SEVERAL CHANGES IN STATE
HUNTING LAWS.
Changes in the resident hunters’ li-
cense law of 1913, made by amend-
ments passed by this year’s State
Legislature, will affect every hunter
in the State. The changes are out-
lined by the Board of Game Commis-
sioners, as follows:
1. Requiring presentation of nat-
uralization papers to county treasur-
ers before licenses may be issued to
naturalized foreign-born residents.
2. Requiring licenses to be coun-
tersigned before they are valid.
3. Requiring display of the license
tag on the outer garment on the back
between the shoulders instead of on
the back of the sleeves between the
elbow and shoulder as heretofore.
4. Prohibiting the display of any
license tag exeept for the current
year.
5. Requiring county treasurers to
issue all licenses, as has been the re-
Ships Coaled at 60 Tons a Minute.
The world’s record for fast coaling
of a single ship developed a rate of
over 60 tons a minute. This is what
the new Baltimore & Ohio railroad at
Baltimore is able to-accomplish. In
that respect the pier is acknowledged
to be the greatest of all coaling
agents. Recently the steamer Malden
was loaded there with 7222 tons of fu-
{ el in 118 minutes, or a rate of 3670
! tons an hour.
The coal reaches the pier in car load
lots from the mines. The coaling op-
eration is different from most other
piers of its kind because the cars do
not go out on the platform. Special
transporting devices in which the end-
less belt is a feature of this work.
The gondola railway cars with their
coal contents handled by two huge car
dumpers located near the land end of
the pier. By force of gravity and ca-
ble the cars are drawn to the top of
the dumper and there rest in a cradle
which overturns them sideways so
that the coal falls into a bin and
thence to the conveyor belts.
These belts carry the coal out on the
pier and distribute it to four loading
towers which are exactly opposite to
the ship hatches. From these towers
the coal is sent by gravity through
FARM IMPLEMENTS
MANUFACTURED.
The story of the manufacture of
farming equipment during the year
1920 contains some striking facts in
addition to showing what a colossal
business this is in the United States.
In round numbers the value of the
farm machinery made for farmers
amounted to $537,000,000—more than |
half a billion. And the startling thing
about it is that a machine unknown a |
few years ago comprised more than
one-third the value of all the imple-
ments made. This is the gas tractor,
the feature of the market. The value
of gas tractors made last year was
over $180,000,000.
The making of steam traction en-
gines has not been abandoned, for
there were about $5,000,000 worth of
these furnished the farmers, but the
figures show that it was a small item
compared with the gas tractors.
Next to the tractor came the plow,
for ages the symbol of farming. The
value of the plows made was more
than $45,000,000. But close to the
plows came harvesting machinery
which represented a value of more
than $41,000,000. Haying machinery
came high with a value of $25,000,000,
while planting machinery was close
| THUNDER STORM CAUSED.
| ICE CREAM SODA INVENTION.
A summer thunder shower forty-
‘one years ago resulted in the “inven-
| tion” of ice cream soda, according to
| Fred Sanders Jr., of Detroit, whose
grandfather, Fred Sanders, claimed
| the distinction of having discovered
this American institution.
. Speaking of his grandfather’s dis-
covery Mr. Sanders said:
“Forty years ago the American peo-
| ple regarded ice cream much as the
{lily that could be painted. At that
‘time they ‘took it straight. Syrups
were in general use in drink concoc-
| tions, but the ice cream sundae and its
| many near relatives were unknown.
| Carbonated water was used by the so-
{da dispensers in a popular drink
| known as sweet cream soda. Its chief
| ingredient was sweet cream, direct
! from the farm.
“The thunder shower that brought
about my grandfather’s discovery
came in the summer of 1880. He was
| conducting a soft drink parlor and the
| storm caused the sweet cream he had
intended for sodas to sour. Just after
| the storm passed a wedding party
dropped in and my grandfather volun-
teered to experiment until he found a
substitute drink. He tried several

The commission is given power to
revoke any license or deny any one the
right to get a license for from one to
five years for violations of the game
and bird protection laws, if a person
is unfitted physically or mentally to
carry firearms or use them for hunt-
ing purposes, or while intoxicated;

Commonwealth, or personal property
of any kind on and upon which the
person may be hunting, or if the hunt-
er has been careless and caused in-
jury to human life or livestock, or has
caused forest fires. :
The penalty for hunting prior to ex-
piration of the date fixed is $40 for
each day.
1921 HUNTERS’ LICENSES TO BE DE-
LIVERED SOON.
The first 1921 hunters’ licenses ure
expected to be delivered within a short
time and as soon as possible the State
Game Commission officials will start
to ship the light green tags to coun-
ty treasurers. Hunters will be requir-
ed this year and hereafter to wear the
tags on their backs. Since the license
law became operative the salmon pink,
light blue and other colored tags used
have been worn on the arms, but this,
according to the commission, has not
been as satisfactory always as desir-
able for identifying hunters and the
middle of the back is now the speci-
fied place. As usual there are people
asking for special license numbers as
n.any do for automobile numbers each
year.

