It would be difficult to assemble a more adequate description of Hart ford, tits activities, it's leading citizens, and its manifold advantages than is presented in Hartford, in 1912,'' a handsome volume from the pen of J. F.. Dennis, editor and publisher of the Hartford Post.
 The volume contains nine special ar ticIes covering the entire range of the city's interests. It is illustrated with many views of buildings, and manufac- turing plants and contains a large number of biogra phies and portraits.
 One would say that the book is like 5Iy to be found soon in the library of every patriotic citizen of Hartford It certainly should be added to the list of every public library in New Eng land as a stimulus to similar effort in other places, and as showing what a twentieth century American city and it's citizens are really like in 1912

BE GOOD HUNTING
Wolves, Coyotes and Even
Wildcats Plentiful.
Hunting in Autos Is Newest
Sport in Chasing Coyotes.

ottawa, Kan, Dec. 23.-F'rom every
indication this is going to be a fine
winter for hunting wolves and coyotes
in Franklin county. as we'll as in other
counties in Kansas. Reports are num-
erous of a plentiful supply of wolves
in the county-many of them having
escaped from the lines of the big
neighborhood hunts last year. Some
farmers have said that coyotes are
more plentiful this year than rabbits
and jackrabbits. 1t is so in other
counties also.
Word from Junction City is to the
effect that wolves and coyotes are
more numerous and are doing far
greater damage in Geary county this
season than for a number of years
back, and according to the reports of
hunters, they are becoming very bold
Several farmers have reported that the

the daytime and boldly invade chicken
pens. The wolves, while not so bold,
do a great deal of damage by night
Many Wild Cats.
The catam cunts, wild cats and bob
cats are also on the increase, and
the biggest one seen here in a quar-
ter of a century was killed Saturday
by Joe Baker and his dogs at Kansas
shot during the past month.
Hunting in automobiles is the lat
est sport here, with the men who are
trying to boom the death rate among
the copote tribe. The automobile is
especially advantageous for the town
men, but is used by the farmers, too.
When a farmer sees a coyote near
his home he telephones to the city
and several men and their dogs get
