ELK STARVING,
DELONEY SAYS;
ASKS CHANGES

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. To- The
state OF Wyoming Is all wrong - or
near.y so-in its system OF feeding
wild elk in the Jackson Hole country,
ACCORDING to Representative w. c.
Deloney Of Lincoln county, who de-
stres the appointment OF a legislative
committee to go to tho elk country
and look into the matter. Tho ex-
pense OF the Investigation, states Mr..
Deloney, would be negligible In com.
parison with the saving that I'M
doubtedly would result from q change
OF system.
Mr.. Deloney's Legislative hobby is
same protection. He lives in the
heart Of the big game region and
when no DISCUSSES elk he knows
whereof he Hpeaks- He believes that

tho elk herds ovar periods whom nat
ural forage is too deeply covered with
snow TO ba accessible, is not begun

the elk. BY the time tho state be-
gins providing hay TO the elk. he
stated in nm illuminating speech TO
the house. many of them are too far
/ gone from starvation to be saved by
the delayed aid; * weak from hunger
that they fall easy prey to coyotes
+, and other predatory enenies- He DO
iieves that n study should be made Of
tho feeding problem. and a system
adopted whereunder feeding would
begin In ample time and be eonttn'
ned until spring ia sufficiently ad'
yanced for the elk TO subs.st without

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
So Says English Minister of Labor in Speaking of Revival of Trade in Birmingham.

fbHuIllS S1dllIs
 London, March 16.-Sir Montague Barlow, the minister of labor, struck an optimistic note on the prospects of a revival in trade when speaking recently in Birmingham.
 T do begin to see a little day light" he said There are indica- 'tions that we arc weathering the storm. Frankly I do not want the process to be too rapid. If it were I would be afraid that it was merely effervescent. Improvement is going on steadily in manner which makes me hopeful. No one can tell what the effect of certain political changes on the continent may be, but apart from that it seems that we are climb ing the hill steadily and, although the way is hard, we shall safely reach the summit"
 The retailers of England also feel hopeful as to the future.
 "A state of hope for better things rather than actual fulfllment is vir- tually the position of trade today" is the way the Retailers association sums up the retailers point of view of the trading outlook. It is added, however, that the optimistic feeling bids fair to be translated into business in the early future.

TO HOLD FAIR
The Fourth of Series of Industrial
 Exhibits Helpful to Trade and Commerce to Take Place in Norway

Christiania, March 16.-There will be held in this city early in Septem- Der the fourth of a series of Nor wegian industrial fairs. all of which have been helpful to trade and com merco.
 The three former expositions were held in 1920, 1921 and 1922. They were all successful, and aroused keen interest both in Norway and abroad. The number of entries last year was large. Virtually every branch of Norwegian industry and handicraft was represented, and ex- hibits were sent in from every manu- featuring center through the country,
 The fair gives foreign buyers a chance to acquaint themselves with Norwegian products and manufac- lures of every description, and of get ting into closer personal contact with firms in every line of trade.