Why the Keystone State?
There have been several theories
, advanced as to the manner in which
| the appellation “Keystone State” was
| first applied to Pennsylvania.
The one most generally accepted,
and most dear to Pennsylvanians, is
that Pennsylvania decided the great
issue of American independence. This
| occurred at the meeting of the Conti-
{ nental congress at Philadelphia, July
{ 4th, 1776, when the vote of adopting
the Declaration of Independence was
taken by the States. Of the original
thirteen States, six had already voted
in the affirmative and six in the nega-
| tive, but when the delegation from
{ Pennsylvania came in John Merton
| cast the deciding vote in the affirma-
i tive. Thus Pennsylvania by her vote
i decided the great issue, and it was
! named the “Keystone State.”
{Another reason advanced is that in
| constructing a bridge between Penn-
{ sylvania avenue and Georgetown,
| Washington, D. C., a single arch was
erected of stones left from building
i the walls of the capitol. On the 13
“yvaussoirs,” or arch-stones the names
of the 18 States were engraved. The
| name of Pennsylvania fell in the key-
j stone of the arch, and the State be-
| came still more widely known as the
| “Keystone State.”—Ex.

known that the place to get the best
farming machinery was in the United
States. They have been coming to us
for years, and they did not forget the
way last year, in spite of the slimness
of their purse.
And the article that led here led in
the rest of the world. The value of
the foreign sales of tractors was more
than $30,000,000, nearly one-sixth of
the total output. Next came plows,
which were exported to the tune of
$19,000,000—nearly one-half of the
output of the factories here. The
third item of the foreign demand was
in the line of harvesting machinery
which was taken to the amount of
$7,000,000.—Ex.
SOLDIERS’ BATH SPOILED
BY CROCODILES IN POOL.
The beautiful marble swimming
pool created by Louis XIV between the
Trianon Palace and the Neptune Ba-
sin at Versailles, France, so that the
pages of the King might enjoy a dip
on hot days is now used by private
soldiers stationed in the barracks near
by.
During one recent torid spell about
50 buck privates were recuperating in
the pool from two hours’ drill in the
morning before the noon day meal.
Suddenly, with a terrified shriek, a
soldier sprang out of the baths:
“Crocodiles, Lieutenant, there are
crocodiles in the pool!”
“Put a blanket around this man and
take him to the guard house. He is
crazy with the heat,” said the Lieu-
; tenant.
Then with a concerted rush which
equalled anything ever shown against
the Germans, the other 49 bathers
leaped out. “Crocodiles, crocodiles!”
they shrieked.
Ship Chickens to Mexico.
Four thousand dollars’ worth of
pedigreed Lancaster county poultry
were shipped from Lancaster to New
York and thence by vessel to Vera
Cruz, Mexico.
The shipment was made by Charles
A. Ream, owner of the Pennsylvania
Poultry Farm. The buyers are Ar-
turo M. Delgora and M. Roberts, of
Mexico City, who went to Lancaster
especially to select stock of the
strains of three world champions
which are owned by Mr. Ream, name-
ly: Keystone Maid, white Leghorn,
306 egg record; Lady Victory, white
Leghorn, 304 egg record, and Liberty
Bell, white Wyandotte, 294 egg rec-
ord. The visitors chose 347 head of
fowls which Mr. Roberts, who is a
poultry fancier of wide experience,
declares are the “finest of fine.”
Their intention is to start an exten-
sive poultry ranch with the Lancaster
county birds as a nucleus, near to the
Mexican capital. They reserved a
special section of the ship for the
birds and will personally attend to
them on the ocean voyage.
One Million Egg Order from Pacific
Fleet.
Officers of the supply ships which
accompanied the United States Pacif-
ic fleet on its recent South American
cruise struck a staggering blow to the | §
pride of the Valparaiso, Chile, pro-
duce merchants, when one million eggs
were ordered for the 15,000 bluejackets
on the return voyage to American
waters.
Egg laying is not at high tide in
those latitudes at this season and it is
doubtful whether the Valparaiso mer-
chants were able to fill one-third of
all, the quality is the best.

The Lieutenant, a veteran of many
