there for a
considerable time and give thought
and study to the situation. These
usually have little to say when they
go in and less when they come out.
They generally are not in politics;
they are not about to take the stump
on the Russian question, and they
are not rushing into print with their
views on every phase of the Russian
situation.

Bears Numerous
in Washington and

In a recent report from the game
warden in the western district of
Washington county, game Of all kinds
Is very plentiful, deer and partridge
especially being mentioned as nu-
merous. One warden of long expert
ence writes the department under
date Of the 26th inst, that bears were
never so numerous as now-at Oak
Mountain, Township IS, southeast
ern Hancock county.-It is reported
that there is a real drove" of them,
big and little. It would appear that
sportsmen who are anxious to secure
a bear would ind the desired hunt
ing in this territory the coming sea-
son.
1t is expected that by Oct. 18th,
when the skin of the bear will be in
much better condition for mounting
or tanning as a trophy. many hunt
ers will visit this region for the
sole purpose Of shooting a bear.
