that 1.G0O,S95 pounds Of coarse fish
have been seined from the waters OF
the state. The greatest amount
seined from any one lake was 100000
pounds taken from Storm Lake. The
work of restocking the lakes will be
continued this fall.
The effort to stock the state with
Hungarian cartridges and ring-necked
pheasants has been quite successful,
and has given the state fine lot of
game birds, although Mr.. Lincoln does
not believe Iowa will ever again be-
come great game bird state. The
fact that many hunters are of the
pot" variety and no not hunt for the
sport is factor in Gripping the
propagation of game.
Mr.. Lincoln suggests that the farm
ers should not allow such non-game
birds as the meadow lark, flicker and
robin to be killed, as they are of value
| in protecting crops from insects and
weeds.
Mr.. Lincoln criticises the pollution
of Iowa streams. He urges that the
law forbid the dumping into streams
of anything that will be harmful to
the fish. Much damage has been
caused in this manner, and it ought to
be stopped.
| Mr.. Lincoln recommends that the
word knowingly" be stricken from
section 2543 of the code. This has
reference to the unlawful sale of fish,
In his opinion the presence of this
word has prevented many convictions.
He also recommends that game birds
and animals raised in captivity, in the
state, be permitted to be sold and
shipped under the authority and with
the permission of the game warden
for propagation purposes. He also
recommends that hunting with ferrets
be prohibited. Also that it be unlaw-
full to secure from the waters of the
state in any number, or to sell, any
of the following fish less than the fol-
lowing specified lengths: Black bass,
eight inches; striped bass, eight
inches; pike or channel catfish, ten
inches; pike or pickerel, ten inches,
and crappies, ten inches.

State Game Warden George A. Lin
coin Files His Biennial Report
With Governor Carroll.
cRITIcIsEs OFFICERS OF LAW
Work of Restocking the Lakes to be
Continued This Year-Ring-
Necked Pheasants Plentiful
Copyright Hart Schaffner & Marx

Cedar Rapids, Oct. Sin his bien-
NAL report just submitted to Governor
Carroll, State Fish and Game Warden
George A. Lincoln, of this city, takes
a rap at the Iowa authorities for their
alleged failure to properly enforce the
laws for the protection Of game. Dur
ing the formative period of the pro-
tective legislation, says Mr.. Lincoln,
the enforcement of the statutes was
entrusted to deputy sheriffs. But
these officers did not adequately en-
force the law and resort was had to
the warden system. Warden Lincoln
claims that under the old plan many
officials had an eye out for reelection
and preferred to let enforcement go
by default rather than risk mourning
the displeasure of some of their con-
stituents. A game warden has no pO-
litical ambitions, and as the jobs of
the wardens depend on the work they
do the new system has proved more
beneficial.
In his report Mr.. Lincoln comments
upon the fact that it is difficult to catch
many offenders who sell birds illeg-
ally, as the offenders appear to be
skilled in the evasion of the law. Re-
suits, however, show that the ward
ems have been very active in their
duties, although, says Mr.. Lincoln, it
is discouraging to be obliged to put
in days and nights to catch a violator
and then have the court impose no
more than a dollar fine, with costs,
and then suspend the costs. Mr.. Lin
coin says that if anything is RENTED
it should be the costs, as then the
proper funds would be reimbursed
from the fines. Mr.. Lincoln also be.
lieves that if the general public were
to take greater interest in game protec-
ton there would be less juggling with
Justice.

