Grangers Want Deer Legislation

Just before 1t adjourned it's 2Sth an nual session in New London Thursday afternoon the Connecticut state grange, patrons of husbandry, went on record as being opposed To the law prohibit ing the shooting of deer. The conven- ton passed resolution directing it's legislative and executive committees to work for the repeal of the closed season law on deer
 The grangers expressed themselves as being in favor of a law by which deer could be killed by the owner of premises any time the animal was found within his property boundaries. The present law practically provides for the rearing of deer for the benefit of sportsmen at the expense of the own CTS of orchards and gardens.
 The motion as originally presented was for the establishment of four state parks for deer, the same to be located on wild land that could easily be se- cured. They would be located at about equal distances apart through the mid de of the state. It was the idea of those who advocated this plan that the state should take care of itS own cattle, namely, the deer on it's own ground, and that the farmers should be allow ed to shoot ali deer not in the parks. In view of the fact that the state DO. molegieal society was doing all 1t could 10 encourage the planting and cultivation Of orchards, which are often ruined in night by the stale-proteet- ed deer the advocates of the parks urged that the present conditions presented a situation in which one branch of the state was working directly against the other.
 The state grange also registered a protest against the multiplication of telephone exchanges in rural commun- ities already enjoying service from nearby centers, The matter of protee- ton against the slaughter of game birds and expressed itself in favor of law making closed season of three or live years was also taken up. At the same time the propagation of birds was urged.

 Some of the most exquisite modern point lace is made in the Vienna schools by trained peasant labor.
 Crocheted bedspreads are the fash ton again. One of the prettiest pat together and may be made of carpet warp or coarse white twisted cro- chet cotton.
 A practical overall apron has the sleeves reaching to the wrist and is cut slightly square at the neck, fas- tening at the back. Many people are having these in light make of silk or wool to slip over a good dress when housekeeping and to save the trouble of too many changes of attire.
 When sewing buttons on, if narl TOW pieces of tape is threaded through the button and small hole pierced through the article and the tape drawn through and the ends of the tape stitched down fiat on the wrong siee, the button will be found to last as long as the article.
 Chea pthread and sewing silk are dangerous economies, and it is bet Ter to use such for basting and coarse hand sewing and have the best for machine sewing. Breaking thread or thread that knots is maddening. and SIX that fades and breaks after it IS sewed on the goods wastes ones time and ruins the temper.

threw Steward and fell on him
While in this position Steward drove
