Trail" made by dragging part of a

fresh horse skin makes an excellent
drag, as the operator can stand on 1t
while placing the poison or trap, and
remount his horse without leaving q

such trails. Six or eight to the mile

(D--Poisoning large bats or car
cases Is not recommended. The prac-
tice is largely responsible for much
of the objection on the part of resi-
dents to poisoning. Large bats with
out poison are useful as poison sta
tions, especially when the snow is
deep. Whenever coyote signs are
noticed about such Stations" the
small, lard-sugar bats may be used
to good advantage.
Care and precaution to avoid acci-
dents In poison operations cannot be
too strongly advocated. Proper ap-
plication and supervision will do
much to overcome the existing pre-
judice against this valuable and econ
omical method for controlling pre-
datory animals. Further suggestions
on the subject of poisoning will ap-
pear In the National Wool Grower as
they are determined from the several
large experiments now In progress
under direction of the government.
1t has been suggested that doge

Workers For Food Pledges
Find German Efforts To
Obstruct Work

Washington, Nov. PRO German
propaganda spread through many
middle western states against the
signing of food pledges has resulted
in aiding instead OF retarding the
food administrations campaign, ac-
cording to information sent to the
administration headquarters, 1t was
announced last night.
The reported propaganda, IL was
stated, was arousing the workers to
renewed efforts and enabling them to
convince many householders that the
movement must have great merit to
arouse an active fight against 1t by
German agents and sympathizers.
Incomplete returns to the food
administration show that about g.
900, 900 families had been enrolled at
the close OF the third day OF food
pledge week. This total largely repre-
sented the efforts Of workers in GEN.
tiers OF population in thirty -four
states as no reports came from
smaller towns or country districts.
Indiana now leads all the states
with 110.2s2 families enrolled;
Virginia Is second with 100000. In

been enrolled. re '..

Probably the perfect time of the
Zoellners in ensemble is the out
standing feature of their playing.
They work together like a prefectly

was educated in Belgium, were play

America by the quartet. OF these,

was also charming.
Another composition by Goosens,
a suite for two violins and piano in
three movements was played by
Antionette. Amandus and Joseph, tr..
under the supervision of Joseph,

The change in the program was the
substitution for the closing quartet
