Poles Get Rich Coal Mines
Germans Given Turnip Land

A German trade-unionist and
representative in the Reichstag from
| Upper Silesia has expressed his
| opinion OF the partition OF the pIep-
iscite area in accordance with the
plan OF the council OF the league In
this fashion: The turnIps for the
| Germans: the mines for the Poles
This in general represents the feel
ings OF Germans regarding the coun-
ellis decision, for in spite OF the
fact that two-thirds of the plebis-
cite district will go 20 Germany,
two-thirds OF the undeveloped min
eral wealth of the area will 60 TO
Poland.
No one has yet published a map
which would show just where the
line Of division will run, and there
has been no definite statement OF
the arrangements which the counciI
has recommended to prevent the
collapse Of the economic structure
OF the industrial triangle which
might result from this partition.
But from preliminary reports and
the statistics which have been pre-
pared to prove the justice or the
injustice OF the decision IL 10 posi-
BILE to extract q few figures which
are significant.
Germany Gets Two-Thirds-
As has already been stated, two
thirds Of the plebiscite area goes
to Germany. II will be recalled that
the piebiscite vote showed seven
elevsnths Of the population in favor
Of union with Germany and four
elevenths In favor OF union with
Poland. German experts estimate
that by the councils decision Ger
many will lose 81 per cent OF the
anthracite production OF Upper 81.

so per cent Of the total German
production. The Industrial loss C

spondents was that Of the three
cities of Beuthen. Konigschuett,
and Rattowitz. These cities, &C.
cording to the chancellor, voted 81
per cent in favor OF Germany. Eco.

Russian Children.

The Moscow Prdpdd has published
an article by II. Vladimirski which
gives some striking facts regarding
the appalling condition Of Russian
children in the Volga districts
where the American relief admins
tration has recently begun its child
FEEDING action. In this article vlad-
imirski declared that the largest
number Of children in need Of re-
lief are those without homes. The
state institutions charged with the
care Of such children are hopelessly
insufficient At sarama In August
an average Of 200 children were
collected from the streets daily,
About 10 per cent Of these were
sick. On August I the Children's
Homes Of the Commissariat OF In
struction held about $4,000 chill
dren. A fortnight later that number
had increased to $4,000. The state
Institutions In the government of
Saratov texcepting the city Of sara
tow held $4,000 children: in the
government OF Tsaritsyn 10000: in
the government Of Astrakhan 1000.
Parents take their children to the
towns and cities and leave them in
the streets. In samara during Aug.
ust about fifteen children were left
by parents each day In state instI-
tutions. Children do not get sum
Client clothing and footwear and
frequently die in the streets. As
there are not enough children's

Tips on Trapping
By Old Bill Trapper

In making your preparations for
trapping be systematic. Make a spe-
cial trip of inspection over the -
ritory you intend to trap in, look for
new tracks and signs, and accur-
ately locate all dens and runways
on a rough mai so you will know
exactly where you are going to make
your sets.
If other trappers are going to
have outlines in your locality, make
some friendly arrangement with
them SO that your operations will
not conflict.
In planning your trap line there
is, no need 10 try to cover the
whole country with traps; don't
make your trapping too extensive.
You should arrange your sets SO
that you can visit each trap near
~ every day.
If you trapping is intensive and
you've got good territory, there is
no waste OF time and effort on
your part.
Make an accurate estimate now OF
the number Of traps you will need
then count the number you have or
hand put them in good working
condition, and then order all other
traps and supplies for your outfit
Immediately.
Then boil ali your traps, new and
old in walnut mixture or bury fol
a week in barnyard manure to re-
move all odors that might frighter
away the animals
Do all this before the trapping
season Opens-be ready when thu
| time comes to trap.
