 The officer reminded tn at it is necessary to have the $1 resident hunting license as required last year Those who have not lived in the Territory at least one year are required to have the nonresident hunting license which costs $50. All aliens must have a special alien license costing $100.
 The officer also warned that If you can't see the horns, it's a doe ? No regulation on migratory birds has yet been announced, but chang es have been made to conform to the bag limit provisions of the Migratory Bird Treaty regulations which may give Alaska as much as 50 days hunting this season com pared with half that amount last year.
 Dufresne said no word had come to him on the migratory bird set up but he was hopeful for so days

HOMER,
 HOME FIELD

s DETROIT, Aug. 14.-One home run in eight years in his home ball park sufficed to get special notice for Catcher Ray Hayworth of the Detroit Tigers. So elated was the veteran receiv- CT when he clubbed his first homer at Navin Field that he called the press box by telephone after he crossed the plate to lay the facts before the scribes.
 Hayworth slammed the ball over the left field fence with two men on against Washington.

peared in 50 games that year-al- most one-third of the total played by the Yankes. He was credited with 10 victories All in all, he worked something like 213 innings.
 As the Yankees head toward an other pennant this season it is their relief hurling that has kept them in the fight when stars like Go- meg and Ruffling have faltered. This season the credit must go to couple of old-timers who have been kicked about by the baseball fates-Bump Hadley and Pat Ma lone.
 This pair has accounted for 18 of the Yankees victories, while be- ing charged with only four defeats, Whats more they top the list of American League pitchers in the won and lost averages.
 Results Repay Them Well
 The result of their efforts ln the present campaign more than repays these veterans for the hours of breaking exercising they did under the Florida sun to get. in shape for the pennant race. It was likely to be their last chance and they well realized that Joe Mo- Carthy was being criticised on all sides for wasting time on a couple of has-beens, They were determ- ined not to fail if success could be had for hard work and training The amount of extra labor Hadley and Malone got in at training camp put the youngsters to shame
 The prospect of getting into the World Series with the knowledge that they did their share to bring it about is ample reward. Espec- ially is this true in the case of Malone. Right now it looks very much as though the Yankees and the Chicago Cubs will battle for the larger slice of the series melon That would be just fine and dandy with Pat
 Pat, you will recall. spent the best years of his baseball life toiling in a Cub uniform. Then, in the twilight of his career, the Cubs sold him down the river to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals de- cided that Malone would be of little or no help to them so they cast him adrift
 Mccarthy Signs Him
 It was at this point that Man ager Joe Mccarthy stepped up and signed Malone. Mccarthy felt that Pat still had some good base ball in his strong right arm and it would be a simple matter to bring him around to be a big help to the Yankees. Mccarthy had handled Malone in Chicago and was cer- tain that he would produce.
 Malone was no bargain last sea- son so when the players checked in at training camp this spring Mccarthy took Pat aside and talked to him like Dutch uncle. He impressed on Malone that the l only way he could help himself and the Yankees was to get in shape and stay in shape. Malone gave Mccarthy his word that he would give it a real whirl, and he did.
 Mccarthy has had his headaches

Back in 1927, when the New York Yankees won the American League pennant, if there was any single factor aside from their vaunted batting attack that was responsible for their success it was the amaz- ing relief work done by Wiley Moore.

 Returning home, victors in earli- est Olympics were showered with honors.

With the passing of the great de-
preston, Henderson has resumed it's
accustomed activities that reveal
many evidences of progress along vir-
tually all lines. 1t presents today an
appearance more like modern and
up-to-date city than it has ever shown
before in it's history. And there is
perhaps more pickup on all sides
than has been seen since the days
of the 1928-29 boom period.
Henderson banks were quick to
weather the storm of the dark days of
1882 and early 1888. Faith in men and
things was restored and with a grad
ual increase in jobs old obligations
were liquidated, business concerns
improved their status and capital be-
gan again to venture out
Then came 1884 and the re-paving
of Garrett street, the city's main
business artery, and the installation
of the white way, perhaps the great
est single forward step in self-adver-
Using the city ever made. It was the
cut to main street merchants, and an
era of modernization of store fronts
and interiors set in. More electric
signs, things of beauty as well as OF
a commercial value to their owners
went up to decorate the business Sec
ton at night.
Two years ago there was notice
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-09-15

able upturn in residential and busi
ness building, and that trend has con-
tinued until today it is moving at a
pace unequalled since before the de-
preston.
One evidence of the great change
that has come over the city is the
acute scarcity of residential accom-
modations. Desirable homes are at a
premium and more new ones are be-
ing built and more being remodeled
and repaired than in many years.
Many thousands of dollars are going
into homes, apartments and business
structures.
In 1885 the city launched upon the
greatest school construction program
in it's history, giving it a high school
that is in every sense of the word
modern and up-to-date and adequate
for needs for some years to come.
Also a new school was built at North
Henderson and four rooms added at
South Henderson. Schools at Dabney
and Middleburg also received added
facilities All these city units are be-
ing utilized for the first time with the
opening of the fall term last week.
And now comes the underpass It is
Henderson's first acquisition of the
kind. It will connect Church and
Charles streets under the main line
and spur tracks Of the Seaboard Air
Line railroad, crossing both William
J and Garrett streets. It will cost ap-

proximately $15O,0OO, including some
$4,000 the city is paying for property
rights in the path Of the construction
program. If property being given by
the railroad itself is added to the
cost, it will run the total up to
around $4,000 to $4,000. Some $780,
900 for actual construction is being
furnished from Federal WPA funds
for underpasses and grade crossing
eliminations.
Work on the underpass has been
started and 1t Is expected to require
some eight to ten months for con-
struction.
A brand new tobacco warehouse has
just been completed and two or three
of the others have been greatly en-
larged. Cotton gins have been greatly
modernized by the addition of new
machinery.
New service stations for motorists
have also been erected and others
have been enlarged and remodeled.
These are only some of the high
lights of the modernization program
Henderson has launched in the past
few years. The city has apparently
caught the habit and the end is not
yet in sight. Henderson is moving
rapidly along to a great and rapid
growth to larger and more modern
city, one which its own people and the
State as a whole may justly be proud
of.

other houses Cotton gin facilities are
modern, we'll equipped, and their eff
ficient operation afford highest prices
for cotton. Warehouse management
is most efficient and unexcelled;

time that higher prices for both to-
bacco and cotton will be paid to far
mers this fall. The people in Hen

income from the sale of their crops.
Our interests are mutual. The farm

In Henderson there are three or
CARNATIONS that fall in the classifi-
cations generally termed civic clubs.
They are the Rotarians, Kiwanians,
the Lions.
There are, to be sure, several
groups of women who function in a
manner somewhat remotely akin to
the civic clubs, and in some reckon
ings are so classed when the inclu-
sion is broad enough. But to under
take to enumerate them would be fu-
tile. for fear that some might be
omitted, to the regret and misfortune
Of any one who tried such an emil
meration. And so that will not be
undertaken.
The Rotary club was the first of
the three civic bodies to come to
Henderson. 1t is now about ID years
ago that that event took place. But
the club has been active continuous
ly ever since, and during the time has
numbered many of Henderson's lead
ing business men in its membership
The club had it's season Of depres-
sion, but has staged a rather remark

condition it has enjoyed in a long
