CATCHIN' ANY?
Trout Season Officially Opened in Yer
mont To-day.

Few fishermen were abroad with rod
and creel when the open season on brook
trout began this morning and until the
ice locked brooks are relieved OF their
winters burden it is probable that
anglers will remain inside the city limits.
Old fishermen say that the water is far
too cold for front navigation and he who
would tarry by sodden banks these days
is doomed to disappointment. Blanks
for fish and game licenses have been re-
ceived at the city clerks Office, but the
rush for fishing permits had not been
great. There are changes in the license
laws this year. changes that may conflict
with some of the wishes and plans of To-
cal fishermen.
References to residents" in the fish
and game laws are interpreted by the
fish and game commissioner in the follow
ing words:
Resident: The word resident as used
in this act is intended to cover all citi-
zens OF the United States who have lived
in this state for not less than six months
prior to date OF making application for .

blowing up buildings.


The British captured last night the
village of Villaret, southeast of Hargi-
court, according to the official statement
to-day. They also made progress north
west of Lens, and large captures of guns
and war material were made by the Brit
ish at Lieven and on the Souehez river
in the Lens region. The cannon taken
include one six-inch naval gun of long
range. Truck loads of new tools, many
thousand rounds OF ammunition and
quantities of bombs, granades and en-
gineering equipment also were captured.
The report last night that the British
had actually entered Lens was evident
ly premature, but the civilian population
evacuated the town on Friday and great
fires are burning, showing that the Ger
mans are destroying their stores prepar-
atory to their departure, according to a
staff correspondent OF the Associated
Press. The official statement issued last
night reads as follows;
early this morning the enemy
launched a strong attack on a front of
more than six miles astride the Bau
paume Cambria road under cover of a
heavy bombardment against our new po-
sitions from Hermies TO Noreuil The
attack was everywhere unsuccessful ex
cept at Lagnicourt where after heavy
fighting the enemy gained foothoh.
Our counter attack forthwith drove him
back out of the village and his troops
retiring under our artillery fire suffered
very heavy losses. More than 200 pris-
oners remained in our hands.
"We advanced our line slightly during
the night east of Heiney.
"North of the Souchez river our prog
ress has been continued We captured
the enemy defenses east OF LEVIN from
Riaumont wood to the eastern corner of
Cite st. Pierre and our troops are push
ing on in the direction of Lens.
"a heavy rain has been falling since
early this morning.

HAS CHANGE OF RECOVERY.
Charles vaIade Took Bichloride of Mer.
curry in Burlington.

Burlington, April l6.-Charles Valade
whose people live at Malletts Bay, and
who is believed to be New York news
paper man, took some bichorde of mer-
curry at the barber shop of the New Sher-
wood hotel late Saturday evening and
is now at the Mary Fletcher hospital
where it is believed he has a chance OF
recovery.
The whole case is shrouded in a mys-
terry which it was impossible to unravel.
The employees at the shop state that they
did not see the man take the poison but,
nevertheless, they were the ones who
summoned medical aid. They also say
that Valade made no statement as to the
motive for his act. Nothing could be
learned from his people at Malletts Bay.
The man is about "a years old.

WHO ARE THE INDIFFERENT?

Everybody is urging farmers to raise
food for the cOuntry's sake M farm
ers are trying to do it. They are
working ten or twelve eight-hour lays
every week, their women and children
are busy in gardens and poultry yards
sometimes even in fields where men
cannot be had to do mems work. And
vet some newspapers have the monuT
mental nerve to talk about the indiHer-
ence OF farmers to their country's
needs and the efficiency of farmers in.
producing a supply of Good. Wet get
hot under the collar when we req"
such stuff. Nor do big headlines in
the next column which tell about the
patriotism of labor tend to reduce u
temperature. Labor. that is organiz-
ed labor. may be patriotic. We hope
it is. also that it will show it's patriot
ism bv doing something for the coun-
try rather than by merely shouting its
LOYALTY. In the presence of the great
est shortage of labor ever known what
labor organization has volunteered to
allow it's members to work nine hours
a dav instead Of eight? What bodv 90
workmen has offered to help the coun-
try by putting in extra time In order
to produce war necessities or to release
some labor for food production? 1t
wouldn't hurt most men to work nine
hours a a during this war. In a c
few ~hysica1 constitutions would
completely undermined if their own
ers volunteered to work ten hours a
dav while the wal lasts. Has anybod"
noticed the papers-the papers VIII
so freely advise and criticise farmers
making any suggestions as these to the
labor organizations? No. The sacred
eight-hour day still stands and must
stand regardless of the countrys
needs, while the farmer works long
hours in order to feed it's devot"
Even some of the city boys who have
gone to work on farms insist on the
8-hour day, so thoroughly have they
been trained to. regard that as a natur-
al right. We leave it to the public to
saw who are the inefficient or the in
different or the s1ackers-those who
work long hours in the fields or those
who insist on eight hours elsewhere.
At any rate let us. hear no more about
the Indifference of farmers while such
conditions exist.-National Stockman

Every druggist in town-youn
druggist and eyerybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling-of in the
sale Of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place. =
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bottle
costs SO cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money
back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults
Take a spoonful at night and wake

POStmaSters to Encourage Use of High

Washington. Jsne 2 1917.
AS a measure of economy postmas-
tiers and post office employees are di-
rected to encourage the public to use
stamps of the highest denominations
suited to- the amount of pOstage r"
quired on al mail. For example, a z
cent stamp instead of two 1-cent
stamps should be affixed to letters
needing two cent POSTAGE; and a 10
cent stamp instead of. five 2-cent shO"'[
be attached to parcels requiring ten
cents hostage. Cooperation betwo"-
post office employees and the nublic
in the sale and use of stamps of the
larger denominations will effect a
large saving to the government in the
cost of producing, transporting. and
~canceIing them. and will benefit the
public in minimizing the number o.
stamps handled and affixed to mail
This benefit will be especially imDort-
ant to business concerns mailing larg'

MOVE THE SkELET IONS.

No farmer would let the skeleton of
a hog or COW lie around the house. and
yeC N travelling over the South it is
amazing to see how many other often"
sive looking skeletons" are left lying
around. There are Skeletons of jead
buggies, wagons, pi0"s wheelbarrows.
farm buildings, etc. Just as soon as
any fam machine. vehicle or building
is dehiteIy dead q is tn say if it 6 0
broken up that it is not going to be
alive and in actual use again-ev9ry
farmer should be quick to move the
skeleton somewhere out of sight.
Yet it is too often the case that the
helplessly crippled old buggy is left in
sight till it rots; the broken mowinP
machine is conspicuously in evidence
until it rusts to pieces; a last years
hogpen is left just as it was when the
opening was made to take the hogs
out. while even a wind-wrecked barn
or smokehouse may be left to disfigure
the landscape and dishearten all be-
holders for an indefinite period. .
Mend or end it" should be every
farmers motto in all such cases. If
the wrecked thing can be mended. do
so quickly; if it can't then save the
useful pieces. storing in some suitable
place, and destroy the worthless parts.
The first rainy day let's look around
and see what Skeletons are in evil
dence on our farms and make way with
them. To have them lying around is
taken by the p~asser-by to be an adyer-
taken by the p~asser-by to be an adver-
tisement of shiftlessness. 1t will
make. us all feel better to get rid OF
them Farmer

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati authority tells how to dry
up a corn or caIIus 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 directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops sore
ness 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 callus. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not to
irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. 1t is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time.
