SHORT DUCK SEASON
 CALLS FUR b|C WAR
 ON CAME RACKETEER

WASHINGTON, D. O., Sept. F. |Hl-Following the second recent slashing of the Federal hunting season on migratory waterfowl, limiting it to one month in every section of the country but at varying times so tn a t actual shooting will be available almost continuously from October l to December 19, Seth Gordon, presi- dent of the American Game As sociation, has declared that only the active cooperation of sports men in enforcing the emergency regulation can avert dangers which will threaten to destroy it's ef- fectiveness.
 There is still large racketeer- ing element in this country nlak- ing living by slaughtering and bootlegging waterfowl" MT. Cor don warned. With the Federal and State protective forces notor- iously inadequate, the presence of real Sportsmen in the field has always been chief deterrent upon illegal practices. This shortest Legitimate season on record will leave wild ducks and geese at the mercy of game bootleggers for a longer period unless the sports linen make it a point to remain ac- lively on the job"
 1 He also warned that if the duck hunters insist upon killing their legal limit daily and if those of sufficient means insist upon fol- lowing the season southward and thereby profiting by what would amount to three separate seasons, much of the effort to tide water fowl over the present crisis will be wasted The Federal regula- tion will permit shooting through Iout October in the northern States, from November 16 to December Is in the south with the exception of Florida, and in Florida from November 20 to December 19.
 The emergency measure, adopted by the Department of Agriculture and approved by President Hoo- yer in the first proclamation ever issued by a President on water fowl conservation, was necessi- tated by a serious shortage re- sulting from drought and drain age conditions affecting the most important terfowl breeding grounds increasingly over a per iod of 10 years.

EARNINGS REPORTED.

NEW YORK, March 3 (P).-The Hol-
land Furnace Co. today reported that
1880 was the second best year in the
c9mpany's history, both in the volume
of business and net profits.
Although net for the year was below
that of the peak year of 1929, it showed
a substantial increase over figures for
1928. Net for 1880 was 81 ,655 ,029, equal
to $3.50 a share on the common, against
81, 202 ,378, or S4.85 a common share, in
1929. and $1,245,189, or $2.65 share,
in 1928.
The statement said that while the
heating industry, as whole, showed a
very substantial decline in sales VOL
ume during the year as compared with
previous years, it is significant that our
sales decrease was only To per cent,
which is due to the fact that more than
rs per cent of our sales are for replace
ments, so that we are not dependent
upon new building"
Diamond Shoe Co. and subsidiaries
for 1880 had net profit of 1882 ,344, equal
to 1891 a common share, against ST.
186,624, or $472 common share, in the
previous year.

Corporation for 1890 we're equal to 3.66
a common share, against $500 share
In 1929.

ing bearish factors.
Opening unchanged TO xa34 cents
off, wheat afterward held near to int-
tial figures. Corn started at g decline
to "a advance, and subsequently rallied
Rain in Texas and snow in Kansas
and Nebraska tended to encourage
wheat selling and there were Liverpool
advices that exporting countries led by
Australia had begun pressing wheat
upon European purchasers. Reports
said United States Farm Board SUBJ
salaries also had disposed of moderate
quantities of wheat overnight to Ant
werp at the lowest prices so far, IL to

Scarcity of corn offerings after price
setbacks led to a show of independ-
ence by the corn market. Ensuing adj
vanceS were associated with a falling
of in the volume of primary receipts.
Total arrivals were $4,000 bushels,
compared with l ,407 900 q week ago
Chicago had 178 cars, against 286 last
week. Oats followed wheat rather than
