Jack rabbits and Patriotism

Farmers from all over the Wes-
tern Country report great damage
to crops by Jack Rabbits.
II looks like the finest opportun-
ity in the world for people to have
plenty Of sport Men p.ne for the
time to cometo shoot quail during
the open hunting season and parties
are made up to get out and kill the
birds. II Is not admitted that this
is done to get the birds to eat, but
the fun of hunting Is the supposed in
centlve.
Now what could be more exciting
than to start Jack Rabbit on the
run and shoot at him. That sort OF
sport would be doing some good.
There has been suggestion that
the authorities might offer boun-
ty. That is like a man finding an ar
ticle of value and keeping the fact
a secret until n reward is offered.
People who are troubled with rab-
bits ought to encourage rabbit kill
ing from the double standpoint of
fun and profit.
Brown county offered bounty of
five cents for rabbit scalps and with
In a short time there had been $4,000
of the pests killed. The boys got
very busy as soon as they saw a
nickel init, but there is no record of
their doing anything from a patriot
ic motive.
The boys drew on the treasury so
heavily that the Commissioners had
to withdraw their offer and now the
rabbits will have picnic.
1t oughtNto be established as 81
American principle that the govern
meint will not do, for the citizen tho
common place services that they can
easily do for himself

Direct MnlI Line Needed

j. G.. Careker was here Saturday
from Dunn and was wondering why
a mail rout cannot be established
from Snyder, to Dunn, thence to Ira
and Sharon and back to Snyder.
BY that means the people of the
South part OF the county would get
the Snyder Signal never later than
Saturday. as our mail facilities are
now, the Signal leaves Snyder Friday
evening, goes 20 Roscoe and Colora-
do and then comes back on mail
hack to Dunn and Ira, twelve and
fourteen miles from the starting
point. s-.4,.4s-..ssa1 III ~ 'AHs's'i''i
This inconvenience effects not only
the Signal but all other mail matter.
Mr.. Carreker says he can send a let
ter to TT. Worth or Dallas and get
response quicker than from Snyder.
The mail service from Ft Worth to
Sweetwater Is convenient--coming in
Just right to connect with the Santa
Fe so that mail leaving TT. Worth
might reach Snyder at S:45 in the
morning and with a mail line out OF
Snyder the Ft. Worth papers and
other mail could be delivered to
Dunn and Ira by or O'Clock.
This is matter of 80 much inn
portance to Snyder and Scurry coun-
ty that our people would do well to
take it up with the department and
try TO get more satisfactory mail
system.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York. April 23-The enthusiasm
caused in the stock market yesterday,
by the more favorable turn in railroad

Serious consideration of the situation ev

element of the speculative community
that willingness to arbitrate does not
necessarily imply a speedy or absolute
adjustment of difficulties.
Aside from another advance in certain
manufactured products by one of the
subsidiaries of the United States Steel
Corporation there We're few Developments
of Importance or even passing interest.
United States Steel was under steady
pressure during today's session and the
approach of the quarterly dividend meet
ing has aroused fresh interest in the
statement then to be issued. Estimates
of earnings for the quarter range from
under $20000,0O0 to almost $25, 100000, al
though the latter figures are generally
regarded as extravaganza Anything un-

Mexican Petroleum, whose shares have
only recently been listed, ranked with
the leaders in point of activity. but its
source of strength was not clearly de-
fined. There were advances in many is
sues of relative unimportance, and In this
respect the days business was unusual.
American Can common attained new
