THE BUFFALO COMES BACK.

Just when we older people have become accus-
toned to the thought that the buffalo once so COM
mon in the United States is for all practical
purposes extinct, just when bringing up our
children to the idea that the nearest they will ever
to buffalo the picture of one in their school
geography it is announced highest authority that
this animal is multiplying SO fast in the Yellowstone
park region to have become problem.
We had formulated theories which explained to
a nicely the cause of the decline of the buffalo. We
had contented ourselves with the fact that due to
mans encroaching on the domains of this animal 1t
was now to be put into a class with the mastodon
and the four-toed horse. 1t would be only ques-
ton of time before the real article in the way of
buffalo robes would be gone from the face of the
earth,
To our amazement, however, we learn that the
herd In Yellowstone park Is increasing so rapidly
that even within this large it will be difficult
to get sufficient food for these animals when snow
covers grazing pastures in the winter There is
every indication that the increase will be continuous
in which event will be to transfer these
animals in great numbers to other parks
OF course, they will again become so nu-
merous as they in the days of Kit Carson Bur
falo Bill and Deadwood Dick. In those days the
western plains swarmed with these animals; even If
we literally discount what these have told us
of the abundance of buffaoes. are inclined to
believe that it must have been next to impossible to
shoot off rifle on the western plains without hit
ting half dozen buffaloes.
In those days buffaloes and buffalo hunting were
American institutions. The European who came to
look us over but dared not venture far enough into
the wild West to sight herd of buffaloes, had not
seen all of America. Let us hope that this animal
continues to increase so that in school geograph
les we need longer write under picture OF 1t the
sad legend almost extict."

aims of the conference, attempt to PREJUDICE its
conclusions II may fairly be construed as extremely
favorable to the end sought by President Harding
and the American government Ambassadors Her
ricks cable to Secretary Hughes reads: premier
BRAND authorizes to express through you to the
president his appreciation of the invitation to the
Washington conference on November IL and to say
to the president that he shall have great pleasure in
attending the conference in person as head of the
French delegation"
The example of France will doubtless be followed
by other nations anxious to obtain as significant a
representation as France. Lloyd George will probably
be the head of the British commissioners In short
it looks as though the gathering Of the powers at
the American capital will be invested with extra
ordinary significance and that it's deliberations and
conclusions will go down into history as one of the
most notable conferences of the nations held
since the dawn of the world.

mostly paid by the poor, and that the remnant does
not suffice for the needs of the treasury. The
greatest effect of these rich mems taxes Is to divert
funds from industry to exempt investments 1t is bet

DIsILLUSIoNED IN RUSSIA.

Reports from Reval tell of an increasing number
of arrivals there of observation-disclosures who were
deported from this country for their un-American-
ism. They are disusoned lot and their one am
bition is to return to the land they disgraced-an
ambition doomed to failure.
These deportees have had their eyes opened and
their stomachs emptied in Russia. Communism Ia
action is not communism in pleasant parlor discus
sion followed by refreshments. The old idol grows

shevsm is revealed in its hideous reality.

more it gives the impression of being a matchlesJ

demonstration to prove how wild his ideas Of gov

of any war, much less the world war, but it is not

The horror stories which finding their way

Of the sufferers in the famine districts Of Russia are
painfully detailed down to the lack of facial clean.

100000 people starving in Russia there is less

historians that if conditions what they represent
soap would be snapped for something to ward off
death from starvation Today's explorers of Russia's
famine districts believe that If the starving have
nothing to eat at least they might keep their clothes
we'll brushed and their faces well shined with soap.
