Muskrats Form Bulk of Catch.
In Illinois muskrats constitute the
bulk of the catch, while other animals

Many attempts have been made in
various portions of Illinois to estab-

Only few veteran trappers are left
in Illinois. The industry is largely
monopolized by the farmers sons.

Plant Grows Under Snow.

The Alpine flower called the SOL
darella, produces heat sufficient SO
that it grows even under a consider
able covering of snow. If the snow
is not too deep the plant sends its
stem up through the snow, which is
melted by the heat. If the snow is
Geeper the heat melts a little hollow
chamber out about the plant, thus CIV
ing it room to expand and blossom. 1t
has been found that some Of the
plants of the arum family, which are
common in the Mediterranean region
develop a temperature of as high as
100 degrees when their buds are open
ing To a less degree probably all
plants furnish their own heat under
certain conditions, but ordinarily veg

kayaks when melting and killed with
clubs, and large numbers of them are
also secured by bolas throwing. for
the migrant route of the ducks along
the coast Is so definitely known that

RIGHTFuL CREDIT DENIED us.


The United States census of 1910 places the
population of Richmond at $4,000
The United States census of 1920 will place
the population of Richmond at about 10000
unless territory containing people who have
moved into 1t from Richmond and In which i'm
migrants have settled be annexed by the city
This means that in 1920 Richmond will show
population about equal that of Atlanta in 1910.
If the territory surrounding Richmond, in
habited by RIchmonders who make their living
and spend their money in Richmond be annexed
the population Of Richmond will be recorded in
the 1920 census as more than 225,000.
In Hills new city directory, just issued. more
than $4,000 names of people living within the
city limits or in those suburbs which it is pro-
posed to annex are listed. These include males
and widows. The Association of American
Directory Publishers has found that the popula-
ton Of city is usually two and half times the
number OF names listed in the directory. On
this basis there are about 10000 people in
Richmond and suburbs These one hundred and
ninety thousand people are Richmond people in
everything but name. 1t rests with the city
council whether they shall be residents of Rich
mond in name as we'll and the city thereby be
given credit for It's real size and rate Of
growth.
1t must always be remembered that in ex-
tending the city limits to a reasonable extent the
city is not padding It's population figures. The
vast majority Of those who live in the suburbs
live there because the territory Is adjacent to
the city or have removed to those suburbs from
the city. Richmond loses thousands of people
every decade, these lost residents moving from
Richmond 10 the suburbs. offsetting to a large
extent the natural increase in the city's popula-
ton, Moreover, thousands move from other
places TO make their living in Richmond, but
make their residence in the adjacent territory
They are attracted to Richmond. They take from
and contribute to Richmond. They become
Richmonders But they are not known and are
not listed in the census as citizens of Richmond
but as citizens of Henrico or Chesterfield
It is for the city council to say whether they
shall be listed as Richmonders in 1920; whether
this city shall receive credit abroad for what
1t is.

in demands that the manufacturer and the rail-

eloqusnt on that subject and are loud and strong
in denouncing monopolies, while themselves hold

thousand acres of land, much of 1t unused never
suspect that they are the most Injurious and
