MOOSE HERDS THREATENED

Hunters and trapperS returning from the kenal Pen insua report almost total absence of moose calves this season; also marked scarcity of bull moose On the other hand they report seeing many without calves In instance observed followed by her cali, but apparently in high state of nervousness.
 The differences drawn that predatory animal is making heavy nroads upon the calves, and that overntng of bulls having baefu effect upon breed ing stock.
 In the absence of figures indicating the number of bulls killed in given period can but speculate on ths feature of the situation On the other hand the authorities with regard to scarcity of calves recall that during the past bears have deserted the streams and their WOnted diet of salmon to seek food elsewhere Reports also to the effect that there scarcity of berries the natural food of the bear before hbernan time
 The black bear is ordinarily an herbvorous animal and becomes cavorous only under stress of hunger and then preferng purd rather than fresh meat The woods of the opinion that something has happened to throw nature out of thm and in the process of AL askas most attractive is suffering The fact that several young caves evidently partly devoured by predatory animals with portions of the removed some distance from the site of the kill leads the belief that is the work of larger animals and not that of the small urbearng canvora feeding upon carcasses where death has been natural
 Not only has the condition respecting the bulls on the Kena Peninsula been the subject of much speculation by big game guides and trappers but this apprehension has spread to the upper Cook Inlet country where last season. trapper reported havnb encountered 25 before sighting mature bull and at time when the animals are yarding up for the winter.
 The time is propitious for the Alaska Game Commis sion to dispatch observers into the Kena Peninsula try to make careful survey of the situation with view to ascertaning the cause of the reported conditions.
 The absence of moose along the railroad and in fami far haunts adjacent to Seward serves to bear out the serton that something has happened to the herd

SEND SEEDS EARLY
FOR BEST TESTING
State Department Asks Early
Mailing of Seeds Through
County Agent Bovee

County Agent Nate H. Bovee has
received a letter from the state seed
laboratory urging farmers to send in
their seeds early this year to be test
ed.
The seeds are to be brought to the
county agents office as soon as posi-
BILE so he can send them into the De-
partment of Agriculture, St. Paul, to
be tested. In case it is inconvenient
for any of the farmers to bring in
their seeds, Mr.. Bovee suggests send
ing them direct to the seed testing
department. If sent direct to St.
Paul, the authorities have asked the
farmer to send one cup full of seeds,
write the name of the sender plainly,
name of the seed and the farmers ad-
dress.
The purpose of the department re-
questing early shipment Of seeds is
to avoid the last minute rush in
spring. Last February the Minneso-
ia department had over 10000 sam
pies on hand at one time. Better
service will be given to the farmer,
not only by quicker return of the
seeds, but more thorough job Of in
specting if they are sent in early.

the camp of the enemy. They pro- duced few which, accidentally or purposely, are hostile to Soviet ideas.
 For instance, there is a parlor version of the traditional Russian game of ''gorodki"-something like skittles or nine-pins. The pins are set up to represent different objects. In the old days these were castles, fences. etc; in the new version they are grain elevators, tractors, factories. Unfortunately the game consists in Knocking down these structures as effec- lively as possible. Now such wan ton destruction of the very things to which the Five-Year Plan aspires seems a symbol of counter revolution quite Nunsuited to the oc- casion.

Another purpose of dams is to hold back river water until it's sur face is high enough for the water to have a long drop. Water falling from a height will turn machines below, and these machines pro- duce electricity. Much electricity is produced through machines which are turned by heat from coal, but falling water is supplying a vast amount of electric power.
 Projects to produce electric pow CT from running water are being carried on in many lands. Ireland is damming the shannon river to obtain electricity. Norway is har- messing some of it's mountain streams, and Norwegians hope some day to supply Germany with elec- tric power, by sending 1t along wires stretched across a section of the Baltic sea.
 Russia has long been at work damming rivers of the Urals and other mountains in order to turn water power into electric power. To increase the amount of electric power Is one of the objects of the Five Year Plan"
 Another service of dams to man. kind is to store water in reservoirs, so it can be used for watering crops. Even in dry regions in the southwestern part of the United States, there are rivers which flow the year around. In past times most | of this water went to waste-in other words, it flowed on and on until 1t reached the seas which al- ready had plenty of water.
 Strong efforts have been made during the present century to make waters in such rivers useful to mankind. In 1910 the Roosevelt dam was completed in Arizona, the purpose being to supply farmers mad ranchmen with plenty of water for their crops and livestock. The Roosevelt dam stretches acros sthe Salt river. It is a mass of sandstone and cement as high as 20-story building It has a thickness of ITO feet at the base, and . length of 1,080 feet. The reservoir made by thsi dam Is a lake 25 miles long and, at one point, two miles wide.

