Old Forge, N, Y, Aug. 27-The
state of Vermont is going to send
one Of the men connected with the
Fish and Game Commission Ct that
State INTO this sect ON to take some
beaver alive to be used for propaga
ton purposes in that state. II is ex
pected that County Warden Edwin d..
Moore Of Bennington win nave charge
OF the work There has been drive
under way for several years through
out the state OF Vermont to get some
beaver located in the state. but 1t
has met IN little success. There
has been drastic protection on the
animals in that state. the penalty be
ing larger than in New York state.
1t Is unknown just how many will
be taken from this state to be trans
ported, but It is expected there will
lie several pair There wi be
enough taken TO give the state good
start II they propagate as fast as
they have in this section. 1t was only
a few years ago when there were very
few beaver in the state and now one
can hardly come to a stream in the
woods without finding evidence Of
their work. The Conservation Com.
miss on of this state will have a rep.
resentatiye on the ground to give as
sistance to the men who are after the
beaver, and 1t is expected that George
Perry. probably one Of the best woods
men in the state. wi ! have the chance
to demonstrate his new way OF catch
ing them without the aid Of a trap.

TOWN FARM cuEsrs DlNeD
Entertained at North Bennington by
Mrs. McGinnls.

There has been much talk this
summer about bettering the condition
Of our friends at the town farm.
A very practical effort In tn IS drec-
tion was made by Mrs. Timothy Nc

vited all the inmates, who were able.
to spend an afternoon at her home.
Four accepted the invitation.
II was an afternoon Of pure delight
to every guest; time when they had
but TO express wish to have It graft
fed. r
A bountlful supper consisting OF
things not included in the every day
bill of fare. was served at five o'clock.
The guests ate to the limit and then,
that nothing might n wasted, they
carefully packed up the remains Of
the feast and took them home with
them.
Soon after supper they were taken
home Mrs. Marie c, White and Miss
Marion White furnishing the cars to
bring the guests over and back.
When one stops to think that this
was the first time In tweve months
that three of these women had been
away from the monotony of the insti.

the afternoon meant to them not mere.
