sanitary methods and is free from any
impurities. The chocolate candy is
fork dipped, no hands touching 1t at
any time.
Samples of Jell-O are in demand at

many uses for Jell-O and hand out
desserts made from the product every

CAN GET COYOTE BOUNTY
AND KEEP THE SCALP

4
When Deputy County Clerk c. E
Brice-Nash refused Wednesday t
allow bounty on coyote scalp ant
permit the trapper to keep. the
scalp intact with the hide, the
thought he was right on the ques.
tion. A law passed in 1909 provides
that the scalp must be turned over
to the county clerk.
However, just to make sure, Brice-
Nash went over the 1918 laws yes
terday and found that the old act
had been replaced by one permitting
the county clerk to punch three
holes a quarter of an inch in dia-
meter in the scalp of the coyote,
providing both ears are left on the
scalp. The punching must take
place in the presence OF the county
treasurer and after the scalp has
been perforated, the owner Is per-
mitted to keep 1t. This will allow
Reno county farmers who catch coy
otes to keep the entire skin as
trophy and still be able to collect
the 81 bounty.-Hutchinson Gazette.

Although a large amount was paid
out for the bounties this month, al
previous times the bounty payments
for the month have been larger.
Two or three years ago the county
paid 10 cents for gopher scalps,
though this was later lowered to s
cents. At that time the commission
ers met quarterly and for three win
ter months, while the trapping sea-
son is at its height, $500 was paid
out, an average of 5000 monthly
for each month.
February and March are good
trapping months, and farmer boys
continue to keep a supply of small
change through bounty receipts in
