DEER HUNTING Is
POOR THIS YEAR
Only Half a Dozen Bucks Brought
in Thus Far
II Is Hard to Get Them In the
Noisy Woods
SIX LUCKY ONES

The woods are full of hunters and
they may be full of deer, but reports
reaching County Fish and Game Ward
en- George II, Chailee up to last night
indicated that the season which began
last Saturday and which will end next
Tuesday is one Of the poorest in years,
II is probable that there are over 600
men out In the Addison County woods
with their guns, but the net result of
deer reported shot is only six one deer
to every hundredth man. There doubt
less are many deer that have been shot
and not yet brought out Of the woods
but there is no possibility that the sea-
son will average anywhere near good,
One reason is that the woods are noisy.
The leaves are crisp with frost and the
most stealthy hunter cannot get over
the ground without giving warning of
hi, coming. There is little chance to
track the deer az snow is found only in
a few places in the mountains.
Those who have thus far reported
their deer are mentioned at the head Of
this column Warden Chaifee has not
seen all of the animals but understands
that few of them are of very large size. .
George Stone of East Middlebury has
brought in The best one seen around

Addison County's campaign to help

fund has been slow IN getting under
way but where canvasses have
been made there is generally a hearty
response The town of Watham was
first to raise its quota, and Nergennes
today reported $3.50 out of $500 raised.
Middeoury has thus far made a poor
er showing, but it is hoped that when
the canyassing teams get well under
way over the weekend there will be no
difficulty in raising its $1,000 The stu.
dents at the college recently gave $l2
each toward their own Y. M. C.IA. fund
and faculty members gave $50 each The

averaging far below this. Acqualnt
yourself with what the Y. M. c. A. is

you will feel ashamed if you don't give

Short Ballot Needed.

at appears that a strong movement
will develop in the legislature for the
application of the commission form of
government to counties" says the
TOppenish Review. Three commits
sioners and one financial agent are
all the officers that the voters should
be called upon to elect to county posi-
lions. All of them should be we'll paid
and public interest should be centered
in getting the best available men to
become candidates. The same prin-
ciple might profitably be extended to
the state government. Under existing
conditions both state and county

to bewilder the voter and to hinder
rather than aid him in the discharge
of his duties as a citizen. The short
ballot cannot come too quickly"

You may walk through the muddy

The Presidents Peace Speech

1t is safe to say that no message
or address by the President of the
United States has so stirred the think
ing world as the peace speech, deliv-
cred by President Wilson before the
senate on Monday last.
In proposing Monroe doctine for
the peoples of the world" he urged a
league of nations to maintain peace in
which this nation would join, and
adroitly argued that we would not be
entering into entangling alliance, for,
there is no entangling alliance in a
concert of power" 1t was a bold ut
terance in it's assumption that peace,
if it be lasting, must come without VIC
tory, considering the reply of both
belligerents to his former peace pro.
posals, and possibly irritated both, but
should not, in view of the un-
answerable logic of those paragraphs
referring to this countrys interest in
settlement that will create a peace
worth guaranteeing and preserving.
While there have been some adverse
criticisms of the speech, on the whole,
the president has been credited with
the presentation of a document that
will occupy high place in history,
and which enunciated the broad prin-
ciples of liberty and justice upon which
alone durable peace is possible.
Speaking editorially ON the subject,
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer said:
"Cynics will call this a dream
pessimists may term him a prophet OF
the Millennium, and partizan opponents
discover in his hopeful philosophy a
swerving from our traditional course
and treading upon dangerous ground
But distant though the realization be
he gives the world something to think
about and spreads a message that is
creditable to America

Redistricting the Legislature.

