CENSUS 10 BE MADE OF SEALS
 ON PR|B|L0FS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dr. G. Dallas Hanna, member of the staff of the California Academy of Science, has just left here for Alaska, where he will make census of the fur seals on the Pribilof islands under direc- tion of the United States bureau of fisheries.
 Dr. Hanna has been connected with this work each year since 1913. In 1919 it was reported that there were 540,00O animals in the herd, In 1910, when the Government first took over the operation of the island industry, there were less than 2OO,- 900. During the time when this increase was taking place, enough surplus and useless males were killed and their skins sold at auction to provide the national treasury with $3,500,000 above all expenses, ac- cording to w. w. Sergeant, secre- tary of the California Academy of Science.
 The purpose of the census is chiefly to determine how many ami mals can be safely removed each year and still provide for maxi mum percentage of increase of the herd. If the increase in 1920 con- .tinues as heretofore. it is said that there should be about 60O,OOO of these amphibious fur-bearers, by far the largest herd in existence, as we'll as surplus of about 30,000 males which can be killed for their skins. At current prices of these furs they will be valued at about $S.OOO,OOO.
 [ 'Since the cost of operation will be less than $2O0,000, it is quite evident that this industry is one of the best. if not the best, financial enterprises the Government has," said MT. Sergeant, land it is capa- ble of almost unlimited expansion, provided the females are protected at sea and the surplus males are re- moved from the herd. The fighting of such males on the crowded rock cries causes large mortality among the females and young.
 "The carcasses of the animals killed were formerly allowed to waste, but last year by-products plant was put into operation, by means of which it is expected very superior oil and animal meal will be placed on the market. The census which will be taken in 1920 will en- able a close approximation to be made of the quantities of these prod ucts which will be available in the immediate future"

MANY SOLDIERS
 ID BE BROUGHT
 HOME FOR BURIAL

: PARIS. - Representatives of the American war department here es- innate that about 60 percent of the American soldiers buried in France will be exhumed and taken back to their native land A little more than 77,OO0 American burials have been registered by the Graves Reg istration service and about 71,OO0 of these are in France
 l Not all of these soldiers will be returned to American soil, as the United States war department pro- poses to carry back to America only those requested by their next of kin. This policy will result in leav- ing in France those whose next Of kin ask that they be left here and those whose removal is not request ed. It is understood also that the unidentified American dead will be left in France.
 l Decision by the Franco American commission that bodies of American soldiers buried in the zone of mili- tary operations may be exhumed any time after September Is next ends long period of negotiations between French and American au- thorities. The French government desired to meet the wishes of the American nation, but entertained serious doubts as to the advisability of removing the American dead from the zone of operations this year, owing to labor and transporta- tion difficulties involving the passing of the bodies over the railways and 1 highways at time when the French population was in the first stage of , it's recovery from the economic and sentimental strain of five years of war. The French government feared that the granting of such permission to America would bring on clamor- ous agitation from other nations for similar permission, and that this would hamper the rehabilitation of French industrial conditions.
 American officers, however, have vigorously urged that the number of Americans in the zone of operations was relatively small; that the tradi- tional policy of the United States was to return it's dead from foreign soil, and that the American Govern ment could do no less than heed the pleas of those next of kin who in- sisted that the bodies of their rela- tives be returned to their homes.

STATE SCHOOLS
URGED To LAND
FUEL SUPPLIES

In order that all schools of the
state may be properly supplied
against possible fuel shortage next
year, r.. H. Wilson, state superin
tendent of Grady county received, is
as follows:
Permit me to call your attention
to matter which deem very I'M
portant at this time You will prob
ably see most of your school board
members between now and the an
uaal meeting and will have personal
talks with them. TO those you do
not see you should write concerning
their laying in their fuel supply dur
ing the summer, asst year we had
very great coal shortage, and in
many places there was great suffer
ing.
We are not looking for anything of
that kind to happen again, but since
the school boards must buy the coal
it seems to me that they had just as
wen but it early and have it on hand
before the congestion which natural
ly comes in the fall of the year.
Every school that uses coal should
have a small coal house and buy the
coal in the summer soon after the
annual meeting"
