NO MORE DOE KILLING.
Barre Times.


The deer hunting season which opens
at 8 O'Clock on the morning of Novem-
Der Is and continues to 5 o'clock in the
afternoon Of December is to be diff
ferent from recent hunting seasons in
that the shooting of does will be pro-
hibited. The legislative session Of 1915
amended the fish and game law of the
State, permitting both bucks and does
to be killed during that year Q9l5) but
prohibiting the slaughter of does there
after. Moreover the law stipulates
that the wild deer to be taken must
have horns not less than three inches
in length.
Therefore, the hunters who are max
ing their plans to go into the woods of
Vermont during the 1916 season need to
bear these stipuations in mind lest they
lay themselves liable to prosecution.
We do not think the change in the law
has become sufficiently well known
throughout the whole State as yet; and
hence from this time forth unusual
publicity ought to be gwen to the law
relating to deer hunting, The main
feature to present is that does are pro-
tected, the second that bucks must have
horns not less than three inches in
length, the third that hunting is re-
stricted to the hours between 5 a. m.
and p. m. the fourth that Sunday
hunting is prohibited, the fifth that the
season runs from the morning of No
vember Is to the afternoon of Deem
Der s. and the sixth that the killing Of
fawns is forbidden.

MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
Rutland News.

An impression exists among some
people that 1t is cheaper to buy goods of
mail order houses than Of the home
merchant. They will do well to ascer-
tain how far the mail order house is
going to work off second grade goods
on them. The home merchant could
sell great deal cheaper than he does
were he satisfied to give his customers
seconds. The mail order house can
work off seconds very easily because
customers are much less apt to return
them. If customer will tell the home
merchant what he can get certain
article for at distant mail order house,
the home merchants can almost in
variably provide the same article for
the same money. He will give
the customer the privilege of examin-

HEPBURN HALL.

Hepburn Hall, the large new dormi-
tory for men, is proving very popular
Every room is taken and there is a
waiting list. 1t is quite an achievement
for a college of $40 students to add a
residence for 100 to its equipment and
fill it the first year. The result is due
partly to the attractiveness of the build
ing with its large, well-lighted studies
and bed rooms and bath room for each
two men, An enclosed loggia connects
with coy club dining room, and over
this is one of the most unique rooms
ever provided for an American college.
1t is large social hall and on the
walls the donor has placed about %
trophies of his hunting expeditions in
Africa and the Rocky Mountains.
There are heads of moose, elk, caribou
mountain sheep, several species of deer,
and large Alaskan bear, and of Afri-
can animals a rhinosceros, water buff
falo, Gland, and several antelopes and
gazeles,
An experiment was tried in placing a
lady in charge of Hepburn Hall. She
makes her home in the building and has
a staff of mattresses who make the beds
and clean the entire building daily. The
boys like the plan and it results in COL
lege home both cleaner and quieter
than the ordinary dormitory.
For twelve years Middlebury has
made an annual gain in attendance,
The students now number 80, which is
q more than last year. The Freshman
class is 1872, the largest the college has
ever had. Additions to the upper
classes make the total number of new
students 1873. There are POI men in
college aud 1863 women. This is the first
year the number of men has reached
200 The number of Vermont students
is l72, Ia more than ever before. The
numbers from other States are, Massa-
chusetts GO, New York 80, Connecticut
%, New Jersey q, New Hampshire 10,
Maine 5, Pennsylvania 4, Rhode Island
2, Illinois |, Colorado l, Ohio |.
The above does not include Summer
Session attendance. Every student at
Mlddlebury is candidate for degree;
there are no specials"
The college is greatly enjoying the
new chapel, the gift of Ex-Governor
Mead The fine pipe organ and the
vested choir of "a voices under the
leadership of Professor Hathaway,
furnish excellent music. Visitors
are nearly always present at the daily
service, conducted by President Thomas,
who also usually breaches at the Sun
day vesper services.

