The wagon did not appear to be badly damaged, but one of the lamps of the automobile was bent and mud guard torn off.

THE JAPANESE ovERLoAD.~

In America we c1amor over the = regulation g Of wealth. Japan is des- perately trying to create it. Devoid of natural resources, facing famine un- 1 less the fields give up three crops a year, the economic problem is further increased by the Government monopo- liking of the great utilities that create wealth 6and invite ca pital in, Western lands. The net profit of all the Government monopo1ies outside of transport ation above cost of operation was but $31, ,045, 600, or less than fifty cents per inhabitant. The expenses were $19, 800. GOO. The profits from railways, telegraphs and telephones run about $25,000,00O a. year. The pro fits of the transportation system, if divided. would give fifty cents a year to ach 1nhabitant of Nippon. Not con- tent with these handicaps, the Govern ment is now imposing heavy protec- tive tariff in place of the easy ten per cent for revenue that formerly pre- vailed The motive for this, like most things Eastern, is just the opposite of our own. We "protest against the cheap foreign labor. As labor in Japan is from ten to twenty times cheaper than our own in ordinary occupations. the effort is to keep the native from inpoverishing himself by buying foreign articles at the enormous wage disadvantage entailed in such pur-
 
 silly framed as to affIict the importers of raw materials and so adds to the general economic confusion. The cost of living has doubled since 1894, when the Chinese conflict came, and the Russian war taxes still prevail, though it is seven years since the war. It was promised that if the people would bear the taxes for five years, the Govern ment would establish a sinking fund which would take care of the debt and at the end of the time restore old tax rates.
 It is fair to say that the Japanese | Government is weary of its overload. It is telling the people they must be- gin to look out for .themselyes in business enterprises. But handicap pped | by its weight of war, it can aaeither | do more nor withdraw. To ac7use a people so handicapped of desks for world conquest is cruel.

 Insectivorous birds, including rob- ins, larks, etc, are protected at all times in all states and similar pro-
 lection is given the smaller shore birds and other species which have been greatly reduced in number. Limited Shooting on Great Rivers A novel and important feature is the prohibition of hunting on the great rivers of the country except during Novenl Der and December. Prohibit ed territory as designated by the reg ulauons in this instance is as follows:
 Mississippi River from New Orleans to Minneapolis.
 Ohio River from it's mouth to Pitts burgh, Pa.
 Missouri River between it's mouth and Bismarck N. D.
 Under the provisions of the Weeks Mclean law three months are given from the time these regulations are made public until they are presented to the President for approval and are finally adopted. It is also provided. that public hearings may be had if deemed proper and it is assumed that these very probably will be held.
 History-NFaIing Action.
 The regulations outlined above con- stitute beyond doubt the most country's history towards the protec- ton of it's wild life. They, of course take precedence of all existing stae utes in the several states with which they come in conflict That they will be of the greatest interest to the 25,- 000,o0o or more of the country's pop ulat1on who are directly or indirectly concerned with the subject to which they pertain is certain. It is felt that
 on the whole. the underlying prinei- pies are sound and well adapted to an urgent need. Wise discrimination for the most part seems to have been
 made in dealing with species that are not holding their own under existing
 regulations and there is evident intent of giving a square deal to an sections of the country.
 A special committee of, three from
 the bureau of biological survey draft ed the regulations outlined above. Its members are T. s. Palmer, A. K
 Fisher and W. W. Cooke. The de- partment of agriculture has issued two pamphlets on the subject, one con- 1 taining the regulations themselves and ] the second an explanation of them. These are numbered s2 and ss res peetively,
 The regulations outlined above are l an effective contradiction to the ru- nor, widespread in the northwestern
 states, to the effect that the Weeks

MY CREED.

