Deer Slayers Leave
For the Far North

The usual number of local hunters
are invading the northern woods
this week in search of the elusive
deer. The season opened Tuesday
with prospect excellent for bagging
game. There is considerable snow
in the northern part of the state and
this will make hunting easy compar-
ed with last year. Then too the
lone buck" law has been done away
with and hunters are entitled to one
deer of either species.
Joe Foster, Barney Carolan, and
Angus Dunn were first to leave and
these three crack shots will make
their headquarters at Marriage in
the camp promoted by some of the
leading sportsmen in Baldwin River
Falls and Ellsworth.
Monday morning Dick Osborne
and John Hunter left for Radisson,
and Caesar Spillcke, D We Green
and Harvey Wygant went to Excl
end. Fred Williams, George a n d
Irv Stewart, Err Buck, Min Chin

Every regiment was ordered to
transfer men to Camp Pike Friday,
each company furnishing 40 to 40
men, and on Saturday there were
only about $4,000 soldiers left at this
cantonment. Co. ID had but 1872
men, and on Sunday and Monday 70
of these were on guard duty. Twen-
ty of these guards patrolled the rifle
range, three miles out from camp.
Last week the soldiers had an OPP
portunity to take out insurance I'M
der the new law. and most all of
them took advantage of it, $4,000
policies being the most popular. For
boys of the draft age the payments
amount to from SIS 60 to ST monthly,
a wonderfully low rate. Many are
also paying $40 per month on their
Liberty Loan bonds. These pay
ments are deducted from the sal
aries before reaching the headquar-
ters, as is also, the required allot-
ment to dependents. 1t makes the
monthly stipend of, for instance, say
a married corporal, age 81, rather
meager affair-$10 on Liberty Bond;
81 insurance; SIS allotment to wife;
total $32. Total pay, $50. Balance
to spend for taxi cab joy rides, thea
ire tickets, downtown feeds, etc ,
etc during the month, 81. But ev-
cry investment which the govern
ment affords and recommends for its
soldiers is certainly to their advan-
tage, and unequalled by any former
arrangement in that respect, especi-
ally the compensation and insurance

untary rationing system was working
admirably and the crops of the coun-
try were doing Well
In regard to his plans for food con-
troll, he declared that he was first of
all going to consider the interests of
the consumer, and he was very san
guine that he would be able to abolish
excessive profits in foodstuffs and to
reduce prices. Referring to the Amer
lean food bill, Baron Rhondda said;
II am watching the final stages of
American food legislation with pro-
found interest and admiration for its
Comprehensiveness and far-sighted-
ness. When the senate settles many
knotty points that were bound to
arise and when food administration
becomes part of the American govern
mental machinery, all the entente
allied food ministries will be able to
make their provisions for the future,
both as regards the supply and the
prices, with far greater degree of
certainty

SAVE VEAL CALVES
AND Sucking PIGS,
URGES DR.. BARNARD

INDIANAPOLIS, July 2.-Dr. H. E.
Barnard, State food and drug commits
sioner, in statement issued here to-
day, urged the saving of the calf.
young lamb and sucking pig from
slaughter as war measure. He said
prime ribs of beef will be a thing
of the past if the practice of killing
calves and baby beef is not soon
stopped. Ore of the most important
problems in conserving the food sup
ply is the saving of immature food
animals from slaughter. The farmer
has sold his lambs, young pigs and
calves because the public wanted lamb
chops and roast of veal and offered
such a price for them that he found
it more profitable to sell the imma-
ture animals than the fully matured
stock
1T is a difficult matter to stimulate
patriotism in the face of prices, which
naturally drains the farms of their
products. The governors of the Law
yers' and Whitehall clubs have reach
ed the same conclusion that the only
way to stop the slaughter OF young
animals Is to stop eating them anu
have attached the following notice to
the menu:
"In order to help the government
in its effort toward conservation OF
immature food animals during the
war, it has been decided to eliminate
from the club menu all dishes OF por-
lions of calf, baby lamb and sucking
pigs
Every hotel and restaurant pro-
prietor may do his bit by refusing
to serve any meat form an immature
animal Such action will diminish the
meat supply today, but it will greatly
increase the supply available next
! winter and another year"

NEW YORK, July 2.-Belief that a
U-boat was sunk by two bombs drop
ped by hydroplane in fight at sea

chaser and the aircraft was expressed

ian steamship which arrived here to-
Gay from Mediterranean ports.
