Warning Against
Setting Traps Not
Marked PROPERLY

Many complaints-ha come to the
department of inland fisheries and
game during the past few days of the
finding of traps improperly marked.
Traps have been found with a tag
marked as follows: ~. T. Smith"
with no address. Other traps have
been found marked as follows: 81. r.
S., Brunswick, Maine" while other
traps have been found bearing no tag
whatever.
For the benefit Of trappers who
wish to enjoy the remainder of the
muskrat season, the department is
calling attention to the requirements
of the law relating to the marking of
traps. The statute expressly provides
that no person shall at any time set
any trap or traps for any kind of a.
wild animal without having said trap
OF traps clearly labeled with his full
name and address, (John r. Smith.
Brunswick. Maine) either by having
the same stamped on the trap or on a
metal tag firmly attached to the tran.
The penalty for violations Of this law
is IS and costs for each offense. and
in addition thereof SIS for each tran
set and not marked as provided here

gram by the State Association of
Savings Banks and other bankers.
MANY of our schools have taken
up the work in a systematic manner
and are achieving results, going on
the theory that man on the job
and with a bank account is good
citizen, and potentially law abiding
since he is fairly satisfied while a
man without a job and without
money is potentially weakened in
moral resistance. We recommend
this program.
"Biddeford Is one of the newest
recruits in the program. A letter
from superintendent C. A. Weed
says that out of 100 students. $50
now have banking deposits with an
average of $3.44. Superintendent
Weed says. however, that the amount
of the deposit is not the prime fac
tor. the idea being to get the pupils
started and encouraged to make
regular savings and to know the
value of money. Superintendent
Weed looks upon this work as pa
| triotic instruction as II helps the
| future generation to become self
supporting. loyal, law abiding citl-
Zens."

ence yesterday at the Coloniai
| Theatre greeted the production with
steady and continuous roars of
laughter.
Unlike many of the other current
farces, That's My Baby" has the
novelty of a series of situations that
are refreshingly new. The irrepres-
sible MacLean plays the role of an
infatuated young man, who falls In
love with a feminine ankle, starts a
whirlwind courtship of the ankles

suddenly saddled with a strange
baby at time when he needs a
baby about as much as he needs

Comic complications pile up with
increasing rapidity and take an I'M
expected turn when MacLean gives
the girls father what he thinks is a

out to be poison
The life and death chase that fol-

parachutes and a load of hay. If
