Miss Grace Tyler and Master Harry !. Tyler went to Boston last Friday. returning the first of the week The first fire of the season was dis. covered on the old Southbridge road Saturday, just at sunset, near the Breakneck road. Ample help was al hand. and the fire under control before nine o'clock. after burning over about fifteen acres of white oak sprout land and an old pasture. The origin of the fire is being investigated, as parties are known to have been near the scene of the fire a short time be. fore it was discovered, and while 1t is not thought the fire was started pur- posely, caIelessness in the use of matches in lightning pipes or cigars is thought to have been the Cause. H. R. Howard reports that plans are to be materiaHzed this week to establish a fire patrol, embracing the Wells lands and the Myers property owned in and about this section, and to especially locate and identify all fishermen who pass into the woods. that special watch may be made of localities thus visited, and considered hazardous thereby. Our fires are found to be caused by oarelessness, in throwing of matches, from lighting pipes or cigars. and cigarette smoker in the woods at this time of the year Is like 8 torch in a powder mill. Permits for the starting of fires in burning brush or weeds, under reason able and lawful conditions, can be secured of the district deputy, H. R. Howard The period under which the law directs this vigilance is from March 18th to June 1st, and again in the fall, from Sept. 18th to Nov. 18th. To Ehe man who lives in a brick building in a big town these dates might help him to consider danger, but to each and every one in the country a certain instinct fore- stalls the law of the state, and self. preservation prevails.

rounding country.
Mr.. Finley has just returned from
California, where he visited the state
game farm at Haywards. There he
found the state has gone into the bus

furnished to farmers and others for
propagation. the young being liber-

pheasant farming offers splendid
profit paying opportunities right here

the climate is well adapted for this
business. Pheasants are hardy birds
and can be raised about as easily as
chickens, while there is much profit
in them. Since the numbers of our
wild pheasants are being depleted, the
state will eventually have to close the
season on these birds entirely or else
secure new birds for restocking the
fields and woods. If farmers in diff
ferent parts of the state would raise
pheasants. a part of the game fund
could we'll be spent in buying and re-
leasing these birds"
