DIGS OUT EIGHT COYOTES
Kansas Farmer Earns Nice Bunch of
Bounty Money in Short
Time.

Wichita, Kan.-C. Spencer of Rock
ford township knew there was a fair
ly new family of coyotes on his farm
that fast were growing to the age of
destructiveness. Recently he made a
search for the den, and found it. The
young coyotes inside heard their ''en-
emy" on the outside, but could not put
up fight, so they retreated.
When they were fast inside the
den Mr.. Spencer walled up the, exit
and then began digging in from the
top. With spade he dug until he hit
the animals, and then shot them to
death.
He took the scalps of eight young
coyotes to the Office of H. M. Barrett,
county clerk, where John Chain, dep
uty, made out a check to him for $8.
The state pays a reward of 81 per
head for coyotes.

GERMANS LEAVE.
FAVORITE DRINK.
FOR SOFT KINDS.

BELIN, July 10.-War, which has
worked so many changes il the daily
habits of the Germans, has now con
spired with war weather to induce
the Germans to drink soft drinks
Bottles of lemon sour, ginger ale.
cream soda and other beverages in
cluded under the generic name of
pop" in the United States are be-
ginning to make their appearance on
shelves and bars formerly devoted to
beer and the thirsty people are drink
irg them, not from choice. but be-
cause they have to.
1t is no longer possible to make
enough beer to meet even fairly mod
est demands of the reduced home
population. The majority of the
larger beergardens will not be open
ed at aul this summer, and for some
weeks it has been no unusual thing to
find some of Berlin's biggest restaur-
ants and. beerhalls without a drop Of
beer early in the evening of warm
days. The sale of beer to households
in containers charged with carbonic
acid gas has been discontinued, and
only favored old customers can still
get bottled beer.
Bavaria, the greatest beer-drinking
country of the world, where many a
solid citizen normally drinks one to
two gallons daily, and where the
great beer-halls are filled at almost
all hours of the day, is in a still worse
plight. The time in which beer may
be sold has been steadily shortened,
and now there has come an order per-
mitting saloons, beerhalls, etc, to sell
beer only from 10 to u. 2 to and
after o'clock at night. Exceptions
are made in the case of beer dispens-
ed in afctories to their workers, and
by farmers to their help. No beer
whatever may be sold locally until
after the wants of the Bavarian sold
iers have been supplied
The scarcity is, of course, due to
the afct that the empire has had to
limit strictly the amount of barley
which can be turned into malt. This
amount has been fixed at 80 per cent
of the normal amount, but brewers
interviewed by The Associated Press
correspondent said they were not
able to obtain even this amount. An
unforeseen inroad has further been
mace INTO the available amount of
barley by the fact that the shortage OF
coffee has required the roasting of
great quantities of barley as a sub
stitute.
The government has granted the
brewers permission to malt in the
second (currenD quarter of the year
tire wull quota of barley allowed them
for the third quarter This will rob
hot summer days of some af their ter
rors, but even at best, the supply vii!
be utterly inadequate.

 MT Taft asserted yaat there is no domestic matter more pressing for the purpose of promoting the welfare of the business of the country than reform legislation along these lines.
 There are elements in the communi- tS,' added MT. Taft, who undoubtedly will continue to ignore any rights of those who hold capital in railroads to earn anything. When il is realized that such an attitude carried into leg islative and executive action paralyZes further railroad development, then the answer to this party of extremists will he let us have government ownership and then the investment of capital can go on because the government can aise capital by taxation Nothing could be more destructive to the best inter

 ownership of railroads. The history of such experiments all over the world
