Our Fish and Game Interests.

Four propositions of wide public
interest were brought out by different
speakers at the annual meeting and
banquet of the Caledonia Forest and
Stream club held here last Wednes-
day. They were the opportunity for
systematic planting of trout through
the club, the protection of lakes and
ponds that are natural trout waters
from the ravages of reservoir and
power projects, the closing of the
headwaters of good trout streams and
the education of the public to the ad-
vantages of reasonable regulation of
fishing and hunting in the state.
Any resident of this section who
wishes to plant trout in a stream
should send his application to the
secretary of this club. w. B. Eastman
of ST. Johnsbury, because the club can
distribute the applications among the
different streams of the county and
get more trout for the waters than an
individual application sent directly to
the state authorities. If there were
applications sent direct to the state
by half a dozen men for the same
stream only one of those applications
could be granted. At the same time
there might be half a dozen good
streams in the same vicinity for which
no application had been made. If
these half dozen APPLICATIONS are sent
to the secretary of the club he would
apply to the state for one shipment
for the stream mentioned and one
shipment for each of the five streams
for which no application had been
made. In this way the people of that
community would get six times as
many trout as they would from the
individual applications. APPLICATION
blanks can. be had from the secretary
of the club and applicants might do
we'll to ask for trout for the stream
they most desire and then name two
or three other streams to which a
shipment might be sent in case the
assignment for the first named stream
had been filled.
Around nearly every lake or pond
in the state that has good fishing
thousands of dollars have been spent
in erecting summer cottages and
large numbers of people go there for
their summer vacation. AS a result
the land values about these bodies of
water have been increased a hundred
fold or more. People have bought and
established summer homes there on
the assumption that the natural at
fractions OF the place would be pre-
served. 1t is not fair to them to al
low someone else for private gain to
destroy the production OF fish in the
waters or to transform the beautiful
shores into great waste stretches of
sinking mud and make the summer
homes undesirable and worthless. The
rights of changing the natural outlet
of lakes or ponds should be defined by
law and the rights maintained.
We know of no other plan that
would help the fishing in our larger
brooks more than the permanent
closing of small headwaters running
into them. the natural breeding and
rearing grounds of the trout. If the
owners OF the land through which
these small streams run give their
consent the state can close such
waters permanently. The men most

The Packard Motor Car company
has posted a notice in its shops that
promotions to positions of Importance
in the organization of that company
will be given only to those who are
native born or naturalized citizens of
the United States, or to those who
have relinquished their foreign citi-
zenship, and who have filed with the
government their first papers applying
for citizenship, which application must
be diligently followed to completion.
This announcement has been followed
by largely increased business for the
naturalization authorities in Detroit.
The company is to be commended for
it's effort to increase loyalty to Ameri-
ca among the foreigners who are re-
ceiving American wages and enjoying
American privileges without swearing
allegiance to the government that
grants these privileges.

CANNED STRAWBERRIES AMI
 RASPBERRY JAM.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: I am a newcomer, and thought would join the Corner Sisters. Hoping that these recipes will be helpful to someone:
 Canned Strawberries: Fill a quart can about three quarters full of se- lected ripe strawberries which have been hulled, washed and thoroughly drained; and then pour over them a syrup made by boiling together five minutes, one and one-half cups sugar and one cup water. Pour over the ber- ries boiling hot and seal the covers tight as possible and set jars in a boiler and fill up, entirely covering the cans with boiling water. Cover the boiler with a thick cloth and leave undisturbed until water is cold. Then see that the covers are tight before putting away.
 Raspberry Jam: Allow three-quar- ters of a pound of sugar to a pound of the berries; and a pint of currant juice to five pounds Of berries. Mix the sugar and, berries in layers. Mash the berriess and let them remain for an hour, then add the currant juice and boAS the jam for half an hour, stirring iGsfrequently from the bottom to keeDA from burning. Jam may be made Wft1I blackberries and strawber-
 rfes the same way.

Dear Social Corner Sisters:-Ale-

 have seen punches of flowers used alone on soldiers graves that would be thrown out as waste by those same women if their child brought them in.
 Money is spent on the hall or church to please the living that day, but any flowers do for the dead soldier unless he has relatives who decorate his grave.
 Many would be glad to give flowers and arrange them if they were asked but the committee often act satisfied with very few flowers. A few HIacs, apple blossoms and lot: of green will make every grave 2 beautiful mound with little work ana no expense. Try it.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: The journey of life seems to be devoted to travelling and striving to achieve that which will lead us to happiness. This passion and love for happiness was given us at the creation, and we rec ognize 1t as a natural right, yet there is no limit and no one seems to win a perfect prize.