duty toward one another. Note the
golden text of the lesson, For the
kingdom Of God is not meat and drink.
but righteousness and peace and joy
in the Holy Ghost" 1t is not what
we eat or do not eat; what we wear
or 40 not wear; in fact, not any out
ward thing which makes US loved by
Cod He looks on the heart and notes
its purity, desire for righteousness, it's
love, mercy, JOY in noble deeds for His
sake. This presentation of what the
true Christ religion is, stands out as
one of the great thoughts of the en-
tire bible. In line with this thought
was the declaration of Samuel to Saul
that to obey Gods commandment is
better than the ceremonial sacrifice
OF many cattle, and the words of Jesus
to the woman at the well, God is a
spirit and those who worship Him,
must worship Him in spirit and in
truth"
Finally, this lesson warns us of sham
religion, of claiming holiness when
indeed We are but hypocrites. 1t
teaches that outward forms and cere-
monies cannot take the place in Gods
sight of obeying the spirit of His COM
mand, and that ones standing before
God and true christianity are not
based on what we eat, drink, wear and
like outward things. How we follow
Gods command in spirit and in truth
is what counts. 1t is my earnest hope
that the study of this lesson will cause
thousands to see in what true follow
ing of Christ consists, and to avoid
outward pretentions of holiness used
as a cover for secret sinful living.
Figures issued by the officials of the
United States bureau of mines show
that 2,517 men were killed in the
American coal mines last yeas, as
against 1884 in 1910-a reduction of
|317. The death rate per 1000 was
3.91 in 1910 and 3.74 in 1911. Com
pared with 1907, the most fatal year
in the history of American mining,
when 1897 men lost their lives, 1911
shows a decrease of $50. Following
the great loss of life five years ago
the federal government early in 1908
began its investigation of the causes
of mine disasters and in 1910 the
bureau of mines was created. Dur
ing each of the five years since the
government began an active interest
in the matter, there has been a de-
crease in the number and in the per-
centage of deaths through mine dis
|asters.

Hungry? Tighten Your Belt


 Investigation recently completed bv Prof Rudolf Lennhofr. to ascertain in what manner constriction about the body In the region or the stomach lessens hun ger, have, according to reports publish&D In German papers, led to the interestinR result that the plan sometimes followed by hungry tramps and others of tight- enins the belt is the correct and scientific manner of accomplishing the desired re- suit.
 Metallic substances were mixed with solid food such as potatoes. and fed to men The X-ray revealed that a contrac- ton of the stomach took place and a rel- atiyely small quantity of the food proved sufficient to satlsfy the appetite. When liquid food was given the contraction was considerably less and larger auan- tity was necessary for satiation Another experiment in which the liquid food was introduced through a tube. showed that twice the quantity was required to pro- duce satiety The conclusion was that the stimulus of swallowing by reflex ac- ton caused contraction of the stomach and produced lessened sense of hunger This suggested that artificial pressure over the stomach by means. of belt, a common expedient of the tramp, might produce the effect, and this proved to be the case. In order to eliminate the effects of suggestion the experiment was tried on Insane persons who were allowed to eat as much as they pleased. During the experiment they ate less satlation occur. ring sooner.

The mar ket opened barely steady at an advance of points on October, but generally to ' points lower In response to the showing of Liverpool. Selling was ac- tive from the start and after the pub lication of the official forecasts for generally fair weather tonight and Sun day, the market showed a net loss of about 10 to 12 points on the general list Covering by some of yesterdays sellers, and support from bullish sources rallied the market 4 or points from this level, but the liquidation continued and prices broke again In the late trad ing, higher the close being at practice ally the lowest level of the day. Pri- vate cables attributed the decline in Liverpool to evening up for over Sun day, and the English spot market made a relatively firm showing. Private ad- wees from the south continued to re- fleet steady interior spot situation which some attribute to a comparative scarcity of high grades, and to the de- nland for filling out october engage inents.

The range was 4l to 4S points.
 Fear Of frost in the cotton belt, soma little frost of light nature, smaller gin- ming returns from the census bureau than expected and an unwieldy short interest combined to put prices up. On the whole the long side was not inclined to be ag- gressive, as the movement was very large.
 Impartial cotton men were of the opin- ion that the weather of the week was more favorable than otherwise. But few spots represented had sentimentaIly bullish effect on prices and there was always the fear that severe cold wave would develop that would bring killing frost 10 the greater part of the belt.
