missioner Titcomb says of the Vernon
plant: During the summer of 1916
fry have been reared to fngerhngS at
this station and distributed 10 apph-
eants in that part of the state. 1t IS
felt, however, that further experiment.
al work should be conducted and plans
are under way for the construction OF

which to distribute the water 70 the
rearing troughs. The result of the test

is one which may be advantageously
operated as a permanent rearing sta

which such station will require. As
all trains stop at East Mortified it is
a very convenient shipping point when
considering such regions as the West
river valley ard the applicants along
the line of the Hoosac Tunnel & Will

Referring to the fish and game laws
Commissioner Titcomb says: -Four
years experience have proven that the
present permissive form is more etfcc-
tive than the older prohibitive form.
Niolators are unable to escape on tech
nicalities. People have become accus-
toned to the present form, and no
mortal man can make prohibitive
form which will entirely Illustrate
the ingenious devices of the poacher.
In the revision of the present chapter
is it not better to retain the form with
which people have become familiar
And is it not better to have the form
of laws which have proved most efrec-
tive rather than the form dictated By
a few lawyers?'
among other things that the reciprocal
fishing license law, which was repealed
! in 1918, be recnacted; that the com
missioner be empowered to establish

ous shooting occurred here YESTERDAY
which cost the life of Franklin Carpen-
ter. Is. son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles W.
CARPENTER. The boy ate his dinner with
the family and then Went to the rear
of the house to shovel snow. When his
mother went to call him for school She
saw her son standing in the snow with q
rifle pressed against his right side and
cried out in alarm. She rushed out
Of doors, but before she reached the
bov he had fallen. He spoke but once
after she reached his side, pronouncing
the single word help Mrs. Carpen-
ter heard no report and is not certain
whether the shot was fired before she
saw him from the window or after.
A physician was summoned, but the
bow was dead when he arrived. The
bullet had passed through his liver
and the doctor stated that death was
probably almost instantaneous.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carpenter are mysti-
fed over the shooting. They did not
know the boy had any worries and
it was stated at st. Johnsburv, where
he was a student, that he had had no
trouble at school. His parents did not
know he had rifle in his possession, he
having borrowed it from neighbor s
son. They are inclined to believe the
shooting was accidental.

Congregational church. was a Boy Scout
and member of the choir of the church
/ Besides his parents he leaves a sister
Gladys, also student at st. j ohnsburv
