WILD-LIFE CONSERVATION
The Select Committee on Con-
servation of Wild-Life Resources,
created pursuant to a resolution
of the Seventy-Third Congress,
has brought In a report *hat is
disquieting. First, it Is s'ated. as
a result of its extensive Investi-
gations and hearings, that there
Ls not only a steady decrease of
game and game fish, but a cor-
responding Increase in the num-
ber of hunters and fishermen,
due partly to the increased num-
ber of unemployed and partly to
the Increased Interest In outdoor
life. And as to land wild life,
there Is an alarming decrease
due to the drainage, deforesta-
tion, erosion, fire, disease, water
pollution nnd the Increasing
number of hunters. An Ironic In-
stance Is furnished In the com-
plete devastation (thru drain-
age) of an area which, by proc-
lamation of President Theodore
Roosevelt, was set apart as nurs-
eries for wild fowl. "Ding,” now
“Mrs. Darling, chief of the Unit-
ed State bureau of biological sur-
vey,” gave like testimony about
another area In the same state.
Oregon, once the greatest breed-
ing ground for wild life and wa-
ter fowl In the country. Water
has been led off for Irrigation
purposes, but the extravagant
enterprise has failed; meanwhile
the wild life has disappeared.
These are but Instances of
what is going on in many parts
of the country. This means not
only en economic loss by reason
of the destruction of certain in-
(the fishing Industry
represents e billion dollar busi-
ness), but the devastation of a

How Much
Is A Dollar and a Half ?
Dave Ha rum said, “When you get hold
of ten dollars get it into you or onto you
as soon as you can, for there ain't no pockets
in a shroud, and you're along tim; dead."
If you had nothing but money you
wimfd~berpoor indeed It is-iKe things for
which you can exchange the money you
earn that set the standards of your living
comforts and conveniences.
You know this. But do you know that
it is you who largely determine the value
of your dollar?
Many things contribute to the distance
a dollar will go, but the greatest agent in
"value received” is ADVERTISING.
The advertisements in this paper tell
you about the best grades of merchandise.
They tell you where they are and for how
much.
They tell you of the new things that
manufacturers are producing to make
your dollars of real worthtoyouin greater
comforts, better living, more enjoyment-
Start the year right. Read the adver-
tisements. Take time to save time. Read
and save walking. Search the ads to save
searching the stores. And to make the
dollars go farther. Start the year right.
