ABOUT The WHITEFISH
ort to Exterminate
Very Successful.

The war that has been waged III
Idaho against the trout-d sstroylnss
whitehsh will very likely come to
end, as it is almost impossible to
cut down the supply. Ii was
thought when the crusade. against
the fish first started that the de-
mand for a good pals table fish
would help decrease their number,
SO all the companies shipping Fl sh
to the retailer bent their efforts tt '-
ward catching whitefi sh. But tn
fish soon proved a drug on the.
market, and although they arc
cheaper than almost any fish OF
sale, the people seemed to have
tired of them.
It seems that the wh itehsh lives
on trout, and as they multiply very
rapidly some string est method
must be found for discriminating
them or the Idaho streams will
soon become devoid of game fish

the great progress of agriculture.

| A good deal is being heard about
limiting the term of the Presidency
to single term. The plank in the
Democratic platform is being kept
prominently in view in order that
the supporters OF Mr.. Wilson may
always be reminded of it. Among
the supporters of the single term
are Mr.. Bryan, Senator Cummins,
Speaker Clark, and others.

They had sold a customer l8 gallons
of it to paint his house, A few years

gallons to paint the same house. He
had 7 gallons left.
The point of the tale is; II gallon S

Why does II gallons Devoe go as
far as 18 gallons of other paint? Be

But that isn't all Devoe lasts long
