KILL RABBITS BY WHOLESALE
Little Pests Within Few Weeks
Clubs Are Used.

Portland, Ore-Killing rabbits by
wholesale Is favorite winter sport
in the Lakeview country in southeast
ern Oregon. No fewer than 10000
rabbits have been killed off in this
way, it is estimated, within the past
few weeks.
Hundreds of men and boys engage
in the rabbit drive. They form line
extending across the prairie several
miles, while Dummies are driven in
one general direction until they find
themselves between two lines Of
hunters, and the only escape is into a
pen, where they are killed with clubs.
No firearms are used in the hunt.
Were it not for this method of ex-
terminating the rabbits, they would
destroy the crops of the farmer in
that district Coyotes kill large num-
bers of rabbits and between the two
enemies the pests are kept down to
a comparatively small number.
A recently announced project was
to establish a rabbit cannery near
Lakeview and put the meat of the
slaughtered hares up in tins for sale
chiefly in foreign countries, where
rabbits are highly priced for food.
There is now tremendous waste OF
the meat, only few of the killed rab-
bits finding their way into the Port
land markets and practically all the
remainder are not used at all.
Every winter when the farmers
have plenty of leisure time to kill the
rabbits, they are slaughtered In very
large numbers, and it appears that
the meat and skins could be put to
profitable use. The supply seems in
eXhaustible.

School Courses Too Short.


That the state normal school
courses should be extended from two
to four or five years, in order to sue
cessfully train teachers for work in
high schools. was the contention of
President John A. H. Keith, Oshkosh
Normal school, at a session of the an
nual meeting of the Wisconsin Super
intendents' and Principals associa-
ton.
"The chief reason that the students
of the normal schools are women Is
that the men find that the emOlument
received for teaching in the elemen-
tary schools is not sufficient to war
rant the taking of a two-years' course"
he said 'If we were to lengthen the
study for positions in the secondary
or high schools we would find that the
men would take the course.
"Unless we can get more men to
stay in the work and more to start it,
public education in Wisconsin is 60
ing to suffer. | do not mean that
there is any difference in the quality
of teachers. should they be men or
women. but when there is such
great preponderance of either men or
women the schools will suffer as a
consequence Men do not get enough
remuneration as teachers in the ele-
mentary schools. If we want men in
our normal schools we must be able
to fit them for better paying posi-
| ton than that of a country school
teacher. We must have the longer
training course"

That President Theodore n. Vail OF
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company, in his annual report,
just issued, urging strict government
control of the public service corpora
lions. was actuated by the success of
the Wisconsin public utility and rate
commission laws, is the declaration
of the members of the Wisconsin COM

According to these experts, President
Vail used the Wisconsin successful
statute as a model for his unusual dec
laration, and this is Of especial inn
portance to Indiana, for that state has
now pending propositions to almost
exactly copy the Wisconsin laws.
The success Of the operation of

N0N-T|PP|NC HOTEL
Makes Success, and Another win
Be Erected.
Public Likes Idea and New Hostelry
VIII Be Largest in World-Con-
tains 1000 Bedrooms and Has
Roof Garden.

London.-When Sir Joe Lyons, Eng
lands newest knight, opened a big
hotel on The Strand about IS months
ago and announced that there would be
no tips In the new hosiery, most old
Londoners laughed They predicted
that within year either the servants
would be accepting tips in the time
honored way or the hotel would be
closed.
Neither has happened. The hotel has
not closed and the no-tipping system
mas proven such a success that the d.
rectors are going to build the biggest
motel In England and probably in the
world. where the same system will be
pract1ced. 1t will contain 1000 bed
rooms, and its@total dimensions will be
over 10000 cubic feet. 1t will have a
large roof garden-an innovation in
English hOtels-flne smoking and bill
lizard rooms, libraries, and, in fact,
every modern convenience.
What the exterior of the building IS
to look like has not been quite de-
clded, but from hint dropped by Mr..
Salmon 1t may be assumed that it
will be distinctly impressive in ap-
pearance
Inc site intended for the hotel is the
Old world neighborhood which lies be-
hind Regent street and Piccadilly cir
Gus. 1t is within a few seconds walk
OF each, yet a quieter or more easily
gotta hIQ bor h. i
A number of very interesting old
buildings will have to be demolished
to make room for the hotel, and a
whole block of houses will have to
come down. In one of the streets
which are going, the undertaken who
made Nelson's Aboukir coffin had his
shop, and number of other venerable
old business places will disappear The
cost OF the site has probably been
high, as great many leases must have
been bought up.
The rates at the new hotel will be
six shillings a night ($1.50).

tipping system.
The system has been a complete
success said one of the directors.
How do the public fall in with the
regulations?' l asked. do they ever
attempt to evade them?"
They DO occasionally" he replied.
But it's only occasionally. AS rule
they fall in with the system at once"
And you find the servants just as
ready to oblige as when they had
depend on tips?'
Quite" was the answer.
The servants themselves seem to
consider the system a success from
their point of view, for Mr.. Salmon
said they preferred the regular wages
to the uncertain earnings of the wait
er who depends on tips
Many people here are of the opinion
that such places as their hotel are
quickly bringing about the death of the
boarding house keeper. 1t stands to
reason that if for price so low one
can get all the high-class hotel com
forts not many are going to remain in
the boarding house.
