About Buffaloes
With the buffalo in the government park
at Wainwright, Canada, numbering more
than 5000 and with prospects OF the hero'
now the largest in the world, eventualiy OUT
growing the 1O0,O00-acre park the Canauian
government is seeking ways to commensurate
the surplus animals.
There is an excellent market for buffalo
meat. All the buffalo the government cares
to kill can be sold at fine prices IN poth
Canada and the United States: some u Sne
surplus bulls it is said, will be killed tnls
winter for the market.

falo robes were in common use n1ty years
ago when the remnants of the once great
| herds were still in existence. Now, with the
source cut off by the almost complete ex-
termination of the bison, they are rarely seen.

latter price was obtained for several recenta

are killed annually, however, the head mar

Experiments have been made in tanning
buffalo hides. This may be developed, 1t is

practically waterproof. The wool which the
animals shed every spring has been manu-

industrial possibilities, though OF a restrict
ed kind. The wool is gathered up from about
| the park, but it is believed it may be prac-
ticable to shear the buffalo annually like
sheep.

! Move Mustaches

Mary, has a real, old-fashioned mustache So
the heroes Of romantic novels and newspaper
serials probably will be equipped with mus
taches for some time Moreover, the tireless
photographers have discovered that one of
the kings sons is cultivating a mustache, and
that neither he nor Lord Lascelles supports
| the toothbrush variety of lip decoration
| Further, there are such eminent wearers
OF the mustache as Prime Minister Lloyd
George and ex-Premier BRAND. And that
other popular hero, Michael Collins, is also
mustacned. So numerous prophets are pre-
dieting that there will be a return to the later
