ter Of the trapping season was brought
to our attention by the condition of the
furs confiscated during the past year.
that we're taken just before the opening
Of the season. They were almost
worthless and we are convinced that it
is an economic loss, not only to the
state, but to the trapper himself, to
permit the taking of these animals un-
til the fur is in prime condition. Also
in this connection we quote from the
publications Of the United States bio
logical survey as follows:
'tMuskrats within the United 81
should not he trapped before Decem-
ber IS; and while the fur is still
prime in the latter part of March, the
breeding season is then on, and con-
tinued trapping would greatly limit the
number of animals for the next season.
The open season for the muskrat
should be limited to three months,
from December Is to March IS, or in
the northern states from December to
March ~

The deer in this state are threatened
with extinction at an early date unless
something is done to remedy conditions
rapidly growing worse. When the re-
gion west of the Missouri was sparsely
settled there was a chance to permit
short season and still not too greatly
disturb natures balance, but with the
rapid settlement Of that region the
problem is becoming more difficult. In
the light Of present conditions we are
forced to the conclusion that the time
is at hand when it would be expedient
to close the season on deer for term
o. years, and at the same time endeavo-
to add protective measures that will
tend to the multiplication Of the spe-
cies, or, if provision is made for ref
uges and game preserves to foster a
more rapid increase Of these animals
then to limit the killing Of deer to two
antlercd deer in any one season. Ger
tainly if we continue to kill the does
and fawns we cannot hope for rapid
increase. Besides, there would be an
element Of safety to the hunter in such
restriction as the one last mention
ed, for there will certainly be fewer
cases of mistaking man for deer
if the hunter is required to see the ant
lers before pressing the trigger. In any
event, the killing of deer should be re-
stricted to the male specimens.
These further restrictions on the
hunting of deer and particularly the
closed season would greatly aid in the
protection of the antelope, on which
the season is now closed. The legisla-

will be gained; butt he chief depen'
dence after all, must be one OF a more
careful conservation of the natural sup
ply This may be saved by laws re-
stricting the taking of fur bearing
animals to proper seasons and protect
ing them at other times; and, in the
case of species that are becoming rare,
by laws forbidding their capture for n

attic restocking Of territory depleted
by trapping should be undertaken. 1t
is believed that the muskrat may be
made to play an important part in the
conservation of the nation s fur re-
sources.''
The muskrat has two main economic
uses. It's chief value is, of course, for
it's fur, but it. is also valuable for its
flesh, which is utilized as food. The
flesh Of the muskrat was highly esteem
ed among the Indians, especially in
winter; the early colonists learned the
use of it; nearly all professional hunt
ers, trappers and explorers in the north
ern regions considered it very palat-
able, and in later years many people OF
refined taste have eaten the flesh and
propounced it game worthy of the
epicure. Thee flavor has been ikened
by some to that Of the famous terrapin
of the Chesapeake. Publications of tn
biological survey discussing the sub
iect, tell at some length the method Of
cooking the muskrat and also gives
an idea of how extensive is the use of
the meat. One dealer in Philadelphia
sells an average of 5000 muskrat g
casses a week to his customers. In sew
eral parts of Michigan the supply is
often inadequate to meet the demand.
In many other parts Of the country
this flesh is among the regular offerings
at the meat markets.
Realizing that in the muskrat we
have a resource of great. Importance,
we have in an appropriate place in
this report advised greater protection

CUPID CLUB IS ORGANIZED
Maize, Kan, Girls Have Started a Cor
respondence Club.

Hutchinson, Kan, Jan. 21.-The
maidens of Maize in sedgwick county,
have enlisted the mail man as an aid to
Cupid. Socially things are so pokey at
Maize-only an occasional box social
or pie supper to break the tedium.
It is difficult for the girls to have
good time and more difficult still for
them to meet any really nice young
men.
But the girls now have hit upon a
plan which is bringing them all kinds
of fun and what is more to the point,
the acquaintance Of plety Of desir
able young men. A correspondence
club has been organized there and at
Haven. Now, when the club learns
the name of a nice young man who
lives in town that is no; too far dis
tant from the parent chapter of the
! club the girls write to him and get
! him into the club.
The eligible young men of Wichita,
Kingman, Newton, Halstead and Hut
Crimson are receiving letters from the
girls and the number Of recruits is
growing every day. Here is copy Of
the tf first letter. that was received by
a. young man who is now member of
the club and lives at Hutchinson. 1t
is from the corresponding secretary Of
the club:
"Pardon me for writing to YOU in
this way, but and a number of other
girls are trying to start correspon-
dence club the object Of which is to get
acquainted with young folks in other
towns as there are so few here.

the club now, but one of our number
who woulu like to correspond with you
resides in a nearby town. Her name
is z. P. Gilbert, Haven, Kas. All
think this is nice plan to get ac
quainted, as they meet many nice
people whom they would not otherwise

haven't time or inclination to call.

