HUNTERS Are WARNED
Relative to Licenses and Fines for
Not Securing Them.

Commissioner J. W. Titcomb Of the
| Vermont department of fisheries and
game gives the following statement
regarding the hunting season in Yer
mont, and it is we'll worth reading :
Now that the hunting season has
opened, it is a good time to consider
the laws governing the sport. Game
and fish laws are designed primarily
to prevent the the extinction of game
and fish, and with such an object in
view, under existing circumstances
and conditions, these laws Of neces.
sity must contain prohibitive features.
A resilient citizen Of the state who
desires to, hunt must, if he keeps
within the scope of the law, first
procure hunters license; this he may
obtain from the town clerk of the
town in which he resides, and the
cost of iC will be fifty cents. Of this
fifty cents the town clerk receives
ten cents for his work the remaining
forty cents is remitted to the state
treasurer and placed to the credit
Of the fish and game commission. If he
is an alien or nonresident, he may
prOcurr4 what is known as a non resi-
dent or alien kunter's license; the
! cost Of this is $3.50; of this amount
the town clerk retains fifty cents for
! his trouble and the remainder is finally
placed to the credit Of the commits
sion. Other sources of support are

There is new fever in this sec

got it? Better look out 1t lasts from
two to eight weeks, and some cases
have been reported that have only
lasted four weeks. but the patients
have it very hard and usually come
out feeling much better than when
they contracted the ailment.
The symptoms are the same in all
cases so far reported and the treat
ment accorded each one seems to cor
rect the fever, as in no instance has
the remedy applied to the suffering
one failed. It is not the least bit
hard to take. You will be taken sud-
denly with desire to do things and
nothing that any one can do or say
will prevent you from getting busy at
once, and your friends who are not
the least alarmed at the symptoms
urge people to favor you, not to cause
you to get excited, and give you your
own way in all instances. If any of
these persons accOst you, treat them
kindly as they may be the direct cause
Of your contracting the disease.
It is the Contest Fever. Many
persons have been affected in this
section, and while some have been
able to shake it, others are still in the
throes of it, and their friends who
have their cases under advisement say
. they will come out all right.
The physicians who have all the
cases SO far reported in charge, advise
the Indulgence of every person in this
county, and urge the afflicted to work
night and day. After the excitement
is over and all resume the regular
routine Of life. all those who have
followed minutely the prescribed

rejoicing as the finale is both pleasing
and satisfactory. If you want the

our local horses. 1t seems strange to
local horse men that Of sudden their
horses have dropped from the winning

first and two second prizes, and Morse
got third with his Morgan stallion
