New and Amazing Serial Describes Ont
Mans Long But Losing Battle
for Freedom

"The gentleman wants t. chew

guide, falling into slang. There
was a sort. of comradeship mixed
with pity in the tone. One might
have expected the same inflex-
ton applied to "a farmer seeing
the sights for the first time in
his life. The visitor didn't wait
for me to invite him. but s3rawled

Got any water round these

gruffly. He was still smoking the

other one.
1 rang for Andy, the waiter,
and told him to fetch some water.
Whats this fellow Osborne

whats he think us taxpayers

It just happened that did not

"oh. nothin'.' said the visitor.

ployed on a part time basis during
the winter to help keep the trunA
routes open, and to effect a saving
on spring season maintenance by in
dividual car owners.
Bus and commercial motor freight
ers have been prevailed upon to con-
tinue their winter operations but
under the direct control of the state
maintenance superintendent in six
teen districts covering the entire T.
00O-mile system. This arrangement
was effected regardless of the fact
that the state operations will be car
ried on mainly for the benefit of in
cividual car owners.
About $50 miles of snow fences
have been erected by the state along
the trunk routes to supplement
natural barriers against snow drifts
on the routes, as previously an
nounced, and numbers of snow
plows are distributed over the state
| and in readiness for duty as condi-
tlons may demand.
"Winter road work by the state
will depend largely upon general
weather conditions and the numbers
of road users benefitting," said Mr..
Ellison. The enlarged program Is
prompted by the apartments de-
sire to give the most valuable SER
vice to the general pubic and par
ticularly to the auto and gas tax
payers who are paying the bills.
With motor vehicles on the majority
of Minnesota farms and auto and
gas tax receipts exceeding estimates,
the state will try winter road open
ing work this year on liberal
scale"
More limited maintenance funds
in past years, he explained, forced
use of the money during the heavy
travel seasons when it was needed
to serve the largest numbers of
those contributing to the trunk high
way fund.

BIG FUR FARM
BEING WORKED.
STATE WARDEN TRAPPERS NOW
ON THE GROUND UNDER
STATE SUPERVISION.

The biggest fur farm" IN the
world. comprising 100000 acres
in the Superior National Forest In
ST. LOUIS, Lake ana Cook counties,
will be in operation this winter,
says Commissioner Gould.
The national forest farm will be
primarily a game refuge, according
to Mr.. GouIo, who, together with A.
l.. Richey, 1eoeral supervisor OF the
Superior National Forest, will have
charge of activities.
The activities of the state COM
mission In connection with its FUR
farming plans will consist of pro-
lection of all fur bearing animals
throughout the vast area and trap
ping of surplus ANIMALS by state
warden trappers, who have been In
the woods since early in the fall.
Outlaw trapping, wrich has been
going on for years, led to the estaD-
lishment of the Superior National
forest as a game refuge and later
to prohibition of all trapping except
by state wardens. Sixteen Deputy
wardens have been appointed to
prevent the trapping of animals In
the excluded area. Travelling on
skis and dog teams, deputies last
year tracked poachers and practical
ly abolished illegal trapping which
had taken toll of more than To-
900 beavers in one year.
As a further step IN protecting
fur bearing animals and embarklng
in the fur business, the state legls-
lature passed law last winter pro-
hibiting trapping except by game
wardens. Under this act surplus
animals may be killed by the 10
warden trappers appointed by Mr..
Gould. Each warden will supervise
two townships. Hides will become
the property of the tate, The pro-
ceeds to be used to pay salaries of
the warden trappers.
William Hanson, former chief OF
police at Winton and later deputy
sheriff, is in charge of the game
refuge in St. Louis and Lake
counties.
Joseph Brickner of Grand Marais
is in charge in Cook county. The
10 warden trappers, who moved in
to the woods early in the fall, were
supplied with food to last for
months by means OF canoes. Dur
ing the winter food will be convey
ed by dog team to enable wardens
to remain at their posts until late
in April. Game wardens will visit
the state trappers at regular inter-
walls to supervise their work and col
lect the furs.
Wolves, minks, fisher and fox will
be trapped. Beaver will be trapped
only when they are causing carnage
and upon agreement between the
state game ard fish commission and
the United States forestry service
as regards the number to be taken.
when there are too many beaver
and food is scarce, then, and then
only, will we instruct our state trap
pers to take number of them,"
Mr.. Gould announced.
In combating theft of the "stock"
on the huge farm the "hired help"
will GO as far as to use hydroplanes,
Mr.. Gould said. He pointed out
that steps to end outlaw trapping
were so effective that when the
poachers left Winton and Ely this
fall deputy game wardens followed
them into the woods, with the re-
suit that the outlaw trappers con-
tinued on their wav until they had
passed over into Canada. Numer-
GUS hides most of which having
been taken illegally in Canada, were
seized from outlaws last spring.

The story of the play conferred
about two struggling young men,
one an artist and the other writer.
Their eXchequor had vanished and
the landlady wanted her rent, the
janitor wanted his money for SER
vices and the point of desveration
had been reached when a lucky
moment sent a party to the studio
and by dint of perseverance and
publicity stunts on the part of the
writer man the day was saved when
picture was sold. After that,
more publicity complicated matters
and also parked the rise of the two.
All the snappy dialogue of the prin-
cipals was most tunefully set off by
the frequent appearance of the
handsome and we'll gowned choruses.
The choruses were composed of the
