new YORK. CITY DRY BY
1920, RECTOR PREDICTS

New York. Nov 25.-"Attle Ole
New York will be dry by 1920 OF
forced to go out on the Atlantic to
get It's drinks.'
This prediction by the Rev. J. "
Chalmers. rector OF Holy Trinity
Church. set New York thinking today
The liquor men were especially inter-
ested. While some teered at the idea
of this stronghold OF alcohol becoming
white" territory. many privately ad-
mitted they agreed with the general
trend of the clcrgyman's remarks
while believing II might take longer to
force the change than the four years
he granted.
More stringent Laws and other
causes have greatly reduced the num-
Der of saloons in New York this year.
In the whole State six hundred went
out of business on October last. Only
part of the cities of the State have the
right to say whether they shall be
wet or dry, but strong fight for a
Statewide local option law will be
made in the next session of the Legis-
lature at Albany.
Saloonkeepers agree their business
is less profitable than ever before. For
one thing. the moving picture theaters
hurt them. The workingman takes
his whole family TO see the films in
stead of carousing In the neighborhood
inn, while his wife and children sit
at home wondering when and in what
condition he will return.
DR. Chalmers striking prediction
was made at the convention OF the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese of New
York. He exhibited map showing
there are ITO saloons within an area
OF three quarters Of a mile around
his church. which is In East Eighty
eighth Street. These saloons took in
last year. he said, more than s3,107,-
900.
If the city officials would enforce
the present liquor laws he added, at
least two thousand of the ten thousan
saloons In the city would be put out of
business.
After a long discussion. in which
the Rev. Philip W. Fauntleroy. OF st.
Luke's. Beacon, declared the people
cannot by legislation be Induced TO
refrain from drinking" the convention
went clearly on record for total alb
stinence and a State optional prohibit
ton bill. The resolution adopted
read:
That this convention, through It's
Social Service Commission, declares It's
readiness to cooperate with all active
temperance forces in urging total alb
stinence for individuals, in endeavor-
ing to have the present liquor laws
enforced, and in favoring any legisla-
| ton. such as an optional prohibition
bill. which will give the people OF this
| State in cities or towns chance &c
speak for themselves on the question
| Of license or no license"

STOCK Feed Must BE labeled.
Washington, D. c.. Nov. 25.-The
discovery OF interstate shipments OF
misbranded cottonseed meal has led
the United States Department of Agri-
culture to notify It's food and drug
inspectors to be on the lookout for
cottonseed meal. the labels of which
overstate the amount Of protein con-
tent. Investigation shows that much
OF the misbranded meal is made from
delinted cottonseed. The practice of
delinting seed has recently become
moro general. owing to the fact that
the lint thus removed. ordinarily of
little value. now commands high
price for the manufacture Of NUM-

Rabies Among Coyotes Causes Big
Live Stock Losses In
Four States.

Washington. D. c.. Nov. 25.-Depre-
dations of predatory animals. accom-
panied by outbreaks Of rabies among
them in parts OF Oregon, California,
Nevada and Utah resulted in the
shooting, trapping, and poisoning of
over 1900 coyotes during the last
fiscal year by hunters in the employ
OF the Biological Survey of the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture. Altogether over $1,000 noxious
animals, including wolves. coyotes,
mountain lions. and bobcats were de-
stroyed. The seriousness of the out
breaks of rabies will be realized when
1t Is stated that more than sixty per-
sons were treated by State authori-
ties of Nevada during tie year on ac-
count OF having been bitten by either
wild or domestic animals. The loss
of live stock has been very heavy At
Winnemucca, Nevada, a single rabid
coyote caused the loss of twenty
seven steers
During the past year over ESQ, 900
acres of government and public lands
have been covered with poisoned
grain for the determination of ground
squirrels. Large areas OF private
agricultural land also have been
cleared of these pests through cam
paigns conducted by the owners un-
Ader the direction of representatives OF
the Biological Survey. Operations
have been continued effectively
against prairie dogs, and over a half
million acres have been practically
cleared OF these destructive animals.
improvements which have been made
by the bureau in methods of exter-
minating prairie dogs have encour-
aged large numbers OF farmers to de-
stroy them on their lands.
Effective methods Of destroying Jack
rabbits have been devised and the
depredations of these animals have
been greatly reduced in many locali-
ties where they had proved exceed
ingly destructive. Similarly satisfac-
tory results are being obtained in ope-
rations against gophers and moles.
Important experiments have also
been conducted and methods devised
for the control of seed-eating NAM

tations and areas which are being
