IT'S now proposed to increase the

der that that commission may attempt
to prevent the killing OF birds. There
are three costly commissions that
do no conceivable good, and
from which nobody except those
who are employelby them derives any
benefit, that should be done away

vice and the civil service. If g little OF
the money thrown away on the former
were expended in removing the wire
nets that obstruct tie passage OF fish
through Chesapeake Bay TO the rivers
emptyipg into il, those rivers would
be as well stocked with food fish now as
thew used to be. Few people now pay
any attention to the weather reports,

is acknowledged, even by those who
vote the money By which it is support.
