These savings banks have not only
afforded the people or massachusetts a
less expensive sort OF life insurance
but they have caused the regular In
sufahce companies TO reduce their pro.

ed that they have saved tho people
AT least twenty million dollars.
Banks are making every effort TO
encourage people to save. one OF tho
most unique schemes OF this sort was
devised hy the management OF a Mis-

According to this schedule. which was
based upon thorough investigation. the
food OF Il family should cost 20 nor
cent. the house 20 per cent. clothing l3
per ceht, housckceping l2 per cent.
education per cent and Injuries per
cent. leaving 10 per cent TO be saved.
This schedule WAS printed in lit
tic book, which WAS also ruled off in
parallel columns 30 that b. simple
system of bookkeeping the house I'c
could determine whctho: al" were Ill.

Save tic Stnte's Game

n EFEAT or emasculation of the Farmers
IL Union game bill now pending in the
General Assembly. would be a great calamity
The bill. which has the approval of the Vir-
einia Game and Game Fish Protective Associa-
ton and of the Audubon Society. as we'll as
of tho great organization which originated it,
is Endorsed also by those honestly DESTROYS
that the game life of this State shall be
conserved
That all varieties of game are fast dis
appearing is a matter OF common knowledge
Wild turkeys and quail. phcasants and other
game birds. once common on Virginia hills
and in Virginia valleys. become rarer every
year. They are being eXerminated ruth
lessly by the pothunter and the greedy slayer
who hunts for pleasure, but is not worthy of
the name OF sportsman.
Meantime, insecivorous birds, according to
an authortys computation. are decreasing
all over the country at the rate of 0 per cent
year Every dweller in the country under
stands that this decrease in the number of
such birds has been accompanied by a CORE
spending and perhaps even greater increase
in all insect and crop-destroying pests I'm
less the birds are protected, the time may
come all too soon when vegetation will be
seriously mcnaccd Clearly, if Virginia wants
TO save the birds and protect vegetation
against insect attacks, some decisive steps
must be taken.
The Farmers Union game bill is a compre-
HeHslNe, carefully lnOuSnt-0ut measure. 1t
is not radical. ii adopted, it will put Virginia
in the company of other progressive Common
wealths, which have similar laws already on
their statute books.
one OF the principal features of the bill is
the provision il makes for State game COM
missioner and for city and county game
wardens, who are to be paid officers Of the
government. The law as i, stands might
serve some good purposes if any efficient
agencies OF enforcement were provided but
there are practically none. The commits
sioner and wardens would make enforcement
real
Provision is made for system OF licenses
owners and tenants may hunt OH their own
lands without license. but all others must
make the application and pay the prescribed
ices. In addition to the license. the bill as
originally introduced requires that the written
consent OF the owner of land must be obtained
oy any one desiring 10 hunt over such land
ms section has been amended in committees
and by no means for the better. AS originally
written, the bill protected the farmer big
and little. against the invasions and depreda-
lions OF the pothunter. The amended bill
makes this protection much less real and puts
the farmer to much Inconvenience OF posting
and testifying, in order to take advantage
of il at all.
But the real point OF interest and danger
supplied he birds themselves. For the sake
OF tn" state, they should have some reason
able opportunity TO multiply Certainly they
should be saved from the extinction that now
impcnds.
