Rabbit Season Wrong".
A big mistake was made b\
the legislature in opening the
rabbit season November Ist
and the quail season a month
later. Professor Page Williams,
professor at State College, tells
the Raleigh News and Observ
er. The Raleigh man avers
many will be in the fields in
November for the purpose of
hunting rabbits and many a
quail will die by reason of that.
Rabbits will be only an excuse
with some, while the tempta
tion will prove too great for
many a good sportsman, thinks
this Raleigh citizen. According
tii the critic of the law, the
will be shot to pieces
fci-n the first of December
comes and permits shooting of
birds.—The Salisbury Post.

BEAUTIFY ROADS
NEW NATIONAL JOB
Stales Meeting Problem of
Darren Roadsides By Plant
ing Trees and Shrubs.
(By E. E. DI'FKY.)
Open road travelers of today
are frequently forced to pass
through kaleidoscopic country
sides dotted with brilliant bill
boards, blackened stumps am!
garbage piles blooming with
various species of "tincannia."
"The pavements rob th .•
country of its freshness," i>
the plaint ot the motorist win
has traveled past certain for
lorn roadsides. Still, no i". •;
son is readily available as t >
just how the pavemeii'> ill'•
responsible for any ti>-ft!
appearance of the eountrvsid.-.
True enough, when |..ivenienis
are constructed it is frequent!-
necessary to remove trees, em
through ileitis and destroy na
ture's handwork in order { i
shorti'H the roadway, so th.it j
considerable sums will be sav*j
eti the tax-payer by lessening
his traveling distance.
The contmnnity must ivadj
just its viewpoint on the road
which in days gone by wis
natural rather than man-made.
The early roadway came about
through constant travel ov -r
the same route. Later
when population increased and
vehicles were motorized, th.»
natural beauty of the road di
minished. Timber was c:i•_ for
fence rails and firewood.
Most all heavily travel? 1
thorough fares of the present
have lost much of their pris
tine glory. The up-to-the-j
minute farmer, unless worrying!
about farm relief, is tilling j
every bit of fertile land. Ho j
has extended the activities of |
the axe up to the very edge of |
the highway righ-of-way. The j
blame cannot be placed cut irel.v :
on the shoulders of the road
builders.
Communities are recognizing
that road building is one prob
lem and roadside beaut ideation
is another problem that must
be given attention. Illustrative
of the action now being take i
by a good many enterprising
states is the activity of Wis
consin, Illinois, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Minnesota, Con
necticut, California and Michi
gan. For some years these
states have been devoting
spare funds to the removal of
roadside blemishes. Trees are
I being planted not helter skel
ter but systematically under
| the direction of landscape gard
ners who give complete consid
eration to the motorists. \ iews
of curves are left unobstructed
iby trees. Trees are also wide
widening. The art of laying
.out the roadside has in trut'i
I reached a point where, through
1 proper placing of trees, th •
jira\el'--i' can drink his till ■i
j uisiant fields through a fraui"
jof oak or popular.
! One county in Michigan has
planted 25,0011 trees along its
roadsides to slate. Michigan
i.- spending i.«•m* yearly lor
the purchase of strips of forest
growth from 100 to 200 teet
in width bordering the state
highways. Minnesota in one
year planted 30,000 trees.
Modern road building is such
an art that the smooth high
way often mocks the barreness
of the roadside. In certain
states one may travel for miles
with scarcely a glimpse of a
tree on the entire horizon—not
because trees will not grow
but because no trees have been
planted. Where conditions
warrant, it is the job of the
community, to make modern
pavements beautiful highways
by the comparatively inexpen
sive work of bordering them
with trees and shrubs.
The Bible is the only book
which is never off the press.

Wagon Lights.
The last Legislature "passed
a law" to which was given
title I "An Act to Protect Hu
man Life by Rcquirini'. Ail Ve
hicles Operated or Driven Up
on the Public lligimays of this
State to Carry Lights." The
previous Legislature hid got
so far in passing a law in the
houses, but it was kille;l ! v
political font of o'Vi .l : i: # : the
farmer—the very rna;i in
whose interest t'v law was ex
pect 'I to opeiV • i .'i.,' whole
somely I!tit If." .i.v v. i- l« it
where it stood. Mani'i ly, it
was expected to be ent'oieed,
and ci rtainly small respect i*
being paid it. Nor i.j it go ; :
to be en i"; i'l'i d until 'A e iia'. 
a State ('oi'stabi-iar!; . an or
gaui 'on whii h eolii ' b • d.
peiide.l upon to ei Kiii' all pro
visions of the state law. with
out fear of hurling somebody'. 1
feelings, lint Paul Leonard,
who i editor of The ("afolina-
Yirginia Retailer, has eoia-e'v'
ed a plan by which respect fo.
the wagon lights law might he
j encouraged. He wants the mer
chants to put on a special sale
jof particular kind. He would
| have them put on a sale of
lanterns. Mr. Leonard argu
that failure to obey the law is
due in many instances, to ig
norance of its provisions, and
requirements, and in other in
stances to the general tendency
of so many human beings to
disregard the rights of others
regardless of the chances the
offender may be willing to take
himself. He believes that much
of this can be overcome by the
merchants through special I
sales of lanterns, in connection
with which advertising and
publicity is used to arouse gen
eral interest and public senti
ment. Because of its humani
tarian aspect, and the oppor
tunity it offers to be of serv
ice, he feels that the merchants
—good public servants as they
are—may well afford to forget
profit, and sell the lanterns
just as cheaply as possible, in
order to stimulate sales an.t j
encourage their general use.
Lantern-lighting, it appears I
from an experiment made by j
Leonard, would not he much of i
an expense to the farmer. Ilj|
had thought that perhaps it |
was the matter of cost that j
was the trouble, so he went to j
a local hardware store ami |
found plenty of lanterns rang- j
ing in price from .$1 to $2, the;
higher priced type being a reg- ;
ular wagon lantern with a
j special arrangement for at
taching to left side of the
! wagon, making a glow toward
I the front, with a red signal
! showing at the rear. "We
! bought one of the dollar lan
terns." says Leonard, "and
! tilled it wit!) a half-pint of ke>
! osene oil by actual measure
, nient. Based on the retail
price, l!>e oil was worth just
; one and a quarter cent. Wo
] lighted the lantern and let ii
i burn, and by ritual timing, i'
: Inn ned exactly 11 hours and
minutes on the one-half pint
of oil. We were convinced tha 4
lantern light is not expensive.
We ! sow that virtually every
body who owns a vehicle can
own a lantern and keep ii light
ed when on the highway when
the fuel cost is so sma "
Leonard advises the merchants
to "point out all these things
in your advertising f-»-• your
special lantern sale which we
are counting on you to arrange
without delay in the interest
of the protection of life and
law observance."
The suggestion for a "spe
cial lantern sale" is a practical
one. The merchants are some
times at their wits-end to find
some article to specialize, and
Leonard has advanced a
good idea for them. The lan
tern sales might prove a good
go—at least nothing would be
lost by it.—Charlotte Observer.
