WILD BUFFALO IN THE
 YELLOWSTONE PARK ARE
 SAID TO BE INCREASING

YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo., July 26-- Convincing evidence that rh" wild buffalo of Yellowstone Ma tional Park, the last surviving rem 0ant of the great herds which once roamed the western plains, are on the increase, instead of dying out, as was feared, has been obtained in the dis covery of new group in the south east portion of the park. About l5 an- imals were observed, evidently a part of the old herd, which it is thought grew so large that some of itS.memb- CTS were forced to break away and seek new pasturage.
 Definite information has been ob- taincd by park authorities that there 4rn now more than 100 of the wild buffalo in the park. Formerly there were only about half that number.
 When discovered, the new herd was within five miles of one of the largest hotels in the park and a snapshot was obtained of one of the animals, fine bull, probably the first photograph ev- cl taken of a wild buffalo.
 Ordinarily the wild buffalo never are seen by tourists and only rarely by park authorities, even by the rang CTS who patrol the most remote sec tions. The appearance of the new herd close to the main lines of travel was before the season opened and the ami mals apparently had been lured down from the mountain fastnesSes by the abundance of spring grass on the low CT levels. They disappeared into un- travelled country as soon as automo- piles became frequent along the high ways.
 Forty-eight calves have been added this year to the tame buffalo herd of the park, which now has a. population of 800. Part of the tame herd has been placed in corral at Mammoth Hot Springs for the benefit of visitors.

such trips do not present any difficult ty. once the passenger has overcome the preliminary apprehension of dan ger. This apprehension is much dis tinguishcd by the new limousine type If machine, where the passenger sui terS neither from cold nor wind nor motor noise.
 The establishment of these wireless and airpIanc communications are a continuance of the French policy of keeping Eastern and Western Europe connected. It is due to the French that since the ArmiStice express trains have been run between Paris and Warsaw, passing the intervening cit icS of Prague and Vienna, and also be- tween Paris and Bucharest, and final iy between Paris and ConStantinoplc. These three which are known as the Warsaw, Simplon and Orient Express nS. were first under French army con troI and are now under commercial control of the International Sleeping ar Company.

FIRE PREVENTION
Proclamation by the Governor of the
State of South Carolina.

Proclamation by the Governor of the
State of South Carolina.
October ninth has been set aside
by the President of the United States
as day upon which the people of the
country should give especial attention
to the study of fire prevention.
each year the loss from fire is
enormous; the total for the United
States in 1919 amounting to two hun
dred and fifty million dollars. The
same year the loss in South Carolina
alone was s2,054,581. These figures
are conservative, as they do not in
clude losses not covered in whole OF
in part by insurance. In addition to
the destruction of material property.
hundreds of lives are sacrificed each
year because of fires, most of which
could have been prevented by reason
able care.
"For some years the ratio of fire
losses to total combustible property
has been falling. This is due to the
intelligent efforts Of our people to
spread the doctrine of fire prevention.
There is yet room for tremendous
improvement. The observance of fire
prevention day each year is doing
much to lessen the needless destruc-
ton of property and lives, by teach
ing in the schools and elsewhere the
simple principles of prevention. There
has never been a time when we could
acord to pursue wanton, careless
policy in regard to our property; par
ticularly can we ill-afford such pol
icy now, when there is a distressing
shortage of houses, when building ma
terials are scarce and high, and when
the general economic condition de-
mands greater and greater production.
"Now, therefore, 1, R. A. Cooper,
Governor of South Carolina, in re-
sponse to the suggestion of the Presi-
dent of the United States, and in az
cord with my own beliefs and ju l.
ment, do set aside October 9, 1920, as
Fire Prevention Day in South Caro-
lima, and call upon the people to de-
vote at least a part of that day to
the study of fire prevention.
"Done at Columbia this 2.nd day
of September, and in the yea of our
Lord one thousand nine hundred and
twenty.

HOUSTON REITERATES
POLICY FOR CREDIT
Can Not Be Party to
Speculative Operations for Main
tanning War Prices.

Washington, Sept. 26.-The gov
ernment can not be party to any un-
dertaking for artificially maintaining
"war prices" by enabling owners to
withhold their commodities from the
markets, Secretary Houston said to-
night in a formal statement on the
commercial credit situation.
On the other hand the secretary de-
clares in favor of the orderly market
ing of all commodities and estimates
that the commercial loans of all banks
during the past year increased by
about $2,OOO,O0O,000 to s3,000,00O,O0O
to meet the demands of industry and
agriculture.
81 am in favor of every legitimate
effort to promote the orderly market
ing of all commodities" said Secre-
tary Houston, "but the government
can not be a party to an undertaking
to hold commodities off the market to
enable the owners artificially for a
speculative purpose to maintain war
prices or higher than war prices"