In the latter letters, when the clut

course this formal mode of expires
sion is not carried on. According tc
the present plans Of the club, pict
ures are to be exchanged and in the
near future the business of permanent
organization vii be conducted by let
ter. When warm weather comes gen

young men Of the club are to NEE

Our First Cocoa.


The first newspaper notice that an
nounced the sale of cocoa and choco-
late in America read:
"Amos Trask, at his house, little
below the Bell tavern, in Danvers,
makes and sells chocolate which he
will warrant to be good and takes CO.
Goa to grind. Those who may please
to favor him with their custom may
depend upon being well served and at
q very cheap rate"
This notice appeared in the Essex
Gazette of Massachusetts on the 18th
Of June, I'LL, five years before the
signing Of the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence. Despite Mr.. Trask's assur-
ance that his rate was cheap, choco-
late was very expensive and beyond
the purse Of any but the wealthy folk.
Main Points In Buddhism.
Self conquest and universal charity
are the fundamental thoughts. the very

as Buddhism. From the start Bud

against ceremonialism and. proclaim

ness, went forth to proclaim the teach

day the most extensive faith on earth
in point Of numbers, and, although
much older than Christianity. is still
full Of life and vigor. There are
Buddhist missionaries even in America

OF the many interesting problems

these the hawks, owls and crows are

over, the combinations affected are
preparing to adjust themselves for
the worst which can be expected, that
is reorganization.
With regard to general business,
Mr.. Clews is evidently an optimist.
He says:
In nearly every department of in
dustry supplies of goods are scarce.
There has been little. if any abate-
industrial plants must soon resume
operations in order to satisfy neces-
sary requirements. In some cases de-
mand is being stimulated by lower
prices, which are desirable, not only
as a means of renewed activity, but
also as an aid to lowering the cost
of living. In the interior the situa-
ton is slightly better. Easy money
is having helpful effect in the West
and the crop outlook is promising
owing to favorable conditions of soil
and ample snow or moisture. In
foreign trade the tendency is towards
increased exports and diminished i'm
ports. thus restoring foreign trade to
the normal. Europe has been lib
eral purchaser of our securities and
is showing increased confidence in
American enterprise. In London and
Paris easy money conditions likewise
prevail. In fact, owing to the abund-
ance of money the world over, 1t is
impossible to see how a fresh for
ward movement can be delayed for
any lengthy period. President Tafts
reciprocity plans are finding greater
favor with the people than with the
politicians, and it would not be sur

without circulation privileges.
Stocks are concentrated in strong
hands," says Mr.. Clews, land the big
holders possess power through
abundant funds of lifting the market
to higher level, which appears to
be their ultimate purpose" But, he
adds, excessive speculation is wholly
discouraged, and the policy of the
leaders appears to be to develop a
broader and more active market, per-
hitting If not encouraging moderate
reactions in order to attract a new
element into the speculative arena"
Doubtless. the purpose of the
market leaders is to secure con-
fidence which will aid the floating Of

The decision of the House Repub-
lican caucus in favor Of a member
ship Of 391. the present number. is
somewhat surprising, as reapportion-
ment based upon this number would
reduce the representation of Is States
and increase that of but IL. Possibly.
an explanation is found In the fact
that the States which would lose some
part OF their present representation.
are mostly Democratic or Progressive.
or are evincing decided symptoms of
Progressive sympathies. The caucus
appears to have been, as usual, ''play-
ing politics" instead Of consulting the
interests Of the whole country.
1t may be reasonably doubted
whether the ss1 plan can pass against
the opposition of the Is States, the
representation of which is reduced,
aided by the votes of the Democratic
and Progr essfve members.
