I say No—No-- let's feed them. Wh do I say this? Because of personal knowledge and experience. Now a few years ago the eik in Wyoming were starving. The Izaak Walton League of America, of which I am proud to be a member, sound- ed the alarm and you big, big-heart- ad Yankees rallied to the cause and ‘aved the eltuation. Now, if you can give thousands of dollars to save the elk for a few thousand people to see alive and a few hundred peopie to go and shoot, surely to goodness: "ou can. give a few hundred to save the varions waterfowl for millicne of people to see alive and thousands vf people to shaot Oh, I wonld- to Goa that all of ue had more of that dear old Abraham Lincoln spirit when he stood yp and is best ’ As a further ‘Nustration, I refer you to my own twenty -five acre mud~ hole exper- ‘ence where there is absolutely no natural food at all.

These Yankees are the biggest hearted people you ever mixed with and we Canadians have the best neighbors of any country in the world. Oh, I would to God that our Cinadian Sir George Fost- #r, whom ‘we are all so proud of, for his activities in the Peace Confer- ence, could) bring the members of the League of Nations to. North America and show them our four thoueand--. miles - of ~-internattonal boundary line that has stood test for ower a century without a firecracker of defence on either side. Surely our Atlantic to Pacific dem- fonstration should convince the world ‘tthat “Peace on earth goodwill to- n,’ can control and the blood-stained, devastated battle field that turns mothers hair white with) ® Sadness,.drooped her shoulders and broke her loving heart is absolute- ly unnecessary. Now, just a word to you Yankees that.often say to me, “It is no use us trying ta protect the goose and ducks while the Eskimos are robb-j}4 ing their nests and slaughtering their young and molting birds and feeding them to their dogs” I w aiimit that there might be Eskimos of this kind, for there’is wndoubted- 'y outlaw Eskimos the same as we have outiaws further south, but, fF am sure the great great majority are not that way. I am in.constant communication with the fur traders +f that country, especially the Hud- *on Bay agents and, while it is true I have more geese tags returned rom Hudson Bay than I have from iy two states in thé Union, yet it “ust be understood these Eskimos hoot to sustain life. Yet, I doubt ‘ery much if the average twenty Uskimes with their bows and arrows ill as many geese in a-season a6 the bag limit allows one In zur states and provinces. “The Rev. W. G.

While hunting and trapping In our far northern wilds fifteen or twenty-five miles from any human being, I have often gone in.an old deserted lumber camp or a trapper’s cabin and there extended from the highest peak of the ceil- ing is a wire that deer mice :cannot go up or down.
