BIG GAME CAME THROUGH
WINTER IN GOOD CONDITION
Past Winter Was Mild and Few Elk
Died on the Feed Lots, Says
Commissioner.

State Game and Fish Commissioner
Frank Il. Smith recently returned
from a few weeks s%Ojourn i'm the
Jackson's Hole country and adjacent
elk range. Concerning the condition of
the states big game, Mr.. Smith said
1.-THE winter was an exceptional one,
and out of 5,149 elk which came to the
meadows only 50 died on the food lots
during the winter season. The elk of
Wyoming number more than $1,000, ac-
cOrding to the estimates made. The
moose and deer are increasing in num-
bers, while the few antelope left are
about holding their own.
There has recently been organized
in the Jackson Hole country a game
protective association, with a large
membership, which is proving "A great
protection for the elk, and has resulted
in holding down the number of elk be-
ing killed for teeth. Two years ago
more than 1000 elk died from winter
kill in JacksOn's Hole

Harry Moore. accompanied by his
son, Raymond, arrived in Saratoga on
Monday from their home in Los An
geles, Calf. Mr.. Moore was one of

There will be no extra session of
the Wyoming legislature for the pur-

amended Farm Loan act passed at the
1923 session, Governor william b.
Ross indicated Saturday night. follow
ing his return from a brief visit in
Laramie, says the Wyoming Tribune.
The chief executive has been asked.
by a number of bankers, Legislators
and others, to call such a session, but
his present intention is to refuse to
comply with the request. He does not
believe the expense, which probably
would run well above the $4,000
mark, would be justified.
1t was the intention of the legisla-
ture and of the governor to make it
possible for the farmers of Wyoming,
with their land as security, to borrow
much larger amounts than were pos
sible under the Did law. Both houses
passed bills raising the limit from So

which was advertised for May 18th. it
was necessary at the last minute to
postphone the play, and May 31st has
been selected as the date for the pre-

the circus says it will be bigger and
better than ever" and the high school
students assure u. that the quality of
the performance has not been affected
by the delay.

final copying, but the engrossing clerk
in charge of it failed to include the
provisions incorporated by the con-
ferees. In this form the measure was
signed, but after the close of the SEES
sion Attorney General d. j. Howell
ruled that two sections, including the
II raising the loan limit, were un-
constitutional on account of the clerks
error.
Howell held hat four other sections
were valid, 50 that, even though the
meat of the law was lost, it did in
crease the aggregate AMOUNT of money
available from 100000 to $500
900 and authorized a reduction in the
interest rate from 6 to . per cent.
Unless the State Supreme cuort ov-
erturns the attorney generals opinion
it will be allowed to stand, despite the
furore that has been raised in a num-
Der of farming sections.

Opinion Will keep More
Than 1000 Institu-
tions Open

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 2.-The su-
preme court today rendered deci-
sion that distribution Of the revolv-
ing school fund appropriated by the
Legislature in 1922, amounting to
81 1868, ,721, is not in violation Of Sec
ton 206 Of the constitution and sus-
ling the ruling to the same eff
feet made by Judge w. H. Potter in
Kinds county circuit court.
The decision saves the public
schools of Mississippi from threat
ened disaster as a contrary ruling
would have forced the closing Of
more than 1000 rural schools within
the current month.
The supreme court sharply divided
on the question. Justice Holden
read the majority opinion, concurred
in by Justice Sykes, Ethridge and
Cook. A dissenting opinion was read
by Chief Justice Sidney M. Smith,
concurred in by Justice w. D. An
derson.
The dissenting opinion declares
that the ruling Of the majority is in
violation Of the plain language Of
the constitution as we'll as some Of
the most elementary rules for the
construction of written documents.
The majority opinion holds in sub
stance that Section 206 of the con-
stitution does not prohibit the Leg
islature from appropriating addition
al funds for equalizing public school
terms beyond the term of four
months made obligatory by Section
206.
In brief, as the majority views it,
Section 2o6 merely commands a
school term of not less than four
months, the money appropriated
therefor to be distributed on the
basis of the number of educable
children in each county, but the Leg
islature may in its discretion vote
additional funds for school purposes;
that Section 206 cannot be con-
strued as a restriction by impica-
ton or a limitation of school fund
disbursement to one method only and
restriction must appear plain and
certain before it will be implied by
the court.

CARD OF APPRECIATION

1 wish to convey to all my friends
my profound gratitude for their
solicitude and nay deep appreciation
for the many and continued express
sions of their love and friendship
manifested toward me during the
recent severe illness which l ex-
perienced.
Both while at the hospital and,
afterward, at home every possible
attention which love could prompt
was given me. Friends called to
cheer and comfort me, and flowers
always frightened the room and
better than all else, there were
numbers who constantly held me up
to Throne of Grace in their
prayers.
am better now and am able to
be out again and hope to have it
in my power to prove to everyone
how much l really do appreciate all
that has been done for me.
Sincerely and gratefully,

L. B. Batson Injured
By Falling in Store

Mr.. L. B. Batson, of Millard, is
going around with crutch and his
arm in a sling these days.
1t is all due to a misstep he made
on Friday before Christmas while
busy in the store.
He got up on barrel to reach
something from a high shelf and in
stepping back missed his footing
and fell to the floor, striking his
shoulder blade on a grind rock. The
bone was broken and cause him
much pain besides serious incon-
venience.
Mr.. Batson says he is only in his
early sixties, and that the bone will
knit speedily just like it would on
any other "boy."
1t is to be hoped that he may
soon be alright again.
