any pleasure in reviewing my own

But the explosion of criticism against

this opportunity to reply for myself

EIlmer Smith drove out n home

Elmer for failing when he tried?
The Giants certainly made mis-

vet some say he "fell down."
In one game he did make great
mistake by lOafins on q ball he
had hit to Bancroft. Ninety-nine
times out of hundred Ban

base runner has the right to loaf
no matter how little chance he
seems to have. As 1t developed.
Bancroft threw wide to Kelly
and Bob would have been safe
had he hustled. Bob knows he
WAS wrong and feels Il badly.
But Il was the only blunder he
made.

CATCHES DUCKS
WITH FISHLINE

Most of the stories of successful
hunting and fishing trips are made
in the dead of Winter around the
warm firesides and some mighty in
teresting stories can be heard when
three or four old sportsmen gather
together around the stove. drawing
on their memories, each attempting
to Guido the other. The following
story was told the other night and
carries us back to our boyhood days
when we matched our wits against
the wise crow of eastern States.
Down in the Humbolt valley, be-
low Winnemucca, warm springs keep
the sloughs open during the Winter
months and here the wild mallards
gather by the hundreds waiting for
the Spring thaw, They are wise old
birds and 1t is almost impossible for
the hunter to get within gunshot
range. But 1t remained for a youth
full sportsman to outsmart them. He
sprinkled corn at one of the favorite
duck resorts until the birds learned
to feed without suspicion. Then he
took a heavy fishline, and attached a
half dozen hooks a few feet apart,
batting each hook with a kernel of
corn. The next morning all he had
to do was to walk down to where he
had his line anchored, and haul in
his catch, always getting a bird ON
each hook.-Elko Free Press.

Hold on to your cattle and sheep"
was the advice given by George Rus
sell. Jr.. president of the Nevada
Live Stock Association, in his adj
dress at the opening of the third an
nual meeting Of the association at
Reno Friday. says the Reno Gazette.
SHORTAGE OF STOCK
THE man who keeps every COW and
sheep that he can will not be sorry"
he declared after pointing out that
the live stock population of the coun-
try has decreased nearly so per cent
during the past 20 years while the
population of the country has in
creased over 10000. 900 in the same
period.
The live stock population in the
United States in 1900 was 67,17s,-
40 beef cattle. not including dairy
stock, while in 1920 there were but
3~5,424.45S head showing a decrease
of approximately 3~2,294.o0O. In the
same period the number of sheep de-
creased from 61.503,000 to 34,sS4,-
OOO-an astounding decrease OF near
" so per cent, hardly to be realized,
but now commencing to be felt.
BUY HAY OR CATTLE
"If you have more hay than you
have cattle. buy cattle. II you have
more cattle than you have hay. buy
| hay land. The same p~retains to
| sheep. Try and avoid sacrificing
your flock. There are many possible
ways to solve this problem. In Ne
| vada 1t is difficult to determine the
| number of cattle at present, but 1t is
| stated on good authority that the cat
| tie in Nevada have decreased 30 per
| cent in the past five years with a con-
| siderable reduction, also, in the num-
| Der of sheep"
Mr.. Russell urged the forming of
county live stock associations stating
| that they we're the back bone of an
| effective State organization and that
such organizations were absolutely
| necessary in the live stock business
IL the business was to compete sue

The committee also recommended
that that section Of the Transports
ton act guaranteeing certain return
to the railroads be repealed and that
the 20 per tent reduction In live
stock freight rates granted for long
hauls be extended to short hauls and
further that the rights of States to
regulate their own intra-state busf-
ness with respect to freight rates be
recognized.
The work of the biological survey
in the coyote and rodent extermina-
ton campaign was endorsed; the work
of the bureau of animal industry in
stamping out sheep scabies and tub
erculosis given endorsement and
praise and the Southern Pacific Rail-
road thanked for reducing grazing
fees on railroad lands.
The resolutions express opposition
to the proposal to transfer the public
land of the country to ex-service men
as a bonus on che ground that one
third of the public land Of the coun-
try is in Nevada, and that by trans
ferring IL to the ex-service men that
the cattlemen in the end would be
forced to buy it for range purposes.
This resolution also recommended
that dual State and Federal control
of the grazing on the lands be in
stituted.
