I'M ANY men may be expected to take an active
kN1 part in the coming union revival services
which will be held in the Fourth Street Methodist
Church. There has been live religious spirit among
the men Of the city which has never relaxed since
the Sunday campaign last winter. The mems Bible
classes have been very active and the attendance
through out the year has been remarkable
For years the men of the church have allowed
the women Of the church to do most Of the religious
personal work, but there has been marked change
noticeable in Fatrmont ever since the Lyon
campaign some years ago and the church services.
both the Sunday services and the mid week services
have had strong representation from the men Of the
congregations. fact that il so noticeable as to
cause comment from visitors who attend the
meetings
The bible classes of the various churches can be
counted on to render yeomans service during the
coming meetings and their presence and activity
will be most helpful to the ministers who will
conduct the services. One Of the largest bible
classes has conducted meetings for the past year
throughout the rural districts which have been
handled solely by laymen and which have had
wonderful religious feeling and power This bible
class has not been able to take care Of all the rural
work which has begged for its attention. The work
gives to the city congregations, men who can be
leaders in religious song in prayer and exhortation
1t gives strength to religious appeal that cannot
be exaggerated. The union services should be more
than successful with such splendid spirit back Of
them.

gulls OF Lake Champlain left for the
North earlier than usual this fall. and
observers are wondering whether this
means a long winter The gulls are
given protection on the Four Brothers
Islands where they raise their young.
and they are highly valued by the
municipality OF Burlington because Of
their usefulness as scavengers at the
outlet of the city sewer IN the lake.
The species of gull seen here is said
never to have been found farther
south than Albany, N. Y. The islands
were purchased by Edward Hatch of
New York. half century ago for the
purpose OF protecting the birds. and
the Hatch family ever since then has
maintained guards to prevent the
stealing Of eggs and killing Of gulls
The average full grown gull here meas

FRIENDS OF BONUS AND
BEER LOSE NO TIME
Feature in First Measures introduced
At Special Session OF
Conuress.

Washington. Nov. 2l.--Wets lost no
time as Congress reconvened yester-
tlay in launching their fight for enact
ment OF a soldiers bonus bill, to be
paid for by a tax on legalzed beer.
The first bill introduced in the
House was on by Representative
John Philip Hill, Maryland Republican
proposing re.enactment of the adjusted
compensation measure killed by presi
Dental veto last summer. He sug'
gested 20-cents a gallon levy on 2.75
per cent beer and cider to raise the
necessary funds.
r Representative Britten, Illinois Re
publican, announced he would intro
duce a similar bill.
Hlrs bill provides for paying the
bonus in cash In three equal install
ments, on July / OF 1928. 1924 and
1926. "The entire cost of the bonus.
the Maryland congressman said would
be only $500, 100000 instead OF from
four to six billions required by the
old bill with its methods OF deferred
payments
Statistics gathered by the treasury
department and based on pre.war con
sumption Of beer mad wines, Iiill said
show that the tax proposed would
yield O half -biltion- dollar n year IN
revenue.

Estimate BY Commissioner from

NOT MUCH TRACKING SNOW
Commissioner Believes Bucks as
Plentiful as Last Year when
1904 Were Killed

Montpelier, Nov. 21.-The deer kill.
ed this season will be under 700 when
all reports are In, 1t was stated by
State Fish and Game Commissioner
II. r. Sheldon last night The season
ended Saturday night and reports re.
ceived yesterday morning brought
the total so far to 568.
The low figure is accounted for by
the lack of snow this year preventing
tracks. The kill last year was 1904
which was considered large kill un-
der the buck law. AS many hunters
as ever we're in the woodt this year
but the deer could not be found easi-
ly. There is no general scarcity OF
buck deer except locally. Beech
nuts have been plentiful this year anI
have caused some local migrations.
During 1919 and 1920, when does
could be shot, about 10000 deer were
killed.
