TO REsTocK STREAMS
Small Streams In Windham County
to Be Closed.

to Be Closed.
Brattleboro, March 2s.-The state
fish and game depa tment is planning
TO stock as many trout streams in
Windham county as possible by
means of natural reproduction in
small meadow brooks and to this
end, County Fish and Game Warden
f. H. Metcalf of this place said Fri
day that he was ready to enter into
agreements with owners of land up
on which such streams originate. BY
the terms of the agreement all or part
CT certain tributary streams will be
closed to all fishing for a term of
years and protected by agents of the
fish and game department.
Only brooks so small that few, If
any, legal length trout would be
found in them during the open sea
son, will be closed, giving the small
fish in these tributaries the full yea-
in which to develop. AS they grow
they win naturally seek deeper water
thus automatically stocking the
larger streams. The department is
not planning to let this method take
the place of artificial stocking as both
methods will be employed 1t is be
lieved that all the fishermen in this
Locality will cooperate with the de-
partment.

Luminous D.als Popular.

The radium watch industry which
has grown in few years to such
large proportions began with the pro-
duction of one watch in 1908 by the
scientist Dr. George f. Kunz. Dur
ing 190S-10 a few hundred such
watches were imported and sold I'M
der patents owned by a large Ameri-
can radium company. From 1910 until
the present time the industry has
grown steadily. In 1915 about $500
radium watches ana clocks We're sold
in the United States, and by 1915
there was more than n five fold in
crease in this number. From these
small beginnings the use of radio
luminous compound has grown into an
Industry with an output which in 1919
approXimated 100000 American high
grade and cheap Waicnes and clocks
and upward Of 100000 imported time
pieces

Such Endurance as You
Want in Your Car

These decisive tests proved Essex not
only the supreme performer of the light car
field. but they showed that the moderate pric
ed economical Essex has such endurance and
dependability as few large, high priced cars
offer.
Greater size could add nothing to Essex.
It has the qualities, weight and size are built
to give-riding comfort, solidness, distinct
ion and smooth, quiet pace. But in addition
it has fuel, oil and tire economy. And its
great durability means freedom from repair
costs and positive, dependable transportation.

Essex Wins On Quality
Nuns Useless Weight

Essex won recognition on the issue of
finest quality without useless weight and
size That issue is uppermost today
You will take pride in your Essex from
the first. It's beauty, luxurious fittings
and its performance give it distinction every
where. And time will increase your respect
for it. You will come to rely absolutely on
it's dependability You will find i. always
ready for any demands you may make.
These are reasons why Essex set a
worlds sales record in its first year. And
orders are now so far ahead it is certain
even that unrivaled mark will be surpassed
this year.
Thousands, realizing this, are placing
their orders now. We advise that you do
the same, to avoid disappointment.
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1920-03-30

The most important thing Essex has
proved is that weight and size are no
longer necessary to finest car quality.
It's 3037 miles in so hours is world en-
durance record. The test was official. Sup
ervisors of the A. A. A. certified the Essex
stock chassis in every detail.
Never before was car driven at top
speed for so hours. The grind was equal to
years of road use. Yet the Essex showed no
measurable wear.
What car, the Essex size and weight can
even attain a mile-a-minute speed, much less
keep it up for SO hours?
