Comr. Guptill Favors an
Agricultural Building

Commissioner OF Agriculture William
T. Guptill believes that the depart
ment of agriculture should be housed
in an Office building outside the State
House He also believes that provis-
ions should be made in such a build
ing in addition to adequate offices for
the department Of agriculture for the
housing of chemists who do the work
Of analysis for that department and
for an agricultural museum in which
could be exhibited inventions and de-
vices in connection with improved
l.ethado Of agriculture.
Commissioner Guptill sail in Gis-
cussing this proposed change, that
eyen at times when the Legislature
was not in session the rooms used
we're not adequate and when during the
session the judiciary rooms in which
the department of inspection is car
ried on was taken over by the commit
tee there was hardly room in the two
Offices of the department for placing
the desks to SAY nothing of any OPP
portunity for work. AS there is no
place in the State House where the
department. can be Adequately accom-
mocated he believes that the PROPOSE
ton of sufficient room can only be
solved by a separate building. Part
Of this building he thinks could be
prfitably utilized for the chemists.
who do the work of analysis for the
department. and also those working for
TIE Board of Health.
1t was further pointed out by the
commissioner that the department lad

clifton to the heads Of the bureaus it

department. during a part of the en-
tire season including the various in

FARMERS UNION AFFAIRS

The Executive Board Of the Farm.

exercising his splendid talents in the
interests of agriculture in another

Resilient Hunters Registration
Present methods of transportation
and hunting, and the greatly increas-
ing number Of hunters coming into our
State each season, makes some method
of Resident Registration imperative.
Under present laws there Is absolute
ly no way to distinguish a resident
hunter from a nonresident or an alien.
and until some means of Identification
is provided the State will continue to
lose large revenue each season on &C
count Of the number Of THOSE hunting
without a non-re sident or alien license
simply because the present law pro-
vides no way of identifying them as
non-residents or aliens.
OF all'the States in the Union only
Maine and three others-Delaware.
Maryland and North. Carolina-do not
have such a law. the fee ranging from
fifty cents in Arizona to five dollars In
Mississippi. Missouri, South Dakota
and Washington.
OF the New England States the fee
being in New Hampshire one dollar,
Vermont sixty cents, Massachusetts
one dollar Connecticut one dollar and
twenty-five cents and Rhode Island one

guard the rights of all of our citizens
in their mutual ownership of our game
at the same time taking into consider
alton the fact that while the game of
a State is owned by its people, less
than four per cent. Of the people exer-
else their right toskill game. The right
OF the other ninety-six per cent Of the
people to the enjoyment of that game
living and adding thereby to the at
fractions Of our forests and fields and
to the real resources Of the State
should also be recognized Dead game
is not a resource but draft upon the
supply which must be met by measures
or conservation in order that the sup
ply may not become exhausted.
In any law of this kind the right Of a
resident or his immediate family to
hunt upon his own land upon which he
is domiciled should not be abridged.
While the passage Of a Residents
Registration law carrying even so
small fee as most of the other States
do would add many thousands of dol
lars to the annual income of the State.
thus making the net cost Of this de-
partment correspondingly less, the
matter OF revenue is secondary In i'm
portance to the value of such a law as
an aid in enforcing the rights of the
state under existing laws to the rev.
enue due from nonresident and alien
hunters.
Reports from all other States which
register resident hunters are unani-
nous that such a law has placed no
heavy burden on any class and that it
has proven its value and accordingly
meets very general approval.
Another great benefit from such a
law would come from. the reports made
by resident hunters of the game killed

from home or who could not be reached

work.
The intent of the law was to improve
tho service but it has not accomplished
its purpose.
That part of the law requiring Ger.
LITIGATION by the municipal. officers
should be repealed. 80
The suitability of a man to be IL
censed as a guide is much better

proprietors. and others directly inter

a. guide resides perhaps only a short
time each year.
During the past two years many adj
ditions have been made to the exhibits
in the Museum.
Various species of our native birds
and animals are grouped in cases and
shown with q reproduction Of their
natural poses and surroundings. This
arrangement makes a much more in
teresting and attractive exhibit than
the placing Of many species together
promiscuously.
More attention is being given to the
educational function Of the Museum
than to making display Of miscellan-
eous curios.
Last year a large concrete and plate
glass aquarium. containing eight tanks.
was built, and this Is stocked with live
specimens of game fish of various ages.
which makes most attractive exhibit.
The Museum also contains an extern
sive meteorological collection as well as
many exhibits Of historical interest.
1t Is impossible, however, to properly
arrange many Of the collections owing
to lack of space, and until much more
room is provided the educational value
OF the Museum cannot be realized.
Water Supply
When the aquarium was built it was
intended to supply it with water from
the spring owned by the State, but
owing. to the condition of the pipe
which has been laid probably more
than forty years. the supply has proved
inadequate and water from the CITY
system has to be used.
inc flow OF this spring is sufficient to
furnish the required supply of pure
water. not only for the aquarium. but
Tor the drinking faucets in the State
Rouse. and a new three-inch pipe
snouio De provided for this service.

Yes! Lift Corn
off Without Pain!
Cincinnati authority tells how to
dry up a corn or callus so it
lifts off with fingers.

You corn pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority, because
a few drops Of freezone applied d.
rectly on a aching tender corn or cal.
lus, stops soreness at once and soon
the corn or hardened callus loosens
SO it can be lifted out root and all
without pain.
A small bottle of freezone cost very
little at any drug store. but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or calIus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like charm every
