A FEW TROUT cAUeRT
Weather Rather Severe Even for Old
Time Fishermen.

The Green river quartette, Dr. b. G.
Jenney, Emory S. Harris, Grant l..
Harbour and Trenor r. Gregg, return
ed yesterday from their fishing trip.
Their average catch amounted to less
than six trout apiece. Trenir Gregg
said that 1t was the first time in his
long experience that he had slipped
down on the Ice while trout fishing in
April.
Game Warden Harry Chase crossed
the mountain Saturday into Stamford.
He returned early in the evening and
stated that from what he had been
able to learn the fishing in that locali-
ty was much better than on this side
OF the mountain.
one of the best trout of the day, a
14-inch fish, was caught in the south
stream below the shoddy mill dam.
The fish was seen by several men
but all were strangers to the lucky
fisherman.
James II. Whitney went up to the
stream that flows from the Hunt res
ervoir. He secured a couple of legal
fish and returned home. The reser-
voir, he stated, was still covered with
ice.
Bradford Godfrey made a good catch
of Is trout during the day. In the
morning he caught a few in the Fur
mace Brook but tried the Dewey
brook in the afternoon and secured
some bigger ones.
One of the best trout caught during
the day was a 12-inch fish taken out
of Dewey brook by Paul Moses
Claire w. Soule and Andrew c. Oat-
man fshed a small brook which flows
into the river near the Burden ore bed
Each caught one small trout.
b. G. Slade and Amos Aldrich wal
lowed through the snow drifts in Bick-
ford hollow and caught between them
about dozen lean trout.
Jim Bent was out as usual. secured
good catch among which was one
three-quarter pound trout.
John w. Davis put in the day on
Furnace brook and brought in II fair
sized fish.

WASTE IN TIE HOUSEHOLD
The Causes are Haste, False Values
and False Pride

an discussing the little phrase cost
OF high living we want to identify IL
with waste as 1t exists in the Amer
lean home of moderate means. Folly
causes waste among the idle rich; ig-
norance causes it among the wretch
eddy poor. But in the home over
which there presides an apparently in
telligent, earnest woman, why should
there be waste? Because intelligence
and earnestness go down before three
factors of modern life-haste, false
values and false pride. The little
leaks which in the end represent the
cost of high living can be traced to
one OF these three causes. or late
years the American woman has adopt
ed the slogan of her husband and son,
Time is money She seizes upon
every saving device. She rushes her
housekeeping as her husband PUSHES
his employees. The result is a pecu-
liar form of high living in the home
that did not exist when more time was
given to its management" says Wom-
ans Home Companion for May

Investigators have reported that only
one third of the housekeepers in Am
erican cities and towns do their own
marketing The other two thirds in

servants, children and the telephone.
in the average town where the tele-
phone service is unlimited three
fourths of the ordering at butcher
shops and groceries is done over the
wire. Dealers all approve the tele-
phone method because it is a time
saver for them as well as the custo-
mer Many of them maintain that it
is fully as economical for the house
wife, but actual investigation proves
that this is not true. The housewife
who selects her meats and green yege-
tables with personal care and discuss

brands in groceries saves from five
to fifteen per cent on her orders.
These figures were furnished by rep
resentatives of three reliable firms in

same figures have been found to hold
good in smaller cities and towns Yours

SHELDON'S THIRD
AND LAST CHECK
COMES BACK"
No. 200l Appears at Benning.
ton County National Bank
WAS PASSED IN NEW YORK
Final Feature of Alleged Forqerles by
Former Vermont Hosiery Com
pany 5ookkeeper

The last of the three check blanks
supposed to have been stolen from
the Office of the Vermont Hosiery and
Machinery company by w. Z. Sheldon
who was employed by the company
as bookkeeper, has turned up. 1t ap-
peared at the Bennington County
National bank, having been forwarded
through the banking clearing house
in New York City. The blank had
been filled out for $25 and was en-
dorsed by woman in New York up
on whom it is probable the check was
passed by Sheldon.
Sheldon came here in October and
entered the employ of the hosiery
company as bookkeeper. He gave his
home as Fitchburg, Mass, and ac-
cording to President Henry l.. Field
of the company was a bookkeeper of
ordinary ability. He left the employ
of the company the latter part of
March and disappeared from Benning-
ton on the night of March %. The
following Monday the firm of Weeks
a. Graham, first class liquor dealers
of North street, learned that a 500
check, signed by President Field and
endorsed by Sheldon, was a forgery.
AS soon as the Evening Banner was
issued the following afternoon giving
an account of the alleged forgery,
Joseph A. Evans, the proprietor of
the local newsroom, at once looked
up a check that he had cashed for
Sheldon the previous Saturday night
and at once realized that he had been
victimized
An investigation at the Office of the
hosiery company revealed the fact
that the last sheet of blank checks in
the book then being used was miss
ing. The stubs, however remained in
the book and bore the numbers 1899,
1000 and POOL. The check which was
passed on Mr.. Evans was numbered
1899, that cashed at the saloon of
Weeks & Graham was number 1000.
The check which the Bennington
county bank has returned to New
York was numbered POOL. This COM
pletes the series and undoubtedly
rings down the curtain on Sheldon's
act as Jim the Penman" in Ben
nington.

POND is PRIVATE
Fishing Is Open, However, In Streams
That Flows From II.

Editor of Banner: So many Der
sons have inquired If we were now
permitting anyone to fish In our trout
pond that feel We should correct the
impression which seems to prevail
from reading your article In Satur-
days Banner, which states that some
good strings OF trout were caught
from Griswold's Pond.
While your statement is doubtless
true that the fish came from our pond
they were not taken from 1t, but from
the brook which feeds 1t.
We have tried to teach these trout
since their tingerlinghood not to stray
away from home during the open ses-
son. The writer has dug angle
worms, chased grasshoppers, boiled
liver and picked currant worms for
them. We have posted signs, and sat
by the hour with a pocket full of
stones to protect them from King and
other two-legged fishers, and done all
we could to make home pleasant and
safe for them, but if they are inclined
to leave our bed and board, there IN
no fish line on them and we don't care
if they do get tangled up with fish
hook on the other side of our line
fences.
We have been asked why we did
not screen them in so they could not
get away and reply that so long as the
fellows do not annoy us by fishing on
our premises we shall be glad to keep
the pond stocked and let it remain az
a feeder to the Dewey Brook and riv.
er below. The better the fishing In
Bennington, the more tackle we win
sell, and that is where we get butter
for our bread. l only wish there
could be several ponds maintained, az
is ours, where the fish would remain
unmolested, but permitted to run up
stream to spawn and down stream to
dine, and it would solve the problem
of keeping the streams well stocked
all the time. believe 1t would be q
matter of true economy for the state
to establish, or encourage private
owners of such ponds, stock them
with fngerlings of some size and then
protect them from hogs and poachers.
1t would insure good fishing for all.
