culture to be appointed by Presi- dent Coolidge at the beginning of his own term next March. Samuel Adams, beaper of an historic name, Is being prominently mentioned for the post, He was born near West field. Mass, and has long been prominently identified with agri- culture, having been editor and owner of the American Fruit Growers Magazine" for some years. Oddly enough, Samuel Adams was candidate for vice. president against Coolidge at the Chicago convention in 1920 and was second only to the president on the final ballot. III health pre- vented him from aiding in the campaign this year. but he is now recovered. It would not be case of "too much New England" If he were appointed, as he is now a resi- dent of Illinois. Herbert Myrick of Springfield, Mass, editor of Farm and Home" is another New Eng lander considered to have an out side chance at the vacant cabinet place.
 Only 19 more days before Christ mas And what shall we get for Uncle Myron, and Aunt Titania, and Cousin Ethelbert, And how much should we spend on the Mannings - they didn't bankrupt themselves on what they gave us last year? And should we send a handkerchief to Cousin Emmie - didn't we send one to her last year? And what about little Bobby -- Is he to get that electric train he's been asking for and bowling about and threat ening Santa Claus over? And Helen - that big doll with the big blue eyes Is pretty, all right, but isn't the price on the tag even bigger than the eyes? And how soon ought we to mail that can of tobacco to good old Bill way up in Alaska? And, for goodness sake, will those packages get through like that, with those loose folds and straggly strings? And does father have to carry all those bundles down to the post office? Why can't mother or one of the children do it, they have so much more time? And why doesn't the post office get some better system of handling mail - it's always so crowded when you go there at rush hour? And whats the chances of that bottle of home- made wine getting safely through to old Henry Lammerduck - 1t might miss the dry agents, but how could it escape a postal clerks de- structive hands? And, good night, did you mail that fountain pen 10 Helen's friend Sarah, or did you lose it?
 Oh, won't it be great to have Christmas over with and all this rush ended? On second thought --- no: that's when all the bills will come flooding in!
 Under the auspices of the state board of fisheries and game, meet ing of sportsmen and legislators in- terested in fishing and hunting will be held at the state capitol on Monday. December Is, at 10 o'clock in the morning. It is ex- pected that the attendance will be fairly large because of the great numbers interested in stalking game or whipping streams.
 One of the subjects which will probably be discussed will be the issuing of combination hunting and fishing license. Under the law at present. it is necessary to take out separate licenses for eacn branch of sport and there is strong sentiment in favor of a change
 Fish and game conservation will also come up in the course ot the meeting. The present chapter in the statutes on conservation is de" scribed as compromise and advo' cates of greater liberality or strictef enforcement are certain to express their views
