UNCLE SANS SEALS
PAYING BIC PROFITS

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 1.-THE
most unique venture in Government
ownership--Uncle Sans seal ranch on
the Pribilof Islands north OF nifty
thrce"-is proving a decided success.
OperatinC on an agreement with
Great Britain. Japan and Russia, the
United states Government, in its man
aCcmcnt OF the fur-bearing seal herd
OF the BehrinC Sea, has made for
itself and partners, profit OF more
than GOO per cent, as well as saving
the seal from determination.
From fewer than 100000 in 1911.
the herd has grown to 54S,000 at
present.
Preparatory to his annual report
Uncle Sam has just taken an inven-
tory. Each baby seal. each male and
female has been counted and tagged
for retention as stock in trade or for
killing.
In the nine years since, by inter-
national treaty. he took over the pro-
lection of his valuable charges, Uncle
Sam has turned into the Golfers Of the
four-cornered partnership more than

or the proits England and Japan
have each received Is per cent. in re-
turn for which they have restrained
their subjects from pelagic or open
sea sealing. &Russia has received
none, as she has a small herd of her
own.
In 1867. when Alaska and all the
riches that went with II, was pur-
chased from Russia. there were esti-
mated to be nearly 1905. 900 seals on
the Pribilof Islands. their only home
since the memory of man. In 1910 the
herd had dwindled to 100000. due to
the uncontrolled open-sea sealing.
Since that time Uncle Sam has
waNrhcd his flock like a shepherd
Only males have been killed. the
number each year being apportioned
SO as to leave one male to 40 females
From 1912 to 1913 only 3i,soo were
killed.
In 1921. based on the census just
taken by DR.. G. Dallas Hanna. of the
California Academy of Science, 10000
will be killed.
SO far this season 26.O0o have been
killed, with about ! 800 yet remain
ing for that purpose.
II is an absolute monopoly. From
the time the baby seal is born until

auction is held at ST. Louis at which
the furs go to the highest bidder. At
the end OF each season an accounting
W made to the other three partners
in the corporation.
Uncle Sam may. in n way be called
a profteer, too. In 1913 the average
value of his product was si6.3i per
fur The price has now gone UP until
he receives an average Of slTO each.
In 1918 he received t3I5,3s5 from the
industry; in 1919 his sales totaled
s1,5o1,5s3.
The partnership carries its own i'm
surance. Two United States Coast

constantly on the watch for poach-
crs. Should any be caught they are
turned over to the country Of their

BAKE YOUR OWN;
FLOUR IS CHEAP
Housewives Urged to Lower
Cost OF Bread by Improving
Market Conditions.

CHICAGO. Dec. 6.-"Let thhe good
fashioned barrel OF flour ani bake

declared l.. l.. Winters, director OF
the Chicago Eoard of Tradc, in reply
to state ncnt that "the Price OF
bread is about the only article OF
food that has not declined
During the war an accrntuated
demand for bakers bread sprang Up,
partly because the baker was more
expert in making an edible loaf from
mixtures. The housewife has con
tinued buying bakers bread because
it is easier The baker conte ads that
while ingredients have declined. Ia
Dor is higher than ever.
"A general movement on the part
of the housewife to lay in supply
of cheap flour now would materially
help to stabilize the price of the
farmers wheat, besides strengthen
ing the consumers purse. The
farmer wants the Government to do
something to advance the price OF
wheat. The consumer wants some
body to do something to reduce the
price of bread. The solution lies In
their own hands. Instead OF con-
tributing funds to promote new mar
keting facilities and to destroy or
ganizezd grain exchanges which are
the most useful servants the farmer
ever had, the farmer might better
start campaign to remind house
wives OF the attractive qualities OF
home made bread. Only a little team
work is needed to solve the problem.
I'm some bread making the labor
cost is nothing, the bread is whole
some. and the necessity of paying a.

Would Make Trouble.

The United States Government
will not insist on its demand that the
government of Guatemala release
Manuel Estrada Cabrera, former
dictator, and allow him TO leave that
country, it became known in Of
fetal circles today. The Guatemalan
government has replied to represen-
tations of the United States request
ing Estrada Cabrera's release that
il fears a revolution in event OF his
being placed at liberty, it was said.
SEEK CORRECT FACTS.
Members Of the United States SEN
ate, however, are known to have
asked for information as TO the cir
cumstances under which Estrada
Cabrera was thrown into prison and
the events which followed his incar-
ceration. An authoritative statement
supported by photographs OF occur
rences in the Guatemalan capital has
been prepared for their information.
together with statements OF foreign
residents OF events now made public
for the first time.
These statements are expected TO
be made the basis OF demand for a
Congressional investigation backed
by members Of the Committee on For

In Senatorial circles today.
The State Department il Is de-
clared officially, however, Will insist
that Estrada Cabrera be Rven sani-
tary quarters and proper food and
medical attention.
REFUGEES ARRIVE HERE.
Refugees who arrived in Washing
ton today, having made their way
from Guatemala to Panama, declare
that nineteen persons, including at
least one foreigners. were slain by
the mob in Guatemala city following
Estrada Cabrera's abdication.
They brought with them photo
graphs Of the killings which took
place in the Plaza de Armas at the
capital. where they say the mob OF
10000 people demanded the surrender
OF persons alleged to favor the for
mer dictator and slashed them TO
pieces with machetes when they were
thrust forth from prison by the

Among the victims. they assert was

has come to typify a death by illegal
violence as distinctive from those
who are shot who are designated as
victims of "fusilimiento."
An American. who since has made
his escape to the United States and
who Is now in Washington. is said to
have been demanded by the mob.
Thinking he was sheltered in the

GIRL BANISHED
FOR MARRYING
Morganatic Wife of Greek
King Exiled When She
Claims Rights.

Athens. July 19.-The unofficial
marriage ceremony between the
King and Mile. Manos is said TO
have been performed on November
S last at the house of Nine. Zalo-
costa. sister of Nine. Manos, by a
priest without the metropolitan's
license and the other due legal
formalities required for royal wed
dings.
The marriage was consequently a
morganatic one. and is not recog-
nized by the constitution. 1t is also
considered null by civil law in the
absence of the metropolitan's Ii
cense.
During a recent journey of King
Alexander to Saloniki. Mile. Manos
established herself in the royal
palace. and on the Kings return
she insisted on her right to dwell
with her husband. but she was
obliged by the government to leave
Greece with her other sister and
settle in Paris, where the King
later went to meet her.
The idylI dates from the time OF
the Kings quiet life as a younger
prince in his fathers household
where the Manos family was inti-
mate. Since his accession the King
remained faithful to his old attach
ment. notwithstanding great efforts
to dissuade him made in many
quarters.
