KANOSH MAN HAS
EXCITING EXPERIENCE
Attacked by Rabid Coyote Which Has
Bitten Bulldog and Raided Hen
Coop In1icting Damage

Correspondence to Fillmore Tro.
gress)
In your issue of January dth mcn
ton is made of the visit of rabid
coyote to our town, which animal came
near enough to Vincent Whatcot. for
the youth to kick it under the jaw.
1t then had scrap with Mr.. What
colts dog which was killed the next
morning and from what | have learn
ed, this same animal had several ether
scuffles with dogs on his way up TO
where | reside in the field on the south
edge of town. At 2 a. m. | was sud
denly awakened by the very shrill
bark of my bulldog, this being very
unusual because the dog is not in the
habit of barking. A second later a
battle took place on my north door
step; jumped out Of bed and looking
out of the glass door, saw coyote
making away.
The dog is blind as result OF
previous battle with a porcupine and
was unable to follow the coyote ex-
cept by scent. | grabbed my rifle and
stepped hurriedly into the MOONLIGHT
in my bed attire. The dog soon caught
the scent and we were then on our
way towards the chicken coop. AS
we neared the coop the coyote be-
came alarmed and started to run.
shot twice as he ran through the
/ plowed ground, and each time | shot
the animal slackened its pace. | thot
perhaps, the coyote was wounded, ana
started to pursue him; as / came
nearer to him, he stopped and then
started to trot around me in a circle
with his mouth open. | was afraid
to shoot because he was between me
and the house, so | was forced to let
! the animal trot on around me, and as
did so, it came nearer. When it
had gone far enough so that no house
was in danger, fired and the animal
fell just about 20 feet from me.
When morning dawned | went to
the chicken coop and found that Mr..
Coyote had killed one hen, bitten a
rooster through. the head, broke a
ducks leg and had bitten another
duck through the head.
| am keeping the dog, duck and
rooster secured to watch for fur
ther developments, and have sent
the coyote head to DR.. Realty in Salt
Lake City for a test for rabies.
The coyote bore very positive ev-
idence of having been mauled by dogs
and the town board has ordered all
dogs muzzled.

AS GEORGE AIDE SEES WAR

IT HE following Holiday Message to Our Young
Fighting Men" was written by George AIDE as
his contribution to the National Security League
campaign of patriotism through education. 1t is
deserving of careful reading and thought:
1--WE must win the else revise all moral
codes, rewrite all proverbs and adopt brand set
of rules to govern conduct.
1--WE have accepted certain time -honored addages
as self-evident truths.
"Then Germany came along with an intensely mod
variety of ethics bearing the label of kuur.
"Ihe new medicine is not taken internally or rubbed
on a niment, but you have it shot into you by a
large gum
Unless we refuse to take the treatment every
thing that we ever believed in will be ruled dis
carded and thrown into the alley.
IF Germany is not licked to a standstil we might
as well begin memorize and humbly accept the fol-
lowing:
Dishonesty is the best policy.
"Be as mean as a skunk and you will be happy.
Blessed are the child murderers, for they hall in
her the earth.
BE sure you are right handy with firearms, then
go ahead
can evil reputation is better than riches.
Truth crushed ii earth will not rise again, if the
crushing is done in superior and efficient manner.
BE virtuous and you will be miserable.
Thrice armed is he who goes around picking quar-
rels
Might makes right.
Hell on earth and hatred for all men,
DO unto others as you suspect that they might dc
unto you if they got to be dsrepuable you are.
God helps the man who helps himself to his neigh
boris house and his field and his unprotected women
These don't sound right do they?
"Ihe old ones that we learned first are not yet on,
of date. Suppose don't revise them"

Especial to Salt Lake Tribune.

Especial to Salt Lake Tribune.)
Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash,
Jan. 18.-Utah men in the national
army here are getting their first Whit
or real powder smoke and are making
some good scores on the target range.
With ideal weather, following week
of heavy showers, they stood in the
trenches this morning, or lay on the
green grass of the prairie in warm
wind which smacked of spring and
scored bullseye after bullseye.
Edwin Webb, whose wife, Naomi,
and mother, Emma Webb, live at
Cedar City, Utah, made the exception
ally good score of 40 out of possible
so. This was at 100-yard range.
Lawrence S. Parker, whose father,
Bryant Parker, lives at Richfeld,
Utah, was another good shot. He
scored 40 out of possible so at 100
yards and AZ out of so at 200 yards.
The men are shooting with the new
Enfield rifle, the kind they will use in
France.

INDIAN SCHOOL CHILDREN
WRITE CLEVER SLOGANS

A competition was recently held
among Indian school children by the
Federal Food Administrator of that
State, writes w. w. Armstrong, Fed
eral Food Administrators for Utah,
prizes being offered for food-conser-
walton posters. Thousands of school
children participated with poster de-
signs and food-saving slogans, and
the following succinct phrases are
given as examples of the chidren's
work:
Peel thin and win.
Be canny with food.
Can until you can't.
Be a conservative Bee
Every spud is bullet.
The kitchen is your fort.
Wise wives won't waste.
Eat ish--a good war dish
Kill kaiserism in the kitchen.
Every Hoosier help Hoover,
Fill all cans but garbage cans.
Pickle and can for Uncle Sam.
Save bacon until Berlin is taken.
The nation beats that saves eats.
Bread and buns will beat the Huns
Save navy beans-'twill sink the
submarines.
Spread butter thin-help hte Sam
mics get Berlin.
Not that we love food less, but we
love Liberty more.
Throw away your frying pan
bake, broil and boil all you can.
