Annual Christmas Meeting.

The annual Christmas meeting
of the Wayside club was held Sat
urday, Dec. II, at the home OF
Mertie Tucker. A most bountiful
chicken dinner was served at 6:3o
by the club ladies to their members
and husbands.
Each year it is thought by the
club members and friends that
their little hostess could not pre-
pare a better program, but this
year she seemed to do that which
they had believed was not possible,
and everyone appeared to thoroly
enjoy it really more than ever be-
fore, if that is within the range OF
possibility.
The next meeting of the club
will be held the second Wednes-
day in January with Mrs. Rant
Satchwell. &C.

DETERMINATION FACES ELK
HERD IN YELLOWSTONE PARK

Have the majority Of the elk in
Yellowstone National Park died from
natural causes, or been killed during
the year, or are they hiding in some
retreat deep in the mountains? This
question is worrying the Abrasoka
National Forest, for on ranges were
ordinarily thousands Of these animals
could be seen, only a very few have
been observed this winter.
Just why this is 50. no one seems to
know. One theory is that the open
fall and winter has caused the elk to
remain back in the highest and most
inaccessible portions of the park Open
fall in the past, however. has not
caused the elk to abandon their Gus
toms or haunts.
Wether the actual number com
prising the Yellowstone band have
been greatly lowered during the past
year or not, say officials of the United
States Department of Agriculture, il
is at least true that shrinkage of the
Yellowstone herd during the past FIVE
years have been alarming.
In 1914 estimates of the Yellowstone
herds by those in touch with the situa-
ton, are true, there remains much less
than half this number. In 1919, $500
