MarshalYs Answers to Nimrods.

Question: have seen in the pa
pers a number of articles stating
that some states were legislating
against shooting water fowl from
Aeroplanes. Has there been any
slaughters reported in excess of the
bag limit? Frank McLain.
Lansing, Mich
Answer-It is a strict violation Of
the federal migratory bird treaty
act to shoot at or pursue water
fowl with an aeroplane. Several
states have also passed laws to
this effect, 1t is suggested that
secretary Of Agriculture grant per-
mission to use aeroplanes in pre-
vention Of water fowls damaging
grain crops in different sections.
Rice growers claim they are in
many instances damaged financially
by the presence of ducks in their
fields. This claim, in many in
stances, is utilized to secure spe-
cial permits to shoot or hunt dur
ing the closed season. This right,
when granted, is Immediately farm
ed out to friends or moneyed ap-
plicants-a strict violation of the
law legalized by special dispense
ton from bureau of biological sur.
vey or secretary of agriculture. The
cessation Of rice raising does moi
strike me as being threatened BY
the game hazard to any greater ex.
tent than the raising Of corn will
be on account of the presence and
maintenance of Jim Crow. Many
aeroplanes are now Individually
owned by wealthy residents Of Cal.
ifornia. A game killing concession
to be utilized in the rice swamps
would SAVIOR of class legislation te
the extent that it would occasion
much discomfort with sportsmen
whose finances keep them on terra
firma. Let wild game visitations be
considered one of the legitimate
hazards of rice raising or possibly
arrangements could be made for
reasonable compensation in case OF
crop destruction. The legal limit
Of birds has never been filled from
an aeroplane, to my knowledge.
! Question-Has there been any
convictions under the federal mi
gratory bird treaty act? c. r. E.
i Nashville, Tenn.
| Answer-The biological survey
report 178 convictions under date OF
| Nov. a., 1919. with final perfec-
ton OF the organization for aggres-
sive prosecution.

solved Dennis pulling change Of
race yesterday afternoon and the
Rock Island star boxman had his
first defeat Of the season checked
AGAINST him. His offerings were
found for Q total Of II base knocks,
which produced nine runs. The
anal score was 8 to 3 against the
islanders.
Manager Tighe OF the Islanders
was handicapped because he did
not have a relief pitcher to send in
IN the third inning when Rockford
commenced to solve Dennis. The
Jumping of Ben Jones, from who
much was expected in Three-Eye
circles, leaves the Islander manager
with only three pitchers, SO Tighe
was forced to allow Dennis to
travel the entire route and be
slaughtered.
The batting Of Pearce and Brant
for Rockford was feature, as was
also the fielding Of Gallegos and
Pearce.
The islanders gave Dennis a
three-run lead in the first two in
nings and had he been right it
would undoubtedly have been suf-
hcient to win the contest. In the
first Murphy famed but Jones sim
gled to center field. The blow
went through Schollenberger and
Jones took third. Benson uncork-
ed a double against the left field
fence, scoring Jones. Ben Smith
skied to first. Griffin, making his
initial appearance in an Islander
Uniform, singled to center, scoring
Benson.
With one gone in the second
Dixon went to second on Hauk' 5

reached third on Dennis out at first
and scored when Hill fumbled Muir

In the third Rockford got started.
Hill walked and Pearce singled to
right. Schollenberger flied out but
Brant beat out a grounder to Muir
ply. A. Smith skied but Gigsby
singled to left, scoring Hill and
Pearce. Brant and Ribsby worked
double steal, the former scoring.
In the fourth, Hauke walked,
Glumsh singled to left and Hanks
was forced at third by Hill. Pearce
singled over second, filling the
bases. Schollenberger was retired
on line fly to Jones but Brant
came through with a triple to right
center, scoring three men. He
scored on Smiths single to left.
A safe bunt by Hill and a triple
by Pearce, followed by a single by
Bfant gave the locals two in the
eighth. Score:

