ty." he said, "are in very good con-
dluon mid it appears that the citi-
zens are giving thetr support and co-
operation to the department. It
really pays the hunters and fishers
to support the warden, as in the
long run it will afford more and bet-
ter sport in both hunting and fish-
ing. This fact is clearly sfiown tn
Penneyivania where there are now
estimated to be nearly a million
deer, and about 22 years ago when
there waa no government regulation
that state practically had no deer
Texas, too. is showing an increased
number of deer and turkey since
state regulation was put In force
and it is believed now that there
are near 300,000 deer in the State.
I look for the legislature to change
some of the game lews within the
next two or three years, but I cant
say as to what changes will be
brought about, yet I feel sure any
changes will be for the protection
of game and to assure sportsmen of
better game in the future

, LONDON, Feb. 21.—Un-
dercurrents pf apprehension
with regard to consequences
of the French political situ-
ation were discernible today
among delegates to the five-
power naval conference who
remained in Ixmdon over the
week-end.
The question uppermost in most
minds was What would happen to
the conference ,f the government
crisis was not settled by next Wed-
nesday. the conclusion of the pres-
ent week's recess
London hoped Camille Chautemps
would be able to secure a majority
in the French chamber for his cab-
inet. However, as one French observ-
er put it. “nothing at all is certain
about what is going to happen tn t
Paris." . ;r.
Although the chiefs of toe tielega-
tions at least publicly showed no
disposition to view the future with
any great gloom. It was said Sec-
retary Stimson and Prime Minister
MacDonald, tn a conversation yes-
terday discussed toeir fears of fur-
ther prolongation of the conference
and probable effect upon world opin-
•lon.
Secretary Stimson -today planned

increased net profit comes thru our

The production was a success,
both from a production standpoint
and profits, which will be used for
the benefit of the under-privileged
children of Denton. Many were
heard to express their opinion that
the show was better this year than
heretofore under professional direc-
