Are Sportsmen Cruel?

The question Of the cruelty of
sportsmen, which has been raised
now and then by Humane Societies
and others, is intelligently handled
by DR.. Bruette, editor of Forest
& Stream" He says:
Many wax indignant over the
killing of wild life by the hunter
or fisherman, yet the processes of
our slaughter-houses and our own
backyard chickering's do o t
trouble them in the least. When it
comes time to kill Johnny's pet
rabbit for the Sunday dinner it is
only a matter to be handled with
diplomacy and with as much dis
patch as possible. Of course, Johnny
may think it cruel, and, strange as
1t may seem to those who pretend
to see cruelty in the shooting of a
wild rabbit, the sportsman himself
is likely to agree with Johnny"
The true sportsman cannot help
but feel that the animal is being
betrayed; it has learned to trust its
human friends, only to meet death
at the hands that have caressed it.
Yet those who condemn hunting.
and fishing condone this betrayal
as being the God-given right of
mankind"

Cost of Pack Trips.

The cost of pack train trips in
the western mountains has always
been factor tending to discourage
the average man from taking these
very delightful vacations. Expert
ment in the Sequoia National Park
has disclosed that trip can be
taken for less than a dollar and a
half day. The experiments were
made by two men and boy. They
took two pack mules, and rode sad
die horses. The two trips totaed
ten days. The cost of one trip was
Sl.44 per day per person, the other,
$1.20 per day per person.

Col. MacNab.

The national rife matches at
Camp Perry, Ohio, are on in full
blast. This is always an interest
ing occasion but the personality of
the man at the head of it this year
increased it's interest. Col. A. J.
MacNab, u. S. A., has hunted big
game from Alaska to southern
Mexico, had general supervision Of
all rifle training in the A. Z. f. in
France, was IN charge of the Inter
allied Rife and Pistol competitions
at IeMans, devised the system of
rifle and pistol training now in use
in the u. S., and wrote the army
manuals on these subjects.
The matches at Camp Perry, con
stituting the shooting classic of
America, will end September 10.
Rife and pistol target shooting as
a sport in itself, is on the increase
in America.

Financing Game Refugees.

David Madsen, game and fish
commissioner Of Utah, says that a
system Of game refugees and pub
lie shooting grounds should be fl
nanced by devoting the Federal in
come derived from taxes on arms
and ammunition to the establish
ment of such refugees. He says in
a recent public statement:
Upwards Of six hundred million
shotgun shells are sold annually in
the United States, and | am unable
to give an estimate of the money
involved in the sale Of firearms of
different kinds, but it is certain
that the money received from a
ten per cent tax on all small arms
and ammunition would be in ex-
cess Of three million dollars an
nuaIly An appropriation of this
sum, over a period Of twenty years,
would build a new picture of out
door America, and one that would
be a credit to this generation of
American conservationists.

And in This Connection

1t may be fine to have buffalos in
your back yard, but to date the
efforts to transplant western ami
mails to eastern ranges has not met
with entire success. The following
is taken from the report of the
Pennsylvania Game Commission:
ELK: These animals are in
creasing slowly, but in some sec
tions are causing considerable an
noyance to landowners. Twenty
three legal bull elk were killed dur
ing the season of 1923, the first
open elk season in Pennsylvania
for many years. 1t can hardly be
said that the importation Of these
animals has proven successful. The
range is not sufficiently extensive
to permit them to increase and in
dulge in their usual erratic wan
behring's without causing some an
noyance to farmers"

stark novels will be doubly inter
ested in George Barr McCutcheon's
latest novel, Oliver October" to be
published serially in The Villas
County News beginning with the
November 18th issue.
Oliver October" is the fascinat-
ing story of a gypsy's prophecy and
its effect on the life of the person
it concerned. There is plenty of
action and mystery and suspense
all of the well-known McCutcheon
variety.
George Barr McCutcheon has

early in 1901, when the first Grau-
stark novel was published. This
was phenomenal success and

paper career and devote his entire
time to fiction.
Among his better-known stories
are Beverly of Graustark," "A Fool
and His Money" THE Daughter of
Anderson Crow" West Wind
Drift" and Viola Gwyn."

CHURCH NOTES
Congregational Church.

Congregational Church.
Two very successful Hallowe'e en-
parties were held in the social
rooms of the church last week. The
first, on Friday evening, was given
by Mrs. Wiegand's class of girls,
and featured not alone the usual
Halloween and other games, but
also the Halloween idea in place
cards, candy receptacles and the
ike, the work of the girls own
hands.
The second, large party given
on Saturday evening by Mesdame'
A. j. Austin, E. w. Kracht, L. J.
Kuehne and A. w. Thorpe, was, by
all accounts, filled with shocks and
thrills galore. Ghosts were abroad
both in numbers and in the full
round Of ghostly employments;
and the connections and viands
they prepared and partook of,-well,
such things doubtless should not be
spoken Of openly and in broad day
light! And they are talking Of the
party yet, -sure sign that it was
novel and entertaining.
A large and attentive audience
greeted the pastor, Rev. L. H. Skid
more, last Sunday morning, while
he pointed out how universal is the
feeling that life has for each of US
a high call which must be met. 1t
is best met, he declared in the
doing Of our daily tasks. The per-
feet answer is rendered, not in pos
session of things or activity about
things, but in duty-doing and in
the achievement Of personal free
dom. Duty-doing is the answer re-
turned by the wisdom of the gener-
ations, because it is the allying Of
ones personal powers with the
moral momentums of the universe.
Freedom is not the opposite of
duty, but surplussage of life and
energy and power above the nee
essities of ordinary duty, These
points were brought out by numer-
Gus illustrations. The responsive
lesson for the day was an ascrip-
ton Of praise to Him who sends
his snow like wool, and the anthem
sung by the choir was an arrange
ment Of the well-known hymn,
Grown Him With Many Crowns y
Special interest has been given of
ate to the opening worship Of the
Sunday school through stories told
by the pupils of the lives of famous
Bible characters. The stories of
David and Ruth have been told;
also of Moses and Miriam. Pupils,
and perhaps teachers. were sur
prised to find what a bright and
talented person was Miriam. Not
only did she show natural enough
loyalty and sisterly devotion in
watching the baby brother hidden
in the waters edge, but she
showed herself quick-witted when
she suggested to the Egyptian prin-
cess eager to adopt the boy the
idea of a Hebrew nurse, and
brought her own mother for the
place. The story brought out the
fact that Miriam in later years was
