The fall of snow Tuesday, altho it did melt as rapidly as It fell, made many a sportsman take a few moments of his time to rest upon his elbow and dream of the rabbits and quail he hoped to bring in the week-end.

If a great need justifies a geerous public givig, the present Simpson needs of the valley tenant farmers certainly justifies the most liberal and hearty consideration that our people can possibly give. J. P.

Kerr Tells Case of Tenant in Flooded Area J. P. Kerr, of Versailles, an extensive land owner along the Illinois river is among the heavy sufferers from the recent floods. He has visited Bloomlngton on numerous occasions in his efforts to aid land owners in getting the state or the federal government to take some steps to avoid these devaluing. Mr.

Kerr in a recent article tells of the plight of the lond owner as follows: The city iteardstown, has been in the limelight as the greatest sufferer during the recent flood and much sympathy has been extended to her citizens and considerable money has been given to alleviate iheir needs. Mew Vork has seen her waters on the screen and the Press has said much about her distress and have commended the city for its fortitude. This is as it should be. But the real sufferers In the valley have received little consideration; namely the large company of men who have tilled the farms of the valley, known as tenant farmers. Their cry has not been heard, the press has not told their story.

Their case is a pitiful one in the extreme, their year's work has been done, they were ready for the harvest their notes were Just about due at the banks, when within a few days they became paupers. They fled in the night like fugitive from Justice, in boats, on rafts, In wagons wading the flooded waters, they took their livestock with them as best they could, they left household goods, wearing apparel, impletments, hay and grain and fled to the h'lls 158 i.ri'-'-l-'- res. Are we slipping as nlmrods? It would seem so. City Clerk Herman Bock reported yesterday that he had sold less than a thousand hunting licenses, less by 1000 than at this time a year ago, while but 100 had applied for trappers permits, againut 600 last year. The city oflicer looked for a rush after licenses yesterday with the opening of the rabbit, quail and pheasant season, but there were only ten applications.

The ninety or more that he expected, failed to show up, despite ideal conditions from a hunter's standpoint, cold and raw and with snow on the ground. Just the weather to put pep Into one's being and inspire long walks to the music of crunching stubble and icy sod. The extension of the rabbit season to the latter part ot January perhaps explains the lesser demand for permits. The antipathy of farmers toward quail hunting may also be responsible. There are now few farms which do not display warning signs.

"No hunting here," and the little brown birds are given universal protection. This prevents much of the sport that was prevalent In years gone by, and unless the city hunter has a farmer friend who rim trust him and who knows that his live n'nek Is safe should be sek game 316 X8 West Washington St Phone 628 Sow is the Time Few Licenses to Hunt Are Issued Though the hunting season opened yesterday very few called at the city hall to purchase hunting licenses. During other years a great number of licenses were Issueddurlng the two or three days preceding the opening and several days thereafter, but there were only four Issuel Tuesday and three yesterday. City Clerk H. J.

Bock said he believed hunters were delaying their start Into the woods this year because of the lengthening of the hunting season. Last year the season on most game to be found In' this part of the state closed on January 1, but this year It extends to the lust day of January. i to h-iv? vmn cm rrnaint- "Be thankful for your glass of milk it means health to you.

Attended Funeral of Running Elk Goodrich Mrs. John Zortman and two daughters Betty and Virginia returned last evening from Newark, New Jer. tty where they attended the funeral of Mrs. Zortman's brother, Mr. Frank Goodrich of Verona, N.

known as Jtunning Elk, his Indian name. Every one knew he was an old top man that he had a strain of Indian blood and was the uncle of Raymond Griffith, the movie star. Few however knew he was one of the most famous of the old wild wet showmen. Not every one knew his lialr was fully three feet long as he knpt It pinned up in a knot on his head and wore a cap mnxt all the tune which covered It. Elk carried with him to his grave a bullet lodged In his shoulder when as a Texas ranger he helped to round up a band of outlaws.

After a few years of ser-Mce with the Rangers, Elk went into the show business and soon established himself as one of the leading Wild West players. After playing with Barnum, Buffa. lo Bill, I'awnee 11111, the Forepaughs and other famous circus and wild et showmen, he and his wife established their own show, which they continued until telr augte wa bodrh continued until their daughter was born twenty-four years ago.

and Mrs. E. R. Morgan, of 202 East Locust street. In Havana there were (100 killed and 9,000 Injured, evincing the awful destruction caused by the storm.

Mr Morgan is a manufacturer's asrent at Havana and hold such rlhts In the entire Island. He has been looated at Havana for about eleven years. The letter Is under date of October 25, written as the author expresses it "At Home or what used to be one." Mr. Morgan says: "I am writing by the Htrht of a lantern that. shall inobttbly have to use for the next thirty days, as all wire and poles are down flat for miles.

After writing you Tuesday night that a phone message from the down town district had warned us that the storm would hit Havana about 12:30 midnight, I fixed up the house as best I could nd turned In, and was sleeping when Kdward came In our room saying that he was standing in an inch of water. Almost at this stage the curtain went up for the show. At 8 a. m. the wind did not seem so strong, although it was still blowing trees and poles down.

At this time my friend George Mattowx came in. He was all in and wet to the bone. He had walked from his house to ours, about three-fourths of a mile, in hope of reaching town to see about possible damage at his office. At 8:30 a. I got the car out and George and I started, hoping to get around fallen trees and poles.

It was hard work keeping the bus headed into the wind, as Just as we had reached the river (the water was over the hubs) the old bus quit cold so I released the brakes and let the wind blow me back almost a block, where a house was under construction. I managed to get the car behind the house and George and got on the floor Just as the big blow started about 9 a. traveling about 130 miles an hour without one moment letup until 12 noon. This is the blow that did not leave a tree or a pole standing and wrecked To Hold Social. A box social will be held at th? Brush school southeast nf Ellsworth November 13.

We were blown down any number of times but made home, about a mile away, by 1:30. We examined one man on our way home to make sure that he was dead before passing him up When we arrived at home, what a sight! All windows and doors gone, furniture and clothing scattered to the four winds, but no sign of life, so we made our way to the kitchen where Charlotte, Edward and the maid were waiting for the house to cave in.
