Buffalo For Park
An Expensive Deal
Rod & Gun Club Official Has PROPOSE
ton Explained In Letter From
Neutrality-suspicious. Are Not
Suitable AS Pets

Secretary C. E. Shepard of the
River Falls Rod & Gun Club has re-
ceived the following reply to his in
CURRY regarding the "free" distribu-
ton of buffalo from Yellowstone Ma
tional Park to municipal parks.
News dispatches indicates that all
municipal authorities would have to
do would be to make application for
the buffalo and that the animals
would be sent free of charge. 1t
is shown in the National Park Ser
vice directors letter that there is
considerable expense, especially in
transportation, and also in providing
suitable fenced grounds at the local
park.
In his letter the director explains
as follows:
at is the intention of the National
Park Service to dispose of limited
number of the surplus buffaloes in
Yellowstone this fall, when conditions
are favorable for their capture, to
municipal zoos and other public in
stitutions, and to individuals who
can give assurance that they have
facilities available for properly car
ing for the animals.
while no charge will be made for
them, the recipient will be required
to pay all expenses incident to their
capture, Grating, and shipment, which
on the average amounts to between
SS5 and 500 per head delivered on
the cars of the Northern Pacific
Railroad at Gardiner, Montana, the
nearest shipping point. In addition
he will also be called upon to meet
the express charges from there to
point of destination. The shipping
weight of a single buffalo will vary
from 1920 to $500 pounds, depending
on its age. Your local express agent
can give you an estimate of shipping
cost.
at should be understood that
these buffaloes were originally wild
animals, that they have been living
for years in practically a natural
state, so high strong fence will BE-
necessary to restrain them if kept in
comparatively small enclosure
They can not in any sense be con-
sidered as suitable for pets, the i'm
preston given by number of news
paper articles that have come to my
attention"

Pierce County Will
Observe Defense DaY
Ellsworth Band OF Thirty Pieces
viii Feature Program At River
Falls Sept. IL

The various features of the Ma
tional Defense Act and the manner in
which Pierce county would assemble
its forces in case of emergency will
be explained and demonstrated at
River Falls on Friday, September
II, in Glen Park.
This is not a militaristic demon
stration, but is held for the purpose
of demonstrating the new and BET
ter method of home defense in case
of any emergency. The new system
as been established, and the De-
Tense Day program is to acquaint
the people with the idea. 1t can bet
Ger be compared to the trial run of
a fire department, or the rehearsal
of a life guard patrol.
1t is the purpose of the new plan
to have facilities available to as
semble, house, train and efficiently
care for the soldiers of each COM
munity right at home, instead of
having to send them to far-off train
ing camps; to keep the county units
together during their term of SER
vice, and to give them efficient home
care instead of separating them in
camps throughout the country dur
ing their training period.
River Falls and Ellsworth Ameri-
can Legion Posts are sponsoring the
Defense Day program at River Falls
Sept. II, and cordially invite the en-
tire county to attend. The ELS
worth band of thirty pieces will
furnish music, noted speaker will
give an address describing the Ma
tional Defense Act, and there will be
an athletic program and community
picnic. The program will commence
at 8 o'clock in the afternoon.

DINNER PAIL EPICS
(By BILL LLOYD

If anybody wants to seek rare po-
litical antique, then Andy Mellon
comes to mind as just about the rich
est find.
He is the man that Harding choose
to regulate the law on booze Since
Andy had distilled the stuff, he had
his subject down enuf. 1t should give
Puritans a shock to know he owned
distillery stock, down in the district
where they make it so strong the
topper scarce can take it.
Besides the making Of corn juice, he
makes some things for household use
The wife who buys aluminium ware
boosts Melons profit up for fair
He's owner in aluminium trust, which
trade commission failed to bust. With
all aluminium in it's grip, it has the
housewife on the hip, and taps her
purse for all it can when she needs
boiler, pot or pan.
If hubby now can't spend for booze,
then Andy has another ruse. The
husband gives his wife the sum; she
spends it for aluminium. I'll says the
game is somewhat raw, but we must
oil old Andy's paw.
To take from out the housewives
purse is better than to fill the hearse
with some checked-out inebriate-but
housewives may resent the fate.
When lection day soon comes
around, if hubby sober can be found,
the wife should polish up her pan
and steer husband best she can to the
appointed polling place and vote to
Danish in disgrace the party of the
Mellon crew, and put in power

1T CAN'T BE DONE

One of the very first things an
editor learns is that he can't please
everybody. The ones who haven't
learned this are too dumb to be trying
to run a newspaper. Human nature
is so constituted that some of our
readers would like to have us feed
them on scandal; some would like US
to tell the unvarnished truth about
them, while others would kill US l.
we did.
1t is a comforting thought to the
editor to know that the Savior Him
self did not please everybody while
He was on earth.
We labor hard to entertain and
please our subscribers, but that we
should occasionally fail is to be for
given. No matter how old we may
grow to be, however, there is one
thing that we are never going to for
get. And that is that an editor can't
please everybody. If he could he
would be wearing wings on his
shoulders in another world instead Of
patches on his pants in this one.
