There was no limit to the licenses Issued. Men who had never hunted rushed to the psrk to get an elk The valley and mountain alopes quickly became crowded with arme-t. .b, and the elk fell In extraordinary nuifibers, many of them Just after crossing the park line, others miles up the Yellowstone valley. Elk Slaughtered Ruthlessly. Ill tho excitement of the general slaughter, even the Montana law. which limits the kill, but permits the shooting of does and fawns, was forgotten. Men fired by volleys Into the wandering bands, to heedless of time aim. scarcely taking law or sportsmanship, carried out of retheir senses by greed of flesh. It called the dreadful days of the buffalo. The valley became a slaughter pen. The fact that thousands of these elk had no fear of men, having become ac- ustomed to tourists within the sanctuary of the national park, where they were petted and fed and often grased in large bands, like cattle, around the hotels and Inhabited dwellings of Mammmoth hot springs, made the spectacle one of special horror. Carcasses were shipped out dally by the carload and tralnload. It la probable that, by Christmas, between 6i)00 and 7u00 elk were thus slaughtered outright, and that between 100(1 and 3000 afterward died in the Montana mountains from wounds Inflicted by careless or inefficient marksmanship, or by shooting for general results Into hands In this way was the proud northern herd of 13,000 elk reduced to a probable 6000. starvation Following the slaughter, faced both herds, for the excessive srnfws coveied the graxlng lands too deeply for even the Industrious feet of the elk to Ten thousand of the southpenetrate. ern herd gathered In Jackson's Hole, where there wae only hay for 4000. The lemnante of the northern herd were scattered far afield. Government to Rescue. But starvation happily has been averted for the southern herd through the activity of Director E. M. Nelson of the United States biological survey, who has been able to divert other appropriations to meet the emergency. Seven hundred additional tons of hay have just been purchased, and enough more is In sight to save the situation there. The remnant of the northern herd has still to be provided for. Superintendent Horses M. Albright of th Yellowstone national park, spent his next spring's money for additional hay, but still more Is needed, and there Is no more money legally .available.- The National Parks association became active as soon as facts developed sufficiently to Indicate a useful part. It then lost no time In placing the facts and conditions before many sister associations, urging them to take such helpful action as each deemed appropriate. .

Practical suggestion to this end are called for. A capable committee of Ih association must be organised. Meanttma the feeding of the northern remnant remain Tha department of the Interior has enough hay on hand to last till the end of March, but only by under feeding, and this la no winter to under feed. After that It trill be six weeks or mors before the snows will melt enough to enable tha elk to find sufficient living, and that period may be lengthened by late winter. Albright Superintendent estimates that It will take 36900 to sea the danger through, and a bill before con grrsa la preparing for that amount. Ho we face again the question of con gresslonal delay. Congress may put this bill through promptly, or, with its snor moug legislative pccgcam--- , may not pus ft until too late to help materially. Who will predict? Meantime the neighbor hood hay docks ere lessening rapidly and the price la rising. Meantime, also, contributions are reaching tha National Parka association for the rescue of the elk; all money received for the purpose will be spent for the purchase of hay under the supervision of the superintendent of the Yellowstone national park. The association will keep Its members advised of developments In the situation. If It becomes necessary to rales money quickly, a call will b sent out for all members to make collections.

Now that th facta art measurably ascertained and the possibilities determined concerning the disaster which has befallen one of the nation's most ependld possessions, the Yellowstone elk herd, the situation should be authoritatively Uld before the members of the association. Newspaper accounts far understated the truth. The elk herd normally contains 30,009 elk. It lias come down In .uninterrupted descent from the great wild-lif- e days before the coming of the white man. It naturally dlvldea Into two practically equal parts which art spoken of as tha northern and the southern herds. When tho park, which la a lofty shallow volcanic bowl, collects heavy snows In winter. the northern herd drifts Into the mountains north and rest to wlnd-awrsloiies often across the park boundary, where grazing may be found by pawing up the lighter snow. The southern herd drifts east and south, gathering in large numbers In Jackson's Hole, the area which It la proposed to add to the Yellow atone national park. Hay Is usually stored here to feed 9000 elk. COSSARD AND JUSTRITE CORSETS All Children's Mon- 21, 1020.

When your shoes press against your corn it pushes its sharp roots down upon a sensitive nerve and you get a shock of pain. Instead of trimming your corns, which merely makes them grow, just step into any drug atore and ask for a quarter of an ounce of freeeone.
