Federal Judge Johnson Founds Hunt-
ing Club.
Early in April Judge Albert W.
Johnson, of Lewisburg, who presides
over the U. S. court for the Middle
district of Pennsylvania, in connec-
tion with Judge J. Warren Davis, of
the U. S. circuit court, purchased 150.
acres of land for a private hunting
and fishing preserve. The land is de-
scribed as lying in the “famous Sugar
valley section, between Bellefonte and
Lock Haven.” About one-third of the
tract is fertile farm land and the bal-
ance woodland.
Sand run courses through the tract
and last Saturday the Jadge claims
to have caught the limit of trout.
During the morning’s sport he saw
thirty-seven deer. The property is
five miles from any habitation and is
1750 feet above sea level, according
to the Judge in an interview in Har-
risburg on Wednesday.
—One half of Centre county’s Near
East Relief quota of $8,861 has been
raised while no report has been re-
ceived from a number of the districts.
Any one wishing to contribute will
kindly send money or pledge to
Charles M. McCurdy, Bellefonte.

“Push Button” Latest Device Avail-
able in Radio Field.
The “push button” radio, with
which one automatically selects sta-
tions will be made available to manu-
facturers who desire to use it, ac-
cording to control right on the latest
radio invention.
McDonald acquired rights to the
new radio from H. N. Marvin and
A. J. Vasseli, the New York inventors.
The device, literally, realizes the
remark frequently made by radio
fans, “pretty soon, all you’ll have to
do will be to push a button to get
the stations you want.”
‘The new sets differ little in ap-
pearance from the ordinary ones.
However, ten, twenty or more but-
tons constitute the tuning apparatus.
Lying abed in the evenings the au-
ditor can touch a button and instant-
ly tune in his favorite station or
switch stations instantly without tun-
ing.
A panel containing the tuning but-
tons, may be separated from the ra-
dio, according to Irving Hendriott,
associated with McDonald and placed
at any point in the house, if so de-
signed.
Rights to the new tuning system
will be leased to other manufacturers
within a short time, according to Mec-
Donald.
One of the country’s largest manu-
facturers of radio is understood to
have begun negotiations for manu-
facturing rights to the “push button
radio.”

Wildcats in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania, known throughout
the land as the best State for hunt-
ing east of the Rockies, has many
animals in its woods besides those
listed as game. Last month 10,091
noxious animals were killed. The
Game Commission says many others
were shot, but no claims were made
for the bounty.
Wildcats, believed by many persons
to be extinct in the State, are still
fairly numerous. There were ninety-
two killed in March alone, according
to the official reports. Two of these
were shot in Perry county.
Grant Sheaffer, of Landisburg, suc-
ceeded in bringing one of them down,
and the other was killed by J. W.
Fenton, New German, who is a game
refuge keeper. Sheaffer killed three
gray foxes and two weasels upon
which he collected State bounty and
Fenton killed four gray foxes and
three weasels.
A Job We'd Like.
In Berlin they tell the story of a
German who in the days of the slip-
ping mark came bustling into a fash-
ionable restaurant with a big valise
crammed with bank notes.
“Hooray,” he cried, “I've got a job
on the state railroad, and here’s my
first day’s pay.”
“What kind of a job is it?” he was
asked.
“Well,” he answered, “you know
there’s a chap at each station who
goes the length of the train tapping
the axles with a hammer to see if
everything’s all right?”
“Yes.”
“Well, I'm his listener.”

Planting Nut Trees New Experiment.’
Planting of nut trees is compara-
tively new in this country, says the
American Tree Association of Wash-
ington. Until within the last 10 years,
except in the regions where commer-
cial nut raising had become estab-
lished: the individual’s proposal to
plant trees for the raising of nuts
was usually met by scornful comment.
In some European countries nut and
fruit trees along the roads are sources
of material profit.

