IT, The governments accounting to the American people of its stewardship of their wild animals and birds dur ing the past fiscal year, as exercised through the bureau of biological sur vey, United States department of agriculture, is contained in the bu- reau's annual report.

On the asset side of the balance sheet the total mounts; and the liabilities, thanks to the increasing efficiency and thor oughness of the governments super vision, are shrinking. Sketched in its high lights and dealing only with major facts and totals, the bureaus work during the past year shows among other things the following re- suits:
 A saving to farmers and stockmen of about $14,OOO,OOO during the year at cost of $1,345, ,22O-in the cam paign west of the Mississippi against wolves, lynxes and bobcats, coyotes, mountain lions, bears and rodents.

Serving of Cars Now
 Dealers New Problem


 Automobile ownership has reached such a figure in this country that the .servicing of cars has become truly a public service in every sense of the word, according to Art Gage of this city
 There are over 9,OO0.OOO,0CO cars running in the United States today, said Gage, and to keep them all run ming and in satisfactory condition is the gigantic task of the service men of this country.
 Public recognition of the responsi- bility of each dealer for the cars he sells is bringing about an evolution of automobile merchandising. Cars to sell is but one small feature of the modern dealer establishment The shrewd buyer looks further than the sa1esroom and satisfies himself. be- fore purchasing that the dealer can handle the added responsibility of new car on the road and new owner to satisfy.
 The new Maxwells, soon to be in Prescott for distribution by Art Gage are of the make and type of car that will assure the buyer of all the above and keep the owner in harmony with all business, and a better recommen- dation for any car cannot be given that satisfied feeling.

 to distinguish between true and false
 economy in the treatment of the dis abled and of disabled trainees.
 This Is the opinion of Judge Rob- ert s. Marx, commander of the Dis abled Veterans of the World War, as expressed by him in late issue of the Stars and Stripes, an independent paper for eX-servicc men. And this causes me to again insist that the problem Of compensation cuts, of service to the disabled here through the United States Veterans Bureau and other agencies, is up to the dis ab1ed men themselves. Teamwork, effective organization, and the main- tenance of a central, we'll informed office to look after these matters would cost those drawing $50 month or more not over 5O-cent piece month-four good smokes, one downtown meal.
 "To join both the American Le- zion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars organizations in this city would cost less per month than a dance And. believe me, the answer to wishes IS work, and unless the ex-service man shows some appreciation of the fact that he is in a country where those who organize and go after what they want are the ones who win out, those who served in the world war will wake up to find they have been left on the side lines, and will find it hard to get back to a place in the progress of the nation.
 Up to Veterans
 Tt is up to the disabled veterans i'll this community" said Roberts, to turn out to meetings, to be join CTS and stockholders as well. Also to get after the ex-soldiers at the hospital and in the city who are not disabled and get them into the or . ganizations doing their share of the workA This is not selfishness, nor seeking for class advantage: it is merely good citizenship.
 Have there been unwarranted cuts II compensation here? Sure there lave. Get 1t to the bureau, hammer md show why; and you can depend, he heads of the bureau will rectify he error, and take steps to not let happen again. But if the ex- ervice mems organizations show a lump in membership, then interests hat command more influence will aturally work the economy racket, nd force the bureau into straighten- d channels, and that will react on he men. It is up to the disabled to upport the organizations, for the eteranS' bureau needs and appreci- tes the backing and cooperation of le soldiers, and only by organiza- on can 1t be given"
