.WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5. 1522. THE GAME OF PRESERVING THE GAME A Comedy in One Act B. C. RUMSEY The wild life of today is not wholly ours, to dispose of as we please. It has been given to us in trust. We must account for it to those who come after us and audit our records.”—Wyoming Game Laws. J Scene; Roon? In Plains Hotel dur ing any session ot the legislature any year. Enter committee on game laws, together with State Game Warden. Chairman ot Committee, from Wheatland, addressing members: Gentlemen, we are gathered to pro pose, discuss and recommend such laws as will be efficacious for the peservation of our game. In proffer ing your Ideas and theories anent this question, I should like those for the most part which are based on your own personal observations and expe riences throughout the big game sec tions of the state': Never falling, at the same time, to keep In mln I the welfare of your party, the Interests ot the stockmen, the amount of reve nue to be derived, the good will and votes of your constituents at home. I have asked the state game warden, Mr. Cotton Tall, from Orin Junction, to be with us, and give us the beneflt of his vast knowledge, acquired from actual observation and experience with jack rabbits and prairie dogs. We are now, gentlemen, ready for sugges tions. Politician from Riverton: I think the elk season ought to be changed from September Ist to September 15th, because some of the meat which is killed by the few'non-resident hunt ers who are in the mountains at this time of the year might spoil! (Mean while, thousands of elk are dying In tre mountains from starvation!!) Politician from Gillette: I think only mature bulls, rams and bucks should be killed, and that a law be passed compelling all males to stand, when ordered, until their ages are de termined to the satisfaction of the guides. (Elk are still dying from starvation.) Politician from Casper: It Is per fectly evident that the four million acres we now have In game preserves are Inadequate to keep elk from star vation. I would therefore like ti sug gest that it least another millicm bo added, to consist of that portion of the continental divide or territory of a like character, which at no tlmo of Garages on Cash Basis Feeling that the conditions are such as to warrant a ' change in business methods, and owing to the fact that Bmost all of our purchases are for cash, we, the following garages, have decided that we can best serve the public interest by going on a strictly cash basis, to take effct May first, 1922.

In these spring as you figure your winter’s coal bill* do you ask yourself, “Where did all the heat go?” More than likely you do. And more than likely you feel, as you felt on many a cold day, that much of the heat went somewhere outside of the rooms you were try ing to warm. And so It did. It was lost, scattered, wasted. Heat must be controlled, or radiated, just as air and water are con trolled. Radiation Is a science. And this science has proved that the surest, cheapest, safest heat Is that supplied by boiler radiators. A boiler generates steam, vapor or hot water; pipes carry the steam, vapor or hot water from boiler to radiators, which are scientifi cally placed, and which radiate the heat over a given space. This pro vides an even, moist heat —free from gases, soot and dirt—and insures real better health, and a smaller coal bill. Why not Investigate, learn the facts about lost heat and cold rooms £ and during the summer prepare to enjoy next winter? year is available for stock grazing!! (Elk still dying on game preserves from starvation.) Politician from Gillette: I would like to suggest that those killing elk legally shall send in a report as to the disposition of the liver, lungs and windpipe; age and weight of animal; going or coming; cost of trip and amount spent for candy, chewing gum and cigarettes. (Elk dying by hun dreds from Politician Ir-mx Casper: I think deer season, snould open October Ist and sheep Ocrdfrer 15th. Th’s will not only tend to discodrage* non-resi dent sportsmen from spending thou j sands of dollars in the state annually, while trying to get a few bucks and rams, but it will also help material;} in putting our citizen guides out ot business, thereby greatly increasing the game supply, so that there will be more to starve to death during a se i vere winter!! (Meanwhile, game! starving to death!) Politician: I would like to suggest, that in addition to the Greybull, ■ North and South Fork of the Sho-i shone, Thoroughfare and Yellowstone, j Dead Indian, Sunlight and Crandell * Creek country, Carl Downing should also be given that portion of the' Green River country lying south of J Big Wind river and north of the 1 Platte river. (Meanwhile, elk being killed for their teeth.) Politician: As the state has appor tioned one-sixth of all the revenue ob-1 tained from hunting licenses, etc., for : game thereby causing a deficit in other departments of the, state, I would like to suggest that all i guide licenses be raised from $lO to 125 and that the proceeds go to in crease the salaries of the prohibition • officers, their spies and henchmen. (Elk still dying from starvation.) In order to prevent the useless slaughter of guides by guides, all guides should be compelled to wear a red handkerchief, 17 3-4 inches square, fastened around their hats with safety pins. (More elk dying from starvation.) Gamj Warden: During my two weeks trip into the mountains last fall, I noticed such a scarcity of game that I would like to suggest a closed season on elk, dder and sheep for two years. This will certainly increase the herds, so that when the next se vere winter comes along we shall not only have a goodly number to starve to death, but plenty besides for the lions ond coyotes. (Meanwhile, can’t keep what elk we have from starv ing ) Politician: Inasmuch as elk aie a domestic rather than a game animal, I thing 6 1-2 more tons of hay should be provided for them during severe winters, and that such portions of the state game preserves ond other terri xcry capable if supplying them with natural feed during a severe winter, should be turned over to livestock grazing during the summer months. (Elk still starving to death.) Politician: I think we ought to pass laws revoking all of Nature’s laws and natural instincts as pertaining to the self-preservation of animals, and com pel them to eat and winter where we want them to or think they ought to, rather than by a knowledge of their habits, migrations, etc. and provide winter grazing accordingly!! (Elk still starving.) “An ounce of grass is worth a pound of laws.” Politician: I hear the U. S. govern ment pays men to trap and kill pred atory animals! That’s poor business! We should certainly charge our citi zens for that privilege! We need the money.!! (Meanwhile, game being killed by lions and coyotes.) Politician: Somebody told me that they heard that somebody said that Carl Hammitt while acting in the ca pacity of guide. Lad the seat of his pants painted baby Blue, instead of wearing the red emblem around his hat fastened with safety pins. CHORUS: Our laws must be enforced! (Game still dying from starvation.)

FORDNEY I Representative from Michigan and chairman of the house committee on ways and means who lead in the fight j for the soldiers’ bonus. IRISH MMY MINISTER REMOVED FROM CONTBOL I ‘ Regarded as Final Break; Future De pends on Soldiers Joining Strike. . Dublin. —As a counter move to the i threat of Richard Mulcahy, the dall ' eireann minister of defense, that all j persons who attended Sunday’s con j ventions under the auspices of a sec | tlon of the Irish republican army would be suspended from the army, the executive council .elected by the convention, has issued an order to all units of the army denying the min ister of defense and his chief of staff any control of the army. The order declares that Mulcahy and his chief of staff have pursued a policy calcu lated to subvert the republic and that the council, by virtue of the powers vested in it, is taking the present ac tion. The council further orders that all those serving in the paid army which Is Intended as the nucleus of the Free State army, and in the civic guard, which la the nucleus of the future po lice force, must return forthwith to their respective Irish republican army units, and that recruiting fur these bodies must ceaae. This is looked upon in Dublin as marking the final break in the army and it Is believed that the future de pends largely on which side has the effective majority of Soldiers. No Time to Linger.
