MUST KILL PRAIRIE DOGS
Texas Land Owners Are Compelled
by Law to Destroy the
Pests.

n Austin, Tex.-Prairie dogs are de-
clared to be a public nuisance, accord
ing to an act passed at the special ses-
sion of the Thirty-fourth legislature
and which act is now effective. The
act also provides for their extermina-
ton, but no bounty is given by the
state for eliminating the so-called
pests; owners of land on which prairie
dogs exist are required under the law
to kill them and an allowance of two
years is given to such owners to rid
their lands of the nuisance.
1t is also made the duty of the coun-
ty commissioners of any county in
which prairie dogs exist to investigate
and determine whether owners of
lands in their respective commission
ers' precincts have complied with the
provisions of the law.
In the event the owner of land on
which prairie dogs exist fails to de-
stroy such pests the act empowers the
sheriff of the county involved to pro-
coed and destroy the nuisance.
For his service the sheriff is allowed
five dollars a day for actual service,
and this sun is to be paid by the coun-
ty commissioners, but the amount so
paid shall be assessed against the
owner of land and the account or claim
entered as a lien against the land in
case of failure to pay the amount due
the county.

USE PAPER JARS FOR JELLY
Have Advantage of Being More Easily
Packed Without Danger
of Breaking.

The paper family, already so help
full to the housewife, has a new mem
Der included in its circle-the paper
jelly glass. 1t is of parafln paper,
like the drinking cup, and comes in
several sizes, from two ounces to 16
ounces The eight-ounce size costs
about 10 cents a dozen. The advan-
tage of the paper cup is that 1t can
be packed o easily without danger
of breaking and with less weight than
the heavy glass jars. Again, there
are many times when we want to give
a glass Of jelly to a friend and when
we do not like to ask for the return
Of the glass. Yet the cost of many
glasses is quite IN item as contrasted
with the cost of the paper tumbler.
Also We often want to take a glass
Of jelly to a picnic and then we do
not want the weight and bother of a
heavy container. Here is where the
paper cup has a distinct and perma-
lent place with the housewife.

When the Birds Wake Up.

An enthusiastic ornithologist has
amused himself by investigating the
question at what hour | n summer the
eommonest small birds wake up and
sing. He says: "The greenfinch is
the earliest riser. as 1t pipes as early
as half-past one in the morning. At
about half-past two the blackcap be-
gins, and the quail apparently wakes
up half an hour later. 1t is nearly
four o'clock and the sun is well above
the horizon before the real songster
appears in the person of the ~blackbird.
He Is heard half an hour before the
thrush. and the chirp of the robin be-
gins about the same length OF time
before that Of the wren. Finally. the
house sparrow and the tomtit occupy
the last place on the list"
This investigation has altogether
ruined the lark's reputation for early
rising. That much-celebrated bird is
quite a sluggard. as 1t does not rise
till long after chafinches, linnets and
a number of hedgerow birds have been
up and about for some time.
