HUNT DEER NEXT WEEK
Necessary for the Legislature TO
Take Action to Allow Any
Hunting This Season.

By bill rushed though the senate
under suspension of the rules
yesterday it will be lawful to hunt
small game the remainder of this
week and next week the people of
Vermont can hunt deer. 1t is expect
ed the house will pass the measure
at once. This action on the part of
the legislature was necessary owing
to the wording of the proclamation
by Coy. Mead on October 20, when he
closed the open season for all this
week but did not suspend it to any
definite period. He had the power
to suspend the season but his pro-
clamation wiped it out entirely and
he did not have the power to create
season hence the action by the
legislature.
With this action by the legisla-
ture the governor will now issue
another proclamation and it is ex-
pected the deer hunting will be on
next week and nimrod can kill a
skunk most any time.

Fletcher Sounds Warming.

Representative Fletcher of Caven-
dish sounded distinct note of warn
ing in the legislature on Tuesday, in
forming the house that the small sum
of SIG, AL is all that is available for
immediate appropriations. The in
formation was somewhat of sur
prise to the legislators, and will un-
doubtedly serve as check on any
tendency to extravaganza that may,
be threatening.
Gov. Mead expresses himself as in
sympathy with the precautionary at
titude of the gentleman from Caven-
dish and against the development of
any condition that would necessitate
the imposition of state tax.

NEW ENGLAND CORN SHOW.
An Exposition to Help Farmers at
Worcester, Mass, Nov. 7-12.

An Exposition to Help Farmers at
Worcester, Mass, Nov. 7-12.
The addition of 10 bushels of corn per
acre to the annual yield in New England
would mean 81 100000 annually to ag-
riculture in this section of the country,
and would greatly enhance the value of
New England farms. The New England
Corn Exposition to be held at the
Worcester Fair Grounds the week of
Nov. 7-12. will show New England
farmers how that extra 10 bushels of
corn may be secured. Leonard B. CIore
of Franklin, Ind, in the famous Johnson
County corn belt, director of the Ma
tional Corn Association, and known the
world over as "The Corn King" has
come east for the express purpose of di-
recting the coming New England show,
the first event fits kind to be held in
this part of the country. Mr.. Clore
brings with him all the ideas and many
of the features that have made for the
success of the big Western shows in
years past. He makes the assertion that
every New England farmer that will ex-
hibit at the show the 10 best ears of
corn grown by him this year, attend the
show in person, make his owu compari-
sons, and go home resolved to profit by
what he has seen and heard at the show,
can increase his next years corn crop by
10 per cent.
Nearly $1,000 in cash prizes will be
awarded at the show and in addition
there will be a large number of special
prizes in the shape of cups, agricultural
machinery, household goods, etc.

George Has Skipped.

George Somebody Qooks very much
like George the Third has left ST. Johns
bury very suddenly and for an indefinite
time. He was well known to the police
and they had reason to suspect he was
the man reported to be annoying young
girls on the streets at night here. He
called himself this time George Davis but
on other visits here he called himself
George Ellis p and once before he
went to states prison he went under the
name of George Wilson. The police had
reason to believe he was the man they
wanted and called him into the office
last Friday and questioned him closely.
He professed tofbe hungry for his supper
and the chief told he might go and get
it. AS soon as he was out of the office
the wander lust seized him in an acute
form and the last seen of him he was
hiking south bv the fair ground.

INCORRECT SCALES HERE.
H. w. Clement Reports that Only
65 Per Cent Weigh Correctly.

That Vermont's laws relating to
weights and measures are unsatis-
factory and the system provided by
them poor was stated at a
legislative hearing in Montpelier by
H. w. Clement of Rutland, who was
a member of the commission appoint
ed by Governor Prouty to investigate
the subject. He reported that in ST.
Johnsbury SIS per cent. of the scales
tested are listed as correct, while
those scales listed as incorrect in the
percentage columns are all prejudi-
cial to the buyer and deliver less
than the quantity represented. In
addition there are a large number of
scales in use which vary more than
should be allowed, which should be
repaired before the use of the same
should be continued. These scales
usually deliver correct quantities on
a few values although on other val
ues correct weight is not Indicated.
In many cases it is impossible for
the users to discover such errors be-
fore competent test is made and
many such errors are thus creeping
in without the merchants being
aware of their presence.
AS before the method of selling
dry commodities is very faulty. And
all the incorrect methods previously
detailed are found in use here. That
conditions like these should be syste-
matized there is no room for doubt,
and such an endeavOr is a part of the
legitimate functions of the sealer of
weights and measures.
Several brands of print butter sold
here as half pounds average slightly
over weight, while others are very
seriously short. Thus one brand
averages sos ozs. in weight, while
another sold as the same amount
weighed only 7.19 ozs., a difference,
in actual weight of .87 o., or about
II per cent. per average print, of
these two brands. No difference in
price is noted, however, on account
of this decrepancy, and that fair COM
petition in this product is impossible,
there is no room for doubt. The pre-
dominance of short weight brands
and consequent loss to the consumer
is shown by the general average of all
prints which is only 1855 ounces, a
shortage of "A o., or 5.5 per cent.
average print Assuming that only
1-3 of the total consumed here is sold
in print form, statistics prove that
the loss on butter in this form alone
to the people of St. Johnsbury
amounts to about $1,000 a year.
In some stores short weight and
measure is constantly being delivered
as is proven by packages done up
ready for delivery weighed by your
inspector. In one store / / packages
of different commodities and sizes
were weighed and ten of these were
found to be short. The shortages in
many cases were serious ones,
amounting to 5.5 per cent. on one
3.8 per cent. on three pounds, 3.8 per
38 per cent. on two pounds, 3.8 per
cent on three pounds.

