100000, 900 Trapped Annually.

Comdr. Breck told the society that
100 eco 900 dumb animals are tortured
to death in steel traps each year.
Every animal caught in a steel trap
stays there until he dies. Either the
trapper comes around and kills him,
which is the most merciful: he freezes
to death, which is tho next most
merciful. or he meets death some
other way" the speaker declared
Quoting biologist. Comdr. Breck de
clared: ANY one who says an animal
doesn't suffer overwhelmingly is either
an ignoramus or liar.
The wea ring of fur trimmings on
dresses will result in big increase
in the sale of fur and more cruelty
during the next year, Comdr. Brock
declared.

suited in the reelection of DIR. Smith
as president and the election of Col.
John Reed Scott, first vice president.
Other officers elected were: Vice

GOVERNOR ASKS PRAYERS.
Virginia Proclamation Follows Havoc
From Drought.

RICHMOND, Va, September IL up.
The protracted drought which, ac-
companied by high temperatures. is
working havoc to Virginia crops, dry
ing UP whole rivers and threatening
sources of water supply, caused Gov.
T.. Lee Trinkle to issue q proclama-
ton today calling on Virginians to
pray tomorrow for rain.
The situation is said to be acute in
nearly every part of Virginia, but
especially has the drought been costly
to southwest Virginia, where pas
lures have been burned brown and
rivers dried. Cattlemen have been
forced to throw their stock on the
markets weeks in advance Of the
regular shipping period because there
is little food and scanty water sup
plies.
Tobacco and corn crops have been
greatly affected by the lack of mois-
ture. Agricultural officials announced
today that the tobacco leaf was in
many instances drying in the field
before it reached maturity.
Many canneries in the State have
virtually abandoned operations be-
cause truck crops supplying them are
dead in the fields.
In the country side 1t has been
noticed that large trees have died for
lack of moisture and smaller vegeta-
ton has either been killed or, in the
case of the more hardy plants, wilted
and Drowned

Note Hits Strike.

HAZLETON, Pa, September Il Up.
When employees Of the Lehigh Val
ley Coal Co. in the Hazleton district
today received their last pay until
work is resumed they found in their
envelopes small printed notes, ad-
dressed Ito our employees saying:
I'VE are sorry that the calling of
this unnecessary strike means that
most Of the employees receiving this
pay will not be sure of receiving an
other when the next pay day comes
around.
The notes assert that every day
this strike goes on more than $1,000
600 in wages will be lost to the mine
workers and that "the coal we
should be producing is being re-
placed by substitutes, mostly btu
minous from non-union mines"
The notes further said: There is
no good reason why there should be
a strike while effort was being made
TO negotiate q new agreement. Say
what you please, impartial arbitration
is the best way to settle disputes.
Our differences in the end will be
arbitrated one way or the other
Why not before there is more loss
in wages and the market for anthra-
cite goes to other fuels?"
