CAN TURN RABBIT
PESTS INTO PROFIT

Fully 2O0.oO0,0O0 wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every year
according to estimates made by the
biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture
Many of them are jack rabbits. the
majority of which have not been
utilized in the past. If all the rab-
hits killed were consumed. they
would represent between 100000
and3OO. 900 tons of valuable food,
and II proper measures were taken
TO insure the collection of skins,
these alone would have value OF
s2O.OOO,O00. The Biological Sur

THREE JEROME BOYS
WOUNDED IN BATTLE
Rex Note, Elbert Rice and Ralph
Keltner Receive Wounds in Action

Last week relatives of Rex Note
received word from him that he had
been wounded in action at the front.
The wound was on his right side,
the ball passing clean through the
body, but being a good clean wound
the doctor did not consider it danger
GUS The young man spent about
three weeks in French hospital and
was later removed 10 an American
hospital, and in his letter stated he
would soon be in action again. In
speaking of his being wounded Rex
stated that "they did not get him
until he had laid low a number of
the huns" He also expressed keen
desire to be up and at them again.
Last week Mr.. and Mrs w. p.
Rice received a telegram notifying
them of the serious injury of their
son Elbert, who is in active service
at the front. No details were given
in the telegram except that the in
Jury occurred July % and il is pre-
sumed the injury referred TO in the
telegram was the same as the one
the young man told of in letter
to his parents under date of July

BANKERS HELP FARMERS

Give the bankers a long credit
mark-they have helped finance the
war industries and food production.
In Idaho, Montana, Colorado. Cal
tfornia, and other western states they
are showing up 100 per cent.
Banks are lending their assistance
to the general movement to foster
and encourage livestock industry.
The banks are working with the club
idea. helping finance pig clubs. bull
clubs and COW clubs. The club idea
has been successful in the Northwest
and bears the endorsement OF the
American Bankers Association.
The banks believe in assisting the
boys toward an Independent career.
and find that through the boy, the
father is also reached.
The banks finance the boys who
agree TO enter the work under the in
struCtion or the extension service OF
the state and encourage the raising
OF livestock on the farms In general.
BY taking the lead in this work. the
banks find that they are assisting a

1. all on the North Side Tract that
a man thoroughly familiar with our

sented in an able manner. The fol-
lowing statement from Mr.. Hills
states his position as regards con-
structive and just legislation:

ocratic primaries September 3rd for
