temporarily hampered in its work for
the people as whole by trouble from
two sources.
First: The Municipal Court.
Second: The City Council.
"It is idle to think that on a subject
which so closely touches the lives of
the whole people, as the purity of the
food-supply can be settled by merely
ignoring It or embalming it in a
committee. The question is too vital,
and hand-in-hand with it goes the
query, who are, the people who op-
pose clean food and what have they
to gain?" 1t is we'll known to every
one that all consumers want what
they eat as pure as 1t can be gotten.
Who then are those who oppose and
what proportion do they bear to the
whole population who are their help
ers, and why? There is another
phase sadder yet. The wealthy can
protect themselves somewhat by
choosing to buy from those shops sell
ing only the choicer and more expen-
sive meats, where the proprietors will
try TO please. But what of those who
cannot do this because of the few.
of the thin coats who buy
where they must to sustain
the life that fiickers feebly from
hunger? What Of these? Have the
laws and their officials taken no ac-
count that they too exist?
Those who buy at night because
the days wage was needed before food
could be had, and then too small TO
furnish a reserve for the next day.
those whose scanty clothes and tiny
baskets make them shun the day
lcrowd and force them to buy when
the darkness hides some of their
misery. These are they whom the
law must protect, they cannot helI
themselves. Is it the thought that \
makes no. difference that such as thes'
have lost the desire and the right 4

dare say It? And yet how else car
rsome actions be explained? What Il

1000 BUCKS SHOT
Probably 100 Does Illegally Killed
Vermont Deer Run
Very Large

The reports received at the State
Fish and Game Commissioner of
flee at Lyndon at two o'clock yester-
day afternoon indicated that about
1000 buck had been shot during
the open season. At that time they
had made report of 1,782 and they
thought about 800 more remained
to be classified. At that tire Wind
sor county was the banner county on
the number of deer killed, there be-
ing 267 there. The smallest for any
county was one in the county of
Grand Isle.
State Fish and Game Commission
er Titcomb when asked about the
working of the present law, said that
he felt that the law had been better
observed than usual this season and
that the officers had been able to
find every doe that had been shot,
although they were not always able
to find the person guilty of shooting
them. He thought that about 100
doe had been killed during the sea-
son.
The reports of deer killed have
been more promptly and accurately
given than ever before. They indicat-
ed that the deer in Vermont are
much larger than in states where
the shooting is more common.
A large number of deer have been
killed weighing over 800 pounds.
The largest deer reported was from
Rutland county and weighed Alt
pounds. A much larger number of
deer than usual were reported killed
in Essex county this year. While it
is not thought that many more have
been shot there than usual it is felt
that the people there are paying
more attention to the law and for
that reason are making better show
ing. The summary by counties is as
follows:

Carl @. Hansen Hears of the Death
of His Wealthy Father in
Denmark.

Carl G. Hansen. a painter, who has
been in America for IL years and in
ST. Johnsbury for the past five
years, received word last week that
his father, Hens Hansen, was dead
in Copenhagen, Denmark. Accord
ing to Mr. Hansen, his father was a
sugar refiner and exporter and is ex-
pected to have been worth in the
neighborhood of $1,500,00O. He
leaves five children, of whom two
sons and two daughters are in Co
penhagen. Mr.. Hansen has CORES
ponded with his sister and is await
ing further news from his home. He
has been in poor health and unable
to work since last March and his
friends here hope that fair share
of the alleged fortune will come his
way. To a Caledonfan reporter,
who inquired as to his future plans
in case he realized on the estate, he
answered that the United States
was good enough for him.
