DIRECTIONS FOR txTtR-
MINATION OF JA(KRABBITS

Director S. B. Doten of the Nevada
agricultural experiment station has the
following to say regarding the exter-
mination of jackrabbits:
1.-THE spread of rabies among coy
otes and the consequent destruction of
large numbers by shooting and trap
ping, may have its effect in the increase
of jackrabbits. Already a number of
iecmplaints of excessive numbers IF
rabbits have been received by the Uni
versity. The matter was taken up with
the director of the biological survey at
Washington, DIR. H. W. Henshaw, who
writes as follows concerning methods
of poisoning jaekrabbits:
90 At the request of the Nevada Ag-
ricultural Experiment station, we are
enclosing directions for preparing the
poison. Both the poisoned hay and oats
have proven to be very successful in
controlling rabbits in southern Idaho
and parts of Oregon during periods of
deep SHOWS in winter, at which time
the rabbits eongregate in large num-
bers around hay stacks and in sage
brush ad djaeent to cultivated fields
However, when their natural food il
abundant. the rabbit is very difficult
and in locations where severe winter
conditions are rare ii has been found
that fencing against them is the most
practical method of protecting crops.
"' woven wire fence of IL inch
n,esh and SO inches high is sufficient
to exclude all rabbits, providing the
lower border of the fence is buried 3
OF 6 inches below the surface of the
ground This is most easily accomplish.
ed by blowing furrow along the fence
line, setting the lower border of the
fence along the bottom of the furrow,
aI.d then reilling it
Poisoned Alfalfa Hay
Dissolve ] ounce of stryehnine in 3
gallons of hot water and sprinkle it
over 16 pounds of good, leafy alfalfa
hay, chopped into | or Pinch lengths
This poisoned hay may be scattered
in very small quantities along rabbit
trails, or exposed in small heaps in 10
cations from which stock is excluded.
Poisoned Oats
Mix a tablespoonful of starch in half
a teacup of cold water and stir into a
clear paste. Mix l ounce of powdered
strychnine with ] ounce of powdered
biearbonate of soda and stir with the
starch to a smooth, creamy mass, Stir
in onet tenth of an ounce of saccharine.
Apply to IL quarts of good clean oats.
and then mix thoroughly to coat each
kernel. Scatter sparingly along rabbit
trails, about teaspoonful at each
place, or expose more literally where
stock is not endangered.

DESTROYING RABID COYOTE

At the Klueny ranch, south of town,
this morning, a rabid eooyte attacked
Maudie, - the mule, hitehed to bug
gy. But " Maudie' saw it first and the
coyote s advances were met with a
well-aimed kick that knocked it several
feet and left it stunned. Before it
could recover itself J. Diess secured a
shotgun and despatched the brute at
the first shot. The head was brought to
town and given to DR.. Mangan, who
will probably send it to the state labor

She is intensely proud OF her horses.
of which she owns outright thirty, and
can round up one hundred on a few
hours notice. She furnished the mag
nificent horse which Dustin Farnum
rode when he made the wild dash
through window into the mission.
Bosworth, incorporated, leased a
vast ranch for this picture, one OF the
most beautiful locations in the noun
tains, overlooking a valley, with
snowcapped range in the vista be-
vond. So inaccessible was this To-
cation that quarters had to be built
for the company in order to waste as
little time as possible, and then too
the travel in the rainy season on
adobe soil was dangerous.
Across the street from the main
Bosworth Studio a special stage sew
enty-five by ninety feet was construct
ed as a reproduction of an early Cali
fornia Mission. The whole of South
ern California was secured to secure
loans from missions, of altar pieces,
reredos paintings, etc, and permission
was asked in each case for the privi-
iege of photographing in and around
the mission. The armament used in
the battles in this picture would stock
an average armory, and would be a
good start toward repelling actual in
vaders.
The mountains back of Los Angeles
rang with calls of hundreds of voices,
the echo of a cavalcade of horses
feet and the roar of musketry for
many days in the preparation of this
thrilling photoplay, and the voice OF
the director, strong and insistent, Civ
ing orders through megaphone, stir
red III a swarm of cowboys, vacquer-
os Indians and Mexican soldiers and
set them all in motion.
This is a play of the red-blood var
iety and is presented as the supremest
effort of Bosworth, incorporated, fol

