account of the resources Of this part
of the valley as possible. We surely
believe in boosting, BUT we don't be-
lieve in lying about the country in or
der to boost. Every such boost is
simply boomerang and will return
on our head as knock.
The Rabbit Question.
At our regular club meeting Sat
urday, April 9th, we had as visitors
Mr.. Adams, Mr.. and Mrs. Haslam,
Mr. Mackelprang and Mr.. Farkner
Among other things II was agreed to
send the club president, w. l.. Shultg,
as delegate to Yale to meet with the
Yale club and try and help formulate
a successful scheme for destroying
the rabbits. Our own club did lot Of
talking last winter about putting up
wire fence and having a drive, but
that is about all it did. We did have
two successful rabbit hunts, the whole
Of Sahara turning out, and we sue
ceeded in killing over 200 rabbits.
But If we can secure enough wire 60
make it worth while, we can kill not
hundreds, but thousands in the valley
this coming winter. Now, of course
these pests are scattered so that a
drive would be practically impossible.
Mr.. Rowland Departs for Southland
Sunday, April 7th, witnessed rather
sad spectacle, namely, the sending
of Mr.. Foss Rowland again 20 the
Southland. AS reported in last week
issue, the "cure" at the springs in
California, of Howlands rheumatism
was only temporary cure and the
malignant disease took fresh and
probably more serious and danger
Gus hold on our friend upon his re-
turn to Sahara. Sunday evening he
was brought from the home of Mr.
Frank Hedrick on a cot. We tagged
the fast (8:45 p. n.y. train and with
difficulty loaded poor Foss onto one
Of the sleepers and into berth. He
was helpless and could only be moved
with great suffering on his part. The
officials on the train gave every aid
in getting the patient comfortably ar
ranged. Mr.. Frank Hedrick accom-
panied Rowland to California. Prac-
tically all of Sahara and surrounding
country was at the train to say "Alo-
ha De" to our friend
May he who guards our destinies.
bring him safely to his journeys end.
A Timely Warning.
Mr.. II. c. Dougherty and Mr.. Fare
man were in New Castle this week.
Mr.. Dougherty after hay and Mr..
Fareman after his horse, which he
pastured over there the last winter.
They report two rabid animals at New
Castle. / believe right here is good
place to urge our people to be con
stantly on guard against this dred
menance. Because we have had no
case develop in our own immediate |
neighborhood, We are inclined to be
careless about the matter. But if one
will read the dailies and our county |
paper one will see that the menace is
very real. Care and constant vigil
lance are necessary. Isolate or at |
once kill any animal which acts sus-
piciously. Don't take foolish chances
However valuable an animal may BE- |
it is nevertheless not so valuable as a
human being. Death from rabies is
said by the medical world to be the |
most horrible known. Watch your |
dog and cat and be on the lookout ~
all times for coyotes.

Easter Program Appreciated
Our Easter program was success
fully carried out, practically on the
lines originally laid down, except that
we were unable to give one number
H"Seno the Light" by the quartet, as
Mr.. Howlands voice was nocessary |
