TO NUMBER FUR SEALS
Dr. Dallas Hanna Will Make Now
Census.
Purpose Is to Determine How Many
Seals Can Be Removed
Each Year.
San Francisco. Dr. o. Dallas Man
na, a member of the stall of the Cali
fornia Academy of Science, lias jnst
loft here tor Alaska, where he will
mke a census of the fur seals on the
ribiloff Islands, under the direc
tion of the United States hureuu ot
fisheries.
Doctor Ifanna has heen connected
with this work each year since I'.HIi
In 101!) it was reported that there
wore r40,(Hlfi animals in the herd. In
1910 when the government first took
over the operation of the island in
dustry, there were fewer than 200.000.
During the time when this increase
was taking place enough surplus and
useless males have been killed and
their skins sold at auction to provide
file national treasury with $3,f00,000
above all expenses, according to W.
W. Sargeant, secretary of the Cali
fornia Academy of Science.
The purpose of the census Is chiefly
to determine how many animals can
lie safely removed each year and still
provide for a maximum percentage of
increase of the herd. If the increase
in I'JJO continues as heretofore, it Is
id that there should lie about 000,000
these amphibious fur bearers, bv
far the largest herd In existence, as
well as a surplus of about 30,000 males
which can he killed for their skins.
At current prices of these furs they
will be valued at about $3,00(1,000.
"Since the cost of operation will be
less than $200,000, it is quite evident
that this Industry Is one of the best
financial enterprises the government
has," said Mr. Sargeant.
"It is capable of almost unlimited
expansion, provided the females are
lirotected at sen and the surplus males
are removed from the herd. The fight
ing of such males on the crowded rook
eries eaues a large mortality among
the females and young.
. "The carcasses of the animals killed
were formerly allowed to waste, but
last yenr a by-product plan was put
Into operation by means of which It
is expected a very superior oil and
nnlnial meal will be placed on the
market. The census which will be
taken li) 1020 will enable a close ap
proximation to be made of the quan
tities of these products which will
be available In the Immediate future."
YIELDS TO MARCH OF TIME
Old Hotel in Quincy, Mass.. Associated
With Famous Men. Is to Gecome
Business Block.
The old Hancock louse, situated in
City square, Quincy. lias ceased to be a
hotel. The present owner of the prop
erty, Henry M. I'axon, is to have the
upper part removed and the first floor
converted .into a large business block.
The hotel has only provided sleeping
quarters for a number of years.
In the days of the old stage coach
the Hancock house was one of the
leading hotels of southeastern Massa
chusetts and the first place to which
travelers resorted for refreshments.
Among the distinguished men who
have been entertained there was Dan
iel Webster, going to and from his
home on the old Plymouth coach. On
account of Sir. Webster's liberality in
dispensing good cheer it was frequent
ly a long time before the coach was
able to proceed on its trip. Mr. Web
ster was always generous in his tips to
the stable boys and bell hops of those
ancient days and history says that he
often threw .$." goldpieces to the scram
bling boys in the hotel yiird.
The present structure was built In
1S37, but several years ago the ground
floor was remodeled Into stores and
only the upper part was used as the
hotel proper. Wlien Adams academy
was in its prime the place was used as
a boarding house for students who
came to Quincy from other cities and
states and were obliged to make their
abode In the city of presidents.

TURNING TO HOME GARDENS
Indications Are That People Are Be
ginning to Realize the Danger of
a Food Famine.
A local seed store was crowded with
customers.
"What does this mean?" the propri
etor was asked.
"I guess it means that other people
are thinking what I do," he said,
"that unless food production is speed
ed up there'll be famine conditions In
this country In 1021. Farmers say they
can't get help In order to produce our
food as usual, and it's up to every man
to help himself. We run ns high as
1,200 customers a day here. This Is In
addition to a big mail-order business.
It's going to keep up like this all
through the month, too. It did last
yenr."
The seed man said that sales Indi
cated that persons who decided to re
tire from the home-garden business,
now that the war Is over, have
changed their Ideas, and that the num
ber of home gardens Is increasing In
stead of diminishing.
He added that it Is strange that
while there was much crop shortage
last year seeds of nil kinds, with the
probable exception of peas, are In am
