$500 Per Year
A Successful Drive.

AS was anticipated, the rabbit drive
in the vicinity of the Wilson Bros.
neighborhood on Monday last was a
most successful one, and as a result
at least 10000 rabbits paid the pen
atty with their lives for prying upon
the property of the neighbors in that
locality.
The drive started at a point near
the Gauss farm, northeast of town,
and it had not proceeded far when
the brush seemed literally alive with
the pests. The rabbits, however,
seemed quite accommodating and
willing to be driven as but little diff
ficulty was experienced by them at
tempting to break through the lines.
The pen was located about l "
miles from the starting point and be-
fore it was reached there was thous-
ands of rabbits in sight. The pen,
however, proved too small, but the
crowd was equal to the occasion and
with solid line formed, but very
iCN VI NhC ioOOlto 6Ob a ays AZ lhO
close of this drive the count showed
something over 1000 killed in the
pen, which added to those that were
killed outside, the number would
reach 5000 at least, which is the
most that has been killed in any one
drive ever held here.
Lunch was served after this drive,
after which two more drives were
held, which netted about as many
more rabbits, and a conservative es-
timated the number that were killed
during the day at not less than
10000.
The number Of participants at this
drive was the largest that ever at
tended an event of this kind, there
being over 600 people fed at lunch
time. 1t was great day for the
rabbits, and the result of the slaugh-
ter of these pests on Monday should
be noticeable in that section the
coming season.

That the farmers of the Pacific
coast are annually spending $1,000 =
600 unnecessarily for grain bags, and
that the farmers OF no other part of
the United States are so foolish, was
the statement made to the grain
growers of Umatilla county in con-
vention by Louis Delivuk, of Quin-
cy, Wash.
The speaker said there are only
two classes of citizens who favor the
handling of grain in sacks. These
are the buyers who charge the farm

Returns Coming In.

There is no more guess work as to
the offer of 10 cents each for rabbit
pelts, as several who made sample
shipments last week have received
their returns promptly as promised,
the only request being that the pelts
be shipped in larger quantities. In
a letter accompanying the draft for
the shipment made by G. D. Finch.
Mr.. Oppenheimer says:
Il received your 425 skins, and
wish to say that / am well pleased
with the handling of your skins, and
l hope that you will continue to keep
shipping them like this and in large
quantities if possible, and l would
like very much if you will instruct
the other people there how to stretch
skin and dry them, as 1t will depend
upon these skins 1 am buying this
season whether 1 am able to buy and
sell large quantities again next sea-
son. 1 wish you further good luck.
Mr.. Finch, and hope to receive
large size shipments from you"
| The business has received quite a
stimulus since the returns have been
received, and it is likely that thou
sands of skins will be shipped during
the next few weeks. The boys have
only a short time more to carry on
their work as Mr.. Oppenheimer can
not use any pelts from rabbits killed
after February 18th.

Community Organizations Urged

We have on various occasions TAX
en- opportunity in these columns to
urge upon the settlers in the various
districts over the tract to form them
selves into clubs and societies for the
purpose of advancing the social life
of the community, besides providing
an opportunity to discuss various
matters tending to the welfare of
the tract. We already have several
of these clubs now on the tract, not
ably the Grand View club, the Bar
rymore club, and the Appleton Coun-
try Life club, all of which have prov
en- very successful, and have been a
source of much enjoyment TO the
members.

No Real Food Value.

The belief of many people that

agriculture, which says that while
they are valuable stimulants or flaw

Senator Borah has presented In
the senate bill for the creation of
a national clearing house for the
grading and distribution of all farm

reaping the greatest returns from
the products of the farm. 1t certainly

A number Of robberies are reported

A number of robberies are reported
from many localities along the line
of the Oregon Short Line, says the
Gooding Leader. AS hundreds of
these vagrants are being driven from
the larger cities on the coast they
spread out over the country, and as
they must live, and are too conscien-
tious to work, the only alternative is
to steal. AS a matter of precaution,
it would be we'll that the people OF
this and other towns take every
means to guard against danger from
this source.

CoMFoRT AND EFFICIENCY.

We have received no complaints
from policemen. but il is the daily
habit OF citizens TO protest the broil
ing OF traffic cops on the gridirons of
the business district. Whether the
human guide posts suffer or not from
the process the citizens say it makes
them uncomfortable.
The complaints should be made. of
course TO the board OF public safety.
That is where appeal lies. The board
is responsible for the safety of the
public and. consequently for the eff
cheney OF the police force which op-
crates under it's directions Aside
from all humane consideration it is
perhaps best to look at the economic
or efficiency side OF the question.
In regulative- forces such as the
army. the navy and police depart
ments experience has taught that the
largest efficiency is produced by nor
NAL conditions These pertain to
health OF body and clearness of mind.
IN which comfort is an indispensa bic
factor. The soldier. the sailor and the
policeman must he properly housed
fed and clothed 10 render the best
service.
Our policemen probably have COM
Portable quarters when not on duty
and certainly look as If they have plen-
~ OF good food. but they ar not prop
erly clothed-in summer. Practically
they wear their winter clothing the
year round. We don't know whether
this is their fault or somebody else's
fault. the fact remains that the fault
exists and should be corrected. Police
efficiency. especially that OF the traf-
nc squad. cannot be up TO standard
under these conditions.
In Denver, for instanre. the sum-
nrer uniform for policemen is khaki,
in other cities duck or other light
goods is used. II matters little what
the material is so il is uniform and
the officers are comfortable in il.
Motorcycle Policeman Diver. who re-
Heves the officer at Michigan st. and

ton. He wears his khaki uniform
and looks comfortable. As Goldberg
would say, what is the board OF pub
lie safety gonna do about il?

BOOSTERS, DAY.

There was an injection of the gen.
uine South Bend spirit in Boosters
day. manifestation of the power Of
enterprise and achievement which
ordinarily does it's work so quickly
that the results rather than the means
of production are seen. The depths
of the city's public spirit were stirred
and the fountain overflowed.
The appreciation of Manager
Smiths efforts TO give South Bend a
winning ball team must have filled the
measure of the managers hope. The
sincerity of the expression could not
have been questioned. For half
day business paid it's respects to base
ball. recognizing the national game,
as now represented here. as an asset
and as a factor in promotion.
That was the sentimental part. The
line at the box Office did the rest. In
both a moral and monetary sense
Manager Smith was given the encour-
agement and support he so greatly
merits. Incidentally South Bend was
given publicity which will detract
nothing from it's world wide fame.

its original form was severe upon lake

stitute is a long rush toward the other
extreme.
TWO things are plainly necessary TO
human safety on deep water. salt or

The other is enough competent sea-

The Alexander substitute provides
neither. 1t might better be called a
bill to increase the perils of naviga-
ton.
There is no longer the excuse that
new regulations in the interest Of
