Show ;,, Jlie Observations Of Mr. Jones Hunters; Must Be Passing Up Big 'Game Therejias been an increase of 25 per ' cent in the past three years in the number of big game animals prowling the forests and open spaces in the United States, reports The Fish and Wildlife Service -of the Department of Interior. The biggest increase was in Michigan with 830.600 animals, nearly all of which were deer. Wisconsin came second sec-ond with 795.600; Pennsylvania with 679,600;- Texas, 631.900, Minnesota, 622,600; New York, 301,100; and Oregon, 299.200. It is interesting to note that Kansas Kan-sas is the only Slate that has no big game. Deer outrank all other big game animals. When the hunting season comes around again'you might dig up that old wisecrack: "Johnny get your gun." The Moon Belongs To You & Co. Secretary - of the Interior J. A. Krug says the Government lacks legal authority to . declare that the -Moon belongs to two Pennsylvanians who had requested re-quested the Department to ratify rati-fy their claims to ownership of the planet. The claimants, Robert Rob-ert D. Eaton and Charles W. Hon-hold, Hon-hold, of Sewicklcy, Pa., have been informed that United States sovereignty docs not extend to the Moon and consequently the nnhlir land laws pHniini;frrpr1 liv the Department do not apply to land1 on, the planet. The land claim 'filed by the Pennsylvanians Pennsylvan-ians read: "Be it known by this evidence of writing, that the persons of Robert Dean Eaton and Charles William Honhold, both being of sound mind and body, do this day of the first of March, in the year of our Lord, nineteen-hun-dred and forty-eight, submit to the office of the Department of Interior, for action or direction and forwarding to the proper authorities, a CLAIM to that body of matter kno.vn to the peoples of the Earth as the Moon, the following description of which. is quoted from an eccep-ted eccep-ted authority, being: 'the satellite satel-lite of the Earth, revolving about the Ea'rth from West to East in a little less than a calendar monthf and accompanying it in the annual revolution about the sun,' and further, that the aforementioned afore-mentioned parties be granted all the rights and privileges normally normal-ly exercised by a person' or persons per-sons in ownership and partnership partner-ship claiming possession of land? and properties through the process pro-cess of a legal office of the United Unit-ed States of America." So Secretary Sec-retary Krug expressed regrets The National Economy One of the ablest authorities upon labor relations (providing there are able authorities on those questions), suggests that the current strike crisis and the threat, of additional stoppages may upset the National economy on a wide front. But he has a reason, and this is it: "Labor relations are being formulated today by reason of the unusually high demand for j labor, and record highs in wage lists, and profits in manufacturing manufactur-ing industries." Well, there you are again back where we started with the 1947 argument that higher wages and higher prices were like the '.'Colonel's Lady and Judy'1 O'Grady," who were sisters under un-der the skin. Or to state it another an-other way, higher wages breed higher prices. |
