STOW RELIC
Dr. Gifford of Omalia Tells Hu
mane Society All Killing
of Harmless Animals
Should Stop.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 29.—Dr. H. Gif
ford, of Omaha, told delegates at
tending the annual convention of the
American Humane association hero
that the "instinct to kill, which is the
basis of all* hunting for sport, is a
relic of the stone age.”
Speaking on the preservation of
wild life, Dr. Gifford declared that
the time had come when persons in
terested in out of door life should
consider the necessity of drastic leg
islation for the total suppression of
the destruction of harmless bird's and
beasts.
"As a result of so-called sport,” he
said, “the birds and animals com
monly classified as game are rapidly
approaching extinction. Ethically
speaking, the only justifiable hunter
is the ‘pot-hunter.’ He kills because
he needs the food or has to make a
living this way, while the sportsman
tc whom the pot-hunter is the scum
of the earth, kills for the fun of kill
ing, and from a standpoint of human
ity is ages behind the man who shoots
for a living.”
A division among the delegates on
the question of child insurance de
veloped today and a resolution con
demning the practice was sent back
to the resolutions committee for
amendment.
The convention, which has been in
session since last Monday will come
to a close tomorrow when the 1921
meeting place will be selected.

survive injuries sustained Tuesday
night on the road about 12 miles
north of Council Bluffs. His car
overturned and threw him into a
cornfield where he was found by an
officer unconscious. He has not re
covered consciousness.
The shaded areas of the above map indicate the coal mining fields
in Great Britain and the relative size of the fields. The vastness of these
mines can be estimated from the fact that 1,000,000 men earn their liveli
hood digging coal in the British Isles. It is these men who struck re
ieently, closing practically every mine. Enough men were left on the
job at each mine, however, to keep the pits free from water and in
working condition.

Because They Don't Think.
From the Dearborn Independent.
At a motion picture theater recently,
young girl and^youth entered and took
seats near the center of the house As -
soon as they had disposed of their
wraps, they began to talk in no rhodu<
lated tones. The young man would ala®
constantly tap with his foot upon the
chair in front. The girl, after discov
ering that she had seen the picture be
fore, began to outline to her escort what
was coming next. At last, a gentleman
sitting in front of them, in righteous in
dignation, turned and asked witheringly,
“Have you two got the foot and mouth
disease?”
And all because they have failed to
learn that the first requisite of a lady
or gentleman is to be considerate of
others. They are not vicious. They do
not go to the theater for the purpose
of annoying people. They simply do
not think.
Hundreds of letters from manufac
turers, coal operators, railway man
agers, farmers and others have been
received at Ellis Island, offering Jobs
to immigrants, as a result of activities
of the newly organized bureau of i: i
migration distribution.