Are you burning coal to warm your
house or outdoors? The high cost Of
heating the modern home, the coal
shortage and increased prices means
that every shovel full of coal in your
furnace must give forth its house-heat
ing equivalent.
The War Savings Division of the
United States Treasury in accordance
with its national thrift campaign has
rhade the following timely suggestions
on how to save fuel in heating.
Keep the temperature of the house at
CO degr ees. Save heat by using wealth
er strips. storm windows, storm doors
and drawing shades. Do not heat I'M
used rooms Cover heaters and heat
carrying pipe with asbestos. In TAX
care of the heater keep it clear from
SCOT and ashes. Rel air al leaks.
Learn to use hampers effectively
The smokepipe should have two
hampers, the check draft damper and
the turn damper. The check draft dam
per controls the rate at which a fire
burns; open it to check a fire; close
it to increase the draft. Learn to use
it so that it will do it's work. If it is
properly constructed and managed you
can check the fire with it without
opening the coaling door.
The turn damper fits loosely SO thai

Handling the Household Income
STARTING THE NEW YEAR RIGHT.
Ry S. AGNES DOMAIN

The first of the year means
bills to so many of us that we
lose the cheer of the Christmas
season far too quickly. Why
must the first of the year and
bills come together? Is it not
possible to get rid of the bills
and have in mind only happiness
at the beginning of the New
Year?
Let us study the problem of family
expenses now and see if we are not
successful in so distributing the bills
that there will be no time of pressure
when next January comes. With
knowledge of just what the income is
to be, it is comparatively easy to plan
to lay aside a certain amount each
month as a sinking fund for the bills
which do not come in regularly. A
$50 coal bill means that five dollars of
each months wages laid aside will pay
for the coal when it is due A ten
dollar a month fund will provide for a
1920 insurance payment and taxes are
lot anywhere near as much of burden
If met by setting aside small portions
regularly as when the whole amount
is demanded from the income of a
single month.

gases may pass off even when it Is
closed In most heaters the damper
should be kept closed except when
starting the fire, otherwise most of
the heat goes UP the chimney.
The damper in tie coalinG door
should be used only to let in air to con-
sumo gases that are formed, especially
when soft coal is used.
The ash-pit damper admits air neces-
sary for the ignition of the coal or
wood Regulate the air supply by the
damper-not by opening the ash-ptt
door.
In building a fire close hampers, re-
move ashes, put in crumpled news
paper cover with kindlings laid cross
wise, add a thin layer of coal, open
the ash pit and smoke pipe hampers
and light the fire.
For good heating, regular care Of a
fire is NEEDED, attend it from two to four
times q day. In adding a large amount
of coal, leave part of the glowing fire
exposed. Clean the ash pits daily
Keep the fire pot full Better heat is
obtained if the fuel is kept even with
the fire door in front and little high
er in the back.
Fuel saved is money saved and
money grows when put into War Saw

GREENFIELD, Mass. Jan. ia
corporation with a capital stock of
$250,000 to be known as the Greenfield
housing corporation, has been organ
lied by local business men.
The stock is all common, the par
value is 800, and before the organi-
2ation was complete, subscriptions to
the amount of SOB, 400 had been re-
ceived. The meeting was called by j..
w. Stevens, president of the chamber
of commerce, who introduced Leslie H..
Allen of Springfield, connected with
the Fred T. Ley company and an expert
on quantity construction of houses.
He said that the construction of 100
more homes for working men here
would enable the factories to increase
their production by $2,000000 per year
The officers chosen were: Directors, f.
w. Burnham, Charles w. Minis, G. A.
Sheldon, L. NJ Lamb, G. Nj. Lawrence
William A. Davenport and c. ID. Sev-
crance, this board organized immedi
ately with F. w. Burnham, president
| f. n. Thompson, treasurer, and B. H
| Bonnar, secretary. Among the stocl
subscriptions, the Greenfield tap anC
die corporation, through its president
F. H. Payne, took 800 shares and Mr.
Payne s personal subscription was .
shares. Mrs. Bride Spaight, loea
merchant, 30 shares; Greenfield electri
light and power company, 100, and W
| A. Davenport. 40 shares.
The idea is to build homes and sci
or rent to working men on some cas-
plan to relieve the acute housing sit
uation.
