America has ever been nation OF
trappers and hunters. and few wild
animals have escaped The practice
Of determination has been national
regret with respect to more than one
sort OF animal. Recently 100000
acres has been set aside in Oklahoma
for a public park where the bison
may enjoy some Of bis native free
dom. Preserves in Maine. New York
and several Of the western states are
caring for deer and elk. but many Of
the smaller wild animals like the
beaver, which would add much to the
pictureganeness OF our lakes and
woods II ksft unharmed, are now kill
ed wherever seen. Squirrels have
come to be protected by public senti-
ment even in the largest OF our cities
and many a park or college campus
is enlivened by the swift antics Of
these little animals.

After this when one goes into some

might be, says the Kennebec Journal
The correct way of putting in the or
der will be to say: ''I'll have a pound

of measuring the sale has lately come
in vogue among few Of Portlands

spread to them all. Within the last
six weeks many of the wholesale
houses have been selling bananas to
the retailers by weight. and they in
turn are disposing Of them to the Gus

count of the varied size OF the popular
