For mixing small quantities an or
dinary galvanized iron washtub is
convenient. For larger quantities
tight, smooth box may be used, and
the mixing may be done with n spade.
Each quart of the prepared grain is
sufficient for treating about 40 holes.
This quantity should be scattered
lightly on clean, hard ground near
each prairie dog hole. Do not place
the poison on loose earth or in the
hole. With reasonable care in scat
tcring the bats cattle and sheep on
the open range will not be endangered.
The poison is effective at any season
when the dogs are active. The most
favorable time for poisoning is early
in the spring or during periods of
drought, when green food is scarce.

Big Figh gIrishman
IsCarmen's Organizer

Two hundred and twenty
pounds of Irishman, six feet
tall, sguare-jawed and huge
fisted--that is Edward Me-
Morrow of Chicago, the man
who really started Tacoma's
street car strike.
McNiorrow Is chairman of
the executive board of the
AmaIgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway
Employees of America, and Is
here as the adviser of the
local men who are conduct
ing the strike.
He looks like a fighter, and a
clean fighter. His black eyes
snap when his ready Irish tongue
hurls invective at the enemy, but
they have way of looking stead
lily and earnestly thru the ridicu-
lous horn-rimmed glasses that he
wears.
Wears Liberty Badge.
The glasses are the only dis.
cordant note.
Big, round spectacles don't GO
with Spanish-American War Vet
Grams buttons and a rich, emer-
ald-green brogue, yet McMorrow
has all three.
He has a wilted shamrock
tucked under the edge of his Lib
erty Loan badge, and he looks
down at 1t many times as he talks
of strikes.
Street car strikes are unnec-
essary," he declared. Il have
yet to see the company manager
couldn't come to terms with II
he'd talk turkey at all. What
could we do with the company
declaring that there wasn't any
union?"
McMorrow says that street
car strike is like no other walk
out.
1t affects more people, he
says. First come the working
men who live way out where
rents are cheap. It's hard to
Iambast a friend and make him
walk a cuple of miles to work.
but Ii has to be done.
