EAT vENisoN AND
 SAVE OTHER MEATS
There Is No Great Scarcity. of Deer; for the Biological Survey Estimates That 5000 Are Killed Annually, Furnishing 1o,ooo,ooo Pounds of Venison-

The Biological Survey of the De- partment of Agriculture has request ed game commissioners conservation societies and sportsnen's associations to secure accurate statistics on the number of deer killed in each State this year.
 This information is desired : by the Food Conservation Department
 The shooting of deer is permitted in B States, and the Biological Survey estimates Chat So,oO0 are killed legally every year. These produce nearly 10. = 004000 pounds of venison Every pound of venison should be made to save pound of pork, beef or mutton. Every pound saved wiil aid the United States in feeding hundreds of thou- sands in the devastated cities on the other side of the Atlantic. These peo- pie are dependent upon America for. food.
 The Biological Survey heads are of the opinion that with the best possible protection the total number of deer in each State can be incrtased 25 per cent. All sportsmen are urged to O. operate in securing this protection so as to get the maximum amount of venison as source of meat.
 It Is estimated that 50;080 deer were killed in the AdirondacarB this season: in fact, so many were killed that the New York Conservation Commission became suspicious and sent game pro- tectos from the southern section of the State to the mountain regions in fhe gufse of sportsmen tuAunearth evil dence Of wholesale deer law violations.

 shooting more than the bag limit and committing practically every other possible infraction of the law. The game protectors were unable to get the goods on the hunters etc, be- cause they-the game protectors-wer too we'll known and their movements were hearalded in advance.
 The Bag in Various States.
 Eleven hundred bucks were bagged in the one week season in thickly bucks were killed in the nine day sea son in Vermont. Thousands of deer were killed in Maine, but just how many we are not in a position to say, because figures are not available: but the fact that 20S2 were shipped out of Bangor gives one an idea of the num- Der brought down. There has been too much snow in New Hampshire for the hunting Of bucks.
 Deer have multiplied so fast espe cially does. in, some sections of Penn sylyania, that they have become a nuisance and a menace, and a great many sportsmen favor an open season of one year on does. Numerous scom- plaints have been made to the Game Commission by farmers, who allege that does have ruined their fruit trees.
 After New York had a 12-year clos ed season on does it was necessary to have a two-year open season. Deer became so plentiful that it was deemed wise to reduce their number. Deer have multiplied just as fast in Penn sylvania It would be fine if some arrangement could be made whereby deer could be taken from States where they are too plentiful and placed in the State where they are scarce. This would help the food situation a whole lot, also aid in solving the problem that confronts many game commis- sions now.

 On the next day he came to; far distant voices sounded in his ears. Opening his eyes. in the entrance of the dugout he saw a corporal and two men with fixed bayonets.

The whole battalion is laughih and pokin' fun at D Company. bad luck to you. but you won't get another chance to disgrace us. They'll put your lights out in the mornin'.
 After listening to this tirade. LloySs in a faltering voice. asked: They are not going to shoot me. are they Why the other sentry said they'd pardon me For Gods sake-don't tell me I'm to be shots" and his voice died away in a sob.
 Of course they're going to shoet you. The other sentry was jest kfddin' you. Jest like old smith. AL ways a-tryin' to cheer some one. Yea ain't got no more chance O. bein. psFf doned than I have of gettin' to be Colonel of my bait.
 When the fact that all hope was gone finally entered Edoyd's brain, a calm seemed to settle over him. and rising to his knees. with his arTns stretched, out to heaven, he praye5i and all of his soul entered into the l prayer.
 oh. good and mercifuI God gisse me strength to die like man. De- liver me from this towards $ death. Give me chance to die like my mates in the fighting line to die fighting for my country I ask this of thee" A peace, hitherto unknown, cau1e | to him. and he crouched and eo9s 1 cred no more, but calmly waited the dawn. ready to go to his death The shells were bursting all around the 1 gnardroom, but he hardly noticed them.
 While waiting there. the voice of the sentry, singing in a low tone, came to him. He was singing the choras of the popular trench ditty: T want to go home, l want to go
 home.
 I don't want to go to the trenches
 Where the .whizzbangs' and 'sausages'
 roar galore.
 Take me over the sea, where the AL
 lemand can't get at me.
 Oh my, I don't want to die. want

 Lloyd listened to the words with a
 strange interest and wondered what : kind of home he would 80 to across
 the Great Divide. It would be the only !, home he had ever known. Suddenly there came a great rush
 ing through the air. a hlfnding flash : a deafening report, and the sandbag , walls of the guarddoom toppled over , and then blackness.

