All Due to the Women.

In a lecture before the Royal in
stitute, Prof. Arthur Keith, an emf
nent biologist, gave the credit for
American success to the women who
came over with the Pilgrim fathers.
The fact that these EngIiShmeD
brought their wives with them is re

condition Of the American people !;
Central an1 South America left their
wives behind. and the result is a
hybrid race which Is not the equal Of

Buffalo Herds Increasing.
]. s. Department Of Agriculture reader.

U. s. Department Of Agriculture reader
The American Bison Society reports
that in January, 1920, there were 1898
wild and tame buffalo in the United
States. This encouraging report sets at
rest the very real fear that existed
not long ago lest the native buffalo,
which once roamed the western plains,
would soon become extinct.
OF the nine goyernment-owned herds,
two of the largest under the care Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture are located in the Wichita ma
tional game preserve, Oklahoma. and
on the national bison range ut Dixon.
Mont. The herd on the Wichita pre-
serve now numbers 154, including
twenty-eight calves of this year. In.
this herd four bulls and twelve cows
are ten years Of age or over and one
COW is twenty mine years old. The fif-
teen animals that constituted The orig
inal Wichita herd came from the New
York Geological Park
In accordance with the provisions,
made by the 1919 appropriation bill for
their care, 1t is planned this year to
dispose Of some of the surplus buffalo
In the government herds. Public parks
and municipalities are the largest pat
rons. By distributing the animals over
the country, II disease or misfortune
overtakes the main herds, there still
win be stock left with which groups
could be built UP, again.
The buffalo In the United States
have increased about 800 per cent in
twelve years IN 1908 there were 1116
wild and tame huffalo In this country !;
at the beginning Of 1920 there were
1893. This is due to the fact that sew
eral years ago, when the Pablo herd in
Montana, belonging to Michel Pablo, a
half-breed Indian, was for sale, the
Canadian Government bought the anil
/ mails, sufficient interest not being ex-
hibited by Americans at that time to
make 1t possible to retain them lii this
country. The total number Of wild and
tame buffalo on the North American
Continent at present is probably more
than 5000 head.

CONDUCTS SALE,
TO HAVE STORE

In hope of being able to have
her little daughter Antoinette with
her again, Margaret Puma, crippled
more than ten years ago, is con-
Quoting q fancy goods sale at the
Y. w. C. A. In the years that Mar
garet was confined to st. Anthony
hospital and more recently to her
home, she has crocheted, embroid-
cred and knitted many beautiful ar
ticles.
Margaret is now living with her
sister at 1913 Eleventh street, but
dissatisfied because her daughter,
who was born some months after
the shooting, is away from her, she
is conducting the sale in order TO
raise enough money to rent a store
where she and Antoinette may live
and operate a fancy goods business.
Prizes at county fairs and othel
exhibitions have been won by Mar,
garet for her wonderful work The
pieces on sale at the Y w. c. A.
are reasonably priced and special
smaller articles are being made so
that they will serve as Christmas
gifts. Margaret is unable to leave
her home, and spends all her time
in working, moving about on her
wheel chair.
