PLENTY OF CAME TAKEN THIS
fall SAYS CoMM'R PARSONS

the first OF November, Il Is believed
that the sporting camps would get
Just as much out Of 1t, as II would
then be too late TO camp out, and a
lot OF small deer and many does
would be saved as the hunter could
then discriminate, picking the bucks
which are holder and roaming more
In November.
MANY believe this would be better
even IL the season extended two
weeks into December. One deer
could he taken in any of the counties
from November first to December
18th inclusive, and every one of the
deer saved would be ideal hunting.
Again, 1t would be safer on account
OF forest fires. but the greatest con-
sideration of all would be that of
human life. OF course there will
always be accidents. They are con-
stantly occurring In every day life,
hut fatal accidents in the wilderness
couh be reduced to q minimum. 4
lot OF deer, too. would be saved II
guns were kept out Of lumber camps.
We are now running down evidence
where. in certain localities. deer, 1t is
claimed, were hung up away from
the camps and sold to sports to be
taken out Of the state. We must
have more wardens and severer pen
hlties II the law is to be strictly en-
forced.
Dogs Chasing Deer
dogs running at large without a
Keeper, chasing everything. including
deer. terrorizing oil kinds Of wild life,
at all seasons of the year. have be-
come serious problem The change
OF law. by the last legislature, so
that only. wardens can kill a dog
chasing deer. has seemed to relieve
dog owners OF all responsibility, and
more complaints Of dog chasing and
horribly managing, or killing deer
outright. have come into the depart
n1ent during the past two years than
for many years previous. A penalty
should be fixed and the. owner held
responsible for his dog,
- 1.-The owner of n good dog will
take care Of It. He does not want 1t
running at large in the woods with
out a keeper. neither does he want It
shot. but all should be willing to be-
come responsible for damage done by
their dogs to wild life. We were to-
day called upon to send wardens to
drive off dogs which had horribly
mangled deer. and they found two
hunters. one the owner. trying to
shoot the deer. as they admitted, be-
fore the wardens got the dogs. The
deer. with great junks torn from its
TANKS. made It's escape no doubt to
die O lingering death in some thicket.

Reports Show More Deer in
Woods Than Last Year
Remarkable Development of
Resident Hunters in, Recent

Hon. willis f. Parsons OF Dover.
'F'oxcroft. commissioner OF inland
fisheries ami game. in an interview
on the big game season. which clos .
fed Saturday night said. that while
owing to. the continued dry weather,
IT was hard hunting. plenty OF game
has been captured and reports show
rather more deer in the woods the
past season than last year.
Some hunters, have claimed that

. tain sections than ever before con.
tlnuci Commissioner Parsons.
, THE concensus of opinion would
. indicate that deer are on the increase
and yet they will have to, multiply
oven more rapidly and better protec-
. tion be afforded ~ they are to keep
pace with the automobiles and ever
increasing multitlpies that enter the
Maine woods each year In pursuit OF
i. big game.
''There has been a remarkable de-
. velopmcnt. too, Of resident hunters
in recent years. and the ques ton Of
ono deer for the season instead OF
. two Is row being strongly advocated.

weeks however, have changed all
that and constant reports have come
In from the various game countries
that there are plenty Of birds-that
owing to the long confipued dry sea-
son, they are seeking COVERS in the
deep swamps and near springfield
rivulets where hunters seldom went.
Instinct often makes wild life ap-
pear almost human. These birds are
now moving about and appear In
their usual numbers.
Woodeock Shooting
Woodcock shooting has been en-
toyed this season by many from out
of the State as well as some of our
own citizens. a fairly good flight be-
ing reported. They are, however,
found more in the southern counties.
Additional game birds for Maine are
now being agitated by some. The
hinged necked pheasants liberated
some years ago in York county and
a. few other localities have seemed
to stand our climate, although they
have not multiplied In sufficient num-
beers to have an open season declared.

Better Salaries.
Better Teachers,
Says COm'r Thomas

Better salaries enable teachers 20
live better. to prepare better and,
consequently to teach better" de-
clared DR.. a. o. Thomas, State COM
missioner of education, in a state
inent on the subject, Our Schools
issued Saturday. ..-.
Maine has already produced good
teaching material and often good
teachers, but many of our most
promising and best prepared have
not been content to stay at home"
continued Commissioner Thomas.
The three southern New England
States are full of Maine teachers and
they are found the United States
over wherever. wherever there are
larger educational engineering jobs.
For many years. therefore; in fact,
ever since the conception of trained
teachers, we have been supplying
teachers for other states and, to some
extent, shall continue to do so. Any
state, however. which cannot hold
4 reasonable percentage of its teach
ers of high personality and prepa3a-
ton must of necessity live always
in professional poverty. No state can
work out satisfactory solution to
its educational problem until 1t can
hold its best teachers. At the present
time, better conditions are prevail
ing in Maine as the following figures
on teachers salaries for a ten wear
period will indicate.

Suggest Stronger
Laws on Children
Handling Firearms

In consequence or recent state.
ment published by the department
of inland fisheries and game refer.
ring TO the appalling number of ac-
cidents among children caused al
most invariably by the careless
handling of firearms, the depart
ment is receiving reports from va
rious sections of additional accidents
of similar nature which have oc-
Cured from time to time during the
year, but which have apparently not
been mentioned in the newspapers.
Thus far, these supplementary re-
ports are Of about the same char
acter as the accidents already re-
ported-usually extreme careless
ness in the handling of firearms by
small boys. One prominent citizen
in southern Maine sent US the fol-
lowing interesting letter: ~

ment in today's Kennebec Journal.
and 1t recalls to my mind case
which came to my attention only q
few weeks ago:
"A boy of II or II years of age
was cunning with a shotgun or rifle
and a terrified neighbor who had
children came to me. Someone also
complained to our police officer. I
thought there must be something
wrong, but I found the boy had a
hunting license all right. If that
boy had had an air rife. the one
who sold or gave it to him could
have been prosecuted. but with the
other weapons. he and his parents
were within the law. / told the
neighbor the only, advice I could
give her was that she must keep
out of the way of the youthful hunt
or.
I'm view of the existing conditions.
I recommend that the words 'un-
less the written consent of parents
or guardian is attached to the ap-
plication for such certificate be
stricken from the third. paragraph
of section 5, chapter 173, public laws
Of 1919--the Resident Hunters and
Fishermen's Registration Act"
This paragraph. If amended, Of
above suggested, would read as fol.
lows:
mo such certificate shall be
years of age, but any resident un'
tiers open to fishing without sucl
certificate" .....-
