rRAPPERs WARNED 70
TAKE IN THEIR 1RAp0

Now that the trapping season -
closed, the Conservation Department
Ct Louisiana has issued warning to
trappers that they must take UP the
traps In the runs and store them
against the opening Of the next sea-
con, beginning November /. Those
who wish to observe the law can have
no purpose in leaving traps In the runs
for they have NO right to catch fur
bearing animals now. and the leaving
out Of traps may cause other trappers
to believe they ere flagrantly and In
tentionally violating the law.
When the trapping law was enacted
those engaged in the business looked
askance at its provisions. and resented
any interference by the State with
what they regarded - their immemo-
rial right to take wild creatures 1t their
pleasure But each season has brought
conversions, until now there are few
Intelligent trappers In the State who
do not recognize that the law = -
much in their interest - 4 10 n tho
interest Of tho community at large.
Under tho restriction Of time they get
better fur and hence better prices. and
cave found that By giving the animals
q chance to breed and rear their young
they can secure more high grade fur
n . season than they formerly could
take Of l0w-grade fur. Indeed, In some
sections petitions are being circulated
among trappers asking that the season
begin November Is, Or - late % D..
esmber /, instead Of November /.
Cpnservationdsts may differ ~ to
the advisability Of the change. but
there IL q unAnimity Of opinion that
the law a. II stands, Il generally en-,
forced, will ensure . perpetu1ty Of the |
fur supply. And the lew II being more
and more generally observed. because |
trappers have come to SEQ the advanEr |
age to themselves Of ito enforcement,
and are lending assistance to the Con
in checking up violations.

FUR PRODUCING AREAS
CREATED ~ THE SAW

Much mental effort has been expsnd-
Cd in recent years In the solution Of
the problem Of the use Of cut oven
lands in the South. An experienced
trapper, who knows every rod Of
ground In the territory north and west
Of Lakes Maurepes and Pontchartrain,
at q recent visit to the Conservation
Department, declared that nature had
settled that problem in the section
with which he IL acquainted. The cut
ting Of timber in the bcttoms and
swampy sections surrounding these
two lakes, he says, 10 becoming pro-
ductive 1t once by reason Of the occu-
paticn Of the dsnuded land by fur-bear-
Ing animalA When the trees are cut
there Immediately springs up dense
underground that makes IN ideal resi-.
dence for coon. mink, otter and other
Wild creatures that afford rich returns
to the trappers Of the section. The
importance OF this occupation can be
seen when 1t IL stated that one trapper
this last season made $500 net in the
three months Of trapping. This sum
WAS reaped without the investment Of
any capital except about 800 expended
for traps and bait. The merchant 10

RAIL MANAGERS RUSH

OF SOUTHERN INDIANA
(Bv United Pressl

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 25.-Coal cars
were being rushed to the southern In
diana mining regions today from all
parts of the state to care for the after
strike market and relieve the fuel fam
inc.
Railroads operating in Indiana with
branches into the coal fields were mus
tering every serviceable car on their
lines to withstand the heavy drain on
their equipment.
The demand for coal in every Sec
ton of the state is acute, with some
industries and utilities already closed,

which recently bought the Indiana coal
road from Brazil to Montezuma, re
ports itself ready to increased mining
activity.
State officials were preparing to turn
their thumbs down on any attempt to
boost prices to pay owners for the
time their mines were idle.
Some disagreement is said to have
arisen over the base price of coal al

operators controlling half of Indiana's
production today in conference with
the public service commission insist
ed that $3.50 a ton for mine run coal
at the mines would be a fair price.
but the commission suggested $3.50,
and afterward proposed S4.
No agreement was reached, but the
$3.50 price was regarded by the op-
orators as insuring 100 per cent com
pliance on the part of mine owners.
John McCardle. chairman Of the
public service commission, told the
operators that the commission was
without power to fix a price, out he
indicated plainly that the commission
may undertake control of the diatribu

Defeated Legislators
Grouchy; Rep. Herrick
Declares Voters Dumb
PALLADIUM NEWS BUREAU

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The po-
litical atmosphere of Washington at
this time is humid from the grouches
developed during various primary cleo
tion contests which have been held in
various parts of the country in recent
weeks.
Manuel Herrick. a Republican rep
resentative from Oklahoma, who has
gained considerable notoriety from
his eccentricities, is peeved at his en-
tire constituency for his recent defeat
for denomination. He says that most
of the voters in his district are
dumb" but, it is said. the opinion he
holds of them is mild in comparison
to what many of them think of him.
Percy E. Quin, Democrat, who rep
resents a Mississippi district, blames
one of his former clerks for the mar
row escape he had from being de
feated for denomination, and when he
returned to Washington this week he
went on the warpath after his former
assistant and found him working as a
stenographer in the office of Repre-
sentative Steagall, of Alabama.
Ordered Clerk Out
Witnesses to what took place at the
meeting state that Quin ordered the
man to beat it," seized him by the
arm and led him to police headquar
ters in the house office building. The
| object of Quin's wrath was then ex
PEELED from the building, and, 1t is
said, Representative Steagall approves
/ the action taken by his Mississippi
colleague. Quin asserts that his for
| mer clerk wanted to be his secretary
and when that office was given to an
/ other the clerk got even" by circulat
! ing propaganda in Quin's district tha
! nearly cost Quin his job.
Friends of Rep. Phil Campbell o
Kansas, chairman of the powerful
rules committee, blamed his recent de
