| As an evidence of the length to
which some persons will go to satisfy
grudge, Marius Nelson of Mckenzie
reports that some party with griev-
ance against him entered his barn one
night recently and cut the tail off his
bull and poisoned the horse feed. Three
of the animals nearly died from the
effects of it. Ordinarily there are
causes without number that may
lead to disagreements between two
parties but under no conditions can
the party feeling himself aggrieved be
justified in seeking to get even by
venting his spite on dumb animals.
Such actions place the perpetrator on
a lower plane than the animal he
abuses and should cause him to forfeit
all consideration as human being
whatever.

 The Kennecott athletic club is now arranging a splendid program for La bor Day. A match which may have a decided influence on the European war is to be staged.

The contestants were to leave the starting point, circle the young lady and return to the start ing point So referee Stannard sent them off at the crack of the pistol, and Morgan won by a neck, but Hubby protested. He said Morgan grabbed the post in turning, and referee Stan nard allowed the protest, and ordered them to run it over again. So they got another start this time Hubby leading slightly, circling the post beau home plate, and passed under the wire a clear winner. And when he checked his momentum and looked back, horrors, there was Morgan still
