Is DAYS is THE LIMIT
IN NUTMEG STATE

The state motor department has
received notice from the motor depart
men Of Connecticut that all foreign
motor cars must register in that state
where they stay longer than Is days.
This law was recently enacted by the
Legislature OF that state and comes as
the result Of 4 census taken on all
roads at the state boundaries Of in
coming and out going cars. II is
aimed particularly at the large trucks
which are registered in adjoining
states, pass through Connecticut be-
tween Boston and other New England
points to New York. The truck prob
lem as affecting the highways be-
comes great question. For several
weeks all motor cars were held up at
the state boundaries while the drivers
were required to answer questions
about their cars. The registration
numbers Of the cars were taken as
well as other information about
weight, size Of tires and the like.

movement started, that today a man
would come here to tell us Of a Ma
tional Farm Bureau movement that

not have believed me. ! am especially
glad to see that the work is develop
ing on lines Of cooperative market
ing. Your creamery at Manchester
will do much for the County" Mr.

increase the scope Of the work and
made a very magnificent offer toward
the establishment Of farm 10 be

TELEPHONE SAVING
TO THE FARMER

Few people appreciate the actual
money saving TO them made possible
by their telephone. An investigation
Of the subject recently, took farmers
as an example. In order TO determine
the saving TO the farmer the very low
figure Of hve cents per mile was al
lowed for his time and cost OF trans
portation we're he TO attempt to do the
same work as his telephone.
The figures were based on 30 days
use Of the telephone. Subscriber No.
1, farming 160 acres, had 39 business
calls in the month which would have
consumed travelling 1853 miles had he
been forced TO make the trips in per-
son. This ,at cents a mile, amounted
to $7.65. Subscriber No. 2, farming
800 acres, had 20 business calls, which
would have totaled ZIG miles, and COM
puted the same way, his cost would
have been s10.S0. Subscriber No. 3,
farming 906 acres, had 81 business
calls, the mileage Of which would have
totaled 444 miles, and computed at
cents mile would have amounted 10
s222O.
In each case actual experiences OF
three farmers were taken.

dollar gold piece, q shotgun and two
flashlights.
Following the discovery Of the break
the officers Of Bennington and Rut-
land counties and the detective depart
ment Of the Rutland Railroad insti-
tuted a countrywide search but failed
TO locate the suspects. On Tuesday Of
last week they were picked up in the
town Of Shushan by a New York state
trooper because Of their suspicious
action in requesting the Shushan post
master 10 discount a ten dollar gold
piece. The trooper found revolver
in Larkley's possession, a fact that
warranted the youths arrest in New
York state. Requisitioning a passing
automobile he took the boys to the
Washington county Jail at Salem.
1t is presumed that while passing
through the village Of Salem and
while they were not being closely
watched by the officer, who then had
no knowledge Of The East Dorset
break, the boys threw the Italian cur
rency out Of the car into the street
where il was picked up by a Salem
school boy and taken to the local bank
Here it was later identified and return
ed TO the owner without the loss OF q
single lire.
After learning Of the arrests States
Attorney George A. Mathers went to
Salem where he was later Joined by
Deputy Sheriff James d. Purdy OF
Manchester. Extradition proceedings
were waived and the boys were
taken to Bennington.
Larkley is believed to be all OF 10
years old but insists that he has not
yet reached his 10th birthday ami
versary. States Attorney Mathers
however is convinced that the boy is
not telling the truth and has been in
vestigating school records in an effort
TO establish the boys age. Hearings
in the case have been delayed for this
reason.

BEAVERS RE-ISTRoDUCED
TO THIS COUNTY

SiH Specimens From Adirondack Re
leased in wcodford by Z. d. Moore.
+. ID. Moore returned 70 Bennington
lAst week Wednesday night from Old
Forge, n y, with six beaver, three
adults and three yearlings, which were
taken b. a party of Eportsmen 70
Woodford and released al Beaver
Meadow, q long swale near the top OF
the mountain and which was created
by beaver dams built by these inter-
esting animals more than a century
ago.
Hr. Moore, acting under iastrue-
tions from State Fish and Game Com
missioner II. r. Sheldon, went TO Old
Forge two weeks ago and has since
passed the larger portion OF the time
on one Of the forks Of the Moose
River. which receives the discharge
from the Fulton chain Of lakes In the
Adirondack region. Commissioner
Sheldon had secured from the head Of
the New York conservation commits
sion a permit TO take six beaver for
stocking purposes and Mr.. Moore was
authorized 10 carry out the contract.
In securing the beaver, Mr.. Moore
had the assistance Of George Perie,
an Adirondack guide, who has lived at
Old Forge for manys years and is
thoroughly acquainted with the habits
Of the animals. The success OF the
venture Is largely due 10 Mr.. Perie's
persistence and his determination to
see that the former Vermont game
warden carried out his commission.
I, was necessary TO work at night
as the beaver habitually remain out OF
sight during the day. Steel traps with
light springs that would hold but not
injure the leg were set near the bank
Of the river while the two men con-
cesled themselves in the brush that
fringed the stream. Whenever
beaver sprung one Of the traps It at
once gave notice Of It's predieament by
threshing about in the water Time
and again. however, before the would
be eaptors could put hands on their
inended prize an extra tug on the leg
would release the imprisoned foot and
the beaver with parting slap on the
water with It's broad tail. would dis
appear beneath the surface.
One night an otter found its way
into one Of the traps and was released
and mink was also caught end given
It's liberty The guide did not regret
the loss OF the mink but be bemoanod
the fact that the open season for
trapping was not on when he saw the
otter, as the fur is one OF the most
valuable now obtainable in North
America.
Beaver have become surprisingly
numerous in the Adirondack region.
Mr.. Moore was told by residents OF
Old Forge that the first stocking OF
that region was made in 1905 when
six specimens caught in the Rocky
Mountains and placed on exhibition at
the Worlds Fair in st. Louis were
brought east and released in Moose
river. Before the animals were hber-
ated two half circular incisions were
made in the broad tail near the tip.
One Of the beaver caught by Mr..
Moore and the guide is similarly
marked and as il is a large animal,
weighing more than fifty pounds II is
believed TO be one Of the original
stock.
