This whole game preserve bus
mess looks wrong to us, says the
Tower News. Of course on paper
it seems fine. But results count.
It looks nice to know that there
is place of refuge somewhere
that game may propagate unmo-
Tested. That somewhere moose
or deer can say, like the children,
"King's Excuse" and the hunter
must sit down on an imaginary
line and wait.
But, man is not the only enemy
of our brothers of the wood. How
about the wolves? They, too are
protected on this reserve. Little
they care for line. And they
soon learn as well as other game
that man does not pursue them
in certain quarters and they raise
another family, peaceably.
All preserves look alike to these
sharks Of the woods. In establish
ing a refuge for deer and moose,
the kindly act is not alone for
them. It is for all animals of
whatever nature. There is no way
of excluding the wolf. 1t does
make a safe home for him to fly to
when man pursues. Wolves, foxes
and all kinds of animals breed as
do the moose and deer on the same
common grounds. These travel
afterwards at will. The weeds
and wheat are treated alike and
the harvest never comes as hoped
for. The preserve defeats its own
end and always will until such
time as way is provided for the
elimination of wolves.
Men under bonds might be al
lowed to trap on the preserve.
Men who know how. Responsible
men who will do their duty right.
There are such men. Minnesota
will always be wolf-ridden under
the present system. And in fact
under any condition we shall have
wolves. Iowa has them, and Iowa
is farmed to the fence corners.
Minnesota furnishes every re-
quirement of wolf to live long
into old age. With square miles
of hiding. With game preserve
where a gun or trap may not go,
under penalty, small wonder the
wolf is always with us and the ap-
preparation for wolf bounties
overdrawn, annually.

humillty's Power.

A woman once came to tho cave Of .
sage who was renowned for his pro-
found analysis of her sex.
Father" said she. "let me sit at
your feet awhile. am but woman
iaulty and foolish and weak-but I
would fain be the pupil of your learn
Ing and the disciple Of your virtues"
And tho ssge, secure In his wisdom,
consented.
Then he laid himself down to sleep
In the shade of . rock, out Of the glare
Of tho sun. When he awakened he
was blindfolded and bound hand and
ioot-a prisoner to love.
He had protected himself against
every feminine weapon except the
most dangerous one-humility!-New

THE postal authorities at Wash
ington, recognizing the liability
of postmasters to make mistakes
in getting letters in the wrong
boxes have fixed a penalty of 5000
on persons taking mail out of the
office other than their own and not
returning it at once. This law
also includes newspapers. The
excuses that it is the postmaster S
fault cuts no ice." If you have
been getting other peoples mail
you had better take warning or
you may get yourself into trouble.

All, to eat at all Is such a foolish

When cold storage vaults visit
I can only say, What is it

And the headstone cutter chuckles,
While the grave digger makes a note

Will send you henceward "Bluey"
Before the Chinese names its many

Be it made Of turkey gizzards,
Rabbits, frogs or common lizards,
You'll be repenting like the knave

All these crazy foods they mix
Will float us cross the River Styx,
Or they'll start us climbing on the

And the meals we eat in courses
Mean hearse and two black horses,
So before meal some people always
pray.
Luscious grapes breed 'pendicitis,
And the juice leads to gastritis,

And fried liver's nice, but, mind you,
Friends will soon ride slow behind

And the papers then will have nice

0eoinning 81 Jury System

The jury system with twelve men
comes down to us from the time OF
viking invasions Of England, those peo.
pie customarily dividing their lands
into cantons, and each canton into
twelve portions under twelve chiefs
These passed judgment on the more
serious criminal and civil cases and
the custom has outlasted all the intsr

This divided among the people of

new BRIDGE FOR WILLF0RD
Old Bridge Removed From River Too
Greatly Damaged For Use.

Last week County Judge W. 7.
Horn bought of the Greenberg Iron
Co. of Terre Haute, Indiana, new
bridge to span Spring river at Wilt
ford.
Up until a short time ago it was
expected that the old bridge washed
down in August, 1915, could be
erected again, but when that struc-
ture was taken from the river it
was found to be too greatly damae-
ed for use over such a stream as
Spring river. The old bridge was
two spans, and the new bridge is
one 220-foot span, which will reach
from bank to bank, and which will
save the erection of two concrete
piers in the river. All the. facts
taken together, Judge Horn figured
a new bridge the cheapest PROPOSE
ton.
The new bridge costs $4,000, and
is to be paid for in three annual
payments, the first in 1919, the
others in 1920 and 1921, the debt
to draw no interest.
The county has the old bridge at
Williford, two 90-foot spans, which
may be used over smaller streams
in this county or sold to some other
county that needs them.

Memphis Capitalists Are Buying Up

Realizing the great possibilities
which the zinc and agricultural

ties offer, recently Memphis capital
lists have invested heavily in Lawr-

This is said to be the forerunner to
the great development ofthese prop
critics and the building of a railroad
from Black Rock to Guion, to con-
meet with the White River road.
Among the firms that have in
vested are the cotton concerns OF

concerns of Memphis.
