TRAPPING
CamOuf1agc And Size OF Trans
Essential To Lure Game
Successfully.
BY Morris Alderman.
Famous Hunter and Trapper

One of the oldest pastimes IN our
whole category of sports" is trap
ping. When the white man, came
into this country he found the In
dams using fur as the principle me-
dunn of exchange.
AS the white race encroacEed on
the territory of the red man, trapping
more thar any other line Of endeavor
carried the newcomer into the wilds
AS in other achievements demand
ed by the times, the white man in
vented methods to increase results
and shorten hours of work. One of
these inventions. and the greatest of
all to the trapper, was the introduce
ton of the steel trap.
With comparatively few alt STATIONS
the steel trap is much the same to-
day as it was more thar a hundred
years ago. Another singular fact
is that with the rapid approach of
civilization, and even in our most
thickly populated states, trapping to-
day is of considerable Importance. In
some centers the red fox seems to
thrive more as districts grow up
around it. The muskrat, mink. opos-
sum-. skunk n raccoon continue to
propagate, and these, with the red
COX, offer. pleasure and profit to
many.
OF course there is, the professional
trapper of the north country who
spends many months of the year at
his. trade and uses. on his lines from
half hundred to more than two
hundred traps. He has learned from
experience the sizes of traps his
country demands. The object Of this
item is to make the reader familiar
with the sizes used for various kinds
Of trapping.
The No. 0 is used for rats; No. /
for mink. skunk. marten. opossum.
No. 2 for fox and raccoon; No. 3 for
otter and coyote; No. 4 for beaver.
and wolf; No. 41-2 for timber wolves
and mountain lion; No. SO for small
bear; Nc. 5 for black bear, and No.
6 for grizzly. These sizes given are
generally used, though there are
more than two dozen in the range of
sizes that can be selected according
to individual ideas.
The successful trapper takes much
care in setting and batting his traps.
Camouflage Is important. For mink.
muskrat and other small animals
who live partly in. the water the trap
should be set in the used
by these animals in getting out of
the streams which they frequent: The
traps should be we'll hidden by dead
grass or leaves.
Traps for the larger carntvOrae
must be waited with food attractive
to the animals to be caught. In
many cases it is necessary to grease
the traps with tallow or some other
animal fat, as some animals readily
detect the smell of steel and keep a
safe distance.
In trapping foxes wolves, noun
tain lions and other wary game it
is often necessary to bury the traps
under a thin layer of earth. III cases
Of animals Of this sort every trace
Of the human odor must be elimin-
ated by greasins \ hands with ami
and the shoes with fat to remove
the odor. which would frighten the
gameNaway from the traps.

THE MARKETS
CORN INCLINED
. TO TURN DOWN
Receipts Heaviest so Far
This Season-Makes
Change in Prices. .

Chicago, Feb. 13.-Corn prices
showed some tendency to ease down
today owing to the fact that receipts
here were the heaviest SO far this
season. Predictions of colder weather
that would be likely to harden coun-
try roads and to bring about larger
deliveries by farmers. were regarded
as also in favor of the bear. On n
other hand, all offerings were readily
absorbed by industries. OPENING
prices, which ranged from 1-S to IA
@3-8 cents lower, with March $1.27
and May 1924 7-8 to 1.25, were fol-
lowed by a moderate rally and then a
fresh sag.
Absence of selling pressure led to
frmness in the pats market after
weakness at the start. Initial declines
were ascribed to increased arrivals.
Prices opened Ia to SIS cents of,
with May 70 1-2 to 70 5-8 and then
rose to we'll above yesterdays finish:
Provisions averaged lower in nse
quence of scattered liquidation by
holders. Upturns in hog values ap-
peared to be ignored. g"
In subsequent dealings, the market
displayed decided strength. Packers
were said to have been notified that
further government contracts would
be placed in March. '
Improvement in the railroad situa-
ton east of Chicago gave strength
to the market later, and so too did
the fact that a resolution introduced
in the senate favored an increase of
the government guaranteed price Of
wheat. The close was firm, Ia to .3-8
cent to 1-2 to 5-8 cent net higher,
with March 1 27 5.2 and Nav 1.25 h.S

The Negro Soldier

The parade of the negro troops last
Saturday recalled history. 1t recalled
Shaw at the head of the freedmen who
were to seal their courage and soldiery
devotion in the assault on Fort Wagner.
1t recalled the great experiment Of the
Sixties in making disciplined fighters out
of men who had known nothing but the
abjcctness of slavery and who were still
confusedly classified, not as men, but as
contraband.
The negro soldier proved his mettle in
the Civil War. ''The colored troops
fought nobly' was more than a perfume
tory phrase. 1t told an unvarnished
truth. And the Spanish War brought
added confirmation of the theory that the
American negro yields rank to none in
capacity to master the trade and acquire
the virtues Of the soldier.
He will show his worth again in this
war--as great war for human freedom
as the one in which he fought in the
armies of the North against disunion
and for his own enfranchisement.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-25
We Must Raise a Bigger Army