ISIS THEATRE


The Famous Players Companys
four part film version of May Bios
som" now showing at the Isis Theatre
is an adaptation of David Belasco's
first production, which introduced him
\ TO the theatre going public some TWEEN
ty years ago and which was the first
stage production to run more than
one season at one theatre in the car
~ days Of the drama.
The action of the story is woven
about the love of two men for south
ern girl prior to the opening OF the
Civil War. This period in the history
of the United States has Offered much
material for the stage, yet it is doubt
full whether or not there is another
drama of this period to compare with
it. This material lends itself admir-
ably for the screen and as produced
bv the Famous Players Company at
their Western Studio, May Blossom
promises to be one of the best dramas
laid in the Civil War period, yet which
is not strictly a military drama.
How the girls lover is arrested on
suspicion, how his friend, the other
sutton, takes advantage of this arrest
and eventually marries the girl, telling
her that the other had fled; how she
learns, after the birth of her child, OF
her husbands deception, and how her
little child brings about a reunion be-
tween husband and wife, leaving the
other first lover to pass from their
lives to suffer and live as best he can,
are all developed with increasing
strength until the final climax of Joy
and happiness to some and grief to
others.
A star Famous Players cast, includ-
ing Gertrude Robinson, Russell Bas-
sett, Marshall Neilan, Donald Crisp
and others, combined with settings
quite up to the remarkable standard
set by the Famous Players Company
makes MAY Blossom" a photoplay
we'll worth yhile seeing over and over
again.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
at the Isis.
There are several points in the
story of Captain Courtesy" which
makes it most interesting. One is
the fact that Dustin Farnum is the
star, and everyone who has seen him
in his other great photoplay successes,
THE Virginian" Cameo Kirby" and
the "Souaw Man, will appreciate
him more than ever in this latest pic
ture, for he has opportunity to show
more sides of his wonderful versa
tility. He makes an equally brutal
highwayman and a tender lover. He
makes some daring dashes on his
fiery steed, at one time plunging
through stained glass window and
landing in the chapel of an old mis-
sion while the Padre is at prayer, to
warn him that the mission is in danger
of attack by the Mexicans.
1t took tremendous amount of ex-

THE WAR LORDS WIN

IL does not matter much to me
Who wins the war across the sea;
For this ] know. the workers gain
Nothing but suffering and pain.
No matter how the fight may go,
The lighters will have naught to show
But broken bones and ruined lives
As legacies for soldiers wives.
Alike the German and the French,
Fighting behind their blood-soaked
trench,
The Russian and the Austrian,
The war lord kills the good in man.
And they who live to tell the tale
VIII all be losers, win or fail:
For though their flag may gain the day
They live to reap, they live to pay.
The workers have no flag to lose.
They have no king or land to choose,
NO home their own, no place to rule.
Who fights for others is a fool.
Who fights for property and flags,
Deserves no better than rags.
Who profits by these bloody wars?
Kings, Presidents and Emperors.

The Devil New York Motion Pic
ture Corp. March.-This five reel
screen production of Franz Molnar's
well-known play by the same title is
even better than the play in certain
respects. The appearance of the devil
at the Majestic Theatre, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, as impersonat-
ed very c1everly by Edw. ]. Connolly,
gains a certain sinister quality in the
pantomine. He fits from one charac-
ter 60 another sowing the seeds of
jealousy and unhappiness. The pro-
duction is not one for prudish people;
Bessie Barriscale's abbreviated cos
tunes makes a very free exposure OF
the upper portion of her anatomy.
But it is all artistically done and free
from vulgarity. The moral is easily
seen and it carries lesson to those
who are inclined to play with the FIRE.
Particularly the latter scenes, which
occur in the Internal regions and rival
Dore's paintings in realism This is a
strong production, beautifully pic
tured.
