WiM Life Suffering Heartily

A HEAVY burden of responsibility rests upon
the Biological Survey of the Department of
Agriculture and such private organizations as
the Izaak Walton League and other sportsmen's
and nature lovers associations as the depletion
of the wild life of the country goes on at an
alarming rate.
Many factors enter into the steadily lessen
ing animal and bird populations of the country
in spite of all the efforts at conservation
through provision of game preserves and game
laws. Destruction of natural habitatS Of wild
animals and birds through drainage undertak-
1ngs has had serious effect. Naturally where
drainage projects are vital to human welfare,
consideration for the wild life must go by the
boards, but in the opinion of Dr. Paul G.
Redington of the Biological Survey, all such
projects are not vital and may even be eco
nomically unsound
Forest fires, water pollution drought and pred
atory animals also takes heavy toll. The un-
sportsmanlike hunter who either } through
Ignorance or open defiance of the law takes far
heavier toll than permitted is destructive to the
game population of the country and in his
case corrective or educational work might be of
decided advantage
Unfortunately. many hunters seeing a swamp,
for instance, well crowded with wild fowl might
jump to the conclusion that all the agitation

a Rumpler popped out of the clouds The
opportunity was too good to miss, and
we gave chase I was first within range
and let the German have a couple OF
bursts. The Rumpler banked sharply,
scurried for the clouds like a mouse for
it's hole, with me after it, gaining rapid
ly. So close was that even in the milky
mist of the clouds I could see the dark
blur Of the other plane and hammered
away at it with both guns.
We were out of the clouds before
knew it. I fired a few bursts and saw
the traeers 60 in. The Rumpler plunged
out of control, caught fire and crashed
on the beach.
MISUNDERSTANDING was a thrilling but
dangerous detail and, frankly, I wasn't
keen about it. The odds against troops
on the ground were much too high to
make it a sporting proposition. But, of
course, war is war, and ground attack
then, as now, was firmly established
means of breaking down enemy morale.
A case in point is the series of ground
attacks delivered on September 23, when
the allied push got under way. We
climbed over the lines and got down to
800 feet near Thourout, where there were
masses of German troops, including a
long column of artillery. Our guns and
bombs created frightful havoc among
men and horses.
"I held no personal animosity toward
Germans and I love horses, and those
men and animals milling in frightened
confusion were terrible sight, but in

for conservation is founded upon an exag-
gerated fear Of shortage. What they do not
realize, however is that many of the marshes
and swamp areas formerly heavily populated
have been drained and the birds they see may
have come from far greater distance than i'll
earlier times.
Existing marshes in themselves contain
threat which the hunters unwittingly have
placed there through their hunting activities.
Far-fetched as it may seem at first consider
alton, it has nevertheless been proven true that
the shot fired from shells of the hunters which
has fallen into the mud bottoms Of hunting
areas has accumulated in the years to the point
where the ducks in feeding have taken the
shot into their stomachs and died later Of
lead poisoning. Far too -asany cases of this
sort have been investigated by Federal ex-
perts to leave any doubt as to the truth of the
belief.
The hands of the Federal Government are
tied to a large extent in enforcing Federal
game laws, for there are only 25 game protectors
on the Federal pay roll. A handful such as this
can make little headway over the country at
large. Experts believe that if the wild life is
to be preserved it must be through educational
work and the awakening of public realization
of the protective steps necessary if many species
of wild animals and birds not to go the way

and mountains

IT was the last to leave. I was con-

he hit his ball as hard as he could
Then something very surprising
happened. Uncle Wiggily's ball hit
the Fox on his nose. And Mr..
Twistytails ball hit the Bob Cat
on his nose, "Whacko!"
"Wowp howled the Fox.
wow" howled the Bob Cat.
Then they both ran away as
fast as they could run, for their
noses hurt them very much. And
the Weasel who mad come to see
the nibbling fun, also ran away
because the two Bad Chaps didn't
do any nibbling.

They found their balls where
they had bounced off the noses of
the Fox and Bob Cat and again
began to play. Mr.. TwiStytail drove
his ball a long distance and started
walking after it as neither he nor

The fat pig waddled to where
he had last seen Uncle Wiggily.

And there are no trees or
bushes near behind which he
might be hidden,' grunted the
pig. This is very strange. First,
Wiggy loses his golf ball and then
ne loses himself. He disappeared
before my very eyes! Wiggyl

are you?"
There was no answer. The pig
saw where the rabbit had trampled
down the grass, looking for the
ball, but Mr.. LongearS himself was
gone as completely as his lost ball.
Mr.. Twistytail was much puzzled
but the puzzle will be solved for

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE

"COMETHING must be done about the
u affairs Of the Imperial Irrigation
district"
One hears the remark wherever two
or three citizens get together to discuss
anything from baseball to politics.
But what must be done? What can
the people of Imperial Valley do to
bring about a solution of the financial
debacle which now confronts them?
Ranting on the street corners. con-
demning the district, refusing to pay
taxes, declaring the bankers are at fault
all these and many more substitute
panaceas-are of no avail.
The Press has said before that a con-
struetive program must be offered
Thus far no such program on which all
could agree. has been forthcoming from
any of the various groups which have
given consideration to the present state
of affairs
This publication believes, and knows
positively that many more in Imperial
Valley believe, that the solution of the
district trouble is placing one man in
charge of the entire outfit and making
him responsible for its complete opera
tion-physical, business and financial.
The directors advise that this cannot
be done without changing the law. This
being true then let's change the law.
The change can be accomplished, if the
people really wish it. True, it will re-
quire time, but assurance that the dis
tant future will not permit a recur-
renee of the present condition, would
make possible the necessary patience to
stand the latter until the change could
be made.
Meantime-until the change could be
is to be done?
The bankers have again shut off
credit to the district. The district is
not collecting enough money to pay its
current way, to say nothing of meeting
approaching obligations. Some taxpay-
ers are refusing to pay their taxes and
others are unable to pay them
No business, any more than the indi-
vidual can function without proper
credit. This statement applies to the
district 1t must have credit to carry
on its business and if credit is denied,
it is not difficult to figure out what the
result will be.
All know that the primary trouble
with the district is politics. In the past
the board of directors of the district
has been forced to play politics to ac-
complish its ends. The primary objec-
tives-Bouder dam and the All-Ameri-
can canal-have been obtained. The old
cry of cts a move to block the dam
and canal" is still heard but it is not
true. Many who staunchly supported
every phase of the Colorado river legis-
lation are among those who are not sat
isfied with the present condition of dis
trict finances.
Politics, as concerns the Imperial r.
rigation district, must CO. In its stead
must come sound business principles and
rigid adherence to economy and re-
trenchment.
We do not believe the claim that the
action of the bankers in again withhold
ing credit is a move to obstruct con-
