GAME WARDENS ALERT.
Looking for Cheap Sportsmen Who
Break the Deer Law.

Although few deer could be killed
last fall when there was little snow, 1t
IS an easy matter now and the game
Wardens over the state are on the alert
to get some of the breed Of sportsmen
who kill deer when they are powerless
to move on account of the snow. vt least
one special deputy has been appointed
to look after this department alone and
case in Bolton is now under investiga-
ton.
The snow is very deep in the woods
and for that reason there is a lot Of
yarding by the deer. That is, they
go in herds to section of hard woods
where there is 4 quantity Of evergreen.
They feed on the underbrush of the
hard wood and while the big trees give
them shelter, the evergTeens protect
them from the wind and sight Of any
one. Here they trample down a large
area as hard as a floor and remain dur
| ing the winter.
| Such herd was in Bolton and one
deer was killed while two others Were
wounded by some one who fired into the
, herd which was at his mercy. This is
the case under investigation.
! Last fall the shooting was poor be-
cause a deer could hear a hunter for q
long distance. There was no snow tC
deaden the sound and the deer left ne
tracks For that reason there are al
exceptionally large number of deer in
the woods this winter.

ACTS TO CURB EGG PRICES.
Feed Administration Takes Steps for

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9-The food ad
has called upon committees
representing 30 big shipping and dis

for stabilizing the prices OF fresh and
stored eggs and poultry. These viii be
put into effect on a voluntary basis. If ac-
ceptable to the food administration. Ii
an agreement is not reached, the federal
authorities viii take other steps to guard
against profteering
Chief among the reforms desired by
the food administration it was stated
in an announcement are the elimination
Of unnecessary handling and the abolition
OF speculation, both of which will have i
direct effect upon prices \ sharp differ
entation viii probably be made between
the distribution of fresh and cold storage
eggs. The cold storage product repre-
sents what may be considered as prac-
tically a non-perishable product and the
food administration wishes its sale to be
governed along the same general lines
followed in the sale Of other non-per-
lshables-price to be based upon purchase
price, without consideration OF replace
ment value. Each sale should be-regard-
ed as separate transaction, to be gov
erned by a regulation prohibiting more
than normal profit ON the individual
transaction
Fresh eggs and poultry are regarded
as belonging IN an entirely different cate.
cory, and the profits may be gagged on
the seasonal business rather than on sep
arate transactions

PERSHING WATCHED
BY HINDENBURG
Large Number of German Reserves Are
Massed at Metz and South
ern Alsace.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The German
general staff is completely confused over
America S campaign plans III France.
Won Hindenburg is revealing the fact
that he doesn t know where Gen. Per-
shing is going to strike, by concentrate
ing German reserves both near Metz
and in southern Alsace, near the Swiss
borde.
Reports of large masses Of German
soldiers arriving at these centers have
become too persistent to be ignored.
Metz and southern Alsace are about $50
miles apart by rail. The Germans
never divide their troops by so large \
distance as this. unless there is the
most imperative reason for it. Separ1-
ton of reserves against a resolute en-
envy is always a dangerous policy.
The only reason why Won linden
burg has divided his forces is because
his espionage system has been unable
to ferret out the designs of the Ameri-
can chief command Gen. Pershing has
got Won Hindenburg guessing, and that
is always the first score in the game.
If IIindenburg were contemplating q
major offensive at this time against the
Americans, he would under no circum-
! stances separate his reserve of man
power into independent units. Instead
| of separation he would concentrate at
| a given sector, and would launch his
/ blow with all the force at his command
| The division of the German reserves
| between Metz and southern Alsaae
| therefore, suggests not only that Hin
! denburg has been puzzled by Pershing z
! preliminary strategy but also that the
| German general staff is content for III,
present to rest on the defensive against
the fast growing American strength
along the Asace-Lorraine border
Further uneasiness in German mill
tary circles over the various possibih
ties in the coming American offensiye
is shown by reports that Hindenbur.
and Ludendortf are now making thai
headquarters along the Rhine. Thi
undoubtedly means that Germany i
going to take no chances by using see
ond rate commanders against the Anne,
leans. The two military directors O
