JOHNNY GET YOUR SHOT GUN And Buy a Hound Dog. The Rab- bits arc Coining From the plains of Missouri and the highlands oC Maine, New York state plans lo import 28,000 rab- bits and varying hares this year as "seed" for its $50,000,000 game crop. To provide Empire Staters with the making of potpie, hossenpfeffer and other dishes, the state will liberate 15,500 Missouri cotton- tails and 12,500 varying hares or "snowshoe rabbits" shipped here from Maine. It is part of the State Con- servation Department's restocking program to help nature compen- sate for the 1,500,000 rabbits taken by hunters during the last year. Gardiner Bump, superintendent of the state's bureau of game, regards the rabbit as a "crop of the land" and an important ele- ment in the state's $50,000,000 game crop. This estimate he figures, takes in money spent by hunters for guns, ammunition, gasoline and oil used in reaching hunting grounds, hotel bills in their sojourns and other,items. The imported animals will be supplied free to the slate's 500 game clubs who in turn will re- lease them. Including transporta- tion, the state pays 75 cents each for the rabbits and §1.10 apiece for the hares. All are box-trapped in their native haunts. Superin- tendent Bump ventured no predic- tions as to how long the average of the 28,000 newcomers may live or how many will live long enough to reproduce. He did say, however, that "rabbits are more abundant in New York state to- day than they were on the ar- rival of the first white man." Over 1,090 "cottontails" will be received by the clubs in Delaware county this year. Walton Boys Sentenced Arrested in Hancock Friday afternoon by Chief of Police Aus- tin McGranghan, Wililam Grey, Jr., and Percy Woods, Walton youths, both under 15, were sent to In- dustry yesterday by County Judge A. Lindsay O'Connor. Both had been up on juvenile delinquency charges following the theft of furs from a Walton warehouse Janu- ary 5. They received suspended sentences to Industry at the time. The recent theft of a quantity of linen from a residence owned by Mrs. Edwin Jenks, Walton, re- sulted in a police search for the pair who disappeared from Wal- ton soon after the theft was dis- covered. The stolen goods were turned over to the Walton chief of police, Alton Anderson, by Wil- liam Grey, Sr„ father of one of the boys. Buried at New Kingston The body of Mrs. Mary Ellen Thompson of Bible School Park near Binghamton, was brought here for the funeral Thursday at 1 o'clock, and burial in the Valley cemetery beside her late husband Jacob N.

Ski Visitors Gaily Plumed There was a flock of gaily plumed winter visitors at the Shandaken Country Club on Sun- day—no, they weren't grosbeaks, or chickadees or bluejays —they were skiiers—three hundred or more, of them, who came from New York City on the New York Central "snow train." It was a beautiful day for win- ter sports and the club is a fine spot—especially for amateurs. Some of the slopes are less steep than others. When the sun began to go behind the mountain the first whistle of the train which was standing be- fore the club grounds, sounded the signal to call in the skiiers. A few minutes later the train com- posed of ten coaches—two diners —started on the return trip to the city—the crowd tired but happy and hoping for snow next Sun- day.—Shandaken .Cor.
