Since tbe opening of the door

Weak thousands ot the fleet-footed
animals bave been alain in the
atate, in tact oot for a loog period
of years, hove ao maoy. deer beea
takea by too hunters. Maoy
mountainous sections bava be
come inhabited since the opeoiog
of tbe aeaooo, ood hunters aro to
hi tound in tbe frilda ot the state
in large numbers. The Seven
mountains is a popular section lor
tbe gunners and tbe cabius filled
with men ere to be tound most
anywhere. Six deer is the limit
allowed by law for each camp aod
many of theae were successful
their allotment within a couple ot
ye, wbile others were oot ao
successful. In the Immediate vicinity and especially io tbe Tiptou
ran section a number of bucks
have beea shot. This sectioa is a
atural retreat for tbe deer eod
amplo protection io the tbiek underbrush hi afforded. Iu recent
yeara they bave become unusally
numbers, in foot to such an extent
.that they have beoome a nuisance
to tbe farmers aod others residing
lo tbat part ot Antis township.
Tbe farmers gladly welcome the
slaughter of tbe deer ood many

Id bave been thrown open for
I killing of doea, aa haa beeo
io other counties in previous
Vpamin-jHbe field and are high on
the mountsiu tope. Tbeir presence in the fields ia aaid to be
due to the feet tbat the natural
forage ia quite scarce in toe woods
and they oome into tbe ooro and
wheat fields tor food. It is said
tbat should tbe ensuing winter be
severe it will be necessary tor tbe
sportsmen to take feed to tbe
woods.
The reported kill of deer laat
season was 12,000 ood it ia
thought tbis number will be
greatly exceeded thia year, aome
predicting that the gunners may
take at leaat 15,000.

Governor Fisher of Pennsylvania, issued a Christmas proclamation calling upon tbo people of
the State to respond liberally to
tbe appeal of the Boor Eaat Relief
for fooda to carry oo ita work of
supporting 88,000 orphan children
whom it baa salvaged in the wako
of war, famine and digester in tbe
Near East.
It ia the daty ot every - citizen
of tfae Commonwealth, the Governor pointed oot, to ahare io tbo
maintenance ot tbo life-saving
orpbinages ood hospitals of the
Near Eaat by contributing generously, at tbie happy season, to
their support.
Fifty-five per oaot of these or
pbans, the Near Eaat Belief
appeal points out, ara oot yet in
thair 'teens. The some of $5 a
month or $60 a year, will provide
food, clothing aod shelter for one
of these unfortunates, while $100
a year will gareotee food, clothing
sod abetter, together with oo education.
Governor Fisher's proclamation
ia aa follows:
"Pennsylvania baa responded
generously every Christmas season to the unprecedented humanitarian work ot the Near East
Relief. I aha certain oar people
wiil oot taro a deaf ear to this
appeal aa long oa tbey are assured
