MEN OF CLOTH
CRAFT VICTIMS
POcatellO Ministers Worked by
Smooth ScOundreI Who
Had Money to Burn

The Pocatello Tribune gives the fol-
lowing account of the operations of a
CRATER who recently operated in that
city.
slick CRATER who gives the name
of Oscar Hummer, has been working
the local ministers for few days past
and this morning worked himself into
Jail. His game is an old one. He called
on Rev. Mr.. Van Engelen of the Bap-
fist church and told him that he was
a member of the Baptist church in Og-
den and intended locating here. 1t
seemed to embarrass him much, but he
finally told Mr.. Van Engelen that he
was out of money and asked for the
loan of a trifiing sum for few DAYS.
He got it. Then he visited Rev. Mr..
Smith of the Episcopal church and told
him the same story, only this time he
was an Episcopalian. Then it came
Rev. Mr.. Gillian's turn, and there
Hummer was a Methodist. and so on.
Finally the ministers got to comparing
notes, with the result that Hummer
was turned over to Policeman Mel and
locked up. When searched at the iail
a bank book showing that he had
over a hundred dollars on
deposit in Salt Lake Savings bank
was found on his person. He is a shah
by genteel looking young fellow, about
twenty-five years of age.

ana within twenty-one days nine of the

qualis died. but six lived and are now
full grown. The result was so satisfac-
tory that Gordon abandoned the
chicken business and now has a bip
covey of quails of all sizes. The young
est birds are kept in a small. wire COW

ana careful regard for temperature.
they are Matched in the. incubator at
temperature of 104 degrees. and while
in the care of the mother get along well
enough in the daytime without artificial
heat. AT night, however, it is necessary
to keep lamp burning in the brood
house to insure a temperature of at
least 80 degrees. Like all incubator
products the birds are surprisingly
tame. and even the full grown quails
can be picked up and fed out of the
hand.
The quail breeder has one peculia..
obstacle to contend with in the matter
of reproduction. A pair of quails once
mated are united for life Neither the
male nor the female will desert it's
mate for another, and the loss of one
out of pair is equivalent to the los~
of both. Even after the death of one
the other is not fit for reproductive
purposes. If the hen quail is pared
with any other bird than her original
mate her eggs are barren and are
never fertile. Gordon can not market
the birds in Missouri at present with
out violating the recently enacted
game law, which will for several years
prohibit the killing, selling or buying of
quails owing to the scarcity of the
supply.
The average quail hen lays about six |
teen eggs a year. The setting season |
lasts three months usually from April !
to the last week in June.

QUAIL RAISING PROFITABLE
AS A BUSINESS PROPOSITION
Missouri Youth Engages in the Venture bv
Chance Stroke and Will Be
Rewarded by Success

Guy Gordon of Columbia, Mo-. is a
fancier of the busy hen, but fortune
mas not smiled on his efforts. By
chance he turns his attention to quail
brooding. 1t is a new industry of in
teresting possibilities
he is working on the theory that
quail can be as easily raised as pouI-
try. The question of profit is vet to
be determined.
The quail farmer son of II. S. Cor
don, proprietor of the Gordon hotel at
Columbia, Mo- is at present conducting
the work on a limited scale. He has
several acres of land. The farm is
fenced with closely woven wire, which
prevents the escape of the birds, whose
wings ae clipped when young. 1t Is
the intention of the owner, however,
to remove to Arkansas, where he will
secure a tract of land large enough to
operate the farm on an extensive scale
He hopes to have the birds on the mar
ket soon at good prices. His present
design is to raise only brood quaisl
which now sell at 81 pair.
1t is purely by accident that Mr. Cor
don went into the quail business. While
he was cleaning a chicken incubator
one day. Speed Mitchell of Boone
county leaned over the fence and
smiled with the cold idsdain of an old
time farmer for new tangled" con-
trivances.

The Bible In The Schools.

Objection has developed in
Meridian to the opening of the
public schools with Bible readings
and prayer, and the Evening Star
makes strong and timely plea
for the continuance of the honored
and honorable custom, saying
among other things:
We have already drifted too
far from the old landmarks. The
abolition of the Bible reading in
the public schools will place us
fearfully near the danger line
the precipice over which all ma
tions that forget God must plunge
to destruction.
''Shall Meridian, where there is
as much culture and Christian en-
lightenment as there is in any
OF b er city for its size in the world
take the backward step that is
proposed for the school board
meeting tomorrow! Shall we say
to the poor children who have not
the advantage of the proper home
training and the influences of
churches, you shall not have it
in the schools, and thus set them
adrift on the road to ruin? Such
step would be to turn back the
finger on the dial plate of our
wonderful progress, and let the
world know that this is not the
place for prospective investors
and hoEleseekers to raise their
children. 1t is thing that our
people will not endorse"
The Star is right, and the heart /
Of its editor is in the right place.
The best school there ever was in
the State of Mississippi was
opened every morning for thirty
odd years, and until the death of
the principal, by having one of the
pupils read a chapter in the Bible,
after which there was discussion
or an explanation by the teacher.
1t certainly Injuries no school, no
matter how large and is calculated
to do it world of good. Better
abolish the spelling book than the
Bible. -Clarion-Ledger.
