PURE FOOD LAW INSURES TRUE
 LABEL ON SALMON.

In years gone by, it was the custom of the h. dans in the Northwest and in Alaska to catch salmon during the season and dry and store them for winter. The Indians still do this in Canada and Alaska, but most of. us get salmon from cans. The demand for canned salmon has increased greatly in the last 20 and the canning business is now eof the largest and most inn portant of the food d-manufacturing indutres, &C., cording to Dr. A. c. Hunter of the Federal Food and Drug Administration.
 Recent discoveries indicate that canned salmon contains vitamin D. It has been known for some time that this fish contains some of the other vitamins and that it possesses considerable food value. While all of the varieties when properly canned wholesome because of the enforcement of the national pure food law there is considerable difference in the qualities of salmon found the market" says Doctor Hunter
 There five leading varieties of canned sal mon. The kind generally considered to be choicest is spring caught Columbia River chinook and this sort generally costs more money than the other four varieties The others, in order of popular preference are Red Cor sockeye), medium red Cor cohoe), pink and chum There is considerable difference between the genuine red and the medium red salmon, and there is price difference of approximately 75 cents per dozen cans. Chum salmon is the cheapest kind packed, but it is nutritious and wholesome wher properly canned It lacks the color and oil of the better grades.
 The administration quite frequently encounters where packers have mislabeled their fish tc variety. For example, medium red salmon has been labled as red, superior grade. The Govern. ment has taken numerous actions, under the pure food law, against salmon packers who have bee. guilty of this sort of mislabeling.

The Employed.
(NeW York TimeS.)

If the forecast of American Federation of Labor Iofficals true the peak of unemployment this Winter will find 75O0oOO persons without work That lis the dark view of the matter and sufficiently lsCmber picture it makes somewhat cheerler
 statement of the would show that if in the next two months to have 100000 people without employment it means that we shall still
 have Al 100000 people in employment. The Federal census last April enumerated very nearly 48400000 persons in ganful occupations Forty million people at work would give us something less than six persons with job against person idle. Or I've may say that at the height of unemployment
 we shall still have many people at work as were found in all gainfu occupations in the years 1920. That number 40,615,000 men and women Actual fly our showing would be somewhat better today, since unemployment in the best of years numbers
 close millions In this hard Winter therefore, we are likely to have 100000 more people with jobs than were at work in 1920. But of course today workers have to support a population about 16 per cent larger than in 1920.
 One consideration which gives to employment numbers in the total higher production value to-
 day than formerly is the decline in child labor In
 the year 1910 for instance, there very nearly I2 100000 children under the age of 16 in gainful occupations Ten years later the number down
 to something million. From local and State
 figures for the 193O it is plain that the past
 decade has witnessed almost as sharp decline pro-
 portionatey since 1920. The number of workers
 under 16 today must be not much than half la million, instead of million and quarter, if the 1920 ratio prevailed today, more than two land half million child workers if living under 1910 conditions.
 This is state of affairs which lends itself to Ia double interpretation The fact that today only one worker in a hundred is child under 16 justifes us in saying that every unemployed work Ter means greater hardship than it did formerly A
 person thrown of work is likely to be adult and the head of family than formerly. But from
 the national instead of the individual standpoint
 the argument runs the other way. If count en- ployment instead of unemployment, it means more
 for the country if its Al lOO0000 persons at work
 are mostly all grown and women than if there were a couple of million children among them. Since in the last resort and until the return of normal times the employed of the nation must carry the unemployed, it is a consideration that
 employed shoulders today sturdier than they were in the days of widespread child labor.

Avoiding Vain Effort.
(New York Times.)


 Democratic leadership in Congress has shown gesture of preparing new rate schedules has been lof Republican Senate and Republican President have been marshaed for certain changed rates against a veto the new would not have been Democatic; it would have been mongrel There lis no 1882 issue to be found in coalition tariff bill These facts must have been apparent to the members of the rank and file with tariff sched- ules in their desks as they were to the leaders. The country will also approve the statement of the Democratic Policy Committee that sound public policy" is act speedily practicable to balance the budget"
 Tariff orators need not be too cast down by the decision not to try to revise the tariff rates at this time. In the bill introduced yesterday there is plenty to talk about With leave to print, any member can fill pages of the Record about the Simmons agreement, the proposed consumers counsel for the Tariff Commission, the increased commission powers, the decreased Presidential powers, and the international tariff conference which the report that accompanies the measure authorizes MT. Hoover to summon. In proposing the enactment of the Sim mons agreement the Democratic Policy Committee leaves both the party free-traders and the forreve- nue-ony doctrinaries in the background and ap- breaches the viewpoint of protection. It is not exactly the Pennsylvania Republican kind of pro- tection, but it is a little nearer the 1928 Omaha speech of Alfred E. Smith than the tariff blanks drafted at Houston by Senator Hull of Tennessee. However the language is cautious-the situation re- quiring itso that the policy committee may chamber without embarrassment upon the platform blanks on which MT Hull stands

