The drive for the thirty-five mil
lion dollar war fund for the Y. M
c. A. which has started over the
country deserves the support of ev-
eryone. The work which the Y. M.
G. A. has done and is doing with the
men at the front is most important
in every way. Not only does the or
ganization provide reading an enter
tainment to help them to fill the idle
hours, not only does it provide places
to write home and a thousand and
one things to brighten the life of
the fighting men. but 1T provides an
influence for practical good which
serves to save many soldier from
himself and keep his feet on the right
path. Armies are OFTEN beaten
harder in barracks than they are in
battle. The things that sap man
hood are to be dreaded more than
enemy bullets.
The Y. M. C. A. without preaching
religion or morality, has been going
about its work in business-like and
practical way and exerting its influ-
ence by providing clean amusements
to entertain the men in camp. An
army in the twentieth century needs
all of it's strength and all of its wit
if it would win. Modern war is
game of cold-blooded efficiency, OF
brains and machinery and physical
stamina. 1t is business and must be
conducted in a business-like way.
The old time custom Of serving fight
ing men grog before battle has
gone into the discard long. ago and
the fighting man today is lean jaw
ed, cleaIteyed, quiet, business-like
individual who can shoot, can stand
hardships and can think fast when
it is required of him. Any influence
which adds to his efficiency by keep
ing him fit, by providing means for
him to while way weary hours in
sane, healthy way, is desirable
thing to nurture. 1t is business
proposition to finance the Y. M. c.
A. When you are called on, dig.

No; President Wilson didn't
like that bunch from Maryland
who handed in such a budget of
criticisms of the National Guards
system. We don't blame the
President, that is, if we had
been in his shoes. That delega-
ton used unbridled language,
actually told the truth about
certain conditions, and the Presi-
dent objected-not to the truth,
but the language used in exprss-
ing such. The delegation refer
red to the National Guards
system as "a failure and a dis
grace" and the mobilization of
the National Guards along the
Mexican border as "a scandalous
waste of money" Gracious,
what language, and the truth!

Directions for Poisoning
lack Rabbits.

Poisoned Alfalfa Leaves
Dissolve l ounce of strychnine
sulphate in 2 gallons of hot water
and sprinkle over 10 pounds of
alfalfa hay leaves. Mix the
leaves thoroughly until all mois-
ture is absorbed.
The poisoned leaves should be
distributed in small handfuls in
lines a few feet apart across
portions of fields where observa-
tons made at night show the
rabbits to be feeding. Stock
should be excluded.
After snow falls poisoned al
falfa should be distributed ONLY
about stock yards or previously
baited poison-corrals from which
stock are excluded. These cor
rails should be baited with a small
quantity of clean hay a few
nights previous to poisoning in
order to get the rabbits accustom-
ed to feeding there.
When using the corral method
under winter weather conditions
the quantity Of alfalfa leaves in
the above formula may be in
creased to IA pounds. In locali-
ties where alfalfa is not raised,
rye or emmer heads may be
substituted.
Poisoned Oats Mix / table
spoonful of starch in J cup of
cold water and stir into l pint of
boiling water to make a thin
clear paste. Mix l ounce of
powdered strychnine with l
ounce of powdered bicarbonate
of soda (baking soda), and stir
with the starch to a smooth,
creamy mass. Stir in l teacup
of table salt. Apply to IL quarts
of good clean oats and mix
thoroughly to coat each kernel.
Distribute as in directions for
use of poisoned alfalfa leaves,
using a large tablespoonful at
each place. Each quart Should
make twenty-five or thirty doses.
A clear, cold night, when snow
is on the ground and the rabbits
natural food supply is scarce, is
the best time to expose this
poison.
Caution .All utensils used in
the preparation of poisons, and
all poison containers should be
kept PLAINLY LABELED and
OUT OF REACH of children,
irresponsible persons, and live
stock.

For advocating a community

The Arizona legislator who
would introduce a bill to prohibit
the use, of wood alcohol as a
stimulant must be suffering with
a super desire to become immor-
talized, one way or another.
Why not turn the thisty devils
loose? Only one or two drinks
of the deadly poison will fix 'em.
But, why class legislate? Why
not put carbolic acid, shoe polish,
concentrated I've, and other sure
shot funeral chasers on the pro-
hibition list with wood alcohol?
