EASY MoNEY.-Thanks to a wise ac-
ton by the recent Vermont Legislature,
so much criticised in some respects, YER
mont will not have to spend $40, 9O4.80
another year in bounties on wild animals
because the bounty on hedgehogs (porcu-
pines, if you willy was redu ed by one
half, the price on the heads OF the animals
now being l 3 cents, as against 80 cents
during the years when the state paid a
small fortune annually in an effort to re-
duce the pest. All but less than 81, 900
of this grand total for 1912 was expend-
ed for hedgehogs. Hedgehogs at 1 5 cents
apiece will not have SO much attraction
for the Vermonter who is looking for a
little pin money, but it is fully enough to
warrant the belief that the days of his
quil-ship are numbered. Some Vermont
ers who have kept on the trail of the
beast ever since the bounty was declared,
can be depended upon to continue the eff
fort, as it is easy money in the off season
of other gantul occupations. - Barre

National Extravaganza

! One of the most astonishing develop
ments of the time is in the increased use
| by American people of liquors and tobac-
co. During the first seven months OF the
present fiscal year, beginning July 1stlast,
as shown by report OF the Commission
er of Internal Revenue, the people OF this
Nation, Notwithstanding the extension
of the so.called "dry" territory and an
agitation for thecurta ilment of the liquor
business, which reached it's highest point
in the recent passage of the Webb bill by
Congress, vastly increased their consump-
ton of alcoholic liquors. They consumed
ninety-four millions of gallons of whiskey
an increased of five millions gallons over
the corresponding period the previous
increase of 1,S4O,o0O barrels over the
same time last year.
The Pittsburg Gazette-Times, in COM
menting on this report, says that this is
"going some" 1t points to vast and
an increasing outlay for things outside
the classification of necessities. 1t con-
victs the Aneri IAN people OF the extrava.
gance so often charged against them. 1t
caused the Government internal revenue
receipts to increase $40, 100000 in the
months covered by the report, but this
gives little indication of the vast sum ex-
pended by the consumers of liquors and
and cigars. We call this National extra
vagance, because OF the volume and eX-
tent of it, but in reality it is the aggre-
CATION of small individual eXtravagances
and excuses.
