Beers Devour Forest.

Under the protective h,nd of the De-
partment of Agriculture, the deer in the
Kaidol forest have become so numerous
as to form a pest and interfere with the
development of the woodland. Young
shrubbery and trees were devoured so
that in time the forest would have been
destroyed. The authorities agreed that
It was necessary to reduce the number
of deer substantially to protect forest
growth and allow the range to recover
sufficiently to support the remaining
deer in better condition. During
period Of supervised hunting 3.76l deer
were taken. Nearly 800 other deer were
trapped and shipped alive for stocking
public parks and game refugees. Even
This s:thinninQ" has been considered IN
sufficient to permit satisfactory recovery
of the shrubs upon which they feed.

1t takes outsiders to tell us how
fortunate and blessed we are in
some particular things. Last week
when the members of the Federated
Clubs of the State had their annual
session here the Carlisle Fire Com
pany, and its auxiliary, served the
visitors with two luncheOns and a
dinner. The visitors, so we'll pro-
vided for, in the matter of food, be-
gan to ask questions of the home
town folks. And it was a pleasure
for the home town folks to be able
to tell them of the organization that
means so much to MilfOrd-its per-
sonnel, its voluntary service, its
building, and the part it takes in the
community life of the town. Those
out of town marVeled at the ease
with which the meals were served,
with everything so well cooked and
so daintily arranged, and with beau
tiful flowers added for good meas
ure. There was nothing but COM
mendation for these, our own fire
men, not for one minute forgetting
the auxiliary, for the part they
played in making the stay of the
visitors so comfortable and pleas
ant.

BUCK SIGNS KENT
PLEAS COURT BILL
[C0ntinued from Fira Page]

=
approval of practically the entire
membership of the Kent County Bar
Association.
The justices of the peace of Kent
county led the proposition, contend
ing that the establishment of such a
court would deprive them of bust
ness and make their positions use
less.
Under the terms of the bill signed
by Governor Buck, man arrested
in Kent county for a minor offense,
such as aviolation of the motor laws
must be told by the justice of the
peace before whom he appears that
he has the right to be tried in Com
mon Pleas Court if he so desires.
If the defendant expresses a wish
to appear before the court, the
magistratiOn takes bail for the for
mer's appearance, and the case ends
as far as the justice of the peace is
concerned.
In addition the new court will
have jurisdiction to hear small civil
suits which heretofore have come
before the magistrates.
The signing of the bill by the
Governor climaxed one of the most
strenuous battles ever made for a
measure in Kent county. In its pre-
viOus appearances before the Legis-
lature the bill always met defeat,
but the backing of Kent county at
tOrneys turned the tide this year.
Members of the Kent County Bar
Association have for some time
pointed out the necessity of a Com
mon Pleas Court with a qualified
Judge in charge.
