MANY OUT CUNNING MONDAY
Opening of Cunning Season Afforded
Day of Sport to Sportsmen in State |

After year of peace and multiple
cation, the furry little animals known
variously as "B'er Rabbit" "Fuzzy
Cottontail," and other nicknames, be-
came a fugitive Monday. The open
ing of the season for hunting rabbits
brought hunters out by the hundreds.
Early Monday morning they could be
seen leaving Smyrna for the open
spaces and wods in automobiles and
on foot. Many quivering noses of
pent-up rabbit dogs were pressed
against the windows of outbound Sc
dams. In the rural districts guns
banged away all day. Many of the
gunners, those especially who travel
ed down the state, reported a plenti-
full supply of cottontails and proved
it by exhibiting the contents of their
coats. Some made their full quota of
six rabbits and others did not exper-
fence such good luck. The weather
was too warm for most gunners and
the sport lacked the pep that is ex-
perienced on cold crisp days. Quail
and woodcock were also bagged in
considerable numbers. Fortunately
around Smyrna there were no unto
ward accidents to mar the pleasures
of the day.

Peninsula Towns Hear of Accom-
plishments of the Association


That inestimable progress in ce-
menting more firmly the relationship
of Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore towns
for the purpose of development of the
entire Peninsula will follow the con-
ference of Chambers of Cmmerce ex-
ecutives from the Peninsula towns,
held in Salisbury last Friday, is the
consensus Of opinion of those attend
ing. The outcome of Fridays meet
ing is emphasized in the fact that
definite action was taken to arrange

ing February. A specific program
covering the numerous points which
are of vital interest to each commun-
ity and direct part of individual
Chamber of Commerce work, will be
prepared for that gathering. Express
sions by the various executives who

that they keenly realize the value
which may be accrued by having con-
ferences of this nature at regular per-
iods. That the addresses and round
table discussions of community and
peninsula problems, with a complete
explanation and first-hand insight
into the work being done by the Del

statement of one of the attending ex-
ecutives. L. Paul Ewell, Pocomoke

Mar-Va Associations headquarters
and the work being done in each of
the departments there, can but now
go back to my organization and my
town and enthusiastically support and
sincerely boost the Del-Mar-Va pro-
ject. Our towns on the Peninsula
must get away from a SNUG, satisfied
feeling and come out in the open for
the development of the Peninsula as
a whole, for anything which benefits
the Peninsula is bound to benefit the
towns" The conference was featur-
ed by a report from w. T. Gardner,
Director of the Bureau of Traffic and
Transportation of the Del-Mar-Va
Association, in which he gave evi-
dence that already the Peninsula has
derived material benefit from the
functioning of his department and
savings to farmers and growers in adj
justed freight rates that run into
many thousands of dollars annually.
Results of the Publicity and Adver-
tising Department work were present
ed in detail by Edwin c. Totten, Di-
rector of these departments, showing
more than 1890 columns of magazine
and newspaper space in which reading
matter advancing the many attrac-
tions and advantages of the Peninsula
had been secured and that the re-
suits Of the several advertising pro
grams showed that more than 1000
substantial inquiries had been receiv-
ed from all sections of our country.

search and Extension Departments,
showed cooperation and progress be-
tween individual chambers of Com
merce and the parent organization.

supporting the Arkansas Press Asso-

Stamped Envelope Monopoly of the
Postal Department A petition signed
by 100 Arkansas publishers was sent
to the Delegation last week and the
response has been most gratifying.
Among the expressions received by the
Secretary of the Association. are the
following:
by Otis WingO, Fourth District-"I
have always opposed the monopoly and
shall take advantage of every oppor-
tunity to have it abol,s shed. While
business men may appreciate the saw
ing in price, II is no more the business
OF the government to furnish them with
envelopes below cost than it is to fur
nish hats and shoes
BY John n. Tillman, Third District
i am against the printed envelope
monopoly Of the POstofiiee Depart
ment."
by lleartsill Ragon, Fifty District
You may rest assured that l shall
give this matter my most serious con-
sideration."
BY w. J. Driver. First District
Il have carefully read the statements
contained in the petition and fully
agree with you that the government
should not engage in the business of
printing and selling envelopes at cost
i'm competition with the newspapers
and privately-owned printing compan-
les. From my expressions l am sure
you are convinced that l shall support
House Bill No. 447S which seeks to
eliminate such competition by the gov
ernment in the printing business It
is my pleasure to urge the passage of
the procedure and hope to see it en-
acted into law during this Session of
