KILL OFF PREDATORY BEASTS
Kidding Ranges of Ravasins Rosues
Results in Saving More Than
s5,ooo,0oo Worth Of Stock.

It is estimated that the bureau OF
biological survey Of the United States
department Of agriculture is saving
annually over $5,0O0,000 worth Of live
stock for the ranchers of the Rocky
mountain section as result Of its in
tensive campaign against predatory an
imals, which has been in progress dur
ing the past three years. During this
period 6O,458 coyotes, s,OS5 bobcats,
1929 wolves, POI mountain lions, and
137 bears have been trapped or shot.
and many other animals have been
poisoned. The income from the sale OF
pelts of animals killed by government
hunters to protect live stock during the
last year will aggregate approximately
100000. This work is Of special Inn
portance, because the cattle and sheep
which are already on the renge produc-
ing meat, wool, and leather are afford
ed protection, and thus the actual
sources of these essential commodities
are being conserved for market. Fur
thermore, clearing the range Of preda-
tory animals is making conditions more
favorable for stocking the grazing
areas to full capacity and for improv-
ing the quality Of the breeding stock.

lParis.-Dq.. Alexis Carrel Of the

for a laboratory and workshop near
certain hospital cente4s. He found the
house he wanted in a park full OF

refused the most tempting offers to
rent it on account Of the family SOU

said: 'Ten Doctor Carrel that l am

When the question Of rent was

Of marine life is credited the biological
station established at Aessina, about

DEATH AS ENTRY INTO Joy
Writer Thinks Mankind Exasgerates
Importance Of Incident Of Earthly
Dissolution.

Apart from the mystery Of lives cut
off in their early prime, and this is
the horrid catastrophe Of war, it is
certain that in our natural clinging
to life we exaggerate the Importance
Of the incident Of death. 'Will you
never find an abiding peace?" said a
friend to a restless poet. he replied,
tAll life is wandering to find
home"
Michael Fairless writes in the Road
Mender: "To the large majority
death is Pluto, king Of the dark un-
known whence no traveller returns,
rather than Azrael, brother and friend,
lord of the mansion Of life. Strange
how men shun him as he waits in the
shadow, watching our straining after
immortality, sending his comrade sleep
to prepare us for himself. When the
hour strikes he comes-yery gently,
very tenderly, if we will have it So
fol the tired hands together, takes
the way-worn feet in his broad, strong
palm; and lifting us in his, wonderful
arms he bears us swiftly down the val
ley and across the water Of Remeln-
brance. Very pleasant art thou, o
Brother Death, thy love is wonderful /;
passing the love Of women"

NO GENERAL RULE POSSIBLE
Matter of Proper Amount Of Bodily
Exercise Must Be Left to Dis
cretion of Individual.

tsIt is an axiom that mental excel
lence is to very considerable extent
dependent upon mans physical con-
dition," declared Secretary Of State
Robert Lansing. 'It is equally true
that rules of health, except the most
general, depend in large measure up
on the individual and upon his peculiar
needs.
"If I were asked to lay down rules
which might be applied generally" con-
tinued the American premier, Il
would embody them in the phrase
More fresh air and less food How
much bodily exercise should be taken
and its character depend upon the
individual, his physical condition and.
to an extent, on his tastes. OF course,
exercise is, as a rule, beneficial, but
it ought to be a pleasure to the one
taking it If he would get the best re-
suits.
ut may sound like heresy. but I
sometimes wonder whether exercise,
when it is not diversion. IS really
worth while. Certainly the mind Is
not rested If it rebels against certain
forms Of physical training which are
being taken, and recreation for the
mind Of one engaged in Intellectual
pursuits is, in my opinion. one OF the
most essential purposes Of exercise OF
the muscles.
II believe, however. as have said,
that fresh air is one of the great re-
storatiyes, and the fact that exercise
is generally taken in the open is/one
of its chief benefits From "Secre-
tary Lansing's, Story Of His Health

FOOD H0ARDERs IN TROUBLE
MIR. 3. z. Ant and Mrs. Camel Called
On for Explanations as to Per-
nieious Activity.

Mr.. B. q. Ant, a well-known citizen
Of this community, was arrested at his
home last night on orders of the
food administrator and charged with
boarding food. A large quantity Of
bread crumbs and ,ther high-priced
foodstuffs were founi in the basement
OF Mr. Ants home. The discovery is
somewhat of a surprise as Mr.. Ant
has always borne an excellent reputa-
ton for industry; in fact the proverb
Go to the Ant. thou Sluggard," so
often used, was originally written
about direct ancestor Of Mr.. Ant.
Witnesses testified that they had
seen Mr.. Ant on many occasions car
rying food to his home and it is
thought he has gone so far as to enlist
the aid of his friends and relatives
in carrying food. Enough edibles to
last all winter were found at the Ant
home.
Mr.. Ant is unable to give any satts-
factory explanation Of his ofense ex-
cept that some unseen force compelled
him to store the food away. as he
would need it later on. He denies
vigorously that he intended to hold 1t
for higher prices. His case is being
considered by the food administra-
tor.
This is the second arrest made by
food officials in this neighborhood re-

among these was that Of neutraiizins
