Kelley, Junior Biologist, Hotl Conservation Service. Spartanburn. 8. C.) Fur in game la essenitally a product of laud and Ih as characteristically agricultural a# timber, farm crop#, or doim-Mtic livestock. Human capacity to transform the land surface and render it unfit for habitation by wildlife, particularly game, baa been clearly demonsl rated by the rapidly decreasing numberH of game which accompanied the frenzied human effort# to in< reuse the number of cultivated acres when crop price# were soaring. That a rever#al of the de#trucllve proce## (ran bring about an amazing rcHtoratlon of game hu# ul#o been amply demonstrated in many loealltie# Moreover, game represent# a ' crop which, tiiougli requiring a tnltiimuin expenditure, yield# a harvestable surplu# in favorable environment#. it follow#, then, thut game . cannot he ignored in any comprehensive, well considered plan for land utilization. Through tiie properly coordinated use of ill# land, the farmer may do much, not only to #uve the remnant# but ul#o to increase greatly the number# of game on hi# farm. To deal intelligently with the problem, however, roquireB <an appreciation and understanding of the requirement# of the game. With the#e requirement# dearly in mind, wildlife value# should be measured against land value# for other use# and the land put to the sanest u#e, The basic requirement# for game are a sufficient, available and varied food supply Cover and protection against enemies. Range which offers suitable nesting place#. 'I hese requisite# call for area# definitely devoted t<> the use of game. Su? h areas as hedge row#, gullies, badl> eroded fields, fence corners. and other marginal and Hiih-marginal an as are of little or no value for other nse.u |,in are, or can he made, havens t?>r game birds In addition to the iarea# set aside specifically for wildlife, other portion* of the farm can be made to coutrlbute to the welfare of the game species. Flolda of lespedeza, cane, cowpeas, peauuta and other crops add immeasurably to the natural food supply: " At very little expense, the farmer can need gullied apota and entail gullieh to lespedezas which will reseed themaelvea. I^spedeza aectlon la particularly adapted to thla uae. Corners of fields, Inconvenient to cultivate; Held border#, unproductive because of hhade, need for turning room, or danger of erosion; and other small Idle patches planted to intllet, cowpeas, hoybeans, lespedeza, bonne, Florida beggar wood, or other crops used by game and sutted to the region represent an excellent Investment in game Insurance and erosion coutrol. The expenditure for seed and fertilizer combined need not exceed $6.00 per acre and most cases can be held well below that mark. Gullies planted with fruit-producing shrubs which can withstand silting will be used by quails, particularly if the fruit ripens during the lpcuballon period or is available ddrlng the winter, All of these treatments are comparatively inexpensive. The shrubs, privet, coral berry, American beautyberry, blackberry, wild plum, wild cherry, haw, cedar, holly and others can be collected locally and transplanted. Although a majority of the farmers in South Caroiiua have not made any provision for game in their land use and erosion control plans, they would doubtlessly do so if they were aware of the profits which may accrue through the sale of shooting and trapping rights, under the regulations fixed by the Stale. Since farms must be managed for profit, the fact that fanners have a proprietary interest in the game on their land and that they are Justly entitled to a monetary return proportionate to their efforts in Its behalf should be recognized. (One southern state's quail crop valued at well over one million dollars; South Carolina at $400,000 or 25c per bird ?, Ben L. Cromer Held At Prison N< wherry.

M( Nicholas, archbishop of the Cincinnati archdiocese of the Roman Catholic church, issued a statement tonight condemning Father Charles E. Coughlln's assertion that President Roosevelt was "anti-God." i He also protested and condemned j Father Coughlln's statement in an address before a national union for social Justice rally last night "that he'advocates the use of bullets 'when any upstart dictator in the United States succeeds in making a one-party government and when the ballot is useless.' " Vatican City, Sept. 25.?A second Vatican "warning" to the Rev. Father Charles E. Coughltn, was held a fueure possibility tonight by prelates who tendered his public declaration that President Roosevelt was "antiGod." Vatican prelates, studying about the President of the United States, "could not be reconciled with the belief by authoritative Vatican circles that in every polemic, authorities should be respected." The prelates recalled that the authoritative Vatican newspaper Osservatore Romano recently rebuked the Royal Oak (Mich.) radio priest after a political speech in which Father Coughlln termed tho President "a liar." Despite Coughlln's apologies after the "liar" appellation, the Osservatore held it was not proper for a priest to attack constituted authority in any nation. Father Coughlln's "anti-God" definition of the President was made during a speech at Cincinnati Thursday night during which he declared that Mr. Roosevelt "says destroy and devastate" contrary to Biblical tenets. The orator also declared ho would urge "the use of bullets" if an "upstart dictator" voided the ballot. That big settlement of Dakota farmers Taken to Alaska is not functioning according to plana. Tho original plan was to give each settler forty acres, with cattle, horses and other equipment at a cost of $3,000. The $4^000 has been used up and each settler has but ten acres. It will cost about $12,000 per settler to go through with the original program. The fund* amenta! trouble is they hare no market for their products. However, they can probably keep