The Massachusetts food administra-
tion has been conducting an invcstiga-
tion of the prices Of fish and has
reached the conclusion that higher
prices are not justified from the stand
point Of the fishermen, the wholesalers
or the jobbers. 1t further declares that
''retail prices are too high as indicated
by the prices at which the retailer
buys and subsequently sells. = General
conditions are such that fish prices
should be lower rather than higher than
year ago owing to the increased catch

the country is being called upon to re-

incidentally it may be said that if FISH
prices in Massachusetts ought to he
lower there is no good reason why they
should not be lower in Vermont.

After they had gathered all the
chestnuts they could carry, and after
the little squirrels had eaten and eaten,
they all climbed into the wagon filled
with straw and went for a glorious
moonlight ride. They sang songs and
turned somersaults in the straw, and
every little while Mr.. Giant would blow
his bugle and recite a poem Witty

old Mr.. Moon had started TO go to bed
