MY dear Governor:
hereby tender my resignation as
state fish and game commissioner.
This step is taken not without long and
careful deliberation, nor without many
serious regrets.
| have been highly honored by Yer
mont in being permitted TO serve the
state for so many years. The growth
of the department of fish and game
since 1890 has been 4 normal one and
has kept pace with similar develop
mcuts in other progressive states which
are favored with natural resources at
all comparable with those Of Vermont.
Conservation Of wild life is no long
or a fad, but has come to be regarded
as Of great economic Importance. As a
result there has been created a de-
mand for technically trained men not
only in matters of game conservation,
. but especially with reference to the
, cultivation of all waters for the pro
/ duction of the maximum number of fish
! ~ minimum cost.
/ cannot emphasize too strongly the
/ Importance of promptly securing 4
man familiar with the technique of fish
7. culture in the branches calling for the
application of such knowledge in this
state.
N / assure YOU that my interest in Yer
mont will not wanc, and you have my
hearty cooperation in your efforts t.
give Vermont a good business admins
tratieu. which efforts have started of
under most favorable auspices.
Very respectfully.

to whether the Red Cross will assist in taking care of dependent families of soldiers and sailors called into ser vice in this war. Henry P Davidson, chairman on behalf of the Red Cross War Council, authorizes the following:
 Obviously the task of providing for the financial assistance of the fami- lies of our soldiers and sailors is so large that the government alone can assume it. In no other way can the burden be discharged fairly and as a matter of right rather than charity. No volunteer organization, or organi- zations, could adequately cope with duty of such magnitude.
 The American people will not, of course, permit families to suffer want because their bread-winners are fight ing for their country. Cases will un- doubtedly arise wherein the allowance of the government will not be ade- quate to protect family from fnan- cial distress. Such instances the Red Cross will hope to provide for through its chapters.
 The Red Cross Chapters can and will provide also the friendly services which may be needed and acceptable because of i'll health or other mis- fortune or because of family condi- tions, which, if neglected, would re suit in need and suffering or disaster to the home.
 That this work may be done with thoroughness and uniformity, the Red Cross has published "The Manual of Home Service" for the guidance of quire thousands of congresses and chapters. This Civilian Relief work in under the direction of W. Frank Persons, Director General of Civilian Relief.

During the past week, G. R. Frank lin, president and manager of the Ar izona Engineering Company, purchas- ed the interest in that corporation of the only stockholder besides himself.
 The Arizona Engineering Company started business April l, 1914, with the following stockholders and officers: E. F. Thompson, president, J. E. White, vice-president, R. P. Wheelock, secretary and G. R. Franklin, treas urer.
 At the beginning, conditions were now considered ideal for the new firm but the policy of one price to all, legit- innate profits good goods and square dealing won for the company a repu- tation second to none in the county and the business haas grown accord ingly.
 Mr. Franklin was made manager of the company at the beginning and he has made a host of friends in the county, always showing a willingness to hear any grievance and give re- dress. He says he would rather suf- fer a loss than lose a friend and GUS tomer".
 During the three years of business, Mr. Franklin has purchased the in terest of his three partners and today owns and controls what is considered one of the biggest and best concerns in northern Arizona.

WASHINGTON-At the request of William c. Braisted, Surgeon General of the United States Navy, the Amer ican Red Cross has called upon ten of the chapter nearest New York to sup ply at the earliest possible moment surgical dressings for each of the 1SS battleships and destroyers. Each ship will require thousands of congresses and bandages, the entire consignment making a total of more than six hun dred thousand surgical dressings.
 The surgical dressings are to be prepared by the women workers in the Red Cross Chapters at Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, At lanta, Boston and the Northeastern Division, these chapters being chosen because their proximity to New York will expedite delivery. It is expected to fill the order within the next ten days.
 Women qualified in the various chapters to make surgical dressings are working night and day for the rapid completion of the work. Only women who have taken the Red Cross course in the making of these band ages are 'eligible to engage in the work.
 With the declaration of war there has been a rapid increase in the mum Der of women taking the Red Cross surgical dressing courses. In June, 4,144 certificates were issued to wo- men who had taken the course of eight lessons of three hours each, and in the first ten days of July, 1279 certificates were issued.
 Each chapter will supply the bat tleship named after that particular state and others in which they might have a geographical interest. Thus the Chicago chapter will supply the Chicago and the Illinois. New York will supply the New York and the Albany. These boxes as completed will be shipped by chapters direct to the Bush terminal at New York for distribution to the ships.
