Forestry Commissioner Conklin announces that he has al ready given permits to 3000 persous to hunt on State reservations, and it is probable there are that many more hunters outside the btate s land. A movement is now on foot to enlist the cooperation of the gover nors of all the states and the auth orities of every town and city in a campaign for a safe and sane cele bration of the nation's birthday anniversaries. 1 he plan provides for the selection of a national com mittee of which the president of the United States shall be chairman, which will be charged with the formulation of a plan of celebrating the anniversaries of the natal day in some manner that will cut out the annual toll of accidents. CIGARETTES. Notwithstanding efforts to break up the practice of cigarette smok ing by the youths of Bloomsburg, many of them seem to be able to obtain those articles somewhere. On Monday morning the writer's attention was called to a couple of youngsters, not more than twelve years old sitting on the coping of the Fifth Street school house puff ing away in perfect contentment. One can seldom walk along Main street without seeing boys, hardly out of knickerbockers,' with cigar ettes in their mouths. Enough has been said of this practice. We slmplv call attention to the fact 1 . . . 1 that it is not yet stamped out. MORE CRIMINAL CASES FROM WEST BERWICK. The Black Hand of West Ber wick and the stern hand of the law are grappling once more.

Two of these are rortutiato and Antonio Cala bro who were on trial in this conn ty a few years ago, and who have only recently completed terms in the Eastern Penitentiary. The allegation has been made that a body was buried in the Cal abro cellar in West Berwick, and a search has been made, but nothing has been found. The ?tate Constabulary is busily engaged in rounding up this gang, and it is very probable that results will be in evidence &t the next term of criminal court.

With almost the worst possible weatner conditions to contend against, the long distance run of the Berwick Marathon Association was held 011 Thanksgiving Day. The course, something over nine miles in length was covered with snow and mud, and a cold wind was blowing. Notwithstanding this twenty-eight runners left the scratch at the souud of the starter's pistol. The Berwick band gave a con cert at the time of the start, and at the finish. The crowd waited for somewhat less than an hour for the reappear ance of the racers. Iu fifty four minutes and sixteen seconds from the time of the start, the Indian, Tewani, crossed the line, breaking Williams' record of last year. The Indian team won first, sec ond, third, fourth, sixth and eighth prizes, as well as the team prize. Williams, the winner of last years' race, took seventh place. Considering the weather condi tions, the winner's time was re markable. Red Cross Stamps. Red Cross stamps are beginning to be seen on mail and express pack ages. The Red Cross society sends out word from Washington that it has printed an extra 10,000,000 stamps as the demand was much greater than was expected, aud the total number is now 40,000,000. The stamps will be distributed in all important centers of population. Bloomsburg will have a share.

Buy Red Cross stamps and use them. Howe's Moving Pictures. A large audience witnessed Howe's Moving Pictures at the Columbia Theatre last night. The films were all new and up to the Howe standard. The entertainment was given under the auspices of the Bloomsburg B aid. T. L. Gunton is President of the baud, aud has been longer in that position than any man in this section. He has given much time and labor for many years towards keeping up the organization. TRIED REMEDY FOR THE GRIP. mmm 'oUGHS COLD! WHY BOYS FAIL AT SCHOOL. They are Permitted to Loaf Too Much on the Street. Tareuts otten wonder, who or what has ruined their boys. They have been iu school every day, but the teacher either does not teach them any lessons in morality or else the teaching is a failure. Truth is the boys are on the street from time school closes until late at night. The s'.reet corner is the best place 111 the world for teaching vice, profligacy and crime. Nearly all the bad language and idle, vie ious habits of boys are taught on the streets at late hours in the night. Teachers may be able to accomplish a little in counteracting these evil influences, but much of their labor is in vain until parents cooperate with them to keep their boys eff the street.

Pennsylvania May Have the Largest in the World. It is almost nn assured fact that the State of Pennsylvania will be in possession of the largest fish hatchery in the woild after the next session of legislature has ex pired. The spot selected for the new hatchery is a plot of ground of from eight hundred to a thou sand acres in sie located on the Presque Isle peninsula at Pre-qne Isle Bay just opposite the city of Erie. Fish Commissioner Median yes terday received a letter from Con gressman Bates, of Meadville, who has prepared a bill for introduction to congress in which congress will be asked to carry into effect the at which the State legislature approv ed last April, namely the turning over to the department of fisheries of a large tract of land on Presque Isle peninsula for a State fish hatchery. In his communication to Com missioner Median, Congressman Bates requests the fishery depart ment to correspond with all con gressmen asking them to support the bill. The chairman of the con gressional committee to whom the bill has been referred has already expressed his approval of the measure. Presque Isle peninsula forms the outer boundary of Presque Isle bay, the only great harbor on Lake Erie. Under au act of the legislature many years ago Presque Isle penin sula was turned over to the United States government for certain pur poses. However only the northeast section has been used, a life-saving station and a lighthouse having been pressed into service there About four years ago a long strip of land at the western end of the city was ceded to the city of Erie for a storage of the water supply of that city The new fish hatchery will em brace all the land not used by the government and the city of Erie. It embraces between eight hun dred and a thousand acres aud con tains natural lakes from a half mile to a mile in length. The ponds are all shallow and splendidly adapted for hatchery purposes The installation of this hatchery will ( liable the propagation of fish like the black bass by the tens of millions and the muscallonge by the hundreds of millions. It will also enable the fishery departmeut to solve the problem of the propa gation and restoration of sturgeon. At present the peninsula is noth ing but a wilderness of impenetra ble thickness, big trees, under brush, poison ivy and mosquitoes. Under the terms of the act all plans and improvements of property will have to be approved by the United States engineer corps. This move ment was begun and is being urged by the board of trade and the chamber of commerce of Erie, al though it will be of much interest to the whole State. Fish Commis sioner Meehan said this morning that this hatchery will be five or six times larger than any other hatchery in the world, Pennsyl vania already having the two largest trout hatcheries in the world. Panic in Danville Theatre. A panic occured last evening in the Danville Opera House during a production by Murray and Mackey's Stock Company, when some one iu the balcony yelled "fight."
