Down all the troublous days of his fresh youth sank There whére you see him lying now, With the word “FAILURE” written on hie brow. But he died rich. He VISIONED a better world, From which was banished want and fear and hate; Where justice, truth and beauty dauntless dwelt. Nor prison bars, nor persecution Sufficed to force him into silence. Nor did he wait till his theme had become The popular shibboleth of fawning eourtier’s lips. He smote and plead when justice herself was dumb, And all the light of truth was in eclipse.

A correlative California Lion . Kill Totals 177 ee SAIN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22—The lion kill in California for:the year 1944 totaled 177, 27 more than in 1943, according to reports compiled by J. S. Hunter chief of the bureau of game conservation of the State Division of Fish and Game. The kill in the varfous counties gives a good idea as to the part of the state in which the lion population is heaviest, Hunter’s figures reveal. Since 1907 when the lion bounty payment became effective; sixty two per cent of the lions killed or 5856 were from ten counties. These counties. represent 23 per cent of the area of the state, and thirty six per cent of the deer country. In the four counties of Humboldt, Trinity, Mendocino and Lake, the kill was thirty one per cent of the total. These counties represent seven per cent of the area of the state, and thirteen per cent of the deer country. Lions are apparently abundant in the northwestern part of the state than~-elsewhere. They are particularly scarce in the extreme eastern eection. Only five lions have reported killed in Modoc County in the past 39 years, three from Alpine and Inyo County has accounted for 22. ; The Army Service Forces shipped 2,600,000 passengers, largely troops overseas in the last year, it ‘was learned at Ninth Service Command headquarters. broken “Science and Health. } “WITH OUR BOYS A.
