MANY ORDERS FOR PHEASANT
Farmers on Idaho Think Birds WIN
Prove Valuable az Pest
ExtcrmInators.

Roland G. Voddard is in Boise,
Ida, after an extensive trip through
the southern part Of the state, where
he has been placing orders for hum
dreds Of pheasants among the farm
ers, who have been persuaded that
the birds will prove valuable az
grasshopper exterminators.
81 have placed these birds in Wy
oming and Utah." said Mr.. Vod-
dard, "and everywhere | have been
most successful. The birds appar-
emily have an unlimited capacity for
grasshoppers and consume quantities
of them every day. The old-fash-
toned idea of using paris green and
other poisons to rid any country Of
the pests is rapidly giving way.
ON some parts Of Utah last sum-
mes many ranchers used a sort of tin
net, which they dragged across the
field and resulted in the killing Of
millions of the insects. On one field
of 100 acres 30 sacks filled with
grasshoppers we're taken by means OF
these nets. But the pheasants are
far more effective.
"There will be hundreds of pleas
ants in the southwestern part Of the
state this year as a result of the &C
tivity of the farmers.
/ off turkeys are allowed to run in
the fields the benefits are great, for
the big birds can live for a long time
on a diet of grasshoppers. The
amount of the pests which the pleas
ant will consume will be nearly twice
as much.
"The idea of placing pheasants
on farming tracts for the purpose
Of doing away with the grasshop-
pers was started years ago in Kan
sas, when farmers of that state ran
out of paris green and had to find
some new scheme of Kidding their

you buy first? This is a problem
that many young women have had

solved in the future by many more.

Young Minister Showed His Admlra-

Using His Dlscourses.

Though Bishop Whitaker" said
a Philadelphia clergyman, cleft
strict orders that his sermons were
not to be printed in book form, the
fact remains that, in newspapers and
magazines and weeklies many of this
eloquent mans fine productions will
go down to posterity.
"Govers of good English have long
saved Bishop Whitaker's sermons. In

The clergyman smiled.
"1n fact, the mother of young

meet my son, he will be so glad He
so often breaches your sermons to his
people"

Middletown, June 9.-The 1ea2 Oaia
Podria, the year book at Wesleyan,
made its appearance this afternoon.
The volume, which is the SD, main
tains the high standard set by previ
Gus Wesleyan annuaas The book il
dedicated to Prof George Matthew
butcher. Phi. D., of the history depart
ment. The feature Of the publication
is a record of all the athletic contests
in which Wesleyan has figured, cover
ing 13 pages. The history of football
at Wesleyan is traced from the time
when Rugby football was introduced
at the college in 1881 down to tho
present day. 1t is shown that previous
to 1889 no team outside the fntereolle-
giate league has defeated Wesleyan.
Among the football victories of Wes-
Ieyan in the earlier days were those
over Williams 21-0 in 1888, Harvard
1910 in 1884, Pennsylvania 35-1s in
1885, Trinity 800 in 1885 and Amherst
47-o in 1886. Starting with the first
game of baseball for both Wesleyan
and Yale in 1865. when Yale won 39-1z,
the scores of all games played by Wes-
leyan teams are recorded. From the
beginning of Wesleyan basketball in
1901 the scores of games down to the
present show that Wesleyan has been
represented by a taam far above the
average in that sport.

NEW CONGRESSMAN
ON THE WARPATH
Charges That Government Let's Mil
lions Go to Waste.

Washington, June 9.-Representa-
tive Warburton of Washington, new
ly elected republican insurgent in the
house of representatives., charged con-
gress today with letting millions of
dollars go to waste that it might COL
lect internal revenue taxes on tobacco.
He attacked the pending wool tariff
revision offered by the democrats on
the ground that their Plea of needing
revenue for the government treasury
was not a serious argument for keep
ing high duties on woolen goods.
If the government would put a rea-
sonabie tax on tobacco, which may be
considered a luxury,' said Mr. War
burton, ''it could let in wooden goods,
cotton goods and sugar without any
tariff whatever If this country taxed
tobacco as England or France does,
we could close the doors of all the
customs houses except as to the i'm
portations OF liquors and tobaccos.''
Mr.. Warburton said the democrats
were afraid to reduce the duties on
wool any further for fear of the con-
sequences at the next election if the
woolen industry was ,prostrated by the
removal of protection. He said the
democrats We're compelled to adept the
republican doctrine Of protection and
excused themselves on the ground of
needing revenue.
