give indication OF ,incaleulable material
and sentimental value for future gen.
erationS
One of the most interesting of these
farms is tract of $50 acres of noun
tain land in the northeastern Adiron-
dacks. fenced in about three years ago
by John 3. Durham, president of the
American Game Protective Associa-
ton, and stocked with deer-mostiy
whitehall deer, but including a few
European red deer. similar to our elk.
As Mr.. Burnham describes his farm in
the April Bulletin Of the association, Il
is distinctly profitable enterprise.
He has now a herd of one hundred
deer; the enterprise costs him some
What over $3.50 a year. and he expects
an income Of from 1880 to $4,000 a
year, beginning this autumn.
The deer have nothing save the
natural food Of the tract-evergreen
and hardwood browse-except some
hay cut from beaver meadow on the
place and sailed to induce them t.
eat 1t. A three year old deer's carcass
us worth from $50 to $50 in the market
here. The deer. Mr.. Burnham de-
clares, actually benefit the land for
forestry purposes-except the red deer,
which. break of the tops Of small trees
because they destroy hardwood
shoots which otherwise would shade
and kill young white pine trees, which
he has planted.
Another unusual farm IL that of
Charles F. Dietrich. who raises Ger
man hare, white-tailed deer, pheasants
and quail at Millbrook. Duchess coun.
ty. The German hare, he has foune
furnishes excellent sport and a cheap.
abundant and desirable source Of food
supply. From his preserve deer,
pheasants and these hare have escaped
from time to time. and bred In the
neighboring country, so that the farm :
ers have a fine game supply, and \
hunting club combines fox hunting
with coursing hares on horseback.
New York state itself has recently
entered this new field In farming. At
Sherburne. in Chenango county, there
is game farm which, on an appro
priation Of $500, last year produced
and distributed for Matching pleas
ants eggs and birds, which were esti-
mated at $4,000 in value-a neat adj
dition to the states resources.
Every farm Of this nature, whethe-
privately owned and operated for
profit or owned by the state and oper-
ated entirely in the interest Of game
propagation. is a benefit to the public.
While quail, ducks, pheasants and deer
can be thus raised for restocking and
for the table. there is no danger OF
their following the prairie chicken. the
wood pigeon and the buffalo. Future
generations will not have the reason to
blame this one for its game hogs"

in Turkestan, Dr.. w. J. Parmelee, in

Explorations show that ten thousand
years ago (twice the age Of the
Egyptian pyramids) people lived
southeast Of the Caspian Sea, about
120 miles from the sea, who had brick
houses, decorated pottery. convenient
and ingenious household articles. and
domestic animals; they raised and
ground wheat, and cooked their food.
So far as can be told, they had NJ

Boise, Idaho, April 27--United
States Senator Borah, who returned to
Boise Saturday, expects It will take all
the votes that the Republican party
can muster to defeat President Wilson

my opinion is that the campaign
will be fought out between the two old
parties. 1 do not look for third par

to be known as the Progressive party.
My great hope is that the Republican

BASEBALL IN FRANCE.

Northern France, April 27.-It's
baseball time in France. Spring is
here; the mud has gone; when a
soldier isn't fighting he must be
playing, and the only game a Ca
madam knows is baseball.
France is beholding baseball for
the first time. England is playing
it, The Canadians are the mission
aries. of baseball, behind the allies
lines, and they get so much out of
it that the French and the English
are beginning to believe that it is
really good game, after all.
The English cricket players, in
a dozen places behind the English
lines, have thrown away their
cricket paddles and are taking up
the baseball bat, with the Cana
dams.
Morning. noon and night, there
are baseball games going on behind
the lines, wherever a few Cana
dams are gathered together. Some
times the game is one-old-cat;
sometimes it's only knocking up
flies But, at certain times, there
have been inter-company baseball
games, with hundreds of dollars of
good Canadian money staked on
the result and with English and
French officers betting enthusias-
tically as anybody else

German Forward Movement in
Flanders Has Been Checked.
Russians Begin Another Attack
in UzsOk Pass Region.

London, April 27.-The German
rush in Flanders has halted, at least,
for the moment Official comm unica-
ton from German, French, British
and Belgian war departments today
bring out this point, although it is not
clear whether the allies have accom-
plished anything of Importance fur
their opponents. The official an
nouncement from Berlin shows that
the Germans are now on the defen-
sive along their new line north of
Ypres. The statement is made that
British attacks broke down with ex-
traordinarily heavy losses
Both the French and British claim
that part of the lost territory has been
retaken. It is said further that the

eastern end of the line which the
Germans wrested from them two days

The Italian ambassadors at Berlin
Vienna, Paris and London have been
summoned home for a conference with
the Italian foreign minister. Rome
interprets this move an indication
that Italy is on the eve of an impor-
tant decision concerning her foreign
policy.
Unofficial Geneva dispatches say
the Russians have begun another at
tack on the Austrians in the Uzsok
pass region. Austrian and German
casualties in the last two days are
estimated at 10000.
Another English trawler has been

FOR OLD WASHBURN.

Even the opening Western
League ball game for Topeka to-
day did not so divert the attention
of the friends of Washburn college
as to prevent them from sounding
the praises of the institution. Some
of the remarks:
James Perry. captain of the high
school team, which got iIrto action
Monday and which has made
great record: The Topeka high
school is behind Washburn college.
Every student who has subscribed
to the fund wears a blue ribbon.
Before the close of the campaign
we expect the entire student body
to be wearing the blue.
j. c. WOIcOtt: Students who
attend WaShburn are given an OPP
portunity to work their way
through college. 1 did this, and
several hundred students do it
every year. These students would
have no chance to obtain a higher
education were 1t not for the
chance they have to work.
William A. Benson: The half
million dollar endowment will be
great thing for Topeka. Every
body ought to give. 1t is perma-
nent inveStment-buildi for the
future
Robert Stone: i wish some one
last $25,OOO.''
g. R. Harries: The Auditorium
should be packed Wednesday night
for the final rally of the campaign.
Washburn must win, and the more
enthusiasm that is shown up to the
last minute the better will be her
chances. Wednesday some Strenu-
Gus efforts must be put in by the
Army of the Blue.
DIR. II. b. Peery, president of Mid
land college, AtchisOn: You ought
to have the uncOnquerable spirit
and you will win in the end.
Mrs. B. B. Smyth: Better for
any community to have a college.
The people should be willing to
contribute toward the fund.
Mrs. II. Il. Gathers: We should
make a big effort to maintain the
college. 1t is the means of bring
ing better classes to our city and
the upbuilding of it; necessary
proposition for the betterment of
any town or city.

an Appeal to Capper.
Pleaded Guilty for CIemency,
Captain Waters Says.

Application for a pardon or parole
for Charles Saum of Shawnee county
was made today to Governor Capper.
Saum was sent to the penitentiary a
year ago when he pleaded guilty in
the district court to a charge of as
sault upon his own daughter.
The application before the governor
today was urged by Captain ]. G. Wa
ters, attorney for Saum. In his state
ment, Captain Waters told Governor
Capper that Saum had pleaded guilty
at his personal suggestion. believing 3
that such action would aid in securin <
early executive clemency. No action
was taken by the governor. The case
will be taken up with w. E. Atchison,
county attorney, who issued the COM

Saum has been in state prison less
than a year for his alleged crime
