Washington, Feb. ,21.-"Inyesti-

Thus, the high cost of living is COW

resolutions, touching upon every
imaginable phase OF that problem.
The same is true of coal prices, ex-

Congress also is concerned with:

are never concluded. Again, there
are vestigations which have beer

Proving Value OF Birds.

The passage Of the migratory-bird
treaty act. 1t Is estimated, has result
ed in u toihi return, in actual food
value. to the hunters of the United
States, of more than S2O,OOO,OOO. StNte
officials have notified the biological
survey Of the United States Depart
Elent of Agriculture that in Minnesota
alone hunters report 2,O5S,4OO ducks
killed in 1910. As each Of these birds
may be considered to have food
value of ut least, IS cents, the total
return from then, in food to this one
state was about S1,5OOOOO. If it had
been possible to sell these birds, they
would have brought twice that
amount, The great value Of game to
the country il thus made evident.
