DIPLOMATS ABROAD
 ENTERTAIN KINGS
Foreign Ambassadors Spend Much
 Money for Social Functions

Washington. Aug. 7.-The pomp of
 European courts has not decreased
 noticeably since the war. according to reports of American diplomats to the state department. American ambassa- dors are continuing their complaints of inadequate salaries to meet the heavy drain of social entertainment and are citing postwar troubles of entertaining royalty at functions which equal or surpass the gilded af- fairs of pre-war days in Europe.
 For instance, the state dinner given recently by George Harvey. American ambassador to the Court of St James, to the British royal family set back the American envoy something over $S,000--for one dinner and trim ings. In fact, the trimmings con- stituted a large part of the bin, which contained an item of $75o alone for palms and ferns given standing room in the fireplaces of the Ameri- can embassy for the occasion.
 Tradesmen holding the royal favor have to be reckoned with in the en- tertainment provided by American uipiolldIo. ilc CdLcicio dlC VII IAdiiy chosen for the American entertainer by the lord chamberlain of the royal palace, no unknown or plebeian chiefs being permitted to cook for or serve the king or queen. Decorators, flor ists and train of other tradesmen having the royal approval also must be selected by the American host and their word, as we'll as their bills, go a long way in directing the function.
 Entertainment occasionally of the rulers of the nations to which they are accredited is an unacceptable duty of American diplomats, who are pro- rided with no entertainment fund to cover the costs of food and service. A :

with hounds The lion took to the
cliffs Immediately, and there tried to
whip the dogs out as he had whipped
several other packs. The little ter
'riers would not yield, however, and
even followed their quarry into cave
on the side of the cliff. When he
found that charging the dogs two or
three times did not scare them off the
lion went back into the den.
Miller then arranged that another
man with him should let him down
over the face of the cliff by means
of a rope Dangling in front of the
opening to the den, Miller shot the
lion and then dragged him out. ,Hav-
ing secured the prey, the hunter was
then pulled to safety at the top Of
the cliff. The lion, which was prob
ably one of the largest ever killed in
the state, had been very destructive

WOULD CONSERVE FUR BEAR
Frs, SAYS BIOLOGICAL SURVEY

Methods of conserving the country's
fur-bearing animals were outlined be-
fore members of the fur trade by
Frank G. Ashbrook, of the Biological
Survey, United States Department of
Agriculture, at the first International
Fur Exposition and Convention held
at New York City recently. He dis
cussed the attitude of that bureau to-
ward he industry. Mr.. Ashbrook
stated that the most impoprtpapnt
problem of the fur trade at present
is the future fur supply, and that the
Biological Survey is interested in con-
serving the source of the raw product
through protection of wild life and is
experimenting in raising fur bearers
in captivity. The bureau has taken a
leading part in holding public opin-
ion on the conservation of all kinds
of wild life.
The value of fur-bearing animals
to state must be recognized, he
said. There is need for better leg
islation in every state to prevent the
killing OF young fur bearers ana or
fur animals during the breeding sea-
son. Uniform laws also are needed
in regard to a shorter open season
and the licensing of trappers. In
prime pelts which are valueless TO
the fur trade should not be taken. If
trappers were required to repot their
catch before their permits could be
renewed, accurate records could be
kept as to the number of furbearing
animals killed annually. Depleted
areas should be closed for several
years and restocked just as are the
streams, lakes, and game preserves.
The Biological survey considers fur
a commendable and hopeful
adjunct to the fur industry. 1t also
believes that the fur trade could rem
der a most valuable service to itself
to the public and to wild-life conser-
walton if it would make its recon-
general rather than local
in scope, and aid in disseminating in
on. matters that lead, TO leg

HUNTER GOES DOWN CLIFF
TO SHOOT MOUNTAIN LION

Government hunters engaged in
predatory animal control work some
times have to perform feats sufficient
ly thrilling for the movies. Charley
Miller, a cooperative hunter under the
Biological Survey, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, recently
brought in the famous old Whiteriver
lion in the Arizona district, having
made his catch under unusually diff
cult conditions. This mountain lion,
which was thought to be jaguar be-
cause Of the size of his track, was
reported at the Whiteriver crossing
by cowmen who had suffered through,
his depredations. s ssssssS s.Sss ~ II { +

Mr.. and Mrs Christensen suffered
quite loss Thursday when all their

do not know how the fire started, but
being so dry it all burned in few
minutes. Mr.. and Mrs Christensen
moved here from Blackfoot a few
months ago, and Mr.. Christensen is
employed by the roalroad company
here.
Some of the farmers are using the
poison for the grasshoppers with good
results. There is another insect that
is quite thick in places here. So far
they have not done much damage to
the crops. They are found mostly ON
weeds, taking off the leaves. It seems
that they follow the grasshoppers de-
stroying the eggs, which may hell
another year. They do not stay long
in one place. They are called Blister
Beetles, sometimes causing a blister
resembling burn from steam, which
suggested the name Blister Beetle.
They do not seem to sting and are
harmless unless rubbed hard, which
seems to cause blister, and is a
sort of protection to themselves.