NEW BOOK IS PUBLISHED BY
 E. BRETT YOUNG
Jessie Fauset Introduces New American Group
 Tn Novel
By WARE TORREY

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-"Mr. and Mrs. Pennington, by Francis Brett Young, contributes a quiet sojourn in an English industrial town to the weeks excursions in books.
 The placid mood persists through the book, despite the dismays and troubles of Dick and Susie, Dicks trial in coroner's court for mur- der and the many temperamenta adjustments of the young people to married life.
 Francis Brett Young's fooled and finished style gives substance to a rather mildly conceived plot.
 A new group of Americans is in- troduced into fiction in Jessie Fauset's novel, The Chinaberry Tree"-the cultured and educated negro.
 zona Gale says, in the books in- troduction:
 Tt seems strange to affirm-as news for many that there is in America a great group of Negroes of education and substance who are living lives of quiet interests and pursuits, quite unconnected with white folk save as these are casu- ally met They merit the aware ness of their fellow-countrymen. 7
 Miss Fauset not only presents her characters convincingly, but in- wolves them in plot of perception and power.

 For years these pelicans had been fed by fishermen from their surplus catch and the fishermen longer had any fish to spare They noticed that the pelicans lan- guished and grew thin, and it dawned on them that they had forgotten how to fish for themselves.
 So they went down the coast and found some unpampered pelicans who had never been ruined by easy living and free fish. They turned them loose among the starving birds who sat about the beach and complained of the depression
 The way those imported pelicans went out after their own fish was an eye-opener. Pretty soon the hungry natives quit watch ing and tried it themselves. They discovered there was plenty of fish in. the sea for the

FEWER FUR ANIMALS.

Farmers and trappers are trapping fewer ful animals each year says the Bureau of Biological Survey Some of the causes of this are: Over trapping for many years in reduced breeding areas low prices for raw furs in the last few years, and the drought of 1930 which reduced the number of fur animals. The floods of 1927 also destroyed many fur animals in the Mississippi Basin and New England The number of foxes, martens, mnks fishers, and beavers reaching the market are de- creasing, says the bureau but there still many skunks opossums, raccoons, and muskrats. The muskrat which breeds often and raises large fam lilies, is of the biggest fur producers.

Efforts Will Be Made to Insure
Increased Output Of Fish,
Maurek Says

An outline of the state game and
fish departments 1882 program was
announced Monday by Commissioner
Burnie Maurek.
The program calls for trapping and
distributing $4,000 ring-necked pheas-
ants, the trapping to be carried on
in Dickey. Richland and Sargent
counties where the birds are plenti-
full.
Efforts will be made to insure an
increased output of fish and fry from
the hatcheries at Lisbon, Spiritwood
and st. John, while rescue work of
fish from below the dam in the Shey-
enne river at Lisbon will be contin-
ued, the fish obtained to be trans
ferred to other waters in the state.
Removal Of rough fish, such as
carp and Buffalo fish, will be con-
tinued from lakes 50 as to preserve
available fish food for the game var
ieties. Work of this nature has been
begun at Spiritwood, Beaver and
Powers lakes, and during the year
similar operations will get underway
in other waters.
COnSlQeraDle progress, Maurek Salu,
has been made on surveys of lakes
and streams of the state with view
to determining their possibilities as
fishing resorts.
Many Desirable Spots
While approximately $4,000 acres
of land in the state are now dedicat-
ed to game refuge purposes, and have
been posted properly, Maurek said,
there are yet many desirable spots in
which refugees can be established.
These areas, he said, will be set aside
as state game refugees as rapidly as
possible.
Some consistent program Of YER
min eradication and control must be
carried out, the game commissioner
said, II the refugees are to accomplish
the full purpose for which they are
created. The payment of a small
bounty on crows during the months
Of the year when they hatch and rear
their young was suggested as a sti-
mulus to a more active campaign to
eradicate them. This is a project
which must be financed by county
funds, as there is no provision for the
payment of a crow bounty out of the
state treasury.

1.-THE experiences of the last two
years indicate that this question
should not be viewed as one peculiar
to the sportsmen and the seeker after
recreation but rather as a feature
that vitality affects the farmer and
those dependent upon him, for the
conservation of water in streams and
lakes is closely allied with rainfall in
all its phases. A start in this direc-
ton has been made in this state with
out involving q great expenditure of
money. The department has given
financial aid to some projects of this
character and as additional funds are
available other plans will be consid-
ered."
1.-The artificial creation of bodies Of

opportunities but it provides breed

that must receive much thought and

wild ducks and geese are to remain
numerous enough for hunting pur-
poses. Some of the projects which
present themselves for consideration