DAILY NEWS LETTER
By EUGENE LYONS United Press Corrcspondent)

Moscow. (UP)-The revolution ary broom, sweeping out all that remains of the old pre-Bolshevik world, overlooked one obscure but important corner. The over sight now has been exposed by the press in sensational headlines.
 It is in the domain of children's s games and toys, where the atmos- phere of capitalist comfort per- sists instead of a Soviet atmos- phere of technical progress. In- stead of developing thousands of Soviet Edisons" as the Com munist Youth Pravda" puts 1t, the toys develop bourgeois tastes in the youngest generation.
 That amounts to counter-revo- lution in the domain of playthings has been discovered. And it is so pervasive that the horrible ex- amples cited in the press range all the way from rattles for teething infants, to parlor games foI grown-up boys and girls.
 Bourgeois Enironment
 "A trivial bourgeois family en- vironment" is reflected by the toys now available to Soviet childhood, one investigator for the press found. Toilet table with mirrors. chests of drawers. old-fashioned carved and upholstered furniture family china, little samovars cradles with doilies-these are the main items on sale."
 The dollars especially counter revolutionary: Rag dolls with cross-eyes and big stomachs painted clowns, rubber peasants with whistles in their stomachs aristocratic young ladies with curls laces and bows"
 The Communist Youth Pravda by way of exhibit publishes a pic ture of one of these dolls. It is supposed to be a peasant but Il is every inch of it's 12 inches 8 | "Kulak" well-fed, bushy-beaded with brand-new clothes and boots | Certainly he doesn't resemble the real average peasant.
 Old Fashioned Toys Strapped
 Whatever the children may think of it, their Communist, cid CTS demand that all the oid-fash' toned toys be scrapped. Child play under the red flag must hereafter concern itself with modern indus trial technique and the construc' ton of socialism.
 "To-day we need" one of these elders writes, "polytechnical toys toys to acquaint our children witl materials and the machine prin' ciples."
 He proceeds to elucidate tha under capitalist governments toys are for the children of the better to-do and rich. Workers children he claims, cannot afford them. But under the Soviets toys are for th< proletarian youth and must thefe 1 fore be of new type.

MRS MINNIE MA
 KENNEDY SEEKS
 FOR SEPARATION
Thrill of That Romance, She Talked About So Much, Has Ended in Parting of the Ways

Los Angeles. July 17-UP)- Mrs Minnie Ma" Kennedy, moth- CT of Aimee Semp1e McPherson, and the Rev G. Edward "What-a- Man" Hudson, who was married to, her three weeks ago, tempor- arily pursued separate courses to- day after the filing of an annul- ment suit by Mrs Kennedy. The separation, Mrs Kennedy and Hudson agreed. will end just as soon as Hudson's tangled mat rimonial adventures can be strengthened out. Pending that Mrs Kennedy warned, those other janes better leave my man alone"
 The veteran ecangelists suit was filed late yesterday after 1t was determined definitely that the Rev Hudson, whose nickname What a-Man" was given him by Mrs Kennedy, had failed to dissolve at least one previous marriage before he took the VOWS with Mrs Ken nedy.
 "It was the only way out sighed Ma" as she explained the legal action Another woman claims she still Is legally wed to my man. So we will have our mar riage annulled, live apart until he is freed, then get married all over again."
 "Isn't that right?" she asked of the Rev Hudson.
 Sure" replied the minister.
 And, furthermore" added Mrs Kennedy, "I wouldn't want a man who couldn't interest other women, He does, but just let those other lanes follow him until they fall down in a heap. They can't have him! I'll fight for him because he's mine He's going to stay mine, too.
 I'm in for long seize of being lonely, but. I'll put up with It un- til we can be together again. Then we'll be SO happy. And whats more, I wouldn't trade the last three weeks for all the rest of my life" On the night of June 2S at Longview, Wash. under a full moon at midnight, Mrs Kennedy. a grandmother who says she ex- pects soon to be a great grand m other. was married to the young CT Hudson.
 They came south on their honey I moon and took place at the beach near here where "What-a- Man" served Mrs Kennedy breakfasts in bed and attempted to keep out newspapermen. The reporters won. howe"er Hudson was interviewed and pho tographed and the next day three different women who saw the pic lures in the papers claimed TO- mantle adventures with the min- ister.
 One was Mrs l.. Margaret New | ton Hudson, Los Angeles, who said Hudson married her after a whirlwind courtship and left her only six months ago. It was this marriage which formed the basis for Mrs Kennedy's annulment suit
 No mention was made in Mag action of Mrs Guy Edward Hud- son of Denver, said to have claimed Hudson resembled the man she married and never di- vorced, nor to Mrs Ethel Harbert Los Angeles, who claimed Hudson obtained a license to marry her but disappeared before the cere- mony.
 Hudson appeared at the down town office where Mrs Kennedy signed her complaint. He was tac- turn, but did say he intended to remarry Mrs Kennedy later.
