BOY HAS PIG EYE Paterson, N. J., Jan. 24.—Parts of the eyeball of a six months’ old pig today were grafted on a human eye by Dr. Edward B. Morgan of this city and three assistants in an effort to restore sight to Albert Lemanowicz, 18. of Lyndhurst, blinded in a Fourth of July fireworks explosion. During the operation, which lasted forty minutes and which was performed with the use of only a local anesthetic, four stitches were made in the human eve. Using a cataract knife. Dr. Morgan removed the cornea, sclerotic or /white coat, crystaline lens, and iris from the youth’s eve and supplanted them with similar tissue from the Animal’S optic. The pig’s crystaline lens was not transferred, the doctors said, explaining that the defect would be made up by the use of eyeglasses. The result of the operation, it was stated, would be known in tea days.

TO PROTECT WILD AND AQUATIC LIFE • I Geo. N. Man u feld Suggests Some Changes in Indiana Fish Anil Game Laws. Only one bill will be introduced before the legislature by the state conservation commission, backed by organized sportsmen of the state, it become known Monday. This measure, George N. Mannfeld, chief of the fish and game division says, is designed solely to protect wild and aquatic life and to equalize for the interest of all the taking of wild and aquatic life; also to perpetuate and increase fish and .game in public waters and fields and woods. High lights of the bill are described by Mr. Mannfeld as follows: Terminating all licenses to hunt and fish on December 31 of each year. Outstanding licenses tobe good for the term for which they were issued. Raising the price of non-resi-dent fishing licenses to $2.25; reducing non-resident hunting Jicenses to $10.50. (Present prices are: Non-resident fishing license $1.00; non-resident hunting license, $15.50. Establishing a license to take mussels from navigable waters for commercial purposes, both resident and non-rqsident; resident license, $5.00; non-resident, $15.00; taking of njussels from such waters restricted to period from July 1 to Jan. 1; written permission from landowner necessary to take mussels from nonnavigable waters. Establishing a license, both resident and non-resident, to trap; resident license, $2.25; nonresident, $15.50; resident trapping license to carry also the privilege to hunt and fish. Placing a length limit of 5inches on blue gills and rock bass (goggle-eye), and reducing the daily catch on black bass to 10 per day; blue gills, crappie and rock bass each to 25 a day. No more than 50 fish of the above species to be held in possession by anyone after fishing two days or more. Fishing without license limited to one’s own county. No license needed by persons under 16 years of age, resident owners of lands and their tenants, honorably discharged solidiers, sailors and marines of the civil war, and the wife of a man who has a license to fish. Making Indiana laws relating to shooting of ducks and other migratory birds conform- to the regulations of the federal government. Establishing a closed season on rabbits from January 15 to October 1, with a provision that bona fide owners of lands or their tenants may kill them at any time when found doing damage to their property. The fish and game division and organized sportsmen are opposed, Mr. Mannfeld says, to two bills pending, namely H. B. No. 51, calling for a 5-year closed on quail, and H. B. No. 92, asking for the repeal of all laws restricting the use of ferrets. These measures, he says, are in direct conflict with the best thought on game conservation. Quail need no protection of this kind. They need food and proper cover in

winter. Cold weather, snow and ice, with vermin kill more quail than hunters. Laws based on sentiment and not on good judgment usually fail of their purpose. The ferret method of hunting rabbits is unsportsmanlike and a vicious practice, Mannfeld declares. o AN ESTIMATE OF MY NATIVE STATE Some folks rave o’er the tropics an’ some Os lands that lie over the sea. But this dear old Hoosier State, by gum. Is good enough for me. It’s full of purty scenery. Its lakes an' streams are grand; Its cities teem with industry. Beat any in the land. And farms I’ve seen when travelin’ round. But this of mine I swear Is Jest as fertile a piece o’ ground As any anywhare. We Hoosier-folks'are simple folks. We hainl a warrin’ clan; We’re fond of peace and little good Jokes, An’ man treats man as man. Our State has had its great ones too. One President an’ that bard Jim Riley, he’s human through an’ through; Never was a poet like him. I don’t as a rule philosofiz. But Indiana seems to me As near like the realm of Paradise As any place kin be. Its tradishuns and history I hold dear, I’m proud in its life to share; I’d ruther be the poorest farmer here Than a millyunar elsewhare. The above poem was written for the Journal by Ralph Scoles Thomas, 302 Jackson Boulevard, Elkhart, Ind. o STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA Washington, Jan. 31.—Statehood for that part of Alaska lying south of the Arctic circle and east of the 152nd meridian of longitude is advocated by Col. William B. Greeley, chief forester of the United States, in a report to the secretary of agriculture in which he says that from the standpoint of the national forest administration and development, on happier step could be taken than admittance of that part of the territory to the full rights of an American commonwealth. "It seems to be generally accepted that the territory as a whole- is not ready for state hood,” says Col'. Greeley, “but unquestionably .that part lying east of the 152nd meridian and south of the Arctic Circle has the ecopomic wealth and the stable, law-abiding population which according to our historic policies and precedents have always been recognized by congress as entitling contintal territory and people to self-govern-ment in the union. It is becom’g evident that the solution of the Alaska problem is local selfgovernment. Apparently what e people want is not the power to run the government’s business or property in Alaska but power to run their own business. They want to make their own public money just as do the people in the states. In short, what Alaska wants is not that the Union should be ousted from the territory, but that Alaska should be admitted to the union.” o NOTICE Our incubators will be thrown open for custom hatching on February 3, 10 and 17.

HAS FINE LEMON TREE The following is taken from the Pierceton Record: Dr. A. Johnson, of Pierceton, besides being a very efficient veterinarian, is also an horticulturist of note, being an expert on growing lemons. He has a lemon tree that has several lemons whiclf are ripe and they average about ten inches in circumference. The trees are loaded this year with this rare fruit and “®oc” doesn’t need to worry about the lemonade problem for quite a spell, if the trees keep on blooming and bearing. It doesn’t seem possible that lemon trees can be made to bear in Northern Indiana and we wouldn’t believe it, either, if we hadn’t been shown, both the tree ?nd the lemons. But' seeing is believing and it may be some of these fine days the doctor will find lemon growing more profitable than the art of doctoring our livestock —who can tell? o MAPLE SUGAR TIME NEAR The mild weather of the last few days has started many of the -owners of maple sugar groves to thinking about opening their “camps.” They say that if the present kind of weather continues, the maple syrup season ought to get under way at least by the middle of February. The indications are that about all the farmers who have sugar groves and sugar making equipment will make syrup this year. They say the winter has been such as would bring good flows of sap when the time comes though it is impossible to tel) whether a season is going to be a good one until the time for sugar making actually arrives. The price of maple syrup is good —sufficient to yield the producers a nice profit. The money comes in too at a time when there are not many other farm products ready for market. The making of maple sugar is a department of farm work that nearly all farm folk enjoy, there being something about it that makes the process more like play than work. There is no more interesting and enjoyable period in the farm year than the maple sugar season. O T Subscribe for the Journal,

We think of the multitude of stars and would in all probability say that on a clear, ’frosty, moonless night we see millions of them. In reality, on such a night, if we leave out the faintly luminous milky way, we see fewer than 3,000 distinct stars. In the whole starry sphere, of which we see only half of any given time, there are only a score of firstmagnitude stars, beginning with Sirius, the brightest of them, and including stars like Orion’s right shoulder and left knee, Betelgeax and Rigel, Vega and Arcturus.
