PLANT A GARDEN.

At the initiative of Mayor Sylves-
ter, members of the school board
and County Agent Thomas, two
meetings were held this week to or
ganize plan for cultivating the va
cant lots of the town in gardens. AS
a result, there will not be a cultiva-
BILE lot in Monte Vista left to go to
weeds, as the school children, lot
owners and others have taken Sc
riously the nationwide injunction to
plant and Raise Food Stuffs."
The gardens to be planted by the
school children will be under a com
petent director and all citizens who
have a vacant lot which they are un-
able to plant this year should be
willing to donate its use for the good
of the cause. Notify the mayor,
Prof. Hayes or f. II. Thomas.

EXCHANGE ROBBED.

Early this Friday morning the EX-

broken into and robbed of about
$500 in cash and a supply of gro
ceries. 1t seems that the robbers
gained entrance to the store through
the back door and then pried open
the front door, presumably to have
two ways of escaping in case they
were discovered at work. The rob
berry was not discovered until the
store was opened this morning and

MORE men NEEDED
FOR THE RED CROSS

The regular meeting of the Red
ing at seven o'clock at the High
School Assembly room. Quite
number have enrolled as members
of the Red Cross but the number
should be much greater and every
man and woman in and around
Monte Vista should enlist in the
work The next meeting will be held
at the school building Tuesday even
ing, April Gath, when the object and
aim of the Red Cross will be ex-
planned. Every one is urged to be
present.
,Eighty-fve per cent. of Red Cross
work in war time must be done by
men. Camp butchers, cooks, wait
ers, privates in hospitals, packers,
teamsters, motor truck drivers-all
these must be men. The work is
hard and the physical strength of
woman is unequal to it. We must
have more men.
Many persons have signed up for
non-medical service under the Red
Cross this past week, but so far the
enrolment of men has been far less
than half that of women-and S5
per cent. of the number should be
men.
The pay is good-practically the
same as in the same occupations
elsewhere. While there are but few
places vacant now, there must be
much heavier enrolment to meet the
when the supply trains begin to
move, according to authorities.

the election of a president of the
school board for this district. H. M.
Howard has refused a second term
and the friends of J. Norman Fuller
have prevailed upon him to take the
position. Mr.. Fuller's consent was
given upon the assurance that he
would not be required to make a
fight for the position and we fail to
see why there should be any oppo-
sition as he is loyal to his home
town, progressive and capable.

Contracts for the erection of the
plant have been signed and the con-
tractors are under bond to complete
the same by June 5. The plant will
be located at Wasson, where sheen
are unloaded from the cars. The ca

the wool will be barred and stored.
The company, which is incorporat

big meeting recently held in Monte

Messrs. Ritch and King were so i'm
pressive and convincing of the mer-

are to attain more wool and better

quicker service and more humane

DIFFERENTIATION OF COYOTES

The question of bounties VS.. direct
hunters in an endeavor to rid the
community of coyotes has been dis
cussed p ro and con, but the expe-
rience of the United States Biologi-
cal Survey in the work of coyote
determination through Nevada and
other western states where the
beasts were infected with rabies,
causing prompt and effective work to
be imperative has demonstrated that
a systematic campaign by expe-
rienced hunters is the most effective
method Bounties were offered but
Notwithstanding the large sum paid
for scalps the numbers of coyotes
were not perceptibly diminished un-
til the regular hunters were placed
IN the field. These men actually
found 10000 coyotes which they had
killed and experts estimate not to
exceed so per cen,. of what were
killed were actually found. Saguache
county paid out over eleven hundred
dollars in coyotes bounties last year
and there as no apparent decrease
in the numbers of live coyotes in the
county at the end of the year. It was
the prevailing opinion that the coun-
ty was paying for scalps from all
over the valley and the bounty sys-
TEN was discontinued. This year the
commissioners have made a direct
appropriation for the employment of
hunters whose activities are to be
confined within the county and the
results are very encouraging. Under
this method the direct cooperation
of the United States Biological Sur
vey hunters as well as those placed
in the field by the live stock asso-
cations Is secured, whereas under
the bounty method the county really
makes a second payment upon the
same coyote. The coyotes should be
eXterminated not only because of the
thousands of dollars worth of dam
age done to live stock but also be-
cause of the danger to human life
through the spread of rabies. These
beasts are of nomadic nature and
this dread infection may at any time
occur among them here. The com
missioners of every county in the
valley should appropriate a reason
able sum for the employment of
hunters within the respective coun-
Ties to vigorously prosecute the work
in cooperation ith the live stock
associations and the United States
force now In the field.
