!JU STING LICENSE LAW
NOT WORK HARDSHIP
! Not Probable Anyone Will Want
Lirenae To Hunt in All 100 Coun
ties of State.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, April 12.—-While it in a
fai-t that the provision for a state-j
.wide hunting license, to cost $.*.25,
and good in any county in the state,
was omitted from the state-wide game
bill ns finally passed'—it was in the
original bill—this omission will prob
ably work no hardship, on anyone,
since there is probably no one in the
stale who would either desire or be
able to hunt in more than five coun
ties in oiie season, according to Wade
H. Phillips, director of the Depart
ment of Conservation and Develop
ment, when asked about the omission
of the statewide license clause.
“Just how this particular section
of the law got lost, no one seems to
know, nnd the surmise is that.it was
(limited in 'beinx copied, since/there
were a number of amendments to the
law. However, the fact is now that
the section is not in the law, nnd there
is nothing can be.done about it until
the next session of the general as
sembly,’' Phillips said.
•“However, 1 do not think that its
ommisaion will work a hardship on
anyone, since it would be physically
impossible for anyone to hunt in ull
of the 100 counties in the state in
one hunting season, and for the most
part no one will, want to hunt in
more than tiwo or three counties in
a single season. Consequently, it will
really be cheaper for those who wish
to hunt in more than one county to
pay the $1.25 for the license in each
county, than it would to have ob
tained a state-wide license for $5.25,"
Phillips declared.
Under the present law, residents
of the state cannot be charged more
than the SI.OO for a hunting license,
and the 25 cents fee for issuing it,
jin any of the counties. But the eoun
!ty commissioners are empowered to
j levy a fee of more than $15.00 upon
I non-resident hunters, if they so de
sire although the sls non-resident li
cense fee must go to the state in
either case.
I FARMERS UNCERTAIN AS
TO MORE ACREAGE NOW
Unsatisfactory Prices Last Year
Make Farmers Uncertain About
Crops This Year.
Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, April 12. —While conditions
during the past winter were more
favorable to crop growth than other
wise, it is the general opinion that
farmers did not avail themselves of
this opportunity to the extent they
should have done, according to the
cooperative Crop Reporting Service,
of the Slate Department of Agricul
ture.
However, due to the .unsatisfactory
prices received for most crops last
year the fanners iu the cotton, tobacco
and trucking areas are decidedly un
certain yet as to just what their
acreages will be. The price of fertili
zers is lower than it has ‘been for
many years, but as the dealers arc
not selling on credit and as farmers
do not have the cash nor can they
get it from banks, there is every
likelihood of a decided decrease in the
use of fertilizers this year. This will
affect the yield and condition of most
important crops.
The 104,000 acres of rye iu culti
vation this year is the same as last
year. The condition on April 1, was
80 per cent of normal as compared
with 88 per' cent on April 1 last year,
02 iu 1025, and a ten year average
condition of 00 per cent.
The states oat crop will probably
be better than last year, as conditions
thus far have been more fnvorable.
The prospects at present are for one
of the l best oat crops the state has
made in several years. The condi
tion of this crop averages 80 per cent
of normal aud compares well with
previous years at thia season.

THE COTTON MARKET
Opened Steady at Advance of 3 to 5
Points. With July Selling at 14.38.
New York, April 12.— UP) —The cot
ton market opened steady at an ad
vance of 3 to 5 points on covering
combined with scattered commission
house and trade buying promoted by
reports of unsettled weather in the
south and n private report-pointing
to a reduction of 13.2 per cent, in j
the prospective acreage. The rattier
steadier late ruling of Liverpool also j
was a factor, but the advance to 14.38 1
for July and 14.70 for December met
a little southern selling or realizing,
and the market was comparatively
quiet at the end of the first hour.
The private acreage figures pub
lished this morning placed the probable
decrease in the Texas acreage at 12
per cent, and in Oklahoma at 16 per
cent. •

Raleigh, April 12. — UP) —Josephus
Danie’s, editor* of the News and Ob
server, left today for to
address the Tennessee legislature af
ter being excused of Superior Court
jury duty and relieved of paying a S2O
fine for failing to appear in court
as a juror.
While in Atlantic City on March
25th, Mr. Daniels was sought here ]
by a local deputy sheriff who had a |
jury duty summons for the editor. The ,
officer left the legal paper with Mr. l
Darnel's stenographer, who put it 'on 1
the editorial desk. She later forgot
to' call Mr. Daniel's attention to it. !
Upon Mr. Daniel's failure to answer
when called out in the court yester
day. Judge IV. A. Devin ordered the
clerk to enter a S2O fine on the record
for the former secretary of the navy
under President Wilson. Not until
after court -had adjourned did Mr.
Daniels know'of the fine, when in
formed by a reporter last night.
The matter was straightened out
later when the editor explained mat
ters to the jurist.

MANY CHANGES
DURING WINTER
Old Stars in New Uniforms
While Many Old-Timers
Have Been Dropped
Since 1926 Season Closed
(By Associated Press)
America's premier outdoor festival,
the baseball pennant races in the Am
erican and Xationnl leagues opened
today with more changes in the line
up of the 16 clubs than the hardy
perennials of the bleachers had seen
in many years.
More, new managers, more old idols |
in new* uniforms and more accumulat
ed winter debris to 'be carted away
than ever before were offered to the
nation’s fans as the nftermnth of a
season of unprecedented trading, and
scandal-monging.
A new leader, some smart veterans
or enthusiastic youngsters, faced an
introduction to fans in each of the
eight major league oiiening cities and
in the words of K. M. Landis, boss
of ‘baseball, the outlook was good.
The weather man generally over the
big time baseball belt said so too.
Fate, and perhaps some shrewd
management spiced the annual sum
mer dish this year with more interest
ing problems than the -box score fol
lowers had tasted for a long time.
Babe Ruth’s new contract, Rogers
Hornsby’s transfer, Ty Cobb's final
year, Connie Mack's heavy purchases
of seasoned material, and nine new
bnll club pilots were among the row
of question marks for fandom as the
soot of winter' scandal was blown
awu.v by the crisp winds of spring.

they are patients, contemplate their
recovery, unless some unforeseen
complication develops.
The accident was described as un
avoidable. and police indicate no in
tention of preferring charges against
either Mr. Kester or Ben Bulla, 10-
year-old orphanage boy who was
driving the car in which the boys
were riding. Homer Finch, age 12,
died as a result of the accident.
The two boys left in the hospital
are resting very well, and hope is
held out for their early recovery.
Sam Coble suffers with a leg broken
in two places, while Paul Guice is
the victim of an injured back. It
was thought at first that his buck
was broken, but later the wound
was found to be of a less serious
nature.

When Fido Feeds.
New York. April 12.—A great deal
of discussion has been going on
among restaurant arid lunch-room
proprietors and their customers as
to whether pet dogs shaM be allowed
in their establishments. So many
complaints have been made by those
who object to Fido’s presence that
many managers have banished dogs
altogether from their places.
In France it has long been the
custom for restaurants to be closed
against dogs, but now many of these
places are calling themselves “Dog
Restaurants.” In these a place is
laid at the table for the dog and a
special dogs’ menu is provided. For
this meal for Fido the master or
mistress pays a good prise, so that
the restaurant has found the idea a
very profitable one.
