Rushing the OH Can.
Jake Hinderer, the kainit and gas
experimenter of last summer, Is busy
with his oil wagon. Jal;e Hinderer. as
connected in an Important capacity
with the Sanitary Department. In the
winter, he spends the larger part of
his time inspecting premises, but. as
Mr. Hinderer gets busy on his special
| job--that of oiling. He will be occu-
pied now, rushing the oil can until the
fall season returns.
The sanitary officer uses oil on
ponds, stagnant pools and all places
where water Is found, to kill mosqui-
toes and prevent their incubation. 1t
might be well to say that Mr.. Hinder
err spent some time last summer en-
deavoring to find a substitute for the
expensive nctroleum.
On at least two occasions. he was
ready to exclaim: Eureka" when he
he had in view. He first tried sort
of kainit refuse from fertilizer fac
tories and considerable enthusiasm
was aroused. then the experiments
from the gas Plant.
For several days, Mr.. Hinderer has
had his oil wagon out and he is inves-
gafinE every possible red spot where re

Montgomery with petroleum.
Doesn't Like Live Pigeon shoots.
The report-and l am hoping
against hope that it is erroneous-that
there is to be a live pigeon shoot by

on the subject of hunting, and guess
that is cruel enough for most men. but
some appearance of Justification, at
least; the birds have some chance
bra i ca and whirr away at the rate
of so and so many miles an hour; in
fact, in front of some of us. they have
quite as much chance as they require.
But 1 can't see much chance for a
pigeon, thrown out of trap or merely
shooed out of box.
doesn't know what to do, and he gem
orally staggers around, IL anything
can stagger in the air. till he is shot.
1t Is such useless cruelty; 1t has not
the excitement that comes of kicking
covey out of the grass: and 1T has not
the healthful sport of riding or walk
ing all day, in the fine, crisp. frosty air
of bright winters day ! certainly
hope that Montgomery sportsmen will
find some better amusement than
slaughtering pigeons"
