Do not forget that the State
Game Commission offers to pay
for feed given to quail during the
period when these little fellows
cannot find sufficient food. Have
your claims properly vouched for
and send to the Commission at
Harrisburg. For all it costs, al
most any one can, however, af
ford to feed those on his own
place in return for the insects
they destroy. We know of some
hunters who feed quail in places
where hunting is permitted.

The next thing will be to reverse
the arrangement of "rooms with
baths," they will become "baths
with room." We have rapidly

enough teachers to go 'round.

booklet contains the pictures of
nearly all the birds we see on

Editor News, and the News
family to all a happy New Year,
is my wish.
Being a constant reader of the
News, I see many items of inter
est, some of which I wish to men
tion and comment upon. The
shocking act of Frank P. Brewer
leads one to wonder what might
be the motive for such a man. in
seemingly pleasant circumstan
ces, to commit suicide.
The bitter war now being wag
ed against the granting of liquor
licenses leads me to say that my
position as postmaster at this place
affords an opportunity for me to
make an estimate of the amount
of money sent away by private
individuals for booze. Money
goes away in sums of from $2.50
to $19.00, and yet, there seems to
be no move made to stop the man
ufacturer's wheeU. We know
men are robbing their families of
necessaries in order to keep the
booze jug full.
Mr. Lauder's suggestion that
the State take over the schools,
and levy a 3-mill tax for their
support, to start on, sounds very
well but where will it stop? I
was a member of the Taylor town
ship school board when the first
appropriation gun was fired, and
the l-mill tax we then had, gave
us as good teachers as we now
have under an 8-mill tax. My
idea of the movement is that it
is a fake. I would like to hear
from my old schoolmate, Webster
Baker, and others, on this sub
ject. They are able writers and
should give us their views.
