Miss May Taylor Moulton, well
known in society circles, is devoting
herself to a peculiar and splendid
charity. She had heard of the suffer
ing Of the men in the field hospitals
all along the front; how the ennui Of
lying in bed all day waiting for the
opportunity to return either to use
full private life or to the trenches,
depressed the spirits of the men and
she resolved that they ought to have
music to cheer them up. One of the
most practical forms of supplying mu-
sic, wholesale, is by the talking ma
chine. She issued her appeals to the
American public and response has
been generous. So many people buy
quantities of records, play them a
short while and then put them aside
that Miss Moulton suggests sending
these to the wounded soldiers through
the Vocation War Relief, at 58 West
Thirty-ninth street, New York city.
She has been aided in the work by
many colleges and war relief socie-
ties.

Among Deer In the North

Duluth, Mimi. - Trappers arriving
here with wolf hides for bounty report
that hundreds of northern Minnesota
deer are being slaughtered by wolves.
The exceptionally deep snow and the
alternate freezing and thawing have
made a crust that will sustain the
weight of the wolves, but the sharp
hoofs of deer break through, and they
fall an easy prey.
The scarcity of rabbits, which have
been wiped out, has made the deer the
only food available for wolves, and

KARL EsERHARDT THROWS FOR
HOTcHklSS AGAINST PAoNlA

Hotchkiss had a good celebration on
the Nations birthday, including with
other attractions, ball game between
the home town and Paonia. Ramsey
was in the box for Hotchkiss at the
beginning, but was replaced in the
fourth inning by Karl Eberhardt, one
of Delta's twirlers, and it is said by
Paonia boys and those who saw the
team down much better had he pitch,
ed the entire game.
The most sensational plays were
made by w. Graham, one of Paonia's
stars, with a record in this game of
five hits out of five A. BIS, one cul-
minating in home run
There were numerous errors. Tol.
and pitched good game for Paonia
and struck out 13 men. Atkins wore
the mask for Paonia, while Ross did
ditto for Hotchkiss.
The score was to 1 in favor of
Paonia. Hotchkiss getting but one
hit and one run which was an earned
one.
