MANY deer Being

WOODS BY HUNTERS

The deer hunting season is once
more in full swing. John Flint. game
inspector at Oakland Junction for the
past three years. reports that 40 deer
were brought into lockwood at Kineo

erset lire of the Maine Central rail-
road and 40 went across the lake to
Greenville. where they were taken
| through by automobile. Twenty deer
have come down to Oakland by ex-
press since the hunting season started

to be shipped out OF State have yellow
identification tags. while the residents
of Maine have to have their deer

The rain has greatly improved the
hunting conditions. One reason is
that the danger of forest fire is great.
ly lessened while another Is that the
hunters can move through the woods
much more silently
l. Already one or two hunters have
paid fines for carrying loaded rifles
or shot guns in automobiles. Warder
Flint called attention to the State law
which prohibits carrying loaded rifles
or shot guns in automobiles with shells
in either the barrel or magazine. This
law does not include the carrying OF
loaded rcvolvers.
Mr.. Flint reported that many hunt.
ers are going up into the big woods
Some are going right through to Kinet
but many are stopping off at Moxie
Indian Pond and mary other places
along the line. The season, which
| opened October Is. continues for six
weeks, until December l. Thus fal
no bears or other animals than deer
have been shipped.
Mr.. Flint, who lives in Monson. has
been a game warden for about II
years. For several years he has beer

he has been at Oakland Junction as g
game inspector, during the open sea

Judges Idea of Justice

Judge Swartz' resignation after
sc years on the bench in Montgomery
country reminds me of letter which
once received from him, "Girard"
writes in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
He had sentenced a man to several
years in prison for stealing chickens.
The value of the booty was only a
few dollars.
1t happened on the same day that
another judge in a central Pennsyl-
Vania county had sentenced a bank
president to one year in prison.
The banker had misappropriated
over 100000, and for a period of
many years he had falsified the &C
counts of the bank as returned to the
comptroller of the currency. These
two items were printed together in r.
Philadelphia newspaper as showing
the difference in judicial severity.
The letter got from Judge Swartz
said 1T appeared on the fact of it as

the municipal court here yesterday
morning on a charge of reckless driv-
ing. He pleaded not guilty but
Judge Atchley found him guilty and
sentenced him to pay fine of $40

mitted on payment of costs.
Grant was driving his car ON the
State highway between here and Au

struck heifer belonging to Francis
Nadeau, injuring it so badly that the
animal had to be killed. Mr.. Nadeau
testified that he was driving his COWS
across the road and he signalled to
Grant to stop. He also testified that
Grants car went 40 feet after hit

The Bridge With a Thousand Spans

a thousand spans. Where from
where to? New York to Liverpool is
perhaps suggested. as you undertake
to calculate mentally how far a
thousand spans like those Of the
greensboro bridge would reach. 1t
is no such ambitious project, how
ever, for the thousand spans of this
bridge would not cover the distance
from the Woolworth Building to
Sandy Hook. The spans will be very
short-only about IA feet each-but
even so, it will be some bridge!
A mere 100000 will build the
of approaches. which seems a modest
sum for so much bridge.
