To Provide Elk Refuge.

Congress recently has appropriated
$4,000 for the purchase of an elk ref
uge where sufficient hay can be raised
each year for feeding the herds during
the winter This refuge. comprising
about 1000 acres. is located in Jack
son Hole. two miles north of the town
of Jackson, Wyo.
Elk are polygamous and breed readily
in captivity. The wild herds in Mon
tana and Wyoming bring in large re-
turns to these states, in the form Of
hunting licenses, guides fees and
money spent by tourists and sports
men.
During the past few years expert
ments have been made in transferring
small herds of elk from the Yellow
stone Park and Jackson Hole 40 other
localities for the purpose of restocking
government and state reservations
About 1900 elk have been SO trans
ferred to thirteen different states
1t is estimated that there are about
200 elk in captivity in about 125 diff
ferent places in the United States, the
total number. wild and in captivity, in
this country being estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.
Besides the group of elk in the Ma
tional Museum, the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition is in possession of ten other elk
live ones located in the National Zoo
logical Park here.

What would Middletown have done
Saturday without Cobb. Heeler and
West. Those three men helped Finn
win the game for Mr.. Walls.
Cobb had sixteen outs and one as

in four bats. Who says he failed to
fill segelken's shoes?
Heller had two errors at first base
But remember. Bob hasn't touched a
ball for over month. His two hits
made up for those errors.
West played a wonderful game in
the field. The best second-sacker in
Delaware certainly did nail all the
batters hitting the ball in his direc-
ton.
Who is the 12-year-old Port Penn
boy writing under the nom de plume

positively pretty punk players.
Bill Ward. the pride OF odessa. will
shoot the balls on Saturday. Those
balls will look like pea shot from

his motto is: We've only lost one

Birds, slaughter Blocks.

In country districts where shelled
snails are abundant thrilling thing
it is to see robin, goldtinch or thrush
capture snail and HE them to GER
tain smooth-topped stone. there to soar
high in the heavens and repeatedly
drop the unhappy snail until finally
the shell is triumphantly cracked open
as you would nut.
These slaughter blocks, anvils OF
stone are to be found almost anywhere
that birds and snails are common. 1t
is, to be sure, no easy matter, to catch
the resourceful birds in the act; but
even if your patience goes unrewarded
the crushed and broken houses OF
shell scattered near such stones tell
the tale.
