HUNTING SEASON CASUALTIES

The casualties of the hunting sea-
son are beginning to pour in. SO far
New York state leads with record Of
nine persons killed and nine injured
as the result OF hunting accidents dur
ing the month of October.
Most of the accidents reported were
the result of carelessness. Eight of
the nine deaths resulted from guns
accidentally discharged. Two hunters
were shot by being mistaken for part
ridges and anCther when taken for a
deer.
Accidents, fatal or otherwise, incur
red In hunting can seldom be classed
as unavoidable. Many times they can
hardly be classed as excusable. They
occur either because of ignorance or
because men who are cautious amid
the safe surroundings of everyday life
will handle a gun as IL 1t were a
clothes pole instead of deadly wea-
pom when they get out into the woods

INDUSTRIAL coMPLExiTY

Modern life, as Edison laments, Is
becoming dreadfully complex, so COM
plex that we can never be quite sure
what the effect of any apparently sim.
pie law or decision is going to be.
There is that decision Of Judge An
derson in Indianapolis, forbidding the
use of funds supplied by the United
Mine Workers to finance the organi.
cation of coal miners in West Virgin.
ia. Any thoughtful person can think
oif-hand Of half dozen possible re.
suits which might defeat the very pur.
pose professed Is the Indianapolis de-
cision. That decision undertakes, for
instance, to uphold the principle OF
free competition in the central oom
petitive field" on the part of the West
Virginia coal mines; but how Is com
petition going to benefit II the miners
are so angered by the decision that
they walk out of all the mines?
Another little kink: II 1t Is wrong
for outside miners to contribute their
money to support uni0nism in Wes
Virginia coal fields, Is 1t right for out
side mineowners, the United States
Steel Corporation and others, to con
tribute their money to oppose union
ism In West Virginia?

There is strong probability that
this sum may receive still other addi-
tiOns, as each of the colonels reported
expectations of receiving returns on
Wednesday or possibly even later.

In talk full of pep and enthusiasm
Mr.. B. b. Williams gracefully and
happily indicated how much OF the
success of the effort was due to the
plans made by the chairman OF the ex'
ecutive committee, Mr. George Israel,
He suggested and called for three
cheers to be given as an appreciation
of Mr.. Israel's efforts In putting over
the campaign. These were given with
will. Mr. Williams also commented
on the objective being reached when
the first report was made.
Chairman Israel modestly denied
that anything at all was due to MIN
and that all the praise and credit are
due to the splendid teams and their
willing leaders.
Mr. Williams also gave credit to 'he
newspapers whose cooperation and
support had contributed In no small
way to the success OF the campaign.
On his motion, the thanks of the
workers were extended to the two pa
pers of Mt. Vernon. Finally, Col.
Kahrl was given special vote OF
thanks for the splendid effort he and
his division had put forth bringing in
the largest sum credited to any one
division.

ENoLlsH.sPEAkINo MOSCOW

English Is the foreign language
most commonly heard In Moscow to-
day. 1t is used freely in governmental
departments and throughout the city.
At least the language of light and de-
mocracy Is making headway. whatev'
er may be true of the principles.
Many refugees from the old czarist
regime, who had been living in Amer
lea or England, returned to Russia
when the revolution offered them
promise of safety. TO this number of
English.speaking people were added
the deported aliens from America and
large numbers from both America and
England who believed that the COM
munist idea would work, and who
wanted to live where 1t was being
tried out. Many of these people, be-
cause of their education and expert
ence, have been chosen for public po'
sItions and have continued naturally
the habit OF using English.
II is an interesting leaven which
cannot help but work through the
whole Russian lump. As a knowledge
of English spreads It will be much
harder for the soviet authorities to
convince the people with lies In their
own tongue about the intentions and
policies OF the English-speaking ma
tions. Even now they are finding II
difficult to keep them convinced that
true freedom exists under soviet rule

