December. Many Of the hunters are plan
ming 70 spend at least a part Of the time
at the various deer camps in this vicinity
and the uncertainty of the conquest seems
to add rather than detract from the enjoy
ment of the sport There will probably be
100 or more hunters out during the two
weeks and from this number it is certain
that big percentage will be unsuccessful

| The law remains the same as in recent
years namely, that one deer of any de
scriptjon Is allowed each hunter the use
or rifles or shot guns is permitted, and the
hours of hunting are restricted to those
between 5 a. m. and to p. IN.
Deer hunting in this town has never yet
been married by an accident and 1T IS sim
cerely hoped that this record will be I'M
broken. Safety first" is a good motto to
follow and also it is best to remember to
make certain of your target, for live deer

FOOD EXPORTS.

To whatever causes the high
prices OF food may be attribuated,
me exports cannot be held responsi-
ole, We have been exporting less
lood in 1916 than we diu III 1915.
In the first eight months OF this
year our exports OF wheat wer. more
ran 40,OOO,00o bushels behind those
Jf the corresponding eight months a
year ago. The exports of wheat
4lour shown no appreciable change.
Dut decrease in the wheat exports
from nearly 14l, 100000 to little
over l00,000,000 bushels is not "a
change calculated to raise prices, and
It must have had some influence in
.etarding the increase. There was
also some decrease in the export of
corn.
In August, which must have been
about the first month of exporting
rom the new crop, the exports this
year were one-third less than year
ago. The exact figures are 1915.
l6,s3s,3l3 bushels and 1916, 1859
$50 bushels.
The export of canned beef in the
eight months dropped over 23,0O0,-
700 pounds or almost 40 per cent.
The exports of fresh beef fell off
1S,00o,000 pounds or nearly one
.hird. Picked beef fell off one-third
Jacon showed a substantial increase,
1ut it was not quite one-sixth. There
vas very slight increase in hams
md shoulders. There was a decrease
If 22,o00,000 pounds in lard. The
Increase in picked pork was under
20 per cent.
The value of all meat exports was
worth in round figures $176,000.000
asst year and 100000 this year.
The increase is very small, and
proves that the quantity exported
sas less than last year.
The wheat crop is undeniably
short, though it is nearly or quite
aqual to the domestic requirements,
over from last year. Probably the
main factor in the increase of food
the universal employment at high
wages, as result of which the work
ng people are buying more and bet
Ter food than ever before. The
wheat market sows some signs Of
manipulation. The supply of animal
'ood has been scarcely keeping pace
With the growth of the population,
nd the increased prosperity Of the
'vage-eamers has given sudden
stimulus to the demand.-Philade

come to the conclusion that the big

tanned in those states, sections or
counties where there was no Demo-
