Hunters Kill More
Than $4,000 Predatory Beasts

figures couple of times you will under
stand why the government keeps hunters
In the western states to try and protect
the stock of the farmer and stockman,
and why they give these men the best
guns and ammunition American factories
can produce.
Yet every once in a while someone
breaks loose with the bright idea that
1t would be fine to get rid of aN fire.
arms, that there should be legislation to
prohibit their use. Such people do not
seem to realize that the United States
government Is spending hundreds ~of
thousands OF dollars yearly to promote
a greater interest in the rifle shooting
among civilians. that the National Rifle
Matches are held yearly to note the i'm
provement in rifle shooting, that mill
lions of dollars have been spent by states
In repnnishing game, an dthat no less
than 100000 persons yearly pay license
to hunt. These things indicate that
there are a number of people interested
in shot guns and rifles and it is time
that these people asserted themselves.
The history Of the United States Is fill
ed with great deeds with the rifle. 1t
was through the use of the rifle that the
United States became the great country
1t is today. And through the education
of young America in the shooting of a
rifle we can make our country even
greater than it is

Dozen Engineers
Lured To Mystic
Pacific Islands

LONDON, Aug. 1T.-Discouraged at
the outlook in this country, dissatisfied
with the after-war Britain, but actual
ed mainly by a love of adventure,
about a dozen engineering students Of
Loughborough college are setting out
on September 1 for an uninhabited
Pacific Island belonging to Ecuador.
Most of them are ex-officers. Among
them is an author, D. L. David who
wrote "Ya Brot" He expects to find
in the new settlement work for his pen
as we'll as his hands. A cotton vessel
Is being made ready for the expedition.
The chief means of existence they
hope to find by utilizing the resources
of the island itself; the development
of fruit growing and the breeding OF
cattle.
ALI hands will be required to work,
although climatic conditions, it has
been ascertained, are ideal and all
hev will need for food can be obtained
without working. If they are content
lust to loaf and invite their souls
Their destined home, the adventur-
ers say. is about 500 miles from the
Panama Canal.

RUSS BANDIT DIES
WITH HIS BOOTS ON
Aotonoff Harrassed Red Army For
Several Years But Was Finally
Killed BY Police.

TAfBOF'F, Russia. July 14-(By
MaiD Alexander Antonoff, whom his
followers considered in the light OF a
rsincarnated Robin Hood. but whom
the Soviet government classed as a
Jesse James. fought to the last when
surrounded and killed by the state po-
lice at his hiding place in a tiny viii
lage near Tamboff late in June.
Antonoff once was in the old Rus
sian army. When the Bolsheviki took
power hs opposed them and, gathering
about him thousands of followers
fast horsemen from the Steppes-he
harrassed the Red Army In the south
IF Russia for several years.
Last September Antonofrs last band
was broken up by the Reds. For
months the state, police sought out his
hiding place. Finally some Of his
former confederates were promised
amnesty and betrayed him.
Early one June evening eight men
led by Policemen Pokulukin came to
the hut OF a peasant woman, Marie
Katosanova, whose name will go down
in the fantastic legends surrounding
the life of Antonoff. In this hut in the
thick woods near the river Verona,
Antonoff was hiding. The police called
to her and she came out of the house
denying Antonoff was there. No
sooner had the woman turned away
than two men started firing upon the
police from the windows of the hut.
Peasants, attracted by the shooting,
ran to the village church and rang the
bells and hundreds OF peasants armed
themselves with sticks and stones and
formed a Gordon about the hut.
For several hours the battle con-
tInued until, with night at hand, the
police ran very short Of ammunition.
Two Of them crept up to the house and
set the roof on fire. AS smoke began
to pour out of the windows, two men
broke from the house and started run
ming toward the woods. With each
step they turned to fire their revolvers
nj the police. They had almost
cached the woods when they were
shot down. Their bodies were i'm
mediately identified, one being the ia
NOUS chieftain, and the other his
brother, Dfmitri Antonoff.
To convince the population that the
bandits never had been workingmen'
the Soviet authorities had autopsies
performed and doctors issued state
rnents saying that neither OF the broth
ers ever occupied himself with hard !
work, FOR their hands were soft like |
those of noblemen and there was rat
IN over their bodies, showing that they
had fed themselves very well at the
TINS when the famine in the villages
carried away many souls"

