(By International News Service. 1 Memphis, Tenn.—Trapped a s were people, but with no rescue fleets to save them, wild animals in the great forests of the Miss issippi valley perished by the thou sand when the roaring currents of the Father of Waters and its tributaries tore through levees and rushed upon them in terrific sud deness and depths. The ruthless slaughter : on ani-1 mals by the disastrous floods was one of the greatest losses of the flood, according to accounts of re fugees and rescue workers. Years will be required to replace ! the wild animals which perished ! in the wholesale destruction. Hundreds of thousands of small minnows are being ruthlessly or thoughtlessly destroyed by fisher-' men in the vicinity of Memphis in their hunger for larger fry, ac cording to an appeal issued here by Dan Wolf, president of the local chapter of the Izaak Walton league. A gloomy picture of conditions with some interesting side-pgnis on the hardships pf animal life is painted by refugees from Louis ana, Arkansas and Mississippi. One trapper, from Louisanu, told the following story: “Last week I saw a big black bear floating down stream, perch ed on a tree. I found a three foot alligator on a floating bed near a deserted house. On a knoll I saw 35 deer. Several more were on a railroad track not far away." “In a dry spot nearby there are more than 100 quail. (I fed them; with chicken feed for several days. Almost a half a hundred deer are being cared for in boxcars by game wardens. The refugees in some places are shuring their ra tions with the helpless deer.° “But bodies of deer hnd all kinds of wild animals are seen everyday by the dozens floating ' on the water, having been drowned by the floods or starved to death where marooned.’’ Wolf’s appeal to fisherman to | stop destruction of minnows to } preserve the future fishing pos . sibilities was broadcast over the Commercial Appeal - Evening Anneal broadcasting stnticAr, WMC. Seiners, who are finding thfe ! catching of fish and minnows j easy in sub-drains to lakes, are j not limiting themselves to what they need and are carelessly leav ing thousands of minnows on the banks to die in the sun, Wolf said. They keep the big fish and throw the minnows on the banks instead of back into the water. J'ish will perish by the thou sands without being deliberately slaughtered, said Wolf, as mahy have been unfortunate enough to be ih small water holes left by the flood that will soon dry up, leav INTERNATIONAL PAPER COMPANY New York.

F. Krauus, who has been at the head of the Troy high schools for the past three years, has resigned his position here and accepted the principalship of the Gibson high school. Mr. Krauss and his wife have made many friends since coming to Troy, who will regret to learn of their de parture. The Troy schools made great strides under the leadership of Mr. Krauss. The place made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Krauss has been filled by Prof. R. C. Cox, who has been at Mt. Pleasant, Guilford county, for the past two years. Mr. Cox needs no introduction to the people of Montgomery county, he having successfully taught the Mt. Gilead high school for five successive years. While we regret to lose Mr. and Mrs. Krauss we know that their departure will make the town of Gibson richer and we wish thbm all the success possible in their, new home, and we extend to Mr. Cox and his family a hearty wel come to Troy. Corriet To Shower Fireworks In Month Pens-Winnicke Conuet With Tail Five Million Miles Long Will Shower Jurte 26-27. (By International News Service.) Cleveland, 0.—Mother Nature will stage a display of fireworks, all her own, the evenings of June 26 and 27, when the pons-Winnicke comet passes within 4,000j)00 miles of the earth, the closest it has been in the last six years. This is the prediction of Pfof. J. J. Nassau, of Case School of Ap plied Science, who Has been watching the comet from Case Ob servatory. Though not visible to the naked eye, it will become easily discernible with the aid of field glasses or a telescope within the next few weeks, Prof Nassau says, It will appear just southwest of the “Little Dipper.” The comet has a ‘tail’ five mil lion miles in length, but in 1921, the last time it passed within ob serving distance of the earth, the tail was hidden from view. This year, however, the tail will be vis ible and on the nights of June 26 and 27, when the comet is closest, brilliant meteroric showers may be seen in sections where the sky is clear, Prof. Nassad stfctes. June 14th Is Flag Day l - Governor McLean issued his pro elomation officially designating June 14 as Flag Day and June 8-14 as Flag Week in North Carolina. He requests that on Sunday, June 12, ministers throughout the state, where it can be consistently done, make some reference to the flag and urge increased respect for it. "Human motions have, for all time, found expression in visible and tangible symbols,” says the Governor, who declares in his pro clamation that the flag of the United States excels all others' in that it contains no purely material things but stars, representing God’s own creation and bars of red and white, representing the blood that has been shed for the perpetuation and ‘that purity of personal and national life which is essential if we are to maintain our respect and the respect of sister nations.” Governor McLean asks that the ! national colors be prominently displayed during the day and week officially designated in his pro clamation. SUE TO COLLECT TAXES FROM LIQUOR MAKERS Charlotte.—The United States government today took steps, through the district attorney of the western district court, to collect “taxes” from persons convicted of violating the prohibition law. Suit was started in civil court against H. A. Lowman, of Con nelly Springs, who was convicted at the last term of court at Shelby, The government seeks to Collect nearly $3,000 in taxes from him as a manufacturer of liquor, as pro vided by federal law of 1921. Other suits will be started soon, the total of which is $4,000. Suits are brought only against solvent persons. Before prohibition becatne ip force, the “revenuers” hunted down those who violated the law, because they escaped the tax.
