Gov. Paul V. McNatt Invites Citizens to 1934 Indiana State Fair Gov. Paul V. McNutt Governor Paul V. McNutt, an Exofficio member of the Indiana Board of Agriculture believes that the 19:<4 Indiana State Fair, to be held this year from September 1 to 7, should be attended by every man. woman and child in Indiana. He says: “More and more the Indiana State Fair comes to represent every phase of the life of our great Hoosier State. This year an industrial show exhibiting Indiana made products is being added. < A new group of buildings, housing the newest feature of the fair "A Century of Progress in Education". is under construction. Indiana has as complete and fine a set of buildings for its state fair as any state in the nation. “Ever looking forward and watching for opportunities for improvement, the Indiana Board of Agriculture, under the direction of Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, Commissioner of Agriculture, has made the State Fair one of the most potent influences in the economic and social life of the State. The Girls Home Economics School and the Boys Club Camp are training future leaders in community betterment. Liberal premiums for every conceivable sort of agricultural product brings together the “cream” of the livestock industry; the "latest” in machinery; the culinary skill of the Hoosier housewife; and the racing kings of the harness world. "Those 'Pleasure Bent* can find the fullest satisfaction in the numerous entertainment features of the fair and no one need go away without having his own personal wishes satisfied. "For wholesome entertainment, for profitable Commercial enrichment, the Indiana State Fair offers marvelous opportunities to the citizens of the State. Unfortunate Is the person who is unable to attend and see for himself.” Bermuda’s Blue Laws Gaming, dicing, even "merry songs” were strictly prohibited on Bermuda Sabbaths during the reign of the Puritan Cromwell in the little English colony’s mother country. Plays were banned and swearing met with summary treatment throughout the week A writer gives an account of the measures taken to .enforce virtue in Bermuda during the Commonwealth. “The Bermudian church wardens, •upright, honest and sober in their carriage,’ were instructed to look into the ‘Hyes and conversations’ of the people, and. on Sundays, after the reading of the lesson, to leave the church and having stopped anyone loitering In the churchyard, to 'search the worst and most suspected places* with the purpose of sending to .divine service all who were not compelled by circumstances to be absent” Hark, Hark! the Scientist! Though one can Imagine nothing of less consequence than a popular tendency to exaggerate the duration of the skylark's song, there is always somebody at liberty for every little pinpricking job. One of South Shields, England, being intellectually hurt by the assertion of unthinking persons that skylarks often sang for half an hour and sometimes for as long as an hour, went to the outskirts of South Shields and held a stop watch on skylarks of the neighborhood. IBs doing are recorded in Nature, the British scientific publication, which brings the astounding news that this breaker of bubbles, this destroyer of illusions actually held the stop watch on 549 songs and found their average duration to be 2.22 minutes. The greatest duration of any single song was nineteen mlnutea—New York Sun. Aat-Lioa a Trapper The ant-lion, as its name suggests. Is a ferocious Insect in the kingdom of comparative-sized insects. It Is the larvae of a flying insect common in the United States. It derives its name from its strong, cruel jsws and the equally strong pincers at the ends of its front legs.

Lying tn a gallery leading off from the bottom of the tunnel, the ant-lion extends Its daws into the base of the funnel and waits. Ants and other insects falling or crawling down into the boles are seized tn the strong pincers of the antlion and dinner is served forthwith.

