War On Jack Rabbits

Reports are coming in that
jack rabbits and cottontails are
doing extensive damage to alfalfa
fields and trees throughout the
county. A few instances are re-
ported where rabbits are killing
out entire fields of alfalfa by eat
ing the crowns.
In the state of Washington
where the Department of Agri-
culture is cooperating with the
farmers in poisoning them, the
following formalae has been
found very effective and is re-
commended for Dawson county.
These poison mixtures can be
used with good results from now
on until growth starts in the
spring.
Poisoned Alfalfa Hay-Dissolve
1 ounce of strychnine in 2 gallons
of hot water and sprinkle over 16
pounds of good alfalfa hay, chop
ped into 2 inch lengths. The poi
soned hay may be scattered in
vely small quantities along rabbit
trails, or exposed in small heaps
in locations from which stock is
excluded.
Poisoned Oats-Mix l table
spoonful of starch in one-half a
teacup of cold water and stir into
pint of boiling water to make a
thin, clear paste. Mix | ounce of
bicarbonate of soda and
stir with the starch to a smooth
mass. Stir in one-tenth
Of an ounce of saccharine. Apply
to IL quarts of good clean oats
and mix thoroughly to coat each
kernel.
Scatter sparingly along rabbit
rails, about a tablespoonful at
each place, or expose more llber-
ally where stock is not endangered.

Splendid Turnout
At Band Concert

Taking into consideration the
almost impossible condition of the
roads it was indeed very surpris-
ing to see the splendid turnout at
the band concert which was given
here last Tuesday night. Over a
hundred and forty people were
present, besides those who took
part in the program.
The program as a whole, was
without boasting the best ever
heard in Circle, and the entire
program was carried out to per-
fection. Judging by the many
compliments which the band boys
received after the concert was
over, everyone was more than
pleased and really astonished to
note the rapid progress which is
being made by the Circle Band.
Financially the concert was a
decided success and way beyond
the band boys expectations. The
receipts for the concert was $42.55
and from the dance which was
given afterwards $3.50 making
the total $61.25. This will help
immensely in the band treasury.
That the people of Circle and
vicinity appreciate the efforts
being made by the band boys and
are willing to help all they posi-
bly, can to make the Circle Band
a success, knowing a good band
is the best kind OF a booster for
town, was again evidenced by the /;
most liberal manner which every
one dug up the mon, some pay
ing dollar for 35c ticket, while
others gave as high as $3 at the
dance.
On behalf of the band boys we
wish to thank most heartily every
one who SO literally contributed |
to the bands support. We also
wish to thank all those who were
so kind as to help take part in the
program, thereby helping make it
a success.

Lowell Says Circle
Has Great Future

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 10, If
Ben M. Larson,
Editor and Pub, Circle Banner
Dear Friend:
have been away from Montana
long enough to feel a material
change in climate, as we'll as a
good many other things, and as
think of Circle now, | can see no
reason why it should not be the
best town or city in Eastern Mon
tana. 1t has all the natural. ad-
vantages which go to make a city
of permanent growth-not a dan
gerous boom, but a sane and last
ing growth.
Since coming east have had
much time to reflect, between
visits to old friends in different
parts of the state, and not with
standing the advantages in a state
where most every town has manu-
featuring establishments and wide
awake business men, | am con-
vinced that the great growth, so
long hoped for in our section of
Montana, is not far off.
l have resolved, to do all in my
power to help make Circle the
most progressive City in the State,
and | am sure that with the CO.
operation of the people in the
Redwater Valley, toward this end,
would make Circle an unfailing
success.
Wishing you continued success
in your business, also in your
band work, remain,
Very truly yours,
JOHN K. LOWELL.

Hunting Jack Rabbits
Great Sport On Mayberry

Special to the Banner
President Wilson's call for Pre-
paredness got some of the people
over on Mayberry and Antelope
creeks stirred up, so they decided
to practice up. Their practice
fell on the Jack Rabbits of the
surrounding country. A call for
volunteers was made and as a
consequence about 81 friends and
neighbors met at the home. of Mr..
and Mrs. Leonard Boice last Sat
urday for big rabbit hunt. Sides
were chosen Mrs. Roy Leet and
Mrs. Boice acting as captains.
Lineup was as follows:
Mrs. .Boice's side - Mrs.Leet's side
Roy Leet Tony King
L. L. Boice F. Harrington
w. B. Jackson Ralph Sheely
Ralph Miller Norris Boice
&. F. Jackson Perry Kendig
Bert Sheely VIM. Orr
In the final count after the hunt
it was found that 80 rabbits had
been killed in all, and that Mrs.
Boice's side were the winners.
After the hunt everyone en-
joyed the oyster supper given by
the losing side, after which games
and dancing was endulged in until
morning.
The best of all was that the
men washed all the dishes Frank
Harrington and Bert Sheely rum
ming the dish rag, which accidently |
sometimes fell on the floor and
sometimes hit the ceiling but
otherwise the dishes came out o.
K.
Another big hunt is planned for
within few days, which will be
conducted under the same condi-
tions-that losers stand expense
Of another big Oyster Supper.

Congressman Stephens
Returns to Washington

Washington, Sept. 2. - Especial
Telegram. )-Congressman Sloan was
paired with Representative Dan Ste
phens OF the Third district Of Ne
braska on yesterdays vote on the
eight-tour basis day for railway en-
ployes. Members OF the four brother
hoods were surprised to see Mr..
Stephens appear on the floor OF the
house this morning. Mr.. Stephens
had cndeavored to reach Washington
in time to vote on the emergency
railway legislation, but was doomed
to defeat. He will remain here until
adjournment.
Mr.. Sloan, pairing with his fellow
Nebraskan, said today he would have
voted against the bill If he had been
permitted. He characterized the posi-
ton taken by President Wilson on
the threatened strike as the greatest
bluff that had ever been put over on
an American congress.
I'm MY opinion" said Mr.. Sloan,

own pile driver"

For several days the Omaha roads
have been hiring and bringing in large
numbers Of engine and other classes
OF railroad men. Had the strike oc-
Cured, they were to have reported
for duty Monday morning for assign
ment to their positions. To the rail-
road officials they were designated as
trainmen, but to the public, they were
known as strikebrcakers. II is esti-
mated that there are at this time
something like 1000 of these men in
the city, quartercd around at the
cheaper hotels and boarding houses.
From whence came the so-called
strikebreakers, no, one knows aside
from the railroad officials, but il is
asserted that the majority Of them
came from Chicago and farther east.
During one day this week, 200, OF
them arrived on trains from Chicago.