House bill No. 6S, introduced by
Representative Fuller, proposes to re-
duce the House to &C members and the
state senate to 40 members, worthy
reduction, but the manner in which
this bill divides Grays Harbor county
into three representative districts
makes it look like thoughtless gerry
mander.
To the present territory covered by
the Hoquiam district is added Cosmop-
oils and Coats Landing precinct. Alb
erdeen is made a district and the re-
mainder of the county comprises the
third district. Under this arrange
ment, Coats Landing precinct would
be in the Hoquiam district, and the
adjoining precinct of Wishkah would
be in the Montesano district.
A casual study of the population,
based upon the vote cast for presi-
dent in November last, shows no oc-
casion for destroying the continuity
of the districts in this manner. The
Hoquiam district could as we'll remain
as it is, and district formed with
Aberdeen, Cosmopolis and the Wish
kah valley precincts, the third dis
trict to embrace the balance of the
county. This division would give the
following voters to each district, as
cast in November: Aberdeen, Co.'S
mopolis, Coats Landing and Wishkah,
1925; Hoquiam district, 3,643, and the
east end district, 4,O75, which is prob
ably as equal as it can be made and
preserve the convenience and common
interests of each district

Reduce the Legislature.

Washington needs legislative reap
portionment, but not the kind pro-
posed by Representative Fuller's bill.
Mr.. Fuller proposes further enlarge
ment of the senate and the house. He
would intensity the existing evil of
an over-bulky and unwieldy legisla-
ture, when the real reform ought to
be vigorous pruning down.
The house has now a membership
Of 81 and the senate 40. The two
bodies should be rolled into one and
the membership of the new single
chamber should not exceed 25.
The constitution would have to be
amended to change to single cham
Der, but the membership of both ex-
listing chambers could be cut down
now by nearly one-half without
amendment, and will be if the legis-
1ators now gathered at Olympia have
correct understanding of the states
needs and the best way to attain
them.
The constitution requires a house
of not fewer than GO members, and a
senate of at least 81 senator's. Leg
islative reapportionment should be
worked out on that minimum basis.

A Word to the Business Girl

Comparatively few out Of all the
hordes of girls working for their living
know the value Of a silent tongue. AL
most all girls talk too much, and they
are just the same in business as in so
ciety. The silent woman Is one Of the
rarest treasures on earth. But where
a really prattling tongue is often at
tractive in a girl who lives and moves
in the social world, lending animation
and vivacity, it is a menace in the
working girl-a menace to her own best
interests and q menace to her firms
secrets.
All too often her own tongue is the
workers worst enemy. 1t may be the
only thing that stands between her and
advancement. But prattling tongue
is quite enough to ruin any girls ca
rear in business. What the heads of
most big concerns require first in their
employees is efficiency and silent
tongue.
Very often a girl who Is not SO ca
pable as her fellow workers is advanc-
ed over their heads to position of
real Importance simply because her
employers can see that out Of the whole
crowd she is the only one who knows
how to hold her tongue. And no man
wants to have girl taking down his
business correspondence and overhear-
ing all the confidential interviews with
other men unless he feels confident
that she will say nothing of it outside.

Success In the Man Business,

In business it is not the individual
producer who gets the biggest or the
surest rewards. It is the organization
builder. And any man, no matter how
small his business, ought to recognize
that fact. Unless an employer Is inter
ested in finding, training, holding and
dividing with good men his business
can never grow. It will remain the
work Of one man, and the work Of one
man is certain to be limited in size and
profits. You may think that you are in
the shoe business or the shirt business
or the furniture business, but you are
mistaken. After all Is said and done,
we are all in the same business-the
man business-no matter what we
make or sell.-Pittsburgh Gazette
Times.

The Value of Thrift

To be thrifty does not mean to be
stingy. It means taking good care not
to waste or misspend what one has.
It means not wasting things, large or
small. Saving many small things
makes a great difference in what you
possess. No man is so rich that he is
warranted in being wasteful. If he
has more than enough for his own
needs there are plenty of ways in
which he may use the surplus for gen.
eral benefit.
The thrifty man does not spend with
out thought. He will never spend more
than that which is his own. The
thrifty man avoids debt. The thrifty
man has something ahead, so that
when necessity demands there is some
thing to fill the need. Thrift gives con-
tent in the present 1t does away with
many worries. 1t gives promise of
future safety. From saving comes
having.-Nlilwaukee journal.
