DON'T BUY ELK
teeth, PLEA OF
APARTMENT NOW
Ruthless Hunters Extract
Teeth and Leave Rest of
Animal; Protection is
Wanted.

Don't buy elk teeth for watch charms
stick pins or other ornaments, lie the
plea OF the department of agriculture,
for the price OF each pair OF such teeth
is the life of member OF the countrys
small and fast diminishing herds
They are very pretty ornaments. and
so far many years have been used by
Indians, especially the squaws, for that
purpose,l but the difference is that the
Indians used only the teeth from ami
mails slaughtered for food and their
hides, while the white man kills the
elk. extracts the two teeth and wastes
the rest.
Thousands OF bull elk have been killed
in the Yellowstone Park region by hunt.
ers who illegally poach upon the gov
ernment preserves, and, despite the vig.
lance OF rangers and guards. shoot down
the elk In all seasons, merely for the
teeth. The fashion Of wearing these
bits or bone as watch charms, cuff
links, stickp pins, and hat pins has been
steadily growing as the once vast
heards Of elk dwindle and vanish and
are threatened with entire extinction,
according TO the Biological Survey The
hunters receive high prices for the
teeth.
few years ago the wearing Of aig-
rettes for hat trimming threatened the
annihilation Of one OF our most beau.
tiful birds. but through aroused public
opinion q halt was caused in time to
save the birds. Unless the market for
elk teeth is curbed before 1t ID too late,
1t is declared, it will mean the exter.
mination OF our elk, the most magnif.
cent % deer A fuller understanding
OF the distory and price paid for elk
teeth will have an influence in depreci.
ating the market and thus removing the
incentive for this wanton slaughter, the
department feels.
