THE FIRE RECORD.

Fire losses in the United States and
Canada for the first three months of
this year were $7S477,235. This is a
considerably better showing than was
made by the first three months of last
year or the first three months of the
year before that, although the January
fires this year were appallingly large.
The New York Journal of Commerce,
which keeps careful record of the
fires. says the year so far has been
very costly for the fire insurance com
panies; SO much so. in fact that even
with normal losses for the balance of
1918 it viii stand ont as a bad wear.
In making this statement the Jour
nal o. Commerce has probably taken
into account the higher prices at which
insurable property is now valued. II
fire losses have been mounting upward
during the past two years, so have val
ucs and premiums. The destruction OF
thc same amount of property TIVE
years ago would have meant much les.
in dollars than it would mean now, anC
the amount of insurance carried on i
would be larger now and in conse
quenee, the premium receipts of tn
companies would be larger. These ar
considerations that must be taken int
account in insurance losses.

Pleasure touring is expected to be
ut its lowest ebb the coming summer
Foreign travel, for any but imperative
reasons, has ceased and domestic
travel is destined to suffer a great
relapse. The familiar slogan, See
America first has lost much of the
power it had the first year or two of
the war. Those who really want to see
America will find unusual obstacles in
their way With the United States
making war its paramount business and
mastering all its resources to win, ma
tional policy forbids undue encourage
ment of travel. The railroad admins
tration doubtless had this purpose il
mind when it placed the ban on the
familiar travel folder, with its allur
ing pictures and fascinating descrip
tive appeals. Our railroads are need
ed for the transportation of food, fue
and war materials. and cannot allow
tourist traffic to interfere. Vacation
travel cannot be stopped entirely, ant
probably should not be. We must res
and play now and then, war or no war
But we cannot expect to travel as usual
And as the serious nature of the wa
settles down upon us, little by little
we do not want to. We are reconeilet
to staying at home and working, wit
a view to pleasure-touring in happie
times.

women but doing nothing in the way
OF actually suppressing dogs accused
of deer running We rather doubt the
accuracy of the picture.
Mr. Severance needs to be told some
plain facts about the law on deer and
dogs:
| l. \ man who permits his dog to
chase deer is liable to a fine of 500,
as the warden said
! .. A dog that does damage or is
vicious is not entitled to license and
may be killed after proper hearing;
B. A vicious dog can be condemned
and killed on complaint of three cit
izers;
4. The owners Of sheep destroyed
by dogs may proceed against the own
ers OF the dogs and recover twice the
damages and twice the COSTS
OF course the answer will be that
Shep' was perfectly good dog, as
also were the other CANNES in Rock
iugham complained of by the warden.
The Herald 5 only regret is that the
law does not permit a warden to shoot
deer-killing or sheep-killing dogs on
sight.
In this connection, Mr.. Severance 5

The allies showed that they had
learned one of the great lessons of the
war when they agreed to fight under
a single command. That America was
sincere in her advocacy Of the plan
was shown by sending American troops
into the fighting, brigaded with Brit
ish and French troops. In other words
they were sent to win battles, regard
less of any renown that might come

The War on Dogs.

thHlldllu I1cIdlu
f. II. Metcalf of Brattleboro, fish
and game warden of Windham county
has earned the unofficial title of "Dog
Catcher according to a letter in the
Bellows Falls Times from j. W. Sew
erancc of rockingham.
Here is how Severance tells one
part of the story:
He took a shot at a shepherd dog
belonging to F. f. Gammell, who lives
near Rockingham station, did not hit
dog, but followed it TO the team of
the owner whose hired man was gath
ering sap in the vicinity, borrowed q
rope from the sled, connected the rope
to said dog and with gun at "snoul-
der arms proceeded to interview Mr..
Gammel. He informed Mr.. Gammell
that his usual procedure in such a case
was to fine the owner of the dog 500
or kill the dog Being short of cash
! Gammell refused to settle, but told
tle DOG Catcher to kill the dog, If
he had right, but if he did he must
bury him. Being averse to manual
labor he decided to postpone the kill
ing but ordered the dog tied up.
The diction reveals the typical at
titude of the dog defender, who sees
nothing but malice and rascality IN tn,
man who may be pursuing his duty ant
enforcing the law if the proceeding
happens to involve his dog. Not only
does this type Of citizen insist on tn,

A Patriotic Pig Tale.

This little pig went to market,
And Travelled from store to store,
Puying all the white sugar
Till the grocers had no more.
This little pig stayed at home
And wished that Hoover were dead
While he gorged himself on wheatless
days
With dainties and whole wheat bread
This little pig had none,
But a glutton nevertheless;
For he boarded his gold from the L. S
A.
While he grunted his wall of distress
This little pig said ''Wee, Wee, Wee,
Send some other boy to Franco;
The Germans might aim their guns to
ward me,
And l don t want to give them the
chance
Our food administrators
Urge farmers to raise more swine;
But God protect our country
From more of the human kind.

Adding to the Food Products.

When the Vermont maple sugar MAX
er produces two pounds to the tree he
considers himself well repaid for the
labor and expense of the annual sugar
in When he goes beyond that mark
he considers himself extremely fortu-
nate. Reports coming III from various
parts Of the state Indicate than many
producers have already reached the
two-pound mark and are now ready for
another considerable run of sap Follow
ing the recent storm and cold snap
Therefore, the sugarin season of 1918
Which seemed to be full of promise at
the outset and which then took a
slump bids fair to redeem itself. 1t is
practically assured that Vermont is 90
ing to produce at least a normal crop
Of maple sugar and syrup, and posi-
bly, the yield will 90 above the average
1oT the last decade. In view of the
conditions of food products throughout
the world at the present time, this
good yield is especially pleasing, not
that the entire output of Vermont will
! have any appreciable effect on the
but because it will serve to tighten
somewhat the food problem in this
particular region of the country and
because it will bring into position for
consumption product which might
have gone to waste under less salts