If any little word of ours Can make one life the brighter; If any little song of ours Can make one heart the lighter; God help us speak that little word, And take our bit of singing, And drop it in, some lonely vale, To set the echoes ringing. If any little love of ours Can make one life the sweeter; If any little care of ours Can make one step the heeter; If any little help may ease The burden of another, God give us love and care and
 strength
 To help along each other. If any watchfuI thought of ours Can make some work the stronger; If any cheery smile of ours Cah make its brightness longer, Then let us speak that thought to-
 day With tender eyes a-glowing, So God may grant some weary one, Shall reap from our glad sowing.

WISE WORDS A Physician on Food

A physician of Portland, OregEs-s' has views about food. He says:
 'I have always believed that the duty of the physician does not cease with treating the sick. but that we owe it to humanity to teach them how to protect their health especially by hygienic andn dietetic laws.
 with such feeling to my duty ] take great pleasure in saying to the public that in my own ecperleuce and also from personal observation I have found no food to equal Grape Nuts and that I find there is almost no limit to the great bengsdt this food will bring when used in all eases of sickness and convalescenee.

SUMMARY OF NEW
 FEDERAL GAME LAW.
State Laws Are Ineffective If In Con
 f1ict With Its Provisions.

The eagerly-awaited regulations of the United States department of agri- culture, bureau of .bioIogicaIDsurvey, fixing the seasons in which the shoot ing of migratory birds is allowed, au- thorized under the recently enacted Weeks Mclean migratory bird law, have just been made public by the de- partment- They are effective as of October 1, 1913. The American Game Protective and Propagation Associa- ton which was active in the move ment for the enactment of the Weeks Mclean law, has summarized the most important points involved in these regulations as follows:
 Zones Established.
 Generally speaking, the country is divided into two zones. northern and southern, the dividing line running wholly or in part north of latitude 4C degrees and the Ohio River. The twenty-five states included in the northern zone comprise Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio. In. diana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, Soutf Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyo ming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon anc Washington.
 | The twenty-three states included 1T the southern zone are Delaware Maryland, District of CoIum mbia, Vir ginia, West Virginia North and SoutI | Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mis- souri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Ari 1 zona, s< California, Nevada and Utah | The shooting season fixed for thes' two zones vafies according to the foul ! of oicrro ai1@Ie fTa1 have been made as will be seen later The zones thus established take tn place of fifty similar districts now ex 1 isting under the statutes Of the severa l states.
 Standardization of Regulations. By way of summarization the fol lowing statements may be made: | Exceptions have been made in bot l zones for numerous reasons, but il most cases the closed seasons take tn l average of the existing laws of tn 1 they are located.
 There has been more cutting dow | on the closing than the opening. date of the shooting seasons as they nov exist.
 In most cases three months of opel shooting are allowed for water flow | and in some cases as much as thre and one-haIf months
 Spring shooting is absolutely pro | hibited.
 Shooting of migratory birds be tween sunset and sunrise is likewis l prohibited.
 In no case will there be less thai | thirty days when birds may be sho during the period of their greates 1 abundance.
 When Shooting Is Permitted.
 Birds that may be shot are di vided by the new regulations int four classes. These, and the opel | seasons allowed on them, follow: 1 Northern Zone. l 1, Water Fowl Sept. 1 to Dec Is l 2, Rail, Sept 1 to Dec. l.

mingling of the grotesque and the ter

The northwest point of the island is
split up into collection of large
rocks of most fantastic shapes. Houses,
spires, cathedrals and figures of men
and beasts are some of the forms as
sumed by these volcanic fragments,
which, rising black above the white,
seething foam of the seat that breaks
against their base, give weird aspect
to the grim and desolate region. One
rock resembling a large saddle sug-
gested to me the thought that some

have straddled it and perhaps fished
for reptilia over the beetling cliffs
which it surmounts.'

THE RAIN AND THE SNOW

The two day rain and snow that
has been going on here and generally
throughout the country turned into a
general snow storm Tuesday evening
and yesterday morning the ground
was heavily covered with snow j.
Twelve and one-half inches of snow

varied from three to ten inches, with
the heavier fall south.
The precipitation during the past
week has wet everything down in fine
shape. and the ground is in the best
of condition.