thetteelvei going under their present arrange* fnftr v Divorce Grounds Often Ludicrous Judges seem to be stiffening up a bit iu the matter of grauting divorces, says the Milwaukee Journal. The other day one announced that in bis court one slap would no longer be coMidered sufficient evidence to warrah$ a decree. It might be the meaningless expression of an idle impulse, he said. Hut still there are plenty of complaints which will win the papers. In Chicago Mrs. Patrick Crane hid in the back seat of her hupband'a automobile and what she saw and heard from that vantage point won her a divorce and $25 a week. And Karal Hak, a batcher, got his papers right away when he reported that his wife had put soap In his coffee, needles in his bed and had thrown a salt shaker at him. It was in Chicago also that Esther Gottchalk won $50 a month because her husband made her oil and clean too many gadgets. it Hwems that Gottchalk, was a gadget fiend. He made 'em, and bought 'em, aud swapped for 'em, and persuaded all his friends to give 'em to him on all birthdays. His house was cluttered with them. None, Mrs. Gottchalk, told the Judge, wus worth a hoot. None would sweep the floor, dust the furniture, do the wafting, open a can or wash a dish. Hut Just the same if Gottchalk came home and found any untended he got pretty inad. That was all the judge needed to know. He gave Mrs. Gottchalk her $50 u month forthwith. Still in Chicago, Patrolman Thomas Simmons, weight 1115, was allowed to divorce his wife, Carrie, weight 165, because she had been violently and physically cruel to him every day of the eight years they had been married. Carrie gave Thomas 30 pounds, but he never had a chance. Not for so much as one day in eight times 365. Thomas could clout the daylights out of a crook, but Carrie had the Indian sign on him until the Judge wiped it off. A fellow, named Joe Hill got a divorce because his wife lied. This was in Eureka Springs, Ark. She had been married before and when she and Joe came to terms she told him she had three children. Joe said he didn't mind. Liked it, in fact, because it saved him a lot of trouble, But when she moved her family In Joe counted up to eight. So he went to the judge Lillian Ehrhardt, in Trenton, was also successful. Rut, of course, she had a much better story. Her husband threw a live cat at her, though lie knew she had a horror for cats, and then he squirted insecticide. Mrs. Tresa Egli, also of Trenton, told an even more powerful tale. Her husband, she said, kept rattlesnakes in the bathtub. She found them there every Saturday night, and maybe oftener. . The judges looked pretty* stern when they heard about that, but they began to smile again when Laura Canning came along. She said that her husband sent her an Easter egg covered with cuss words. That one was on a light level with the story of Mrs. Ben Skelly, out San Francisco way. Her husband, with whom sho had recently celebrated a golden wedding, suddenly got to pinching her at funerals. Of course, they didn't go to many funerals. But on the other hand, when you did go you didn't want to be worrying and watching your husband's fingers all the time. Death Sentence For Killing Officer Charleston, Sept. 25.?Benjamin Rivers, 45-year-old negro convicted of killing Detective Purse A. Wanaley, was sentenced today to be electrocuted January 14, five months to the day from thd elate of the crime. Judge Marvin M. Mann, before pussing sentence, denied a defense motion for a new trial and conceded the prosecution request that the time for Rivera to die be set sufficiently far off to permit his use as a witness against Isaac Brown, co-defendant who is to be tried at the next torm of court. The negroes are alleged to have killed Wanaley whe^n he attempted to arrest them. N Moccasin Strikes Boy , HartflYille. Sept. 20.?Charles Kupfer, high school boy, who lives a few miles from Hartsville on the McBee highway, was bitten yesterday morning by a copperhead moccasin. Charles immediately tied a tourniquet around his leg and killed the snake before the accident was known; to others. He was rushed to Dr. Byerly's Emergency hospital where he was given treatment. It is reported he is "resting well." Russia Is going to try to count all IU Inhabitants In one day. There are l .200,000 registrars being trained by ^B,000 Instructors for tha third census to be taken next January 1 f Columbia President Scores Modern Life New York.?Nicholas Murray Bui ler, president of Columbia university recently denounced modern life and | arraigned the church, home and school for failing in their fundamental duties as he opened the 183rd year of the university. "This world, which calls itself civilised. Is only jusf now emerging from the greatest of all wars, which shook and weakened its very foundations, and at the same time it is thinking of war. talking of war, spending for war and preparing for war in a fashion and on a scale which would ybe quite Incredible were it not so obvious," Butler said In his presidential address. "Crime multiplies year by year and almost day by day. It is more common and more brutal among those people who consider theselves highly civilized than among those whom we "complacently class as barbarous. t "Murder has been against the law at least since Moses came down from Mount Sinai, and murderers have been punished by beheading, by hanging, or by electrocution. Yet there were more murders in the United States last year than among any other people at any time In recorded hlBtory. "Instead of people leading upright, kindly and conscientiously ordered lives, we have on every side a mad passion for personal gain at whatever cost, an eager desire to get something for nothing and a willingness to commit the most appalling and lhhuioan crimes in order to satisfy some quickly passing emotion, or to gain some much desired personal end, "Is It not the