Cut Hay From Meadows to
Feed Animals When
Snow Comes.

Yellowstone Park, Wyo-The park
rangers are out in the meadows get
ting in the winter hay and rumors
from Yellowstone animal circles tell of
great rejoicing among the elk, ante
lope and buffalo.
Each year the lowlands along the
Lamar and Gardiner rivers and their
tributaries are harvested of rich tim
othy, clover and natural hay. Along
Slough creek, at Yancey's old place,
near the buffalo ranch in the Lamar
valley and at the north entrance to
the park at Gardiner, Mont, the
rangers work, gathering a thousand
tons or more of hay
Meanwhile the tourists pass through
the FORTHCOMING at the rate of $500
or more each day. In their travels
over the Grand Loop road of nearly
200 miles many animals are Eeen, par
ticularly the bears. But realization
of the conseryationist work RESPONSE
Bile for the abundance of wild life in
the Yellowstone is not always forth
coming.
The tragic story of the American
buffalo, or bison, is well known.
Thanks to the untiring efforts of the
park service, Yellowstone boasts of
one of the few large herds Of these
animals in the United States There
are two buffalo herds in the park, one
that is cared for by winter feeding
consisting of approximately 800 head,
and the other band of 125 that roams
free and without care the year around
In the eastern wildernesses of the
park.
Buffalo Herd In Valley.
The winter headquarters Of the
large herd is at the Lamar valley buff
falo ranch, where the fragrant timothy
hay grown in nearby meadows care
fully stacked behind 12-foot fences is
rationed out. Buffalo can break
through fences less than II feet in
height. In the summer they range up
the valley and into the mountainous
areas. A huge drift fence, three miles
long, which spans the Lamar valley,
prevents them from coming down to
the ranch and eating their winter pro-
visions before the hay is stacked.
A story similar to the buffalo's has
been very nearly true Of the antelope
and elk in this country. OF elk pos
sibly $4,000 head remain, 40 per cent
of them in the Yellowstone National
mark This arpa sI1rroTndfno thn mark
in Wyoming and Montana supports
other large elk herds and an excellent
system of game preserves has fostered
elk bands in Pennsylvania. South OF
Yellowstone, in Jackson Hole, the
forest service and biological survey
aided by huge land purchase of the
Izaak Walton league, feed these ami
mails in the winter. This area and the
park are huge game preserves which

Senators Edge and
Dill in Radio Debate
Over Dry Question

Washington, Feb. 4-(AP)-Coin
cident with the controversy aroused
by the announcement in favor of
light wines and beers by the Episco-
pal Church Temperance Society, the
prohibition question was debated to-
night on the air by two members Oh
the senate.
Speaking from the studio of WRC,
Senator Edge, Republican, New Jer-
sey, took the side of those advocating
modification of the Volstead Act,
while Senator Dill, Democrat, Wash
ington, made the rejoinder on behalf
of those opposing any change in the
law.
Senator Edge contended that mod
ification of the Volstead act within
the clear terms of the constitution
would partly subdue the spirit of
protest and challenge now SO appar-
emit"
Would it not be far better for the
morals of the nation to have a tenn
perate condition." he asked, than
to haYe prohibition that does not
prohibit but rather breeds defiance
and in addition leaves in its wake a
rapidly broadening trail of misery
and corruption
Senator Dill told his audience that
to legalize the sale of beer and light
wines would be to return to condi-
lions in prohibition days. which
he contended were. far worse than
those existing after six years of legal
prohibition.
There is only one course to follow
if we are to remedy the evils that
confront u.s." he said. That is the
straightforward, honest course of
obeying and enforcing the law"

Hickey Pokey Play Is
DELIGHTFUL Affair

The annual Hockey Pokey play, CIV
en- last evening at the Acme was a
delightful affair and much appreci-
ated nv those who saw it, There
was a matinee at 2.30 in the after
noon and. a second performance at
in the evening. The high school or
chestra under the direction OF MISS
Melya Pettingill of the high school
faculty furnished music. There were
many appreciative and compliment
ary remarks heard concerning their
fine work. Miss Sarah Fuller gave
one of her pleasing solo dances be-
tween the acts.
The play itself, "The Path Across
the HILL" was of much interest.
There is considerable plot to hold the
attention of the audience. more OF
this element than is usual In high
school plays. The comedy situations
were numerous and brought many
laughs. The parts were all well tax
en-, so well that it would be impos-
sible to discriminate between the
players to praise any particular one.
All were well adapted to their parts
and all interpreted them well. Ralph
Brown, the director, scored another
triumph in this play.
The scene Of the play was the liv-
ing room of a modern house in an
eastern village. The characters were
such as one might readily meet In
such an environment. The parts were
taken as follows: Samuel Crawford,
grandpa, Alvin Johnson; Robert Post,
a visitor, Milton Ballard; Walter
Conrad, Ruth's brother, Enrol Ridge
well; Ruth Conrad, known as Bob
bie," Anna Emery; DIR. Jimmie Reed,
Lloyd Boothby; Salamander Alexan-
der John Henry Jones, Harry May
ers; Mrs. Davis, grandma, Priscilla
Hamilton; Flo Gray, Ruth's cousin,
Helen Graves; Lutte, bright and vi
vacious neighbor girl, Helen Pearce;
Zuzu, the colored cook. Catherine
Fish.
The play was a success from start
to finish and it's presentation should
be a matter of pride to Hallowell
citizens. Both cast and director are
to be congratulated.
