farm, and will complete the same as
soon as weather conditions permit.
Milton r. Morgan has been a very
sick man at his home just west of
lone during the past two weeks. He
was taken suddenly i'll with pneu-
monia, and for several days it was a
question as to whether he would sur
vive. We are glad to state that at this
date he is much improved and on the
road to rapid recovery.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Dean, elderly peo-
pie of this place, have been confined
at home with sickness during the past
two weeks. They have been suffer
ing complication of la grippe and
pneumonia and for some time it was
feared they would not weather the
storm. They are now much improved
and their rapid recovery is looked for,
barring unforeseen complications.

Aaron Agee who reside twelve miles
north of lone, died on Sunday eve
ming last and was buried in the ceme-
terry at lone on Tuesday forenoon

Large numbers of lone citizens
were among those participating in the
big rabbit drive at Ewings last Sun.
day, wherein some 1900 bunnies we're
put to sleep. From reports, it will
take many more such drives to get
rid of the pest, as the animals are
very numerous and are coming in of
4, the hills to the creek in large num-
bers Some are inclined to think that
heavy snow, with cold weather fol
lowing, will prove an eradicator OF
the rabbit pest, and we hope that this
might be so.

IN DRIVE At EWING
Drivers Make Raid on Pests of Lower
Willow Creek.-More Drives
Will Follow on Saturday
and Sunday.

More than four thousand rabbits
were killed in the big drive which
took place near Ewing station on
lower Willow creek last Sunday.
1t is estimated that 100 people par
ticipated in the drive. In describing
the roundup of the rabbits, one of
the participants said that he believed
that four times as many of the pests
got away as were killed at the cor
rails, and that no visible decrease in
the number of these "sagebrush rats"
could be noticed.
Two more big drives are being ar
ranged for Saturday and Sunday.
The first will take place at the B. Z.
Doherty ranch on Sand Hollow Satur-
day morning at II o'clock and the
second drive will occur at the Barney
McDevitt ranch in Juniper canyon on
Sunday beginning at the same hour.
1t is estimated that $1,000 rabbits
will be rounded up at these two
drives.

About one foot of snow here on the
level. To date, Tuesday evening reg
istered the coolest of the season &
far, the mercury going down to 6 be
low zero. However, there was
change for warmer conditions by nine
O'Clock and another fall of snow was
registered. While this condition is
rather hard on stock, owing to lack
of feed, the farmers realize that it is
the best thing for the county and are
anxious to have sufficient snow fall
now to guarantee a good crop next
fall. 1t surely looks like is was COM
ing.

Barzee place, some 13 miles north of

other of the ranches about here are
being supplied with good wells and
not many years hence the water wag-
on will be relegated to the junk heap,
and used only as an adjunct to the
threshing outfit in the summer time.
This is condition that augurs we'll

The rabbit drive at Sand Hollow
Jan. 1, was a great success. About
seventy people gathered for the
drive and they ran in so many rabbits
that they could not all be corralled.

If people would take one-half the

everything thy hear derogatory

good deeds are ignored by society
and whose sii,hrst fault is con-
tinually harped upon and magni-

and care nothing for society, be-
cause society cares no hing for

wrong; but if it il no credit to do
right what enc Engagement have
they to do better? One. half of the
criminals in our j4ils and peni.e.-
