a Manchester, n. H., man has been
catching bass of generous size with a
hook baited with an ordinary cucumber
pickle and believes it to be the bait of
bats for bass. Another New Hampshire
man explains the lure of the pickle,
which he claims the bass does not strike
for because it is fond of pickles, but be-
cause of its color as it twirls through
the water on "spooner', it resembles Il
small frog, therefore the fish is fooled
and hooked. However, if pickles do the
trick it will be an easy matter for the
bass fisherman to fill his bait-box.

cancies which the selectmen are now au-
thorized by law to fill. The care of
parks and Fairgrounds, the sprinkling

and the maintenance of the sewerage
system also devolve on him. Finally, he
controls the issue of licenses and has
authority to examine all departments.
This is the character of the work
which the municipal manager is called
upon to do. 1t is not an easy matter
to find the individual who is qualified
TO perform such exacting and varied
services, but he can usually be located
by careful search and attracted by a
salary which is commensurate with the
responsibility of the position. Needless
to say, man not qualified would be
worse than none. Before deciding to
adopt this form of government the cleo
torate of municipality should study the
budget come to some conclusion as to
how much money can be saved by plac.

hands of an expert, and then, if the
evidence warrants, courageously take
the step. Springfield has demonstrated
to Vermont that the municipal manager
form of government is not fad.

Department Got II
Calls In Month

Statistics at the fire station
show during the month of Novem-
Der the department received eleven
calls. Ten of these were chimney
fires and the other one an alcohol
blaze. At the eleven calls there
were 262 II gallons Ct chemical
used.
The month of November showed
the largest number of calls for any
one month during the year, with
the exception of the month of
May which shows slight balance
over this. That the fires have not
reached more serious nature is
due largely to the alacrity with
which the department has re-
sponded to calls.

after his address.
or the great number OF letters COM
menting upon the speech. Secretary
Weeks said that a large proportion were
written by women. AS It always had
been assumed that women favored pro-
hibition the Secretary was surprised that
the majority OF the feminine correspond
ents. commenting on the interview. had
expressed approval OF his position. He
interpreted this as indicating one of two
things. Either that the claim Of the
solid support of the women Of the coun-
try made by the dry brigade was a
phantom or else that the reaction to the
extreme to which prohibition has been
carried and conditions attendant on Ito
enforcement Is turning sympathy the
other way.
The letters, Mr.. Weeks added. were, as
a whole. we'll written. and reflected not
only an understanding Of the prohibition
question In its many phases. but showed
more than an ordinary degree OF INTEL
ligence.
Secretary Weeks ended with the pre-
diction that the completed poll would
show the rural districts favoring pro-
hibition while the urban and other
thickly populated areas, in all probabii-
ity. would Indicate desire for the modi-
fication Of the volstead act. II not Tor
