arts TOT trapping 6ex. If mutually friendly relations are to be maintained between the town, it will be wise to throttle adverse comment about one of our outstanding citizens. Foxes are pests and the only thing they are good for are to drape around ladies' shoulders after they've been skinned, (the foxes, we mean).
 ConSerVationistS are forever cumming the works. One group in a club will stock bass and another gang will come along and put trout into the same hole. Each division figures they're right; neither takes the trouble to check up with the other. Woodbury sportsmen stock cock pheasants and complain, through one vocal member of the club, about our trapping foxes that are sure death to pheasants. Its a wonder that reS.yr.'- cmfwy crnfwyi cmfwy fig somebody hasn't complained of the slaughter of black snakes and snap turtles. A forty pound snapper on a fly rod is just as much sport as ayfox running ahead of hound dogs, and a six foot black snake can give any angler few bad moments. too.
 v Politicians of Brookfield, New Haven, and Waterbury are more efficient than those of other near by villages.
