coyote pelts have been brought TO this
city by hunters who have adopted the
new-fashioned method of chasing the
animals over the prairie in automo-
biles. This sport is said to be more
thrilling than fox-hunting with hounds,
and men who have been chasing the
coyote for years say that it is the only
successful means of killing the fleet

animals have been chased ten miles

SWEDEN STRICTLY NEUTRAL
Says Americas Methods Are Opposed
to Hers.

Stockholm, via London, Feb. o.
The Swedish government rejects
President Wilson's suggestion that
other neutral countries join with the
United States in severing diplomatic
relations with Germany and declares
its intention to follow the strictest
neutrality so long as 1t is possible.
Sweden's reply was dilevered to the
American Minister late yesterday.
"The government of the United
States has chosen as means Of ar
irving at the realization of peace a
method absolutely contrary to the
principles which have guided the
policy OF the Swedish government up
to the present hour"
"The royal government, supported
by public opinion and by the unani-
nous solicitation of the country's rep
resentatives, intends to follow in the
future as in the past a policy of neu-
trality and impartiality toward both
belligerent groups, and 1t Is not dis
posed to abandon this policy unless
the vital interests of the country and
the dignity OF the nation oblige 1t so
TO do"

the week brings up again the fine

The most salient feature of its work
was the National Dairy show which
was held in that city last fall and the
magnificent group of buildings which
has been erected testify to the per
manency OF the movement.
To quote from the circular recent
ly issued, Less than four years age
the County League Idea came into
New England and established foot
hold, first in Vermont, in Bennington
county. Its fundamental principle is
cooperation. So fine an idea could
not long remain hidden, and within
year it was extended to Massachu

ment League being the first OF such
organizations in Southern New Eng
land; it is now the parent and model
of nearly a score of others In Con

CABINET DISCUSSES
 RAILROAD PROBLEM
IF RAILROADS PROVE INCAPABLE UNITED STATES WILL TAKE
 CHARGE.

Washington.-The railroad prob lem was discussed at length at the cabinet meeting. Afterward it was said that goverpment operation of rail roads during the war will be attempt ed only if it becomes certain the roads themselves are unable to deal with diff faculties that confront them.
 The general belief among admins tration officials is that the pooling plan about to be inaugurated by the roads should be given a thorough try out and that if it fails the government then should take hand There is no concealment, however, of some doubt that any pooling plan will work well as it might with each road compelleAl to concern itself with it's individual profits.
 Since railroad congestion and coal distribution are linked so closely of ficials are watching a movement to- wards the pooling of coal shipments in the middle west. It the plan works well it will be extended with gov ernment encouragement to other dis tricts. Government reouisitioning of coal and general government coal pool are considered likely next year. The committee of railroad heads named by the railroad war board to direct operation of the railroad pool will hold its first meeting in Pitts burgh.
 Fairfax Harrison, chairman of the war board, blamed much of the freight congestion in the East to routine prior ity orders issued by government de partments.
 Our investigation of conditions in | the East" he said, emphasizes the fact that congestion in that territory has been to a great extent brought about by the excessive use of prefer ence orders for freight handled for the government or for concerns di- rectiy or indirectly engaged in work on government contracts
 This condition is not due to prior ity orders issued by the government priority director, but to routine pref erence orders issued by many repre- sentatives of government departments. The attempt to give expedited move ment to an excessive amount of freight has increased congestion in yards by causing large increase in switching movement"
 In the country as a whole, MT. liar. rison said, the railroads are handling the traffic in as satisfactory manner as could be expected in view of the large volume. In the southeast the roads could handle a still larger busi- ness.

However. the conference went on record as being unalterably opposed to allowing use of grain, sugar and coal by brew cries and use of cars far transporting brewery products.
 The resolution, which was read by Dr. J. H. Reynolds, follows
 we, the members of North Ark ansas Conference, in annual session, Helena, Ark, hereby take IhIs occa- sion to express our keen appreciation of the high plane of humanity upon which our great president has pitched our participation in the world war against Prussian military autocracy and to declare our steadfast purpose to give vigorous support tc all meas ures which the government may adopt in prosecuting the war. In doing this, however, we regret the necessity of pointing out to the president the ln- consistency of the national govern ment urging upon the people to save grain and sugar while it permits the breWeries to waste vast amounts Of these same foodstuffs. Accordingly, as representatives of a great church, we protest to our president against a DO1icV which Dorp1jtc DniIIiopc oF +on, of coal to be consumed by breweries. when thousands of our people and many legitimate industries are suffer ing from lack of coal.

To our great president, in whom American democ. racy has lodged supreme power in this crises, and who has hitherto in his official utterance and acts reflect ed the best Christian conscience of America, we confidently appeal to square American conduct in the mat ters named above with the dictates of humanity and the ethics of Christian ity"
