Hunters Using Airplane Arrested.

The first arrest made under the Mi
gratory Bird Treaty Act for hunting
Mild fowl from an airplanc was made
in Missouri recently when the long
arm OF the law reached into the air
and seized two men lur hunting and
killing wild geese from an air craft.
The arrest was made by warden OF
the Biological Survey, United States
Department OF Agriculture, which ad-
ministers the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act. following their arrest the hun;
.rs made the trip to the office OF the
United States commissioner at Car
uthcrsvillc, Mo-, in their plane. They
had previously boasted, OF their apll-
ity, while flying, to herd the geese
more effectively than sportsmcn on
the ground can possibly do. Hunting
OF the sort in which they engaged is
specifically forbidden by the Federal
law and the regulations Hereunder
Several State, have passed laws for
bidding hunting from airplancs,
among them being California. Michi-
gan. New Jersey, North Carolina, and
south Carolina. There is consider
able sentiment in sporting circles
against the practice on tie ground
thwt it is unsportsmanikc.

ing structures, neither Of which meets
the needs of the town. and other towns
are seeking to increase or extend their
hotel facilities.
Two lessons seem obvious from the
situation: First that towns which have
hotels should give some heed to their
fire protection; second, that in building
new hotels attention should be given
to adequacy for present and future
needs and to freproof or slow burning
construction.
With good weather and reasonable
progress in road improvement, Vermont
has right TO expect big summers
business from tourists and vacationists.
The chances are that existing hotel ae-
commodations will be taxed TO the ut
most. The loss of those at Chester,
Niddletown Springs and Bellows Falls
may rot affect the general situation,
but the state is three more hotels
short" as a result, and the chances of
rebuilding remote.
Barre business men met the local ho-
tel situation by organizing a company
which owns and operates one Of the
best hostelries i'm the state. Ludlow
evidently contemplates a similar enter.
prise, and other towns in Vermont
might profit by such examples.
Vermont Is certain to need more no.
tells, not less, this summer. The ques-
ton Is how TO get them.-Rutland Her

UNITING VERMONT TOWNS.

There is much to be said in favor Of
consolidation of towns in Vermont IN
order to merge decaying towns with
their more prosperous neighbors, but
the towns to which the decaying towns
are to be attached are not saying 1t.
In fact, the towns which might be ex-
pected to take over the well-nigh de-
funct towns acreage, population, bur-
den of support and what not--may be
expected to advance a strong protest
against being saddled with such load.
There is much to be said on the side Of
the fairly prosperous towns which
might be asked to drag along their
sluggish neighbors. Then, too, ii it
were proposed to unite two or three
towns which had not shown themselves
able to keep going alone it would not
be expected that in a united condition
they could much better. In few in
stances town consolidation might be
carried out without great hardship but
a general scheme of consolidation
should be scrutinized very closely be-
fore any attempt to put it in operation
IS tried 1t would seem to be a wiser
plan to have territory revert to the |
state whenever a town is ready TO 90 !
out of existence; and in that case the
burden Of caring for the territory
would be divided among all the towns

The shutting down Of many branches

the tendency to disabuse the minds Of

value in the protection of property

VIII drawn. Tomorrow you may not
think Of it. See your lawyer to-day,
and have YOUR win drawn.
