Many of the sportsmen's groups have made arrangements to feed as many of the deer and other wild life as possible, but it is a larger task than they can handle alone. Despite all their efforts the deer of Pennsyl- vania will be reduced to almost the point of extermination unless some- thing happens very quickly. Not only are the deer suffering, bu! all forms of wild life are in the same tragic stage. The situation is so serious that sportsmen’s groups are planning to make feeding trips to the mountain- ous country in an effort to save as many birds and animals as possible. iinet nV iimmrimienn MINERS HOSPITAL ITEMS The following is a list of patients admitted and discharged from Min- ers’ Hospital from January 29 to Feb. 5.