Evidence About Murder of

afternoon. The first matter taken up
was the William Heath murder case
There is large number of witnesses to
be examined and the grand jury will
probably not report before the last of

By far the greatest undertaking ever
engaged in by railroad company, in the
nature of constructing station or termi-
nal, is the work now under way at the
Grand Central Station in New York City.
There, on Forty-Second Street and the
region north of it, the changes now being
made and the new buildings and improve
ments planned for the next few years rep
resent an outlay which is estimated at one
hundred and eighty million dollars. The
station building itself will occupy six city
blocks, and the whole terminal plant will
occupy seventeen. This station is the
greatest traffic center in the world, and
on the two levels no fewer than Sixty-two
tracks will enter. In all the changes be-
ing made and all the stupendous struc-
lures projected absolute architectural
harmony will be maintained. While the
work is going on there is no interruption
of traffic, and last year about one hundred
and eighty thousand trains, handling over
twenty million passengers, came and
went at the present station.

The Plight of the Liar.

Isthere any powerin cunning, inshrewd
long-headed deceptive methods that can
for moment compare with the truth,
with absolute integrity? There is no ad-
vertisement in the world, in the long run,
that compares with that which comes from
the reputation of always and everywhere
telling the exact truth, of being absolute
ly reliable. This reputation alone has
made the names of some Of the great bust
ness houses in this country worth million
of dollars.
Every time that a man deceives he
knows that he has to cover his tracks.
He is always on thorns for fear OF dis
covery, for everything in his own nature
is trying to betray him; but when he tells
the truth because he is built on the truth
plan, he has all the universe sustaining,
supporting and backing him.

Training Seals.

The mere spectator usually thinks that
trained seals are the finest product OF the
circus menagerie; but according to an
old trainer, whose words are quoted IN
the New York Evening Post, it is SIM
pie trick to teach them their feafs. The
cardinal principle is, not to attempt to
make an animal do anything contrary to
the nature of its particular species. 10
be successful, then, the trainer must know
about the habits OF the animals
to enable him to fit the tricks to their
needs. He must not try to make an ele-
phant to climb or lion to play the drum.
"You begin with one seal, lot OF little
pieces of fish, and bit OF string. You
let the seal set on his pedestal, which ne
likes to do by nature then you throw
him one of the pieces of fish, and ne nat
urally and easily catches it.
"Next you tie piece of fish on the end
OF your string, and swing it toward the
seal; he catches that, too, and you keep
moving away from him, and swinging the
reward to him from an increasing distance,
Now you are ready to begin with the hat
or cornucopia; placing and tying up bit
of the fish up in the tip of it, you toss 1t
to the seal. He is dexterous by nature,
and his nose, detecting the fish up in the
cone, quickly seeks it. He bites it out
and losses the cone aside. Before long
he comes to associate that cone with his
loved fish, and he will catch any number
of similar ones, and toss them aside when
he fails to find what he wants. That's all
there is to the trick, you see.
Balancing the big rubber ball is based
on the same principle. The ball is soak
ed in fishy brine and thrown to the seal.
He gets the odor, and tries his best to get
into the ball and find what he's after.
This results in his balancing the ball on
his nose, a feat for which his qulcknesS,
his supple, muscular neck and his natural
feeding habits are all adapted, and then
he gets his piece of fish as prize
"The man working with seals thinks to
himself, what else do seals do naturally Z
And the answer comes, They like to
slap and beat round with their front Flip
pers. Here is the basis for good and
effective trick. Down on the side OF the
pedestal on which the seal is placed, an
automobile horn is fastened, or a little
drum, or a tin pan. The seal, in the ex-
eitement of being fed, Slaps with his
flipper for all he's worth, and you can
see that with few simple adaptations,
such as tying c, mbal to the flipper, tor
instance, seal band is assembled and
sets the audience wild by its comic and
clever performance.
OTIS all so simple, you know-when
you are on the inside"

nnctor Made a New Thumb.

DIR. X. KoeSske has described in Ger
man medical publication some remarkable
results in plastic surgery.
"In one of his cases, which, as Tar as
he is aware, is unique in surgical litera-

Surgery, 'he replaced a thumb which
had been entirely lost in an accident, by
a section of the tibia leg bone) with its
attached periosteum and by skin taken
from the chest. The transplaDted parts
united without undergoing subsequent
contraction and degeneration.
''The case is of special interest because
hitherto tranSplanted bone has always
been interposed between healthy sections
of bone, while in this instance the piece
OF tibia was directly implanted into a fun
nel-shaped excavation in the head OF the