plain fact that the war, which has so long been prosecuted by the church, the school and the family upon evil, upon immortality , upon crime and upon every form of selfish disorder, has thus far failed to win a victory that has any real meaning in the case of hosts of our fellow men? "The answer must, unhappily, be yes. Is it not also plain that the environment in its grosser aspects, working through all the modern organs of publicity, has largely displaced the church, the school and the | family as a controlling educational j influence? j The two most precious things in j this world are liberty and justice. Neither can exist apart from the other. Both must be taught and both i must be learned. This means instruction, guidance and discipline. Kespect for law depend^ upon man's ability and willingness to change the law to meet his changing needs. physical force, terrorism, depotism cannot accomplish'the high ends at which civilization aims. Intelligence, sound moral standards and the spirit of service can do so, always have done so and will continue to do so. It is for these that the endless war is to be untiringly waged," farm terraces end to end SIX time8 nation's length More than 16,000 miles of terraces ?enough for about 6 terraces from New York City to Los Angeles?have been built by farmers in Soil Conser-| vatlon Service demonstration areas in forty-one states. During the next 3 years the Service expects to help farmers build about 36,000 more miles of terraces. ?= ? . The value of terracing in keeping soil on moderate slopes from washing has been proved in many parts of the, country Terraces usually are built on land with no more than a 12 per cent, slope. In one case unterraced land lost soil at the rate of 64 tons an acre each year. On similar land terraced, the soil loss was a little more than two tons an acre. In another test, unterraced land lost from eight to ten time# more soil per acre. Another value of terraces, in regions where rainfall is scanty, is that they hold moisture as well as soil Numerous tests show that as much aa eight per cent, more water runs off unterraced fields. Crop yields also are increased on terraced fields, after about the sepond year, the Increases being much^reater after several years. The Soil Conservation Service finds that terraces should not be much over a quarter of a mile in length. Shorter terraces generally conserve moisture and retard washing better than long terraces. - . Play "Knocks Knock" _ Kinston. N. C., Sept. 28.?Kinston police have been given sticks and told to "knock, knock." The cops were instructed to knock on pavefnent to signal one another while on their beats and to knock on heads when necessary. At Winston-Salem, N.

The wave that followed was reported to be as high as the capitol building at Washington. It took a toll of more than 70 lives and nearly wiped out two villages near the head of the lake. "I.oen Lake, an extension of a series of waterways leading inlafad from Nord Ejord, la no stranger to disss-] 1 ter," says a bulletin from the Wash-.( ington headquarters of the National Geographic society. "Many Inhabitants of the region recall % similar tragedy in 1905, when |W?ons lost .Ifafelr lives. "In 1934 nearly 00 persons were drowned by giant waves set up in the same manner at Tafjord, a few miles northeast of Loen Lake. "Loen Lake is famed among travelers and anglers as one of the moat beautiful of many long, narrow, stone-1 ringed fingers of water along the ruggad, mountainous coastline of western Norway. A barrier of rock separates It from the main fjord and the sea, raising its level to a height of some 289 feet above sea level. . "The lake Itself la about ten miles I long. Except for a few knifelike ravines, it is entirely surrounded by huge precipices nearly 5,000 feet high with mountain peaks towering another 1,000 to 1,500 feet above the ciifftops. Between mapy of the peaks huge glaciers descend, but all of them are transformed into waterfalls before they reach the lake. When clouds hang low In the region these falls seem to drop out of the mist. ' Most impresslvd Of the lake's rock walls is the steep, serrhlfid face pf Ravenefjeld, source of the avaladciie# that caused both the 1905 and recent disasters. Near the southeast end of the lake, this Btern 6,575 foot clifffaces three of the principal hamlets of the region and a number of scattered gaards, or homesteads, whcse inhabitants sometimes do not see the sun at all during the winter months. "Scars of the 1905 avanlanche when a stupendous crag detached itself and plunged into the lake, can still be ? f* , seen. This slide was recalled by a memorial stone on a low rock by the lake. "The villages of Noesdal and Boedal which were reported virtually destroyed by the recent wave, hug the shore across the lake from the Ravenfjeld. They again felt the full force of the giant waves set up by the tons of rock hurled into the water. Many of the houses had been moved up the shore since the 1905 catastrophe, but still not far enough/' \ Mrs. Lee Fa fie Dead ' Mrs. Patsy Faile, wife of Lee A. Faile, died at her home on North Matson street Sunday, September 20, after an Illness of five weeks. She was taken to the Camden Hospital Sunday, August 23, for treatment. Af-i ter some days she was brought to herl home where she remained until the! end. I Dr. L. T. Gregory had full charge of the case, but consulted other physicians, and Mrs. Faile received their very careful attention. She was born January 10,1901, and became a member of the Baptist church early in life, and was always loyal to her church. | Funeral services were conducted at the home Monday by her pastor, the Rev. W. J. Bradley, of the Kershaw Fifst Baptist church, assisted by her former pastor, the Rev. George E. Smith of Greenville. A large number of friends and relatives were present to pay their tribute to this good woman.