Campaign Comes To Splen-
did And Gratifying Close
On Tuesday Evening
FINAL REPORTS ARE
MADE BY DIVISIONS
Effort Is Notable For That
Objective Was Reached
AT First Report

Reporting a grand total of pledges
for the Home for the Aged amounting
to $7,1o6.T5, the nine teams engaged
in the campaign for that splendid in
stitution closed their labors on Tues
day evening with a final session held
at the Chamber of Commerce at 1880.
During the afternoon the workers
on the several teams, under the direc.
tion of Colonels Daney, Taylor and
Kahrl, had continued their efforts,
having been aroused to high pitch
of enthusiasm by the reports that had
been made at the noon dinner session
The summary of the reports made
by the commanders of divisions at
that time showed the following sums
Fcredited to the three divisions:
Col. Taylor ....... 1,914.50
Col. Kahrl ........ 1,845.0O
Col. Daney .......... 1,39S.50
These figures, while necessarily in
complete because of lack of reports
by individual workers on prospects,
unreported pledges and incorrect ad-
ditions, nevertheless had the com
bined effect of greatly stimulating the
workers to still greater efforts. They
saw the opportunity before them of
adding very material sum to the
endowment fund of the Home, and
went forth to secure it. How effect
lively they worked during the after
noon the final reports indicate more
clearly than can any eulogy, spoken
or printed.
Reporting by divisions as at the
noon session. the totals are:

FEW SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS
WILL STOP FLOCK LOSSES.

BY practicing few simple precau.
lions livestock shippers can do much
TO eliminate the enormous losses in
stock, especially hogs, which occur
during hot weather, according to men,
bers Of the Animal Husbandry Depart
ment of the College Of Agriculture.
Hogs should be hauled or driven to
the shipping station in ample time to
allow them to become rested and cool
before loading after which they may
be loaded into cars that are clean and
bedded with sand, clay or earth. The
bedding and interior of the car should
be thoroughly danpened before the
car is loaded Feeding the animals a
heavy feed of grain before they are
shipped results in more body heat be-
ing generated.
The stock to be shipped should be
loaded not more than one hour before
the train is to depart and should be
loaded slowly and carefully. care be
ing taken to avoid exciting or bruis-
ing the animals. Not more than $4,000
pounds of fat hogs should be placed in
one car but 10000 pounds of stock
hogs may be placed in a standard So
foot car during war weather. Water
applied to the bedding in the. car at
available points will be found help
full in preventing the, animals from
becoming overheated. ice should be
used on the floor CT the car whenever
possible. Care should be taken to see
that water is not thrown directly on
the hogs after they become heated. In
stead 1t should be run on the floor of
the car under the hogs.

HARD DEMOCRATIC TIMES
TO BE SOON DISSOLVED
Protective Tariff Expected to Again
Prove To Country II Means
Prosperity.

Washington, d. C. Members OF
Congress who are studying the new
tariff act In the making are convinced
that 1t will restore prosperity after
the economic depression which natur-
ally resulted from the tarIff-for-reve-
nue. policies OF the Wilson administra-
ton.
These members have examined the
1 records and are convinced that the
tariff works with the exactness OF the
law Of cause and effect In It's relation
TO good and bad times in the United
States. Under the Wilson tariff the
country suffered from a prolonged fin
ancial panic during the Cleveland ad-
ministration. Under the Mckinley pro-
tcctive tariff there was abundant pos
'peritq. This was continued under the
schedules Of tho Payne-Aldrich law
But during the first seven months Of
operation of the Underwood act in the
first year Of the Wilson adminstra-
ton soup kitchens were the rule.
Longer Industrial idlencss was pre-
vented by the declaration Of war be-
tween England and Germany, because
this raised a tariff wall which was so
high that importations were impossi-
BILE. With our own market secure and
trade in all goods needed in war-rack-
ed Europe, our prosperity was uncX-
amplod. But with the armistice the
wall was removed and the country was
again left to the protectionless rates
of the Underwood law. Foreign goods
entered the country without stint. The
