Lto purchase samples of sausages

fish LICENSE NOW MAILABLE PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS
Anglers Are Urged lo Prepsre Themselves
Immediately
Although this is not the time
ot year to fish in this part of the
country, anglers would do well to
procure their fishing license early
Oounty Treasurer Jobn R. Dun-
kle says that much inconvenience
is occasioned by people waiting
until tbe last minute to secure
licenses of sll kinds. This was
shown last fall by the great rash
ot hunters on tbe day before tbe
season to tbe coanty treasurers
office to get their licenses. Tbe
office was crowded all day and
long waits were neeessiated a
number o, sportsman being' delayed on their scheduled trip to
bunting camps.
There are now plenty of license
blanks at the treasurer's office,
bat when the balmy springtime
arrives aud the old spring Iret
comes over tho disciples of Izaak
Walton, and their is a great longing to go fishing, the rush to the
office for licenses may exaast the
the supply as it did the hunters
license two years ago, and require
tbe fisherman to wait some time
belore a new supply can be secured.
So get in on tbe ground floor
and procure your license. It
will keep. Almost everybody
opens the trout season in April,
and these fisherman will find it
convenient to have tbeir licenses
in plenty of time, so tbat tbey
wiil not be required to bother
getiog them when.they are Jbney
getibg^'ready  tor ..£beir   fishing
Eery citizen over the age 6.

this state and adjacent thereto

following the date of issue. No

of this act, shall on conviction, be

cer to the fish commissioner of

In comparatively recent times
many Pennsylvania farmers have
been tbe victms of uncrupulons
swindlers selling anything from
State Colleg bulletin subscript-sons
to stock in what wonld later
piove to be a mythical or mismanaged business enterprise.
When  a   stranger approaches
you with a  brilliant hued  proposition that you have heard nothing about, make sore of bis credentials.    It   is reported that a
promoter was aotive in Pennsylvania   not  long  ago, poshing a
questionable agricultural development  proposition.      He   dissap-
eared atter making a "clean up"
on bogus stock.    State   college-
agricultural    bulletins are issued
free to all who ask for them,   yet
at a recent time it was reported
that a man was collecting money
for subscriptions to these bulletins
There have been many such in-
stances, but if farmers and others
will take tbe trouble to consult
the County Agent ot Farm Bureau
officials before speculating in unknown deals, tbey  will probably
be able to save themselves mate-'
rial losses.

and tbe recall a-arm waa sounded

men narrowly missed colliding
with the evening passenger train
on tbe local division at Fourth

a mistake, as Chiet Bash informed us that they were halt a mils
I away.
