The bill should have been charged TO

for cooperation and urges the closing
Of small tributary streams which con
tain trout that do not ordinarily at
tain legal size until they have
dropped down into the larger waters
The present law authorizes the Com
missioner 10 close such streams, but ii
cannot be done without the written
consent Of the owners, Short term
closing Of streams has not been found
advantageous. The Commissioner
thinks 1t is bad policy to change the
laws every two years, one Of the
reasons for which being the fact that
it takes about two years for the public
to become accustomed to changes,
especially as they apply to open and
close seasons.
The Commissioner closes his cir
cuar by stating that any persons de-

A LIFE STORY

Above her little sufferers bed,
With all mothers grace,
She stroked the curly, throbbing heaC
And smoothcd the fevcred face.
I'He does not know my love, my fears
Ny toll Of heart and hand
But some day in the after years,
Some day he'll understand;
Some day he'll know
| loved him so;
Some day he'll understand"
A wild lad plays his thoughtless par
As fits his childhood's lot,
And tramples on his mothers heart
| Ofttimes and knows it not
He plays among his noisy mates
Nor know his truest friend;
His mother sighs, as still she waits;
"Some day he'll comprehend;
The day will be
When he will see;
Some day he'll comprehend"
The strong youth plays his strenuous
parts
His mother waits alone;
And son he finds another heart
The mate unto his own.
She gives him up in joy and woe;
He takes his young brides hand;
His mother murmurs, "WiIl he know
And ever understand
When will he know
love him so?
When will he understand ?"
The strong man fights his battling
days.
The fight is hard and grim;
His mothers plain old-fashioned ways
Have little charm for him.
The dimness falls around her years,
The shadows round her stand,
She mourns in loneliness and tears:
lie IL never understand,
He'll never know
loved him so;
He'll never understand"
A bearded man of serious years
Bends down above the dead,
And rains the tribute of his tears
Over an old gray head.
He stands the open grave above,
Amid the mourning bands;
And now he knows his mothers love
And now he understands
Now doth he know
She loved him SO,
And now he understands.

Patrons.
White River Junction, Aug. 22-
With premiums in the several depart
ments of the Vermont State Fair,
which will be held on the State fair
grounds here September II, 10, Ia and
Is, aggregating $4,000 and with
purses for the trotting events reach
ing close to $4,000, the commission
having this State event in hand is
again demonstrating its liberality.
Exhibitors of cattle, horses, sheep
and swine, and Of all farm produce
have high regard for the State fair.
1t pays them to make exhibits there,
the premiums being Of satisfying
amounts. Breeders of cattle and
horses from other states find at this
fair that judging is fair and that the
premiums won are on the merit of the
stock.
There is every promise of hotly con-
tested racing on the track The en-
tries are large in all events. There
will be two stake races, 2.20 pace
and 2.20 trot, each with purse of
$1,000. These two events have
brought a big string Of entries. Low
ers of horse racing are promised a
treat each day of the fair.
State Fish Commissioner Titcomb is
arranging for an extensive exhibit of
the fish that inhabit Vermont waters
a more comprehensive and complete
exhibit than has yet been made.
The midway will be extensive. 1t
will again be under the supervision of
Superintendent Williams. Many things
new in the line Of outdoor entertain
ment have already "booked in" and
the midway grounds will be fully
occupied.

A PROCLAMATION
BY Charles W. Gates,
Governor

Whereas, the Vermont troops are
now serving in the United States
Army to preserve and maintain peace
and protect our citizens on the Mexi-
can border
Whereas, such service is being will
ingly and patriotically performed by
our men at a sacrifice to personal in
terest and duty to family and home.
Whereas, it appears that the COM
pensation received by these men is not
sufficient to meet their needs and the
needs of their families, and that if
provision is not soon made for such
purpose such families must become
subject to charity.
Therefore, |, Charles w. Gates,
Governor of the State of Vermont, do
hereby, by virtue of the constitution
in this respect, summon the members
Of the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives to meet in Montpelier in their
respective chambers in the State
House together with the officers of the
two houses on the Gath day of Aug
ust A. D. 1916, at ten o'clock in the
forenoon, to provide for such compen-
sation to Vermont troops, in addition
to United States pay, and for such
relief to their families and their de-
pendents as may seem advisable.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of this state at Montpelier, on the
10th day of August A. D. 1916.

p... Governor

COAL SHORTAGE
Local Dealers Say Consumers Would
DO Well to Buy supply Early

Local Dealers Say Consumers Would
DO Well to Buy supply Early
Local coal dealers when asked re.
garding the coal situation, said that il
would be a good plan for consumers
to buy their coal early as the outlook
at present was that there would be
shortage later, with prices correspond
ingly high, The following letter from
w A, Clark, president Of the New
England Coal Dealers Association,
tells Of present conditions
Boston, Aug, 7, 1916.
"To the Editor:
Dear Strive believe 1t is for the
interest Of your readers to know the
conditions now existing in the aEthra-
cite coal trade.
"ln April, 1916, there was mined
nearly 100000 tons less than in the
corresponding month, 1915. In May,
1916, nearly one half a million tons
less. During this period in 1916 there
was labor trouble which, according to
the newspapers, was settled, but which
in accordance to the facts existing in
the mining regions, was not settled
There was practically no storage coal
on hand April /, except small quan-
titles in the hands of the retail deal
ers. This means that we start out
this season with handicap, Labor
shortage exists in the mining regions
as it does everywhere else.
at is well known to colliery owners
that if the mines are in full operation
they cannot produce an amount of coal
in excess of our requirements. Fur
thermore, transportation facilities are
in a most serious condition. One of
our big New England lines has been
obliged recently to infict an embargo
to relieve congestion, which means
that for a period Of time no anthra-
cite coal could be shipped from the
mines consigned via this particular
railroads lines. This is unprecedent-
ed at this time Of the year.
Transportation facilities by water
are scarce. Water freight rates are
high for this season. 1t is
up to the consumer himself to say
or not we shall have abnor-
mally high priced coal next winter.
The consumer is as much interested in
storing coal at this season as anyone
else. Every person who purchases
coal now, has it delivered, and pays
for it promptly is doing his part tow
ard relieving the situation, and the
risk of shortage next winter.
at is extremely important that We
should all do our part to prevent high
prices which will be brought about
through transportation and coal scar
,ity, thus causing much suffering and
to the improvident, or those
who because Of their method Of living
,annot store goods for the future,
"We trust you are willing to put
his matter before your readers and
hereby greatly oblige,
"Yours very truly,
New England Coal Dealers Asso-
