Trucks in Demand on
the Mexican Frontier
J. A. Bentz, local distributor for the;
Jeffery pleasure cars and motor trucks, l
in speaking of the demand for trucks, [
referred to an instance since the!
Mexican border where the Jeffery j
company were called on and respond- )
ed with an immediate delivery of;
twenty-seven trucks within twenty
four hours. These are now used forj
transporting army supplies on the!
sands of Mexico.
"The use of trucks on the battle- j
tinld," said Mr. Bentz, "for carrying !
ammunition, and for actual fighting, j
and behind the lines for transporting
provisions and other war supplies, has
demonstrated beyond the question of a
doubt the superior ability of trucks
to handle transportation work on a
big scale efficiently and at high speed. !

CO-OPERATION TO
BE LUNCH THEME
Executive Committee of Heat
Estate Board to Hold Ses-
sion Tuesday
DISCI SS NATIONAL BOABD
Problem of City's Bepresenta
tion at New Orleans May
Be Threshed Out
Further plans for obtaining definite
and comprehensive co-operation of the
realty men and builders who comprise
the Harris burg Real Estate Board will
be discussed at a luncheon Tuesday of
the members of the executive com
mittee.
The meeting will be held at 12.30
: o'clock in the dining room of tlie Met
; ropolltan and for an hour the guiding
committee of Hnrrisburg's recently or
ganized body of "home developers"
will thresh out the odds and ends of
a scheme which aims not only to enlist
all the real estate men in the city in
its ranks, but provides for a thorough
system of helpful co-operation among
all the members.
The committee consists of Herman
i P. Miller, president of the board; Ed
ward Moeslein, C. Vernon Rettew,
Charles Adler, H. M. Bird, M. R. Alle
; man, the Rev. W. S. Harris, A. C.
Young and George A. Shreiner.

mally over Harrlflburg'B representation
at the convention of the National Real
Fstate Board In New Orleans. The
New Orleans meeting will be held
March 27-28 and it is fully expected
; that at least one and perhaps more
members of the local body will attend,
■lust who will go, however, hasn't been
decided, as Ihe opening of a long
' delayed Spring season will keep local
j men on the jump.
President Miller has appointed a
committee, consisting of Edward Mocs
| lein. George A. Shreiner and C. Vernon
; Rettew, to represent the Harrlsburg
hoard, and it is possible that either

NO FISH LICENSE
FOR YOUNGSTERS
Commissioner Points Out Need
For Revenue to Develop
State Hatcheries
Fishermen of Pennsylvania lmve
taken up the proposition for a hunters'
license to supply the State Department,
of Fisheries with a definite fund from
which to draw the money for propa
gation, protection and ot her work,
along the same lines as the hunters'
license fund, and there is discussion
under way from the Delaware to the
Ohio. The idea has been supported
in many quarters and "knocked" in
others. The State Department of Fish
eries Is going right through with the
proposed legislation and believes that
the success of the hunters' license will
insure that of the fishermen.
The Department of Fisheries in a
statement on the matter issued to-day
says:
"This question is one that should be
looked upon by all in a broad-minded
way. There are three classes of fisher
men in the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania—the fishermen who fish in
our Great flakes and our tidal waters
for commercial purposes, an industry
which is of much importance to ail
the people of Pennsylvania on account
of the enormous food supply which is
produced and which can only lie kepi
up and conserved by artificial propa
gation; the sportsman who fishes for
the sport and recreation whicl- he re
ceives and which cannot be e< imated
in dollars and cents. The department
believes that every sportsman will
agree with it that the time spent upon
a stream is an absolute rest and he
goes back to his place of business a
better citizen and better able to cope
with the duties which confront him.
Another class is the class who fish for
the purpose of securing a string of
fish tor food. The last two clusses are
about equally divided.
"The fishermen's license bill is be--
lug drawn up so that it will not be
come a hardship upon any particular
person. The boy and girl under a cer
tain age will be Tree to fish without a
license.
"The fishermen may as well under
stand that in order to mrai the many
quest ions confronting the Department
of Fisheries in tire proper manner,
more funds must be available for the
use of the department. The money
derived from the fishermen's license
will be used by the Department of
Fisheries for the extensive propagation
of fish for planting the streams of
I lie Commonwealth for the benefit of
all the people .and It Is a well-known
fact that it is useless to plant in our
Inland waters small fish, as the de
partment cannot longer depend upon
the natural production in the various
streams, but must plant fish of almost
catchable size. This means that the
fish must be held at the hatcheries
until they reach a length of from four
to six Inches.
"The department Is flooded with ap
plications front all sources for every
species far beyond anything 11 ever ex
pected or anticipated. To fulfill these
demands the hatcheries will have to
be fully developed and enlarged. The
demands made upon the department
for fish can be met If funds are avail
able for the carrying out of the plans
as formulated."