PRESERVING AMERICA’S WILD GAME SUPPLY Preserving our wild game has be/ come a national problem and one which must be solved soon if the United States is not to be deprived of many game animals which were once here in abundance, according to Ernest McGaffey, who writes in an interesting way in the current issue of the National Republic, under the caption “Preserving Our Wild Game.” In part, McGaffey says: “Time was in the early history of the United States, when the rifle and the spinning wheel were part of the invariable necessities of pioneer life. Long after the Six Nation tribes of Indians had disappeared from the eastern, and the Shawnees, Sacs and Fox tribes from the middle western areas, and before the pilgrimage westward and beyond the Mississippi River had begun, the settier depended on his rifle for his annual supply of meat. Deer furnished him with a plentiful supply of fresh venison, with an occasional black bear or wild turkey to vary his diet. Karely, did he waste a rifle buUet at smaller game during this period “The country east of the Mississippi teemed with game. In numbers and in variety it was almost incredibly prolific. Ruffled grouse squirrels, racoons, opossums, wild cats, panthers, wild turkeys and other game and wild animals roamed the woods, and on the prairies the pinnatea grouse and sand-bill cranes were in the thousands. Wildfowl, ducks, geese and swans darkened the air in their flight and the road of their pinions when their niyraids took wing from the marshes was like a roll of thunder. Wild pigeons swept past in flocks that numbered millions of birds. “As for the far west and along the Pacific coast, with the buffalo, anieloupe, elk, moose, mule deer, black, brown and grizzly bear, wild fowl in clouds grouse of various kinds, and game of all description, it was a hunter's paradise. “What have we now of all the vast numbers of that ■ colossal aggregation of outdoor life? A smattering that is all! It is of course not possible nor advisable to return to the days of the log cabin, and frontier life. But it is not too late to remind Americans that the rifle was used in those days for necessity's sake, and that no deer or bear was killed to have its. head exhibited as an evidence of the skill or prowess of a hunter, and no elk slain and left to rot for the sake of one of its teeth as a a lodge membership As to the latter practice, a celluloid tooth would suffice. “We have wasted our inheritance of furred and feathered game most shamefully. The buffalo and anteloupe are almost the grizzly bear nearly so, and elk and moose are getting scarcer every year. Deer except in a limited number of states, are few and far between. The wild pigeon and the heath hen are absolutely exterminated. Ducks and geese are being gradually and ruthlessly wiped out by ‘baiting ’ ‘by automatic and repeating shotguns, and by the ease with which hitherto remote districts are reached by the automobile. "No one can 'have his cake and eat it* is an old saying! And a true one. We cannot have our game and shoot and at the safne time not protect it, study its needs generally, and provide for its natural increase .by all means possible. We have travelled a long way forward over the highway of destruction Suppose we take some steps back towards the goal of restoration. We have a vivid and successful example i in the state of Pennsylvania, with a few other states making herculean efforts to bring about better conditions. But the Keystone State has shown the way above all other states of the Union.” y Good intentions sometimes turn out badly. A Kansas man, desiring not to disturb his wife at a late hour left his shoes on the front porch and the pup carried them across the street and left them on the porch of a pretty widow. —Exchange.

LAND FOR STATE HIGHWAY USE DOES NOT PAY TAXES INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—When additional right-of-way is acquired for the widening of existing state highways or new right-of-way is secured for new or relocated highways, the land so acquired or secured may be made exempt from taxation under Indiana statutes it was pointed out by James D. Adams, chairman of the State Highway Commission The question of the payment of the taxes on land taken for highway use is encountered frequently by right-of-way agents of the Highway Commission, he stated. * Under an act passed by the Indiana General Assembly in 1926, provision is made that real estate occupied by any railroad, interurban or street railway or -by any public highway shall be assessed against any adjacent property holder, except, the portion Ibeyond the line of the right-of-way of the railroad, interurban or street car company or the right-of-way used and occupied as a public highway. Other provisions of the act set out that when the landowner and assessor fail to agree on the amount of land to be exempted, the landowner shall bear the cost of a survey to determine the amount of laud in dispute. The act also sets out that where the lands occupied by highways have not been transferred by deed the full acreage of the land shall be assessed to the owner of the adjacent land with a prorata deduction given the owner of the land in land assessment value for so much as may be so occupied. The majority of land acquired by the State Highway Commission for widening existing state highways, and for new highways, is by. easement rather than deed, the easements providing that the land so designated is for highway purposes and reverts to the owner when it is no lohger used for that purpose. In some cases where the owner prefers, the land being secured for highway use is deeded to the state but such cases are infrequent. THIRD TROUT SHIPMENT RECEIVED BL INDIANA INDIANAPOLIS Ind.—A third shipment of trout from the federal hatchery at Northville, Mich., has been received by the Indiana Department of Conservation and used for stocking streams in the Fawn and Pigeon River Valleys in the northeastern part of the state These streams have been found suitable tor trout and will increase the trout fishing for Hoosier anglers during coming years. In addition to the trout, several thousand smallmouth bass were rei ceived from the federal hatchery and were used by the Department of Conservation in ' stocking northeastern Indiana streams. More than trout fry have been secured in recent months for stocking Indiana streams. . j 0 MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED Announcement is being made of the marriage of Miss Helen Jacobson s and Paul R.
