Scolding Uncle Sam
 Uncle Sam, that mythical rel ative, who Is always hopping on somebody's neck, when they pil-t fer the pouches, use the mails to defraud, neglect paying income taxes, or put up a little still all of their own, is due a scolding by the vox populiars of this sec ton. Turn about Is fair play, and our Uncle should be punished for the havoc he's playing with the fish in the Warrior river.
 The government Is always willing, it seems. to help com munities stock their waters with fish. Yet the government comes along. dynamites for snags in the Warrior and knocks the finny tribe sky winding. John Wallace has brought federal officials to task for this once recently, but a friend. just back from camp ing trip on the Warrior, informs me that the dynamiting goes merrily on, with the casualty list for fish something enormous.
 It's imperative that the War rior should ultimately become snaglcss, but it has been pointed out that derricks could be em- ployed in the removal of snags. It's a little more tedious to de- snag a river by the latter means, but it should be done in order that the fish h-annihilation mi ght be stopped.

 Major league clubs always manage to take care of their old stars who have played out their days of usefulness. Nap Fucker, most famous of all the port wheelers, is an ivory-hunter for the Brooklyn club. Of course the pay check has undergone quite a shrinkage, but it helps out. Then, Nap was one of those boys who saved his money. He got in one world series tilt, and with the divvy, and what he had already saved from his earnings in the game, he bought farm near his old home in Alpharetta, Ga, and started placarding it with No Trespassing" signs against the boil weeVil.
