Reports Show
Increase in Game
Killed in Present
Season in Maine

Reports on game shipments
throughout the State being received
by Commissioner Willis E. Parsons
at the Department Of Inland Fish
cries and Game, show that more
deer, bear. partridge and woodcocK
are being shot this present season
than ever before in the State. Deer
and bear are being taken out OF the
State at the rate of three to one over
last year. Due to the unusually good
season. huntsmen are flocking into
the State over the Boston & Maine,
Maine Central and the Bangor q
Aroostook railroads, and an I'M
usually large number are coming In
by auto equipped with the latest
modern trailers, in many instances
bringing whole families.
All of the camps throughout the
State report more visitors than ever
before although this is the FIRST year
that the new State Law went into
effect, allowing only one deer a
person instead of two as in previous
years. 1t had been expected, that
this would keep many huntsmen OF
former years away not being satls-
fed to make long trip for but one
deer. The reports show that
greater majority are turning 10
partridge and woodcock shooting
after getting their deer. which &C
counts for the unusually large SNIP
ments.
Among the latest hunters of note
to arrive are big league baseball
players headed by Babe Ruth of
the N. Y. Yanks, Bonnie Bengough,
catcher of the New York Yanks. Ed
die Collins, manager of the Chicago
White Socks, Bullet" Joe Bush Of
st. Louis, and Bob Shawkey. of the
N. Y, Yanks who is in charge OF the
party. They arrived at Fort Fair
field and after spending a few days
left for the hunting grounds in
Northern Aroostook. No reports
have been received as to their luck
as vet, but as they have the veteran
guide, Charles Cremins. with them,
they are expected to bring out their
full allotment.
Many unusual bear reports are
being received at the State Depart
ment. One comes from Cherryfield
in Hancock County. from State
Warden Bella Wass. He reports five
bears killed in one day Wednesday,
Oct. 81, within six miles of the viii
idge, one OF WHICH WelSHeu over oVV
pounds. He also reported that deer
and many moose are seen daily on
the outskirts of the town.
1t shows that game shipments
through Bangor are IA deer and four
bears ahead of shipments UP to the
same time last year. UP to noon
Oct. 81 this year, q deer and five
bear had come through Bangor as
compared with 10 deer and 1 bear for
last year. Reports from Franklin,
Somerset and Piscataquis Counties
are in the same ratio.
Unusual woodcock shooting Is re-
ported from Lincoln County through
out Wiscasset, Edgecomb. Bristol
and that immediate vicinity. Last
year very few were secured in this
region.
In many instances it would be pos
sfble to shoot deer from railroad car
windows as many becoming confused
have already been run down by the
trains when they would run along
the tracks instead of jumping into
the woods. The engineers are I'M
able to avoid them and report this

Hancock County has only eighty

to the woman who achieved most for
humanity during the year, spent two

visited most of our county associa-

message on this subject and her
plea for the redemption of men and
women to whom the light of knowl-
edge through reading has been with
held must have moved many of
those who heard her to definite re-

emphasis should be placed upon the
eternal three RS" and teachers
should remember that mere knowing
is not sufficient but that these ele-
ments should be drilled into the
warp and wool of the children that
they may become part of them, for
this is thoroughness.
Conservation and Thrift Day
Thursday, November 10, is CON-
SERVATION AND THRIFT DAY.
This is good day to begin school
savings bank If 1t is not already in
use. Lack of thrift is at the bottom
Of much of the crime Of this coun-
try. The man with a job and with
a savings bank account is a possible
good citizen while the man out of a
job ard without money is possible
criminal, subject to the enticements
and the reckoning of the unprofit-
able hand of crime. Not thrift
alone in pecuniary matters is need
ed but thrift in the use of time,
saving in the ordinary expenses of
the home, the care of property. the
conservation of fuel, the untying of
knots rather than the use Of the
knife and the thousand and one lit
tie things which make UP the sum-
total of prosperity.
Friday, November 20, Is KNOW
THE SCHOOL DAY. On this day. l
would suggest that our state school
standards be studied by teachers
and pupils as well as by patrons.
These standards form regular
score card and state the elements
which should be found in every we'll
ordered school. They touch upon
the proper standards for lighting,
heating and ventilation as well as
sanitation, on the equipment for
maps, charts, books, ETC., on proper
grounds with play space and the
keeping of the buildings in present.
able condition. Copies of these
standards are available for every
teacher who desires them. Superin-
tendents of schools should write to
the State Department stating the
number of score cards they desire
and II sent in in time, their requests
will be recognized promptly.
Saturday, November 81, is COM
MUNITY AND HEALTH DAY.
This must, therefore, be the peoples
day. They should be acquainted
with the program being used in the
schools of the state to preserve
and to improve the physical we'll
being of the children. Proper
care, proper foods, proper exercises,
proper mental state, proper spiritual
recognition all cooperate to give the
individual the opportunity physically
to carry the intellectual and spiritual
burdens which he may lay out for his
lifework.
Sunday. November %. is GOD
AND COUNTRY DAY. This is the
opportunity for the churches.
Churches have not failed to CO.
operate with the constructive ele-
ments Of society. They have been
sympathetic with the schools. They
are boosters for the better side of
life. This is the day to discuss and
to consider education in the home,
education in the school and educa-
ton in the church.
Regarding IIliteraey In State
There is one item which was made
part of our program for last year
and which we wish to continue this
year. There should be concerted
action on the part Of our people who
are interested in seeing Maine take
higher rank among the states of the
Union in this particular-to help
