HINSDALE. N. H.
Only 12 Local Hunters Get Deer.

The deer season closed officially
Wednesday, but the deer hunters are
almost unanimous that .'Old Man Win
ter unofficially closed the season with
the big storm Monday although a few
of the dyedin the-wool hunters ven
tured out Tuesday and Wednesday, but
with no success, owing to the unusual
depth of snow. The season is probably
the most unsuccessful locally thus far
experienced, only y deer being killed,
the successful hunters already having
been named, except Erving Smith, who
shot q fine 10-point buck We'd
nesdav. No definite estimate can
be made as to the number of deer here
abouts, owing to the varied reports of
the hunters, but it is safe to say that
in most localities they have not been
found as numerous as usual and they
are wilder in every place. These con-
ditions are due, many think, to the
dogs which have pursued these animals
all the fall with considerable activity.
About the only consolation the hunters
have now is that owing to the small
number killed this year the hunting
will be better than ordinary next year
and that the season has been, as al
ways, wholly devoid Of accidents. The
largest deer secured in this section of
the county, so far as known, was a
buck with 14-point antlers, killed by
Samuel Dudley in Winchester.

RESOLUTION IN
SUPPORT OF SUFFRAGE
But Vermont State Grange Took No
Action on the Perry Prohibitory
Referendum

BURLINGTON, Dee. II. = The Yer
mont State Grange, which closed its
44th annual meeting here Yesterday,
Notwithstanding the suggestion made
by State Master Cady in his annual ad-
dress Tuesday, did not adopt resolu-
t1ons in support of the Perry liquor
referendum measure, it being the
sense of the body that as the order has
always stood for prohibition it is
needless to take any action along this
line at this time.
The resolutions adopted included
one creating a 5000 scholarship in one
of the agricultural schools of the state
when the Pomona and subordinate
bodies contribute like amount
for the same purpose. Equal suffrage
came in for recognition and a resolu-
tion was adopted expressing a desire
that the Grange cooperate with the
American Woman S Suffrage associa-
ton through its congressional commit
Tee for the purpose Of supporting the
Susan B. Anthony amendment to the
federal constitution. The resolution
adopted requests the members Of the
Vermont congressional delegation TO
vote for the amendment. The amend
ment also asks that the Democratic
md Republican parties embody declara-
tions for suffrage in state and nation
al platforms.
A resolution was adopted giving sup
port to the projected apple survey and
cooperation with the plan as outlined
by the Greater Vermont association.
1t was voted to put the control of
$4,000 of the permanent fund in the
hands of the executive committee.
Heretofore the control of the fund has
rested with the treasurer. State Lectur-
er f. H. Hallett of st. ,Johnsbury was
given 500 to use in his work. The
educational committee praised the work
of the last legislature along education
al lines.
The time and place of holding the
next meeting will be left to the execu-
tive committee.
The report of the committee on ere
dentials showed that there were
loo Oranges of the state represented.
The total membership Of the subordi-
nate Oranges is 17,400, 1923 being the
total membership Of the Pomona
Oranges. There is 81, ,144.I9 in the
permanent fund, which with the So,
| 09474 in the current fund, makes a
total in the treasury of $17,231.05. The
| two members elected to the executive
committee are H. NJ. Farnham of Mont.
pelier and Heman Stannard of West
