in our minds and on our hearts Ameri-

democracy. That was the message
which the sounding Of taps carried
to all thoughtful minds. The bodies
of our beloved win fan on foreign soil,
but their souls will be marching on
i'll the company Of the army Of martyrs
who died in the cause Of freedom ~
glorious immortality, but with its
burden of woe for the living 10 bear.
Faith in the blessedness OF death for
humanity S advancement will be our
comfort then, as if always has been.
As Emerson has put it, though the
cannon vollev have a sound Of flu
neral echoes we ''ean yet hear
through them the bencdietion Of their
country and mankind. Thoughts that
/ thus reach into the near future up
/ lifted the souls Of men as they reflected
ON the past, and made ready to face
the vastly troubled present.

cautious driver, but he has also played
a little in luck in not having some
speed maniac or road hog run into him.

New Plan to Corral Rabbit.

Giaccomo Gallo, ranchman of
Unionville. Humboldt County. has a
scheme for ridding his farm of rab-
bits that is working well and yielding
profit. He states that he has
caught more than 1000 rabbits this
year and has fattened five hogs and
lot of chickens on the meat. He
has a rabbit-proof wire fence around
his ranch. The rabbits make holes
under the fence and get into the
fields. He made a little corral just
outside the field at one corner and
made hole under the fence. He
stops up all the other holes after the
rabbits get into the field and then
drives them into the corner and they
go through the hole and into the lit
tie pen. where he slaughters them
with a club.

be made without seriously affecting
the packing houses. Cotton buys
the meat for the Government and
Allies. and it is believed that any
recommendations he makes will be
accepted by the meat interests.

WARNING TO DOG OWNERS

This morning two dogs were
chasing my sheep around in the
field. One had collar around neck,
both of shepherd breed. one had
white neck and tail tip. l con-
slider sheep more essential to the
development of northern Mime
sofa than dogs; we can not keep
both and the dogs must go or
be kept tied up the year around.
We don't win the war with dogs
chasing sheep and / give fair
warning that trespassing on my
premises by dogs chasing sheep
will not be tolerated by me nor
by any other sheep owner.
