FUR-BEARING ANIMALS IN
DANGER OF EXTINCTION

MADISON, Wis.-The .uT-bearing
animals of Wisconsin face extinction
unless steps are taken at once to curb
trapping for the next year, W. E. Bar
Der, chairman of the state cOnserva-
ton commission, has advised mem
bers Of the legislature and officers OF
Rod and Gun clubs.
Mr.. Barber seeks to determine
whether they think it advisable for
the commission to proceed under the
emergency powers to close the season.
"Indications are that muskrat, rae
coon, mink, beaver and otter are
trapped out so closely that it is dan
gerous to permit further inroads into
this number" he states. 'The legicla-
ture does not meet until January.
1923, at a time when the season will
be far advanced and too late to g,ve
protection"
Gov. j. ]. Blaine has sanctioned the
move of the commission to stop trap
ping, following conference with Mi,
Barber, and after hearing requests
from persons interested in Wisconsin
wild lie, that the season be closed to
head off practical determination OF
many species.
Furs vaIUed at more than S1,000000
were taken from animals caught in
this state last year. Reports show

Dear Madam:

to tell the police or any one else. 1t
would be only snort time you would

how people stand, so we know you've
got the money.
"Now do not try to play smart. It
will be at the risk OF your life You
will not see any one around at the
time you come with the box, but we
will be there just the same. We have
spies all around, so do as we tell you
and you will not be mOlested."

drawn on the back page appeared the
