Warns Also that Hooter Season Patrols Will
 Be Made

It is against the law to shoot any ducks one may happen to see 'out the Glacier Highway. Executive or ficer of the Game Commission Frank Dufresne made that statement to- day
 There is no game open to resi- dent or resident shooters, now, said Dufresne. If non-residents want to shoot crows or eagles, they must get nonresident small game license which costs Sl0.''
 Dufresne also called attention to the fact that the "hooter" season. when the cock grouse will begin to make his throaty call for the hens attention, will be here shortly
 "Hooter hunters had better make other plans" Dufresne said. We will have regular patrols to see that this bird is not molested dur ing his mating season"

these lessons in His dealings with men
and women in the course of His min

-quainting Boys With Meth
DDS OF Conservation
SCENERY DIFFERS FROM
THAT OF THIS SHORE

Lee w. Adkins, Mervin Disharoon
Frederick Pusey and Clarence Perdue

Worcester County to the annual All
Hartford County Conservation Camp
held at Rocks, Maryland. The camp
opened at noon on Wednesday, August
oath and continued until Saturday, Au
gust 9th at 1890 A. M.

of acquainting boys of the several
counties delegated with the proper
methods of game and soil conservation
and also to help bring about a fell
lowship among the boys and their
leaders.
The boys were fortunate in being
able to meet Mr.. E. Lee .LeCompte,
State Game Warden and to hear an
address by him. Throughout the
course the boys heard talks by men
of experience on the following SUBJ
jects: Propagation of Game Birds in
Captivity;" Farmer and Sportsman
Relationship" "Maryland's Fish Con-
servation and Propagation Program,
Improving the Natural Habitat of
our Wild Life," and "Our Maryland
Forest Trees" The talks were illus
trated by movies.
On Friday the boys were taken to
White Hall Soil Erosion Camp where
they enjoyed dinner served to them
in the camp mess hall, followed by a
field trip viewing the soil conserva-
tion projects of the camp which prov
ed very beneficial.
The scenery, which was very differ
ent from that enjoyed by the people
of the Eastern Shore, was greatly en-
joyed by the boys from Worcester
County, as well as the good food SER
we'd in army style and good swimming.
Beside the educational value of the
camp the boys feel that they have
really gained lot through fellowship
with fellow All workers from other
All Chapters.

from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, / saw a picture In paper
the other day, showing a man in al
automobile and little pig resting its
paws-maybe it would be more cor
rect to call 'em 'hoofS-on the steer
ing wheel. Reckon that was to foo
the public into the belief that it was
driving the car.
All got to say it, hope the owner
won't allow that swinish pet of his to
continue practice at driving until ii
grows up; for, the Lord knows, we
get too many road hogs on the high
way now. Better introduce that
squealer to a butcher before it gets
too big. It's feet, ankles, and shoul-
ders would look better on the table
than behind a steering wheel.
But it all goes to show. that you
can't beat the Eastern Shore along
any lines. Not long ago, there was
a singing mouse startling the operate
world. There was a canary bird
which preferred feather bed to it's
swinging roost in its gilded prison.
There was a cat that didn't hesitate
to dive for its piscatorial meal-and
you know how a cat hates water.
There was another feminine feline
that mothered nest of baby rats
the mother rat probably developing
too intimate an acquaintance with a
steel trap. There was a snake that
had formed very intimate acquaint-
ance with frog-an outside intimacy,
I mean,-and a toad forms a dainty
meal for the most epicurean specimen
of the genus Ophidia. There was man
down here who carried in his pocket
q stone, nothing but pebble at first,
but it grew until it was too heavy
to carry around; that is, it was too
heavy to carry when I saw it, I can't
speak from experience as to its size
when it began to be used for pocket
piece.
And so I might go on ad ibitum,
de profundis, alb initio, pluribus
unum, sic semper tprannis, and the
rest of it, but I won't. sent an ac-
count of all these phenomena to Rip
ley for his Believe it or Not" feature;
but he said he didn't believe a word
of it-only he put a qualifier before
"word", which is not always print
able; and, as long as he did not be-
ieve it, he couldn't use it. All I got
to say is. if he believes every word
he wants us to believe he's got q
conscience-or else not.
How-some-ever, I'm sorta wander
ing far afield. It's far cry from
a piggy-wiggy to the famous "Be-
ieve-it-or-Not", but this column is a
veritable go-as-you-please course;
and, talk about poetic license, it isn't

Corporation Tax Is
so Cents For 1888

At the regular meeting of the
Mayor and City Council, the tax
rate was set at 80 cents, a de-
crease of 10 cents over the rate
for 1897. No doubt this drop
will be greatly appreciated.
1t was also stated that the as
sessible basis for Pocomoke
City for 1887 was, $3,120,0O0.
This year it is $3,195,O0O, an in
crease of $4,000. This shows
an encouraging growth.
