vised TO Turn Pest to
Good Use.

Oklahoma City. Okla.-Jack rabbit
sausage will be n new dellcacy In Okla
homa as IA result Of the war. In fact
a few farmers In the western part of
the state last winter found a substi-
tute as palatable as the real article.
At a meeting of farmers wives In
Kioka county, Mrs. Ida Gregory. u
ty woman agent, discussed the efficacy
OF canning soy beans. One woman sug-
gested that the beans were hard to
raise owing to the raids of rabbits.
This objection was quickly discounted
by another woman, who exclaimed:
keep the rabbits away until your
beans are a foot high; then get a shot
gun and let them come. Last year we
had jack rabbit sausage the season
through. BY mixing a bit of pork the
sausage really is better than that made
entirely from pork"

find missing PROPERTY, valued at be-

counted for in Minnesota national

General Fred B. Wood after a confer

Approximately $48,O0O of unpaid
1916 bills are outstanding against the
guard, in addition to the unaccounted
military property, according to a
statement.
-"It is hard to see how General
Wood can do much" Major Brady said
HE is short on property and it is up
to him to find out where the short.
ages exist and where the property
now is.
But he does not know where he
can find the property and probably no