NEW ENGLAND FRUIT SHOW,

Barre Times,
Vermopters should appreciate the
distinction conferred on their State in
having the exhibition of the New Eng
land fruit show put on at Montpelier this
year by participating in large numbers,
The show il to be held from November
IA to November Is and will furnish a
grand opportunity for Vermont people
and others from nearby States to get the
benefit of fruit display Of the best
varieties. At the same time the meet
ing of the Vermont Horticultural So
oiety is to be held in Montpelierand will
have tendency to increase the attend
ance and heighten the interest in the
larger demonstration. In fact, the eX-
hibits are already booked in such gen.
erous number that it is planned to have
an overflow exhibition from the Mont
pelier city hall to the armory building
nearby. Everything bids fair for a
most successful meeting, and exhibit
ors and Vermonters who are at all in
terested in fruit culture will make a
mistake if they donot spend at least one
day in attending the meetings of the
Vernon Horticultural society and in
spectng the exhibits.

SOMEBODY'S GETTING IT.

1t is getting daily more difficult to
convince the men and women behind
the counter the men and women in
the Offices, the men and women who
work on fixed weekly salaries land
they constitute the bulk of the Ameri-
can working people, that there is any
real prosperity with US, Their salaries
go no higher, but the cost of every
thing they purchase is higher, Such
people as these know that the Demo
cratic administration has brought them
no prosperity-indeed they are getting
pinched in the midst of plenty. 1t the
words of the old song, Somebody Else
is Getting 1t. "

To the Editor Of the Register:

To the Editor of the Register,
A rather peculiar state of affairs eX-
lists in this town at the present time,
and as a similar condition may exist in
many other towns in this State and
country just now, it seems to me that a
little note and comment on the subject
may not be out Of place, just to get
people to do little meditatng thereon.
At the recent primary election three
candidates for nomination for town
representative were placed in the field,
all claiming to be Republicans and in
tending to vote the Republican tickets
this fall. There we've no candidates
from any other political party. Of
course one of these received plurality
vote and was proclaimed the official nom
inee of the party. Friends of the two
unsuccessful candidates got together
and said, "He has received plurality
vote, now let him get majority, we
appeal to higher court " So the party
who had been second best in the pri-
mary, and close second too, was nom
mated by certificate under the old law
He wanted to be known as an indepen-
dent Republican, or Opposition Republi-
can, but as the plurality party claimed
to have monopolized all the Republi-
canism there was in town, he finally ran
under the brief title Of independent"
and was elected Whereupon the
minority party promptly eXcommuni-
Gated all who had voted with the
majority, from the Grand Old Party,
and proclaimed them as party deserters
and Democrats, and this notwithstand.
ing, the results Of the voting showed
clearly that nearly everyone had voted
the Republican ticket for every other
office.
Looking back few years over the
history of our town | remember a
great Republican revival or Demo
cratic land slide, in which dozen
or so good old Democrats APP
peared to be thoroughly converted to
Republicanism. | never have heard
any of the Grand Old Party denounce
these Democrats as idiots, criminals or
even sinners for deserving their party.
Now, if it is all right for Democrats to
leave their party and join the Republi-
cans | am wondering if it is an un-
pardonable sin for man who usually
votes the Republican ticket, to vote oc-
cassionally, or even once, for a Demo-
crat, if the Democrat is great deal
better man than his Republican oppon.
ent. | verify believe that some of these
hard shelled Republicans would vote for
the Devil himself for any office if he
happened to be the Republican nominee,
rather than to vote for the best man on
earth if he was nominated by the Demo-
Gratis or any other political party.
I'll am wondering too if this G. O. p.
will ever consent to receive US poor sin
ners back into the fold, or if we are to
be forever barred from the pleasure of
voting the Republican ticket. | am not
writing this for the sake of keeping up
a community strife but in hopes of
getting people to do more thinking and
less talking.

MYSTERY OF POLIOMYLITIS.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian.

The announcement that three path
oogsts working in the laboratory of
the Mayo Foundation and the New
York hospital have apparently solved
the mystery of the origin of infantile
paralysis, and the means BY which the
infection enters the human organism
will be generally hailed with delight.
While the means of controlling the dis
ease have not been determined, the dis
covery of the origin Of the disease will
give physicians information that we
may confidently expect will soon lead
to its control. The public doubtless will
not understand the nature of the germ
from the description the scientific have
given-"A peculiar polymorphus strep-
tococcus," but it is worth good deal
to know that SOMEBODY else does under
stand this peculiar animal.
