HTOCK-KIMiINU A MM AIM A single wolf in Colorado took a toll of nearly 13000 worth of rattle In one year; In Texas, 2 wolves kill ed 72 sheep valued at $9 each during a period of two weeks; In Oregon. 4 coyote In two nights Idled 1G pure bred rams vnlucd at $20 each; and I bobcat In New Mexico In one month killed ill lambs, 1 ewe, and 1 goat belonging to a single ranchman These points are bought out In a re port on the work of the Hiireau of HloloKical Survey of the I'nltcd Slates Department of Agriculture for the flcal year ended June 30, 1917. The destruction of such stock killing animals has a iliresct bearing on the increased production and con servation of the Nation's food sup ply. Their control means that stock and poultry raising can be conduct ed with safety, and with this In view the bureau employs a force of 175 to 300 hunters and trappers who hunt these animals. They accept no bounties from any source, all skins of animals taken becoming tho pro perty of the Government. Last year the proceeds from this source amounted to approximately $36,000. During the year 30.G12 predatory animals were taken. Including G56 .crease In prices for a long time, even wolves. 22,342 coyotes, 107 BOM after the war Is over. tain lions., I,0 bobcats, and 60 It musl be remember: d that the bears.

Murphy, formerly In charge of the American Red Croaa work In Prance, who re turned to thla country Sunday. MaJ Murphy resigned from the Ked Cross to Join the staff of General Purshlug, says a New York dispatch. "I cannot describe the things (hat Germany has done In women and children and the poor, old suffering people In coUnrles where she has set her drcudful foot,'' Major Murphy said. "Ilritlsh offic ers told of scores of wounded Kng- llsh soldiers piled In heaps and then bombarded with band grenudes. It will be but a short time before our boys are going to suffer those same things. You have got to build, and sacrifice, no matter what It costs to heat, that beast." Muildlng up the spirit of the peo ple behind the lines In Kurope Is the great work of tho Hod Croaa, the speaker declared. Contributors to the lied Cross In this country have thus become one of the largest fac tors In the war, he said. "Up to this day. Germany la vic torious In this war." Major Murphy continued. "Any peace that is made on the basis of today's conditions WOttld be practically a complete vic tory for Germany and for the German Idea Germany has lost nothing In Germany's rhlef occupation these davs Is coaching the Kumilan bear In the correct form of that proposed "scrap of paper".