REQUIREMENTS FOR
TROUT FISHERMEN.
Trout season opened at midnight,
April 15 ad continues until July 31.
Sunday fishing is not allowed.
Night fishing is permitted.
Use of nets, outlines or explosives
is prohibited.
Fishing license, costing $1.60 must
be obtained from the county treasur-
er’s office at the court house.
License certificate must be signed
and carried on person and license but-
ton must be displayed.
Penalty for no license is $25 fine.
Daily limit of trout six inches long
or more, is twenty-five. No limit is
set for the season. :
Penalty for under-size fish is $10
fine for each fish.
Penalty for exceeding daily limit
of twenty-five is $10 fine for each fish
found on person.
Selling fish or exchanging for mer-
chandise is prohibited by law.
Every fisherman owes a duty to
guard against forest fires. Extinguish
matches, cigarets, cigars or pipe care-
fully and make sure sparks are out
before passing on.
Encouraged by reports that streams
in Northeastern Pennsylvania have
been more completely stocked than
ever before many fishermen in Wyom-
ing county on the first morning of the
season were wending their way to
their favorite pools in search of the
elusive and delectable brook and
brown trout.
Tre trout season will continue un-
til the last day in July. For the first
two weeks of the season it is seldom
that fancy flies are used as bait, the
novelty of nibbling at worms, min-
nows or other live bait not having
worn off the trout. After about two
weeks, however, the trout become
wary and it is then the real masters
with gaudy flies reap their reward,
both in their pride in accomplishment
and in large catches.
The fly caster has a more difficult
time getting his trout than do the
fishermen who depend upon worms,
minnows and similar bait, being
forced to wade into the pools after the
trout that have become educated to
the dangers from hooks and must be
tempted to bite at the gaudy bits of
feathers wafted back and forth on the
surface by the anglers.
The smaller brook variety of trout
are more eagerly sought by fishermen
than are the larger brown trout which
are not so good for food and which
hold lower rank in the opinion of the
anglers because they give up the bat--
tle after a less determined struggle
than do the brook trout. An eight
inch brown trout is hardly considered
worth hauling in by the old time fish-
erman but a brook trout of the same
size will put up a stiff fight for life
and provide a more tasty meal than
his brown cousin. A twelve-inch
brook trout will fight harder before i:
is landed in the creel than will an
eighteen-inch brown beauty.
Seventeen Year Locust Does Not Eat
Foliage.
Many inquiries are going to the
Bureau of Plant Industry, Pennsyl-,
vania Department of Agriculture, in:
regard to the damage that may ‘be:
expected this year from the visit of
the seventeen-year locusts.
These locusts ave not foliage eaters,
the bureau entomologists explain, and
consequently the damage will be en-
tirely different from the damage done
by the Japanese beetle.
The food of the locusts is secured
by sucking juice from living plant tis-
sue, but even this does no particular
harm to the plants. The real dam-
age results when the female locusts
cut slits in the tender bark of twigs
into which they deposit their eggs.
When these eggs hatch, the larvae
cause further splitting of the bark
which greatly weakens the twig. De-
cay often starts and the heavy winds
of summer with tke additional growth
of the twigs soon cause the small
limbs to break down.
The locusts are expected to make
their appearance during the latter
part of May, and will likely be most
abundant during June and July. They
are usually most common in or near
wooded areas.

Airships to Travel Years Without A
Stop, Rickenbacker Says.
Peering into the future less than a
generation away, Captain Edide V.
Rickenbacker, World War Ace, has
visioned a world revolutionized by air
transportation.
“Many of you will live to see the
time when great air liners, many
times the size of the dirigible Los
Angeles, will travel for two or three
years without landing,” Captain Rick-
enbacker told members of the Athen-
ian-Nile club.
“They will girdle the earth time
and again at a speed close to 100
miles an hour,” he continued.
“Airships like the Los Angeles will
be ferry boats, transporting passen-
gers and cargo to these air liners.
Passengers and cargo will be trans-
ferred to these sky liners 10,000 feet
in the air while the liner is cruising
along at a 50-mile an hour speed.
“Air traffic is going to revolution-
ize business. The merchant who now
buys on a 30, 60 or 90 day basis, will
be able to buy on a 10, 20, or 30 day
basis. Losses due to poor buying, ob-
solescense and seasonal conditions
will be reduced to a minimum.
“I tell you we've got to run mighty
fast to keep from standing still.”
State to Buy Eggs to Propagate
Pheasants.
The State Game Commission of
Pennsylvania has started an innova-
tion by purchasing ring-neck pheas-
ant eggs and hatching them out on
the State game preserves. Officials
of the Commission decided to propa-
gate the birds because of their scarc-
ity and difficulty of buying them in
the open market.
J. B. Truman, executive secretary
of the Commission, has announced
that 10,000 pheasant eggs would be
purchased, 5000 of them coming from
the New York Game Commission.
Ordinary barnyard hens will be used
in the hatching.

Curiosities in Justice.
Over a century ago the father of
Benjamin Disraeli wrote a volume en-
titled Curiosities of Literature. There
is an alluring field open in the United
States at the present time for some-
one to write a volume with a similar
title, Curiosities of Justice. As ma-
terial for such a volume we offer two
Associated Press dispatches which re-
cently appeared in the same issue of
2 New York newspaper. Here is the
rst:
LIFE TERM FOR 33-CENT HOLD-UP.
Buffalo, March 2.—Convicted of
stealing thirty-three cents in a hold-
up, Robert Ayres, a Negro, of Lack-
awanna, N. Y., was sentenced today
to life imprisonment in Auburn Pris-
on as a fourth offender under the
Baumes Law. He admitted three pre-
vious convictions for felonies.
The second was a dispatch to the
effect that Harry F. Sinclair, one of
the Unitedsharo tao tao tao aooiiii
our best known citizens, the man who
was branded by the Supreme Court of
the United States with the stigma of
corruption for his plot to get hold of
oil reserves worth untold millions,
was planning to take a trip to Europe
even though under jail sentence.
Steal thirty-three cents and you
may get a life imprisonment.
Try to “get away with millions,”
and you are likely to get a trip to
Europe!—Christian Advocate.
Just a little talent, combined with
genuine industry and persistence, will
carry almost any person to a fair
degree of success.
