Calumet, Mich., Nov. 30.- Thus far
six hunters have beenraccidentally kill-
ed, and a score or more injured during
the deer season which will close at
midnight tonight.
. The hunters who lost their lives
were: Edward Lester, Three Rivers,
Mich., mistaken for deer near Sidnaw
and shot by James Nelson of Three
Rivers, the day before the season
opened. George Miller, Escanaba,
Mich., fatally shot by stepping on a
"set" gun. Ernest C. Smith, Sault Ste.
Marie, Mich., accidentally shot by own
rifle. John Fitzgerald, Trout Creek,
Mich., succumbed to tetanus caused by
gunshot wound. Boy named Christie

Administrator Hoover, for the opera-
tions covering the month of October
have been coming to State Administra-
tor Prescott for several days. Two
hundred such reports on meat-have
been tabulated. They show that in
100 hotels and restaurants diverse as
to class and location 42,591 pounds
iof meat were saved during October.
On this basis the saving for the whole
2,000 would be 425,910 pounds. On
wheat, the figures showed a saving of
316,960 pounds. While these figures
are merely estimates, in the opinion of
the state food authorities, they are
more than fairly accurate. The hotels
and restaurants tabulated were of such
a diversified character as to indicate
that all would follow about the same
ratio in the end.
