CThe weekly letter from Over

The program for Easter services
at Whites Chapel will be of espe-
cial interest. The Sunday school is
rehearsing and it will be held Fri
day evening, April 5, Good Friday.
Farmers about OverbrOOk are US
ing lime on their fields in larger
quantities than for several season.
Several carloads of lime were iin-
loaded at this station during the
past ten days.
Friends of Charles Mitchell are
pleased to see him about again al
ter having been in a Philadelphia
hospital for treatment.
Norman Kitchens after passing the
winter here has returned to Phila-
delphia, where he has a government
job.
oh, yes-thc big snow of last
week was welcome to the people in
terested in agriculture, and they
feel very much pleased with the re-
lief affordedPfrom the long spell of
dry weather which prevailed all
winter. There certainly was plenty
of snow and wind, which did dam
age to delapidated buildings and old
telephone poles, not to mention in
convenience for those who use the
electrical service.
Palm Sunday will be observed in
the churches generally, and Of
course Whites Chapel will be in
cluded.
1t is a wise policy for all farmers
to have at least an acre devoted to
Il vegetable garden, to supply their
own tables, or sell a surplus for
those not so. fortunate as to provide
one for themselves. Plant all the
vegetables the family will need this
coming summer.

KICKING ROUND
OF COON HOUND
Anglers HUNTERS
More Money Invested In
Good Coon Dogs Than
In Good Horses

81 don't care e he is a hound, you
better quit kicking my dog around"
is the plaint of coon hunters of
Ohio.
Farmers and spOrtsmen who like
to buckle on their headlights and
follow the belling of OF houn dawgs
through the woods at night have
tiken exception to a law which pro-
4ibits them from allowing their dogs
TO pursue raccoOns except during
the open season.
How are we going to train our
hounds into coon dogs unless we
exercise them on the trail the year
round?" they asked, banding into Il
determined gathering at the recent
League of Ohio SpOrtsmen cOnven-
ton at Columbus. They resolved
that the statute should be changed
to read "can not pursue with intent
to kill
AS a result the Ohio Division of
Conservation has informed the AM
crican Game Association it is plan
ming to recommend the change and
to inaugurate a program for restOck-
ing the woods with 'cOOnS, so lar a
neglected animal in restoration ac-
tivities.
I'm many counties there is more
money invested in good coon dogs
than in good horses" the division
decided. "The new plans would not
only help one of the most popular
sports, especially among the farm
ers, but would restore another sport
out of which they get almost as
much fun-linding out which dog is
best at training meets"
The farmers lead tame coon in
circuitous and puzzling fashion
through the woods. then tie him in
a tall tree. The dogs are turned
loose on the trail. and the one
which "barks freed" first is the win
ner.
This training lcgalized, dog own
ers will be liable to fine if coon
is injured

BAUGHMAN DOUBTS
JUDGMENT OF COURTS
Maryland Commissioner Says Error
Is Made in Restoration
of Licenses.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January 24.-The
courts of Maryland are permitting
dangerous drivers, including those who
have been involved in fatal accidents,
to continue to drive their machines for
indefinite periods under the existing
law, E. Austin Baughman, commits
sioner of motor vehicles. said this week
in discussing his annual report.
Mr.. Baughman said that under the
present law he must restore the right
to drive to those found guilty of reck-
leSSneSS whenever an appeal is taken
and the driver is permitted to operate
his machine until final decision in the
case is made.
The commissioner pointed to case
in frederick as an illustration of the
evil he said exists under the present
law. In that town driver was found
guilty in fatal accident and following
the verdict his license was revoked by
Mr.. Baughman.
An appeal from the verdict then was
taken and the commissioner was COM
PEELED to restore the mans driving
privilege. A short time after, before
the original case had been terminated
the man had struck and killed second
victim.
Sucn delays and SUCH appeals, often
taken for the obvious purpose of
delay, work to defeat the ends of justice
and to prevent known reckless and
dangerous drivers from being refused
the use of the highways to the great
danger and menace of other drivers,
Mr.. Baughman said.
In many instances, when such case;
are taken, the hearing on appeal is
postponed and delayed until important
witnesses have left the jurisdiction OF
the court" the commissioner asserted