To play the part which now belongs
to the United States we shall need
much bigger army. No one can doubt
this who grasps the meaning of the new
German offensive. 1t is hopeful sign
that Germany's savage thrusts on the
Somme have stirred Washington out of
its complacency.
In the Senate last Saturday Mr.
Smith, of Georgia, threw out the sugges-
ton that Congress prepare as speedily
as possible to double the present army"
The military forces already authorized
exceed 100000 men, exclusive of spe-
cial and n-combatant services. If the
army is doubled in size it's full strength
will be 100000 or over.
The Senate had before it bill, whose
immediate passage is greatly desired,
providing for the registration of men
who have reached twenty-one since June
5, 1917 The selectiye conscription act
should have contained a clause including
these men automatically in the draft
population. That oversight has to be
repaired now Repairing it will add
nearly a million names to the conscrip-
ton lists. To offset this increase Mr.
Hardwick, Of Georgia, who has always
shown strong pacifst leanings, sought to
exempt all drafted men who have passed
their thlrty-frst birthdays since June 3,
10Y, and have not yet been called into
service.
Mr. Hardwick was the only Senator
to vote for this indefensible Limitation
on our present available man power. He
was properly taken to task by his col
league, Mr.. Smith, and by Senator
Chamberlain, who agreed that the time
mad come to consider abandoning the
present conscription age limit.
1t If self~cvident that il the army is
10 be doubled in size and kept thereafter
New-York tribune., 1918-03-25

should be concluded at once with the Ger
mans, the statements are accepted as abso
lutely truthful, and nothing earth will
convince the masses of the people that the
circumstances and not personalities are in
the way. 1t is impossible to educate their
minds and develop their political under
standing. They will cling to the abyss OF
their personal instincts and prejudices.
And the worst part of it is that party
leader can be certain that the people whom
he leads will not think of him the next day
he taught him to think about his oppo-
ncnts. Once it becomes an established fact
with the people that the game of foolng
and misleading is being played, what is to
stop them from considering the leaders of
their own party as swndlers when they do
not fulfil their promises Immediately? If
Zereteli fool the people, why should
not Lenine be able to do the same thing?
At recent meeting of the Petrograd gar
rison we have already heard such state
ments from soldier. 1--WE were fooled.'
he said, "by the Car. Then we were fooled
by Lvoff; then Kercnsky fooled US; and
who can guarantee that Lenine will not
fool us?"
Disillusionizing the Masses
The masses of the people are not being
educated concerning the present political
SITUATION. Ihey are only told to blame per-
sonally this that man. They are being
taught that not only capitalist politicians,
but also Socialists, people who have devoted
their lives to the revolution, are fooing
and misleading the people, and that NOT
only individual Socialists doing it, but
whole factions and parties. And once the
masses are convinced that men may have
Socialist programme, sacrifice themselves
Tor their ideals for years and be dishonest
at the same time, whom do they then trust {?
Upon whom will they rely? Is Lenine anv
better than Kerensky? Kerenshy was idol
lZed only short time ago and was consid-
cred as the leader Of the democracy And
to-day the "Provda" characterzes him as a
common bandit. What is to stop another
paper from saying the same thing of Lenine
tomorrow? And maybe the common people
will think that they are both telling the
truth. And the Socialists are not satisfied
with making statements. They also act
They send soldiers against one another and
they shoot one another up with cannons
and guns. To prove that they are serious
and that they believe every word they say
when they call one another swinders and
traitors and that it isn't mere discussion
with them, but deep secret conviction.
And DO you expect that such convictions
VIII not leave their traces in the soul of
the masses of the people?
NO; | am quite certain that the mud
singing of the Socialists is more ant to
corrupt the masses Of the people and to
poison their souls than the blood that is be-
ing shed. Dirt sticks faster than blood.
The bloody war will stop, but the dirt
will stick 10 the souls. And that is the
most dangerous part of it.
New-York tribune., 1918-03-25

at full strength the present age limita
tion will have to go. The House of Rep
resentatives wanted to take men up to
forty years when the original selectiye
draft act was under consideration. The
Senate stood out for twenty seven years
as a limit. A compromise was made on
thirty-one years. But now Mr. Cham
berlain names forty-fve as likely
maximum.
Volunteers in the regular establish
ment and in the former National Guard
were accepted up to forty. By ncreas-
ing the draft age limit to thirty five
years or more the opportunities for eco
nonlc selection would be enlarged Glass
Il could be expanded without trenching
too much on the supply of men who can
be put to better use in war industries.
Our present age limit is abnormallv low.
1T represents only partial effort to de-
velop our man power and it cannot give
us an army sufficient for the role which
we ought to play in the war, if the dura-
tlon of the conflict is to be measured bv
the strength which the Teutonic alliance
stlll possesses and which it is now go
conhdently employing on the Western
front.
