TOCONSERVE CAME l
 IS WORTHY TASK
Ice Broken For Conservation With Local Clubs
 Organized

Montgomery. July 14.-(Special)- By the organization of a fishing and hunting club at Tuscaloosa through the efforts of officers of the Alabama Fishermen and Hunt CTS association, the first step has been taken in campaign to combat the forces which are destroying our natural resources. making barren our streams and obliterating our game.
 President Oliver and some of tho active members of the association will go to Sylacauga on July IS and organize another unit, and other communities which have the good of sport and preserving natural re- sources at heart are corresponding with the local organization, whic1 now has strength of more than 1000 members.
 Mny Affiliate
 Whether these clubs affiliate as members of the Alabama Fishermen and Hunters association will be de- termined later, possibly at the meet ing Of sportsmen called for Septem- Der at Montgomery by Conservation Commissioner Quinn, to decide upon legislative program. The officers and members of the local association are entirely disinterested, in that they are solely actuated by a desire to see the conservationists and sportsmen of the state organized to resist the widespread vandalism ar waste of Alabama's natural re- sources; they are working for pro- gram of construction. for a stocking of barren waters. for Q stopping of pollution of waters, for protecting the game and prevention of seining and dynamlting. It can only be done effeetually where there is strong local sentiment and the fishermen. sportsmen and lovers of the great outdoors combine to do upbuilding and preservation.
 Promote Longevity
 There is no more important work facing the state. It is not merely a matter of sentiment. nor of a desire to catch fish and hunt game. Science has shown that the man or woman who spends as much time as possible out of doors in the simple and beau tiful pleasures there to be founi. lives longer, better. more happily than the person who does not. Mere aimless wandering about in the woods does not rejuvenate or in- terest; if there is an objective, such as fishing or hunting, then the full benefit of being out is received. h. eluded in the program Is conserva- ton in it's brtadest sense-of natural beauties of scenery, of other natural resources. of improvement of conditions in every way
 There should be A branch of tha Alabama Fishermen and Hunters aa- sociation in every community, and by affiliating under one joint broad ef- fort. much of real preservation. re- storation and rebuilding can be ac- complished. The years record h Jefferson county Is abundant proof of the worth of such force"

Finds Much of 1t Worthless But Pays
Him About $4,000 for It-Row Over
His Estate, Which Is Large One
Was Great Miser.
MONTPELIER, Sept. 2S.-Orson C.
Clement, the farmer of West Corinth
who for half a century boarded a vast
accumulation of wool, only to have it
seized by the government during the ma
tional exigency of the World war, is the
subject of an extensive writeup in the
Boston Herald.
For more than so years Orson Glenn
ent steadily refused to sell the wool that
accumulated, year after year, in his farm
buildings at West COrinth.
Unable to obtain what he considered
to be a satisfactory price for his prod
uct. he stored his fleeces in sheds, in
barns. in corn cribs, and finally, in lieu
of other space, in his house.
Lofts, attics and upper chambers were
packed fun to bursting with wool. Some
times hemlock boughs were spread be-
tween the bales in an attempt to pre-
serve them. More often the wool was
stuffed into the sheds and barns, just as
it came from the shearers, with no APP
parent concern for its welfare
In the fail of 1913 the existence of the
hoard came to the knowledge of Joseph
q. Brown of Montpelier. chairman of
the Vermont committee of public safety,
and the government offered to buy it at
the market price, even agreeing that it
should be sold without deducting any
commission. When Clement refused, the
war department seized it and took such
as was fit for use. Some of the tieeceS
were 50 long that it was plain the sheep
had not been sheared for three years
THE wool was full of burrs and dirt and
cocoonS. Much of it was worthless. But
what was eventually salvaged wa paid
for one by one of Uncle Sans good
checks. The total was $4,000 or
