STATE TRAPPERs
MUST 0BEYLAW
CLATE X. TINAN. An AUTHORITY
WRITES ON IMPORTANCE PRO-
TECTING FUR-BEARING ANI-
MAILS.

Pierre, Dec. 11.-The following is
the first of series OF stories to be
issued to the daily newspapers by
clate r. Tinan. former publisher of
the Kimball Graphic. who is an ack-
nowledged authority on fish and
game:
The fishing and hunting season
being practically over. the game and
fish department of the state has OF
late been particularly active in look
ing out for the welfare of the now
highly priced little denizens of the
lakes and marshes, the muskrat, and
the scarcely less so inhabitant of the
upland. the skunk.
H. S. Hedrick. head of the depart
ment. early instructed his field and
deputy wardens and reports are daily
coming into his office from all parts
of the state from these officers of
arrests and fines for violating the
law governing fur-bearing animals,
most of them so far from the north
east part of the state. where many
lakes and marshes abound
Reports received in one week
showed between 25 and so arrests
and fines and costs aggregating
about $3.50 OF this sum approx
imateiy $500 was3for trapping be-
fore season opened on Dec. 4;
remainder for trapping without a IL
cense The maximum fine is $50 in
either case-and some of them got
ii. In one case at Waubay il cost
the man 500 for carelessness in
watching the calendar
The value of fur-bearing animals
to commonwealth is scarcely rea-
lized by the general public since the
price of fur garments went ballonn-
ing. Many skins, particularly musk
rat. have gone up 500 to 400 per
cent, skins that once sold for dime
now bringing SO to SIS.
State Game Warden Hedrick esti-
mates the value of the furs taken
last year in this state at $4,000, 900,
including the non-protected animals.
In one county alone. Aurora, he
found from good authority that the
trappers In the vicinity of the lakes
in that county had realized from
their 1919-20 catch approximately
$40, 600.
Hence the determination on his
part to keep his deputies busy at
this time of year seeing that there
is no trapping out of season or With
nut license or violating any other
provisions Of the Law.

HOME life failure
BLAMED FOR UNREST
AT TOXIC CONCLAVE

TOXIC, Oct. 12.-Failure Of home
life and not the failure of the church
was held to be responsible for the
social unrest, the sin and crime and
shame that abounds on every hand"
by the Rev. w. e. Biederwolf, d. D., OF
Chicago in an address before the
Worlds Sunday School Congress here
tonight. The speaker charged that
"25 per cent of the ministers of Amer
lea do not themselves maintain family
worship in their own homes"
"a wise teacher of ancient times
said: Give me a single domestic
grace and I will turn it into hundred

who had been absent from America
for 25 years, said when he came back

ception and not the rule
Causes Set Forth.
The causes for the decadence OF
family worship were set forth by the
speaker:
1.-THE quickening of a mans nat
ural tendency to skepticism, SO largely
induced in this day by subtle and
sometimes open attack on the funda-
mentals of his faith in press, IN
university and unfrequently in pulpit.
The first POINT at which spiritual
decay manifests Is invariably in the
neglect of family worship, if indeed it
even so much as held a place in the
life of the home.
"2.-The nervous, feverish rush OF
modern life as evidenced by the in
ordinate absorption in material inter-
ests. Modern life is dash through
crowd. A man hardly has time to
stop and tie his shoe-string. 1t is
race to keep pace with steam and elec-
tricity.
"3.-The disruption of the family
union" The latter was caused said
DR.. Biederwolf, first, by the prevail
ing method of education which prac-
tically removes boys and girls from
Immediate and continuous parental in
f1uence in spiritual things for period
running between the ages of seven
and 81 and second, by the excessive
pursuit Of pleasure.

all ones pleasures are found OUTSIDE

the standpoint just now under con
sideration must consequently suHer,
