Trapping Becomes an Industry. - One of Indiana’s little known indus{tries—trapping—has brought in an estimated revenue of $350,000 to Hoosiers last winter according to experienced fur buyers and Walter Shirts, _superintendent of the state Fish and Game department. : This winter's revenue is expected to be somewhat less because of a lowered market.
Most trapping in the state is done by school boys who set their- lines before going to school each day although there still are a few veteran trappers left. The skunk is the most valuable fur bearing animal in the state| and muskrats are considered second, Shirts said. Other animals in the state bought by trappers are possum, raccoon, mink, fox and wolf. Noble county has always been a favorite field for trappers.

Senators seelkding the opportunity to speak on the power motion are: Republicans—Shortridge, Couzens Norris Brookh?rt, Borah, Cutting Blaine and Johnson. Democrats—droussard, Ransdell, Walsh, Mont, Barkleyv, Dill and George Four of the group probably will defend the commissioners. ‘ NATHAN STRAUSS 82 DEAD Was Great Philanthropist of New York and Leader of American .
