The applicant for a liquor license wili be required to pay the full amount of the fe6, which is.$750, in addition to the charges for advertising and re- cording and that money must be paid as soon as the license is issued and not later than the following Dec. 10. At that time, gecording to law, the county commissioners must submit report of the licenses granted and the money received to ~the state and county. In the event of the passage of the federal prohibition amendment to the agricultural bill now pending in con- gress, which would close all.saloons on the last day of June, 1919, the M- quor dealer may apply for a revate on his license fee, and, in the opinion of the county commissioners, forNew London county, the dealer will be granted a rebaté. That part will re- auire some time to straighten out and the county commissieners say, it may be several months before the liquor dealer will Teceiye a return.of the ex- tra. meney he has invested in his li- cense.

A ‘Mr. Smith says the county commis- sloners have - the applications now ready for the liquor dealers in New London, , Normich and the county towns and the board will be in ses- sion the day after the coming town elections on the first Monday in Octo- ber. The first three days of the week after election day thg board will be in session at Norwich and then will fol- low ~three days in session at New London. During that time applica- tions for liquor Ticenses wiil be re- ceived and the advertising contracts signed. Dealers not applying for re- newals at that time, must, according to law, have their applications on file not later than Oet, 25, In foymer years, Mr. Smith says, the county commissioners have been lenient in the collegtion of lJicense fees and in many cases, it is stated, the money received for |liquor dealers habe been allowed sev- eral months to gather in the amount of the fee. This year they will all be obliged to pay in advance and the system of credit will not be extended. As a result of ‘the decision of the commissioners many liquor dealers in New London are in a guandary ag to what action to take. e have al- ready decided to retire from the busi- ness when their present license ex- pires on the first Monday in Novem- ber and others sav they will pay at the ‘usual time and trust to the com- ;nis.hnefl to return a part of the fees ater. GAME BOARD PRESIDENT EXPLAINS HUNTING LAWS W. K. Mollan, president of the state toard of fisheries and game, has is- sued the following notice to Connec- ticut sportsmen relative to apparent discrepencies between - federal and state laws regulating the killing of migratory birds: "“To the Sportsmen of Connecticut: “There seems to be a misunder- standing on the part of many of oug sportsmen in regard to apparent con- flict between the regulations of the Migratory Bird Treaty act and the Connecticut state laws. There should be none, because the conflict is_only apparent to the casual reader of the laws; there is no disagreement in fact. “Section 7 of the Migratory Bird Treaty act, approved July 3, 1918, “That nothing in thiy aet shal] be con: strued .to prevent the several states and territories- from maxing or ens forcing laws or regulations not in- consistent with the provisions of said convention or of this att or from mak- ing or enfercing laws or regulations which shall give further protection to migratory birds, their nests and eges, if such Jaws and regulations do not cxtent the open seagon for such birds beyond the dates approved by the president in accordance with Section 3 of this act’ “As to waterfowl—ducks, geese, etc. —the state law and the federal law coincide, the open season being from Cetober' to January 15 and the bag limit under both laws being 25 a day in the aggregate of all kinds. “On rail birds there is a difference the seasonal limits, the open sea- son under the federal regulation be- ginning - September 1, while by tne Connecticut law it begins twelve days later. The state law, because it does not conflict with the federal treaty law but oniy still further restricts the killing of the birds, becomes auto- matically the effective law for gun- ners in this state. “Tt same condition _exists with relation to woodcock the state law shortening_the federal law by two weeks. The former provides for an open season from October b to Nov- ember 23, “In the case of plover, vellow legs and snipe our season opens two weeks later than the season prescribed by the federal regulation; ccnsequently the Connecticut iaw is the one which must be observed. $ “On’ the other hand, the Connectleut limit for a bag of rail birds is 35; hut the federal law sets the limit of Hefe, of course, the federal lim- itation supersedes the state limjt and a_gunner must not exceed thé limit of 25 because the letter of the state law would give him no proteetion in just the other way in the case of the woodeock bag limits. The federal law allows six woodcock to a day’s bag. But the Connecticut law reduces this limit to five, ard is valid and enforcible under the treaty act because it gives added protection to the birds, a thing that the federal law specifically empowers the -state to do. ‘An excellent thing for sportsmen to bear in mind is this simple rule: That where there a difference in seasons or bags as indicated by the state and federal laws it is always the provision for the' shérter season or the smaller baz that the Conmnecticut gunner must abide by. “The migratory bird law has al- ready proven its value, as shewn by the inereasing number of all kinds of birds of passage: we should do all in our power to heip in its enforcement, not only for the benefit of sportsmen but of the public at large, whose economic interest in the protection of bird life is only just beginning to be understood.’ e MERCHANTS' BUREAU TO DISCUSS CHRISTMAS BUYING The decision of the Council of Na. tional Defense regarding Christmas buying is to be one topic for consid- eration by the Retail Merchants' Bu- reau at a meeting which has been called for 10 o'clock this _(Friday) morning at the Chamber of Commerco room by Chairman Will L. Stearns, Other important topics for discus- sion will be tho joint fall opening for next week, and the final report of the Dollar Day committees.