of
English Society
Being Denounced

LONDON, Aug. 2.-(By MaiD The
Rev. John E. Wakerly, the new presi-
dent of the Weslean Conference, de-
nounced the immortality existing today
in English society both high and low, in
his presidential address.
On the same day that his utterances
were published here, there appeared a
dispatch from New York in which the
prevalence of vice and immortality in
America was denounced by the National
Council of the Protestant Episcopal
Church.
American readers may be interested
in learning that according to DR.. WAX
erley, English morals are apparently
quite as bad as American morals.
Human life by many is held very
cheaply," was his indictment. There is
scarce a day when you do not, open your
paper upon some sordid story of the
slaughter of some innocent.
THE standard of morals between the
sexes in many places is very low. The
sacredness of the marriage relationship
is openly pooh poohed; lust tramples
truth. integrity. and domestic happiness
beneath it's feet.
You have increased the number Of
your judges in the courts which deal
with domestic tragedy because of the
number Of people who have sought relief
in that direction. When you have done
that, you have only touched the fringe Of
the evil.
Your cities have no monopoly of vice
Get rid of the impression that because
your villages are picturesquely placed
they are therefore homes of deep spir-
itualty. Alas! it is not So
You have frequently in what you
think your fair village life a low moral
sense, which Is indicated by an UNI
worthy estimate of womanhood.
I'VE have been reminded in the last
few weeks that materialism is trebly
bankrupt in philosophy, in the natural
sciences, and in practical life. and that
the only alternatives are continuance |
of the present chaos till it ends Inc a |
crash, or a return to a spiritual view OF
the universe"

BIG zoo ELEPHANT
CURED OF SULKS
Had Went on Strike in London
Zoo and Refused to Carry
Children on Her Back.

LONDON, Aug. IA big female In
dian elephant that went on strike at the
Zoo last spring and refused to do what
all big elephants at the Zoo are required
to do-earn money by carrying children
around on her back-has been cured of
the sulks and laziness by the seeming
magic treatment Of an Indian mahout
She was presented to the Zoo by the
Maharajah of Cooch Behar two years
ago. She had been well trained and
acted at all times like a sensible, we'll
behaved elephant and obeyed orders
properly She developed no vices be-
yond that of picking pockets for edible
dainties. But every elephant that has
any sense at all learns to do that in the
Zoo.
Then she took 1t into her big head
that she would not submit to being
bossed any longer. She declined to
stand between the new riding steps that
had been fixed up for the convenience
of juvenile elephant riders. When the
old wooden steps were substituted for
the new ones she proved equally obdur
ate. In the end she declined to leave
the elephant yard at all.
AS the elephant is a fine animal, and
quite good, tempered, it was decided to
obtain a mahout from India. He was
cabled for, and arrived in due course. He
was taken to the elephant house. He at
once entered the enclosure and formally
saluted the animal, standing first at her
head and then at her tail. Next he
took off his shoes, and knoted a rope
loosely round the elephants neck, which
he afterward used as a kind of stirrup.
With little difficulty he persuaded her
to kneel and mounted her neck In less
than two minutes, soothing. patting, and
talking volubly to her in Hindustani, he
had got on good terms with the animal.
Then he took her round to the elephant
ride, and apparently had her in COM
plete control
Phrases of his admonitions, freely |
translated. were as follows: 81 am told
that you eat your food, and will not
work; it is wrong; Allah enjoins on US all
that we must work If we would eat. You |
are cheating your masters, and 1t is I'M !
worthy Of you. I am only black man, /
and you must not mind me. Put fear /
out of your mind; take it UP from your
heart, and throw 1t out"
The elephant certainly seemed to I'M
1erstand, and now obeys every order
The mahout was given quarters in an
other part of the gardens, but he OBJ
tanned leave to sleep in the elephant
house. as he says that he wishes to talk
% the elephant during the night. He
las not yet tried to saddle her, as he |
wants to take things slowly. but he is
confident he will conquer all her fears
nd make her permanently obedient.

Bandit Scene
Clashes With
Romance Film
Bang! Bangbang! Bane!!"

Bang! Bangbang! Bang!!"
Four shots from a thirty thirty rifle
rang out with terrific effect
Nearby, a man who was making love
to another mans wife, ceased his love-
making and both he and the beautiful
woman cringed in startled. terrified
amusement, the emotional tension of
the moment rudely broken.
Sam Wood, Paramount director,
threw down his script and held up his
handkerchief in token of a truce.
Didn't you know the war was
over?' he shouted over towards the
region from whence came the shoot
ing.
Two smiling faces popped up from
behind a canvas flat enclosing a set
ting nearby. They were Thomas
Meighan, Paramount star and Al
Green, his director
We're through with the shooting
scene now, you can go ahead with the
sob stuff" laughed the star and direc-
tor. We're sorry we interrupted
your love scene"
With peace and quiet again reign
ing, Sam Wood again started his di-
.rection of the dramatic scene from
Blinor Glyn's story, Beyond the
Rocks" starring Gloria Swanson,
which will be shown at the Isis theatre
next Monday and Tuesday.
The difficulty lay in the close prox-
imitv Of the two settings. one repre-
senting a hut in the heart of Mexico
which is attacked by bandits, and the
other a magnificent ballroom in a Lon
don estate 1t was a case where melo-
drama clashed with romance!
