A UNIQUE GAME TRAP.
IEt Dodpa Massanper1

The most unique game trap in the
world is probably one in constant use
at the NJ. & st. L. round house. AMI
yet the trap is not an Illegal affair ana
there is no danger of its being confis-
Gated by the game warden, despite the
fact that game is caught in it almost
daily. The trap referred to is the
large pit OF the turn table in the yards.
This is large affair probably 80 feet
rin diameter and five or six feet deep.
Into this pit numerous animals tumble
and few ever get out. Snakes, turtles,
frogs, rabbits, squirrels and all the lit
tie animals that creep and run find
their way into the pit. There is n
small stream of water flowing thru
the pit which probably comes from 4
hidden spring. A little grass is also
found In the enclosure, and sutiicien.
food and water is found for the sub
sistence of the animals which enter
this modern Noahs Ark. Frogs are
plentiful and the pit supplies fish bait
for the neighborhood. Some time ago
the frogs were sold for market but
this was discontinued as the trap be-
came depopulated. The latest addi-
ton to the menagerie was little cot
ton tail rabbit which found its way
into the pit yesterday and was rescued
by one of the machinists.

MODERN wooDMAN.


The rise in the salaries of the officers
and lecturers of the order OF Modern
Woodmen does not meet the approval
of the vast membership who a shor
time ago were not a little concerned
over the matter or reimbursement OF
assessment rates, something that was
deemed necessary by the leading MEM
bers of the organization for the saliva
ton of the order. Many OF the papers
of Iowa and Illinois and the adjacent
states are commenting very severely
over the appointment OF Lieutenant
Governor Northcott to $4,000
sinecure as a past officer of the order.
In some cities the order has adopted
resolutions protesting against such
an appointment and consumption of
the funds of the order, and it is gener
ally believed that such a pressure will
be brought to bear upon the council
that the action will be revoked. IT
may not be generally known that the
executive council already has two sal
aries lecturers, Charles Whealen of
Madison, WIS, and Judge Fred q.
White of Pontiac. They are paid $4,000
per annum and expenses The former
was allowed 1919 for his work in June.
There is nothing in the constitution and
bylaws of the order which permits
SUCH appointments. The executive
council, which consists of five directors
and the head counsel and head clerk,
acted upon their own volition and the
storm that has arisen will doubtless
have some effect. The money of these
three positions does not come out of
the benefit fund, but out of the gen.
eral fund, but even this does not justi-
fly the expenditure in the opinion of
local members. They maintain that the
adjustment for dates accomplished at
Indianapolis makes the services of lee
turers unnecessary and that the ex-
pense is a needless drain upon the
treasury of the order. They think that
economy should reign now instead of
extravaganza and all surplus money
that acrues be placed In reserve fund.
The feeling among the Woodmen over
the action of the council has climaXea
with the appointment of Governor
Northcott and it is likely that an or
ganized renaissance will be pre-
sented.
