@Jingles" and not regular studies
occupied the school hours Of James
Whitcomb Riley, the noted Hoosier
poet, according to Mrs. 'gTibby" vi.
rey, 70 years old, of Athens, Tenn.
who is visiting with Mrs. S. A. Rice
Of Coyington, Ky.
"In the year 1S60-1s61, when !
taught in the subscription school at
Greenfield, Ind, Riley was one Of my
pupils, and, although he was a good
student, he never carried off the hon
ors Of his class.
"His chief delight was to hide be-
hind some other pupil and compose
"jingles,' a she called them, and
when caught in the act always ex-
planned that he had to write, as the
verses were always going through his
mind.
Composition came natural TO him
and he would stop in the midst of a
task to jot down some little verse.
When he was about 10 years old he
ran away with a travelling medicine
show and later painted signs on fen
ces, but would stop work suddenly
to sprawl out on the grass by. the
roadside and jingle"
Mrs. Ulrey attended the celebra-
ton in honor Of the poet which was
recently held in indianapolis and she
and her former pupil spent several
hours together recalling the old
school days.

SCHEME FOR KILLING COYOTES
Experienced Utah Sheepman Has
Plan For determination of
Stockmen's Worst Enemy

w. H. Crane, an experienced
sheepman of Herman, Salt Lake
County. gives a plan for the exter-
mination of coyotes which he believes
will be effective. says the Salt Lake
Herald Republican.
ANY plan for the determination
of the coyote to be effective" says
Mr.. Crane," must be systematic.
The range should be cleared of the
coyote before sheep go upon it. Eff
forts to poison coyotes while the
range is covered with sheep will kill
a few, but no one familiar with the
habits of the coyote is going to say
that coyote will take cold bait in
preference.to live, fat lamb if he
can get one.
my idea is not to clear the range
of coyotes before herds enter upon
it. Take the Winter range, for in
stance. Let several outfits. say IL
or 13. equipped with plenty of water
and food to last for two or three
weeks and with $50 head Of sheep
each start on the range before the
regular herds reach it. These out
fits should scatter over the range.
When each outfit camps at night,
those in charge should corral their
sheep, with the exception of three
or four, which should be killed. bait
ed with strychnine and placed just
outside the corral. In the morning
the carcasses of the sheep killed the
night before, or what is left of them,
should be burned. An outfit should
move about three miles each day and
keep on the range until its 250 sheep
are exhausted. Enough outfits
should be provided to cover a range
thoroughly.
"Of course it would take several
thousand head of sheep. probably,
to clear range, but am convinced
that every thousand sheep sacrificed
in the above manner would bring a
return of 1000 coyotes. If my plan
were adopted throughout the State
it would mean a saving of $50, 900 or
$4,000 year to the sheepmen."
Mr.. Crane states that he would be
willing next Fall to provide 100
sheep and man to handle them if
his plan should be adopted by the
sheepmen, to go towards extermin-
ating the coyote on the Winter
range. Only men familiar with the
country should be employed to do
the work, according to Mr.. Crane.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
A Thousand Strong

a lnousond otTong
Carson News: A thousand people
stormed this city Wednesday lobby
ing for the race horse and divorce
bills which were being considered in
the Legislature. They came from
Tonopah. Goldfeld, Winnemucca,
Virginia City, Elko, Fallon, Dayton,
Sparks, Reno. Gardnerville, Love-
lock and from other portions of the
State. They were an enthusiastic
bunch and were proud of the tags
they were bearing voicing their
wishes. Never in the history of the
State has such demonstration taken
place and perhaps never in its history
will it be duplicated. The measures
were of such Importance to the bus
|iness men of the city of Reno that
the business houses were closed for
the day and employer and employee
travelled to the capital city to give
his or her aid to the cause.
Not alone was it a delegation of
men but there were hundreds of
women who wore the banners of the
business men and were pleased to
lift their voices for the issues which
concerned them as we'll as the male
members of the community. Neither
was it delegation of the gamblers,
the riff raft and the down and cutters
of community, but it comprised the
best men and women of the cities
represented. They were a happy,
orderly crowd. a crowd which had a
purpose and was working for its ac-
complishment. That they accom-
plished their purpose was shown in
that two of the most important meas
ures of the session were passed, one
in each House without difficulty and
without squabble.
The divorce and the race horse bills
are now we'll on their way to passage
and the divorce bill will be brought
up in the Senate and the race horse
bill in the Assembly the early part
of the coming week. No one can
! forecast the outcome.

BLOCMO|NG ENGLAND

Germany has resorted once
again to the most promising meth
cd of naval warfare against Eng
Ind. BY using submarines whose
sailing radius has been vastly in
creased, the Germans are able to
sink English merchant ships on
ny Of the coasts of the United
ngdom. 1t is a sort of guer-
rilla warfare, says the Salt Lake
Tribune, but in an endurance test
between the two countries it
stands the best chance of being
the only successful method Ger
many can employ. To accomplish
it's object time is required. Ger
many csnno' # England's
food supply in day or a week,
but given time to construct fleets
of long-distance submarines she
might be able to attain the object
in few months or year.
Everyone has been struck by
the strange inactivity of the Eng
lish submarines for three or four
months. This has been due to
the fact that German shipping,
whether men-of-war or merchant
men, has been shut up in home
harbors and difficult to get at.
Dispatches, however, recently re-
corded the safe arrival OF an
American vessel at Bremen with
out even the aid of a pilot. If a
merchant vessel can run the risk
of mines to enter a German har-
Dor, surely the English subma-
rines can afford to take a similar
risk.
On the other hand, the Ger
mans have utilized their sub
marines to the best possible ad-
vantage. In a few months they
have doubled the sailing radius
and are able not only to operate
on the east coast of England and
in the English channel, but TO
carry this species of warfare to
any point on the coasts of Great
Britain. If England is to cope
with this new danger she must
display a similar ingenuity. 1t
will not do to rely upon the
methods of naval warfare that
that were we'll known at the be-
ginning of hostilities. Unless Eng
land can match wits as well as
ships with the Germans, she will
find her foe gaining new advan-
tages all the time.
Once more something has oc-
Cured to wake up the imper-
turbable Englishman. He sees
now that it is possible to block
ade his coasts by the smallest
and the most easily constructed
of warships. Instead of spend
ing $S,OO0,OO0 or $40, 900 on
a battleship, the Germans can
produce 80 or 100 submarines
for the same price.
