ASK YOUR LEAGUE DEALER OR csil ore iy (NOT FIRE) Nowhere else on earth at any time in the world's history has there ever been such a concentration of large animals as that which was present on the grassy plains of the North American continent when the bison herds roamed the land. Only sketchy estimates are available as to the numbers of hoofed animals contained in the herds. Roughly, there were at least a hundred mil lion buffalo alone and prob ably there were nearly that many proghorn antelope. Vast herds of elk ranged the north ern two-thirds of America from Pennsylvania to the Pa cific' ocean, swelling the ani mal population to a stagger ing five hundred million in dividuals. . Slaughtered for Tongues Across the prairies of the Old West, the Indian and his palefaced brother rode, kill ing the great beasts. At first the animals were killed for food; then for sport, then for hides. At one time they were slaughtered by hundreds of thousands ' just for their tongues. Millions were killed just because they made a good target. They were shot from moving trains and left to rot under the western sun. When the hide hunters went through the west, they killed and skinned the buffalo and left the carcasses. Buffalo robes covered the laps of most people who had to brave win ter storms and cold. It is claimed that at one. time man could step from one bison skull to the next across an entire state without once touching the ground. There were times when entire areas had to be avoided because of the stench of rotting bodies. 'Always Plenty' ' Naturally, the animals could not withstand such an impact, and their numbers declined at an alarming rate. There were then, as there are now, some half-wise folks who claimed. 'There will always be plenty of buffalo." i But by the turn of the last century, what had been a hundred million had dwindled to a pitiful remnant of 500 individuals, and these sur vived only because a few wise and farsighted men realized that a majestic animal was being victimized by greed, stupidity and ignorance. Today, but few of the bison remain. There are small, iso lated herds under constant protection and mostly fenced- in - a pitiful remnant of the once mighty herds that ac tually shook the earth with their' pounding hooves. The thundering herds now are hardly an audible whisper. Gone, too, are the antelope herds, the elk and most of the others. What is left is passing, too; the bighorn sheep will have to struggle desperately to last another decade; their range is becoming limited. The inevit able end approaches; already the great hoofed creatures, with the exception of the white-tailed deer, are gallop ing into oblivion.

(UPlTelephoto) Farm Income Under Eisenhower Down Washington - 1UPII - A gov ernment report today indi cates that net farm ' income under the Dwight D. Eisen hower administration dropped nearly $22 billion below the total for the preceding eight years. This is actually a re duction of about $21.6 billion. The report from the Agri culture Deoartment did not refer to this figure. ! What USDA furnished was a preliminary estimate of net farm income in 1960. This figure was added to earlier re ports to get the total for the eight Eisenhower years. It says net farm income in 1960 rose about 3 per cent above 1959. This would put the 1960 figure at about $11.6 billion, bringing the total for the Eisenhower years to about $95.5 billion. Net farm income for the eight preceding years adds up to a total of $118.1 billion, a difference of $21.6 billion. JAVITS HITS KENNEDY Washington -DOT- Sen. Ja cob K.

Thornton Predicts Trouble in Japan Salem IUPD Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton predicted Monday the United States is headed for more trouble in Japan and the Far East dur ing 1961. Addressing a Great Deci sions forum, Thornton said he felt "the multiple forces be hind the Tokyo riots of last June are still at work." "The immediate goal of the Sino-Soviet block in the Far East," Thornton said, "is to force the expulsion of U. S. bases from Japan, Okinawa, the Ryukus and Formosa." t. "A target of equal import ance to the Communist plan of conquest in Asia is the Japan- U. S. mutual security treaty. he said. The treaty was rati fied in spite of Toyko riots last year. "I do not think that the Jap anese people will ever volun tarily embrace Communism," Thornton said, "but we must be prepared for more picket ing and demonstrations at our defense installations, embas sies, and consulates." Thornton said he felt the "Reds will continue to chip away at the U. S. position wherever and whenever the opportunity presents itself. "They will try to exploit anti-American feeling and na tive neutralist movements in Asia to embarass us or to cause us to lose world pres tige," he said.
