The hunting of rabbits with
ferrets was permitted for the
first time in some sections of
New York State during the win
ter. One hunter in a town near
Rochester killed over 100 rabbits,
and gave up hunting them be-
cause he was tired of rabbit
meat. Other hunters reported
the killing of fifty or more.

The mineral and agricultural
resources of West Africa are
said to have been never availed

been The white mans grave"

not more unheaIthful than the

WOMEN OBJECT TO MORMON
De Not want likeness Of Young On Battle
ship Utah's Service.

Secretary of the Navy Meyer
has received verbal protests
against the governments &C
ceptance of a silver service con-
taining.ssthe likeness of Brigham
Young, of the Mormon Church,
as Utah's gift to its battleship
namesake. The protests were
from committees bearing a let
ter of introduction from Cardinal
Gibbons and representing the
Daughters of the American Rev
olution and other organizations.
Secretary Meyer said he had
no jurisdiction at the present.
He would wait, he added, until
the service is delivered in July.
Senator Smoot, Of Utah, has
had a conference with Secretary
Meyer regarding the matter. He
told the secretary that the only
representation of Mr.. Young con-
tanned in the design was that of
his figure as it appears on the
pioneer monument in Salt Lake
City. He said that this monu-
ment had been chosen by a COM
mittee composed of three Nor
mons and three nom ormons,
the chairman being Col. D. G..
lacking, who is not affiliated
with the Mormon Church. He
said Colonel lacking had been
largely instrumental in selecting
the design and that the inclusion
of the statue Of bingham Young
was only incidental and due en-
tirely to the fact that it was a
part of the monument.
A committee representing the
Daughters of the American Rev
olution, accompanied by a dele
cation of Washington ministers,
and Mrs. Fl. S. Owen, Of Salt
Lake City, has made verbal pro-
tests to Secretary Mayer against
the acceptance of the Utah ser
vice bearing Young's likeness.
Mr.. Meyer said the gift was not
yet within his jurisdiction, but
that when it had been received
he would decide the matter.

from $38 a case at wholesale to
So a case, and has made it neces-
sary to curtail production. Many

A Boston woman has sent so
cial workers into the homes of
her neighborhood to lay before
parents reasons why children
should be kept in school for some
years after they reach the age Of
IA. One thing used in the ar
gument is the higher wages the
boy or the girl will earn with
more extensive education. It is
said that 136 out of 100 children
are to kept in school after they
reach the age of IA, a condition
which is largely due to the solicit
tation of the visitors.

There are tribes of Indians in
the South who preserve their
racial integrity and retreat ffarth-
er back into the wilderness with
every approach Of the whites.
It is said that they simply do not
care for the white mans strenu-
GUS processes of self-advance-
ment. The white man retaliates
by calling them lazy, but the
truth is that the Indian is Of in
exhaustible patience in applying
himself to some religious cere-
mony or artistic expression
which seems to him worth while.

View of the Hospital Showing New Addition


Asaual Report Of Day kimball Hospital.
The 18th annual report of the Trustees
of the Day Kimball Hospital has been
printed and is now being distributed.
There are several illustrated views Of
the Hospital, one showing the exterior
of the recent addition. 1t is only by u
personal inspection of the present in-
terror that one may realize what mag
niiicent and perfectly appointed insti-
tuition our county now possesses.
The total cost of the land, buildings
and furnishings amount 10 Sao2 ,20s.
or this large sum not dollar remains
unpaid, with substantial balance in
the treasury, and, In addition, trust
funds amounting to 500, 422.6a.
The patients admitted have increased
each year from A In 1895, when the
Hospital was first opened, to a26 In
1909. Treated during the year, 4l0.
The highest number Of patients in
the Hospital In any one day WAS Al !,
and the lowest Z.
The past year 80 free patients have
received total Of ,99i free days care.
The report says: 1.-THE Trustees re-
covnize the willing and efficient servi-
ces Of the Professional STAFF, Superin-
tendent, Nurses, and gratefully nc.
know ledge the aid given US by the NO.
mans Board, with Its various auxilia-
ries, whose reports will be read with
interest. We think II clear that ~ our
enlarged facilities are awaited Of. these
valued friends Of the past will be more
and more looked to for study and aid
In the situation"
And the general public will give the
Trustees great praise for their efficient
and self-denying labors in making the
Day kimball Hospital such highly
successful institution that has proved
such blessing 10 the sick and suffer
ing Of many towns, while keeping its
financial condition above lis import
ant requirements.
The Hospital building is well man
aged under its experienced Superinten-
dent, Miss X. Psyche Webster. The
neatness and cleanliness In all parts
throughout and the cheerfulness and
polite demeanor Of her assistants gives
. healthful inspiring atmosphere that
strikes the feelings Of visitors a. well
~ its invalids.
The Hospital Is fortunate In having
soimany generous. hearted friends ~ IL
has, who have stood by II from the
beginning and have always contribut-
ed to meet ever need, supplemented by
the auxiliary services Of the Woman's
Board. So that now we have In the
Day kimball Hospital not only spIen-
did and slightly building of which all
may be proud, but an institution that
is rendering beneficent service to suf-
fering humanity.
The details of what IL has accom-
plished and is continuing 10 do, may
be learned from the annual report just

RAPID RISE OF
ARDM IRE BOY
FORMER A. n. s. STUDENT WILL
ENTER LAW OFFICE OF HIS
FATHER MEX YEAR.

Louis Ledbetter was IN the city
to spend Thanksgiving, with his
grandfather, Col. T. A. Ledbetter. He
will finish the law department course
at the state university next spring
and will then probably enter the
law offices of his father Judge W.
\. Ledbctter in Oklahoma City
Mr.. Ledbettcr takes an active III
,ercst in national and state politics
and in student OF political economy.
He attributes the successive defeats
OF Democracy In the United States
to the radical measures incorporated
in the party platform and to the
nomination of men who are too radi-
cal in their views to be trusted by
the people to hold the highest office
In the world which is president OF
the United States.
He is staunch adhercnt of Coy
ernor Harmon of Ohio for the Demo
cratic nomination for president and
says in his opinion Harmon offers
to the Democrats their only chance
of victory In 1912.