Was Really Beaten in His Wrestling
 Match With caddock.

Related reports of the Caddock- Zbyszko wrestling match at Des Moines prove that the Pole escaped losing two straight falls by the great est piece of luck that ever befell a grappler. Caddock won the first fall with his favorite head scissors, which is quite as weakening to the victim as is the head lock of Lewis or the body scissors of Stecher. Soon thereafter Caddock again applied the head scissors and held if for several min utes. After a desperate struggle Zby-s szko broke the hold and staggered to his feet. He was in a dazed condition. He had barely regained his feet when he toppled over like a log Caddock was just scrambling up from the floor and the huge bulk of the Pole struck the Iowan on the head and knocked him senseless. It was ten minutes be- fore Caddock regained consciousness and was able to continue the match. Under the rules Zbyszko was awarded the second fall. But for this accident Caddock would have won the second fall and the match in a few minutes more. As it was the soldier did the more aggressive work till the time limit expired and received the verdict of Ed Smith of Chicago, the referee.
 The fact that the referee decided on Caddock as the victor at the end of two and half hours of wrestling, the verdict being based on points. caused considerable discussion in the east as the announced conditions of the match were to a finish, best two in three falls No mention had been made of time limit and a decision on points.

Pools Continued Their Activity in Nu-
 merous Speeialties.

New York, Feb. 2S.-The stock mar ket moved in aimless and perfunctory fashion during the greater part of to- days irregular session, quickenirg its pace slightly toward the close on a moderate inquiry for rails.
 Progress of the governments rail- way control legislation was probably a helpful factor together with pros poets of better earnings.
 Pools continued their intermittent activity in numerous specialties, but the trend in that quarter was far from uniform, secondary issues scoring one to three point gains. while seasoned shores reacted one to two points.
 Standard industrials comprising the steel division were under constant re- straint. mainly because of the uncer- tain attitude of the government re- specting prevailing price schedules.
 A marked falling off in domestic or ders was reported by many of the im- portant steel and iron manufa cturers, who are to meet here tomorrow.

 His sentence was passed: ITO be shot at 3::3S o'clock on the morning of May 1s, .1S1e' This meant that he had only one more day to live.
 He did not realize the awfulness of his sentence, his brain seemed paralyzed. He knew nothing of his trip. unded guard. in motor lorry to the sandbagged gnardroom in the village, where he was dumped on a fixed bayonet paced up and down in front of the entrance.
 Bully beef, water and biscuits were left beside him for his supper.
 The sentry, seeing that he ate noth- ing, came inside and shook him by the shoulder, saying in a kind voice:

Johnny is the Man That Puts the
 .Pepn Into Team.

Last season Johnny Evers fielded at .973 and batted a humble 214. but he talked the customary 1000. As that kind of song goes, The Tanks Are Coming" is pretty fair combination of rhythm and melody, yet we doubt if it will give the Kaiser as much con- cern as American league umpires will evidence when they hear that Eyers is coming
 The little fellow with the crooked jaw is the most interesting personality in baseball He is the greatest indi- vidual force on the diamond; a spark plug that sets any baseball motor he tinkers with going at an unhoay pace.
 We have heard ball players solemn ly swear that Eyers goes crazy in a close game, and we have never heard any who doubted he was smart. While Stallings was the Miracle Man" of 1914 it was our opinion that the large part of the miracle weighed about 145 pounds and could be seen and heard during proper office hours around sec ond base.
 Now the Trojan is to become an American leaguer. He has unquestion- ably gone back as a player. He has reached the point where he discrim- mates on which hits to run out saving his legs thereby, and his extra base blows are unusual as peoples in Greenland

Philadelphia, Feb sss-Ccnnse Mack, manager of the Philadelphia Ameri- can league baseball club, announced tonight that he had selected Catcher Cady. Inflelder Gardner and Outfielder Walker of the Boston Americans in exchange for John (Stuffy) McInnes the Athletics first baseman.
 Mir Mack said the Red Sox wanted him to take First Baseman Gamer, but that he had insisted on Cady. The deal was consummated today in New York with Harry Frazee, president of the Boston club. No financial consid- eration was involved.
 Mack said he had not yet communi- cated with the three players but that he expected them to join the Athletics before they leave for the southern training grounds next month.

 As dawn began to break he could discern little dark objects protrud ing from the ground all about him. Curiousity mastered his fear and he crawled to one Of the objects, and there in the uncertain light, he read on little wooden cross:
