Robert Scholes, of Perio, state president of the Izaak Walton league and speaker of the house of representatives in the 54th general assembly.. _ _ _ foods, speaker Scholes explained why thousands of hunters, men. of ordiâ€" nary means will enjoy ‘duck shooting for the first time in several years. Corn Under Water Thousands of acres of cornfields along the Mississippi, Illinois, Sangaâ€" mon and other rivers are now coverâ€" ed with water varying in depth from one to ten feet or more. It is doubtâ€" ful if much of this corn will mature sufficiently to make even duck feed. _ While expressing the deepest symâ€" pathy for the many farmers whose crops have been destroyed by recent But in every conrfield, there is an abundance of smartweed and other natural food. _ _ â€" â€" The ducks will scatter out over these flooded fields and almost any good hunter will be able to get enough ducks to make it worth while. This year‘s shooting at the baited holes in the duck clubs and commercialized shooting holes is problematical. If the water goes down rapidly and stays down, it may be good. Many Private Clubs The situation this year is quite similar to conditions that would exist if the state owned large acreages of land for public shooting grounds. With the steady growth in the numâ€" ber of duck clubs and commercialized shooting places, the ordinary man has no place to shoot ducks. Four hunâ€" dred of these clubs were licensed last year. The acreage owned varies with each club, but several own over 2,000 acres and one has about 5,000 acres. Sportsmen must put forth a conâ€" céerted effort at the next session of the general assembly to get further anâ€" propiations to complete the program started in 1925, to buy and save for the people the land that is left. Unâ€" less this is done in the immediate fuâ€" ture, there will be no hunting ground except for club members. THOMAS NFLSON IJR. The statue of Thomas Nelson, Jr., is one of the six which comnose the Washington Monument at Richmond, Virginia. Nelson was one of the disâ€" tinguished groun of seven Colonial patriots who signed the Declaration of Indenendence, the 150th anniversary of which is being celebrated by the Sesquiâ€"Centennial International Exâ€" position in Philadelnhia. â€"______ ONE oOF FOUNDERS Signed Declaration of Indepenâ€" dence; Made Many Patriotic Sacrifices Nelson was another of the early Americans to assume political responâ€" sibility while very young and rose to eminence in statecraft and in military circles. _ He was educated at Cambridge, Eneland. and unon returning home when not twentyâ€"one years of age, was clected to the House of Burgesses. He was a member of the popular conâ€" vention at Williamsbere in 1774 and 1775. and was consnicuous in the Virâ€" ginia convention which framed a state constitution in 1776. He was then a member of the Continental Congress in which he signed the Declaration of Indenendence. $ â€" The marauding expedition of Mattâ€" hews in 1779 caused him to organize the militia to withstand it. A call for $2,000,¢00 loan havinge been made by the state. Nelson raised the greater portion of it on his nersonal property. His patriotic sacrifices so imnaired his amvle fortune that he suffered pecuniary embarrassment in the later years of his life. _ When General Nelson commanded the militia at the siege of Yorktown he directed the artillery to bombard his own fine stone. mansion which stood within the British lines. The building was the supposed headquarâ€" ters of Cornwallis. â€" After the surrender Nelson passed the rest of his days in retirement sufâ€" fering@g from the imnairment of his health. He died at Yorktown in Janâ€" uary, 1789, so poor that his remaining possessions were sold to pay his debts, The army announces that it has saved $10,000 by chopping off the tails of 6,000 white butchers‘ coats left over from the war, using the tails to make patch pockets and caps for the chefs, and turning the coats over to the army cooks and bakers.

The committee also encourages individual students to go abroad at their own expense for a year of study, and American institutions are urged to make provision for giving a year of foreign study and travel to specially promising students unable to finance themselves. A student to be eligible for the committee‘s scholarship must be not less than 18 years of age, must have been in residence at an Ameriâ€" can institution approved by the counâ€" cil, and must expect to return to America for the fourth year to take the degree.
