SUPPLIES FROM ARCTIC ZONE
Eskimo Slaughters and Allows to
Waste Many Valuable Animals,
Declares an Explorer.
It appears that the Eskimo is just
as consistent and conscientious in
killing animals as his civilized broth
er of warmer climes is in killing
men, observes the Detroit News.
He kills, therefore, in the course
of the year, many more animals
than he has any use for, but as he
has no idea of an export market, he
merely throws the carcasses out to
the wolves, or lets them sink in the
sea.
“The actual amount of meat, fish,
fat, oil and leather that could be
brought in by the Eskimos is enor
mous,” says Christian Leden, who
has been an Arctic explorer for many
years. “By utilizing only the seven
tribes I visited in my last exploring
expedition, we could have 300,000
pounds of caribou meat, 300,000
pounds of caribou fat, 9,000,000
pounds of walrus meat, 12,000,000
pounds of baluga or white whale
meat, 1,800,000 pounds of salmon,
13,800,000 pounds of oil from wal
rus, seal and bulaga, 3,000,000
pounds of walrus leather, 4,000,000
pounds of whale leather, 150,000
pounds of sealskins and 40,000
pounds of walrus and narwhal
ivory.”
This is obviously no mean addition
to the failing supplies of the tem
perate zone.

THE UNITED STATES FOOD
ADMINISTRATION SAYS:
There is no royal road to food
conservation. We can only ac
complish this by the voluntary
action of our whole people, each
element In proportion to Its means.
It is a matter of equality of bur

KING GEORGE AS AN ANGLER
Britain's Ruler Fights With a Salmon
and Then Dines on a Haggis
and Whisky Grog.
An article in a French paper de
scribing King George salmon fish
ing is too good to be lost. It runs (in
translation) :
“He is an angler of the first force,
this king of Britain. Behold him
there, as he sits motionless under his
umbrella patiently regarding his
many-colored floats! How obstinate
: ly he contends with the elements! It
| is a summer day of Britain; that is
| to say, a day of sleet, and fog, and
: tempest. But what would you? It
is as they love it, those who would
i follow the sport. Presently the king’s
; float begins to descend. How he
j strikes! The hook is implanted in
the very bowels of the salmon. The
I king rises. He spurns aside his foot
stool. He strides strongly and swift
ly toward tlie rear. In good time the
salmon comes to approach himself
to the bank. Aha! The king has
| cast aside his rod! He hurls him
self flat on the ground on his victim.
They splash and struggle in the icy
water. Name of a dog! But it is
a braw laddie! The gillie, a kind of
; outdoor domestic, administers the
, coup de grace with his pistol. The
j king cries with a very shrill voice,
! ‘Hip- Hip! Hurrah!’ On these red
j letter days his majesty George dines
: on a haggis and a whisky grog. Like
a true Scotsman, he wears only a
kilt.”
We need not add, says London
Tit-Bits, that the description is
meant to be most complimentary to
the king, in spite of the lively imagi
nation of the writer.
BRITAIN'S ARMY NEEDS.
The British armies in Ffance
alone each month require 95,000 tons
of oats; 4,000,000 gallons of gaso
line, 20,000 tons of flour, 10,000,000
pounds of jam, and 75,000 tons of
hay. Ponder on these figures, writes
Isaac F. Marcosson in the Saturday
Evening Post, and you begin to real
ize that demands are written on ten
league canvases with brushes of
comet’s hair!

ever see so fine an ivory carving of

N’eve’r. In my classes the ivory

EARLY TO RISE, QUICK TO FIGHT.
“Why do they make you soldiers
get up at 5 :15 in the morning?” in
quired the training-camp visitor.
“Because that makes us feel like
fighting,” grimly responded the for
mer young man about town.