HUTS PLANNED FOR CAMPS IN ENGLAND A Paris letter reads: Only about five months have passed since the van- guard of the - Knights of Columbus workers arrived from America, buf in that period clubs have been estab- lished at all the- important camps, and _there are now secretaries and Thaplains at the direct front in all the fighting sectors. The headquarters of the Knights at No. 16 Place de la Madaleaine. is the center and life of &1 the activities of the organization overseas. So rapid has the growth of the field work been that now the headquarters are too cramped for anything but executive work, and a building is being leased nearby as a reeeption place for sol- diers and sailors on leave or stationed here. Although elerks have -been forced to work in the halls and in ‘aimost every nook and corper, it isa smoothly running machines. If a_man comes in with something to sell he isn't kept waiting in_a lobby but is premptly’ ushered in to.the official in charge, and the matter is decided then and there. A purchasing seven nasses on every spent. The watchward is, “No ill-advised purchases, no waste, no extravagance; this js a trust fund.” The whole' method of procedure is summed up in a paragraph of a letter written by the commissioner to the man he appointed to supervise that branch: “I shall expeet you to handle . this work in a practical and efficient menner, always obtaiming the best prices pbtainable, and above all, T wish you to bear in mind that the fund which we are spending here is a_trust fund which has been raised in the United States from people who expect every dollar of it to be wisely spent and waste and extravagance eliminated.” . The officers of the United States army bave in every case co-operated ith the Knights in every way pos- sible. and the Regular Army chap- lains have beeri among the most zeal- ous workers for the order. Dr. Edward Buckley, supreme phy- sician and James -J. McGraw, a su- Preme dirfttor, have returned to the United States from England, where they have completed arrangements for tho establishment of Knighfs of Columbus huts at all the important camps in England where American troops are located. 1f large numbers of our soldiers go to Italy secretaries and chaplains will be sent to that country also. The scope of the Knights will be enlarged to meet any demand. KENDALL WOUNDED BUT KEPT AUTOMATIC GOING Mrs. John Kendall of “Hartford, for- merly of Versailles, has received the committee . of dollar following letter from her husband’s cempany commander, Samuel C, Pickett: Aug. 10, 1918. Dear Madame: I have just received a letter from Mr. Edward Pield, stat- ing that yeu had received word from the adjutant general’s office that your liusband, John F. KenQall, of this company, was waunded on June 19, 1918. T am sorry to say that such is the case, but also happy to say that it was not serioys.at all. It was but 4 slight wound in the calf of the leg and a bruise op the knee, I believe. I have received no word frem him direct, but have heard from a man who saw him that he is getting along nicely and that he is welking around, but is still under observance on ac- gount of the knmee. The doetors ywant to make syre that water on: the knee will not develop. From all reports there js no need for yeu to worry at all as it was net at all serious. His platoon eommander, and I was his company commander at the time, have nothing but praise for the way Jokn condueted himself on that morn- Ing. He showed the spirit that has made the record of the American forees what it is today. Although wounded in the early part of the bat- tle “party” (It wasn't a big affair, ex- cept for about a dozen of our men) he would not stop long encugh for the first aid man te dress ii, but kept. at his automatic rifle until the boche had gotten mere than engugh. T wish we had more such men with this com- peny. Hoping he will soon be back with us, I am, Yours very trulv, SAMUEL C, PICKETT, First. Lieutenant 102nd Inf, A, B, F. Rural Carrier Examination.
