RACINE, Wis., March 16,(/P)—When
3s is said that elk are beocming ‘‘ac
climatized” in Minnesota and Wis
consin the fact Is evidently lost sight
of that the prairie sections of those
States were once inhabited by vast
herds of elk, or at least very few, in
the mountain regions farther west.
Elk are now found in the more inac
cessible regions of the Rocky moun
tains because they have been forced
to retire to the mountain fastnesses
for self-preservation.
Living witnesses can testify to the
abundance of elk on Minnesota prai
ries 75 years ago. Buried antlers and

soft bottoms of marshes and swamps.
But with the advent of the "prairie
schooner" the elk disappeared, the sur
viving remnants making their last
stand in the extreme northwestern
part of Minnesota in the early eigh
ties.
Each State now has a moderate
number of elk, but not roaming in the
wilds. These small herds are retained
in fenced pastures of about a section
of land each in* Atasca park in Minne
sota and at Trout Lake in Wisconsin,
each maintained by the State. The
stock in each case was imported from
the West a number of years ago and
each importation was accompanied by
considerable losses from injury in
shipment and sickness.
At the present time the two bands
are healthy and are increasing to some
extent, though the limited area of
the preserves requires feeding, espe
cially in winter. Some animals have
escaped and are at large, unless they
have been killed by poachers.
In Minnesota there is a proposal
that the surplus from the Itasca band
be transferred to the Superior State

PUT it down now for a double-riveted,
copper-cornered fact: Prince Albert will
give you more pleasure to the cubic inch
than any other tobacco you ever packed
in a pipe. Maybe I’m prejudiced. Even
so, my statement holds. I’ll leave it to
you, after your first P. A. pipe-load.
Buy a tidy red tin of P. A. and follow
these simple directions: Tuck about a
thimbleful into the bowl of your favorite
pipe. Light up, and pull that cool, con
soling smoke up the stem. Exhale slowly
and get the full benefit of that wonderful
Prince Albert taste.
Cool as a claim-adjuster. Sweet as an
unexpected inheritance. Fragrant as
pine-boughs, swaying in a summer
breeze. Mild, but not willy-nilly, if you
get me. And of course you do! Make
the test today and check-in with what
I’ve been telling you.
You’ll probably say I wasn’t enthusi
astic enough! Anyhow, get some Prince
Albert now and get on the sunny side of
pipe-pleasure. No matter what your pre
vious experience with a pipe has been; no
matter how set you appear to be, try
Prince Albert. It will be a revelation!
P. A. is sold everywhere in tidy red
tins, pound and half-pound tin humi- ,

with sponge-moisiener top. And always
with every bit of bite and parch re*
