Open Season on Deer
Effective in Kennebec
County Today

While the open season on deer
has~been on for more than two weeks
in the northern part Of the state
deer hunting becomes lawful in
kennebec county today and local
hunters who have not been able to
take the longer trips to the big
woods are cleaning their rifles pre-
paratory to the first invasion into
the Kennebec deer territory. The
season is open for one month and q
hunter in this county is allowed one
deer while in. the northern counties
where the animals are more numer-
Gus the hunter is allowed two. How
ever, there is generally no tempta-
ton for the hunter to kill more than
one and indeed he is lucky If he
bags the one.
After all the hunting is not so bad
for there is a chance that the game
seeker may come across a partridge
or rabbit in his pursuit of a deer.
Grey squirrels are once more safe
for the law went on this morning
until the 30th of September, 1924.
Joe Heminger, the line chief of
the Postal Telegraph Co., for this
section has been working down near
Dresden Mills and he reports that
deer tracks are very numerous al
though he has not seen any of the
animals. No one has reported seeing
any deer around this section but
without doubt someone will get one
the first day for deer seem to be fond
of apples and often come into the
orchards on outlying farms.
Hunters should remember that
from sunset to sunrise and Sundays
are closed> season on all game. Also
that the carrying of loaded rifle or
shotgun in an automobile is forbid
den by law, with bullets either in the
barrel or magazine. Every hunter
must procure license from the city
clerk of the town or city of which
he is resident The license only
costs rs cents and is valid as long
as the hunter is, a citizen of the

Halloween PARTIES HELD
BY MANY GROUPS IN WATERvILL

Last evening was Halloween.
the night when witches, ghosts and
spooks reigned supreme, soaring
the wits out Of perfectly honest and
well hammered people, and raising
havoc with household effects such as
doorsteps. doorbells, awnings and
outside plantpots. The good people
OF Waterville were startled MANY
times during the night by sharp
noises on their window panes, caus-
ed doubtlessly by the appliance of a
"tick-tack" by urchins, and countless
other rackets, so beloved by children.
So far as could be ascertained last
evening no damage was done in the
city, and with the exception of a good
amount of excitement on the street
and harmless jokes. Small boys and
girls attired in costumes of bright
colors, and masked marched up and
down the streets carrying jack-o'-
lanterns and whistles, darting here
ana there to a window, each trying
his or her best to brighten someone.
In many of the homes, Halloween
parties were held in which games
were played, and holiday refresh
ments served, after which the guests
went out to roam the neighborhoods,
as "spooks."

The call of the West apparently
has reached the ears OF fourteen

the cowboys. So strong was this
desire that he used to loiter about
railroad yards and make friends
with the engineers and other train
workers.
The boy is the son OF Richard
Clark Baker, a veteran employee Of
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing. His mother is dead. The
father and two sisters are distracted
over the boys disappearance and
have wired to most OF the large
cities in the West to be on the
lookout for him.
He is described as being five feet
nine inches in height, weighing Ito
pounds. slender, with light brown
hair, gray eyes, heavy black eye
lashes and light, bushy eyebrows.
He wore gray pants. q dark red
sweater, brown overcoat, low shoes
and q gray cap. He was a student
at Mckinley High School.
