pigeons and thousands and thousands of tiny folks that go to make up the

and are always available when needed.
Wherever rats are routed from nests
or harbors these dogs are eager for
the fray. When shocked or stacked
grain is moved or thrashed they kill
many rats. Sometimes a barrier, or
fence, of light boards is placed about
a stack, and dogs inside get all the
rodents dislodged. In this way 500 or
600 rats have been destroyed from a
single stack.
Cats Destroy Mice.
Cats are useful about farm buildings
mainly because they kill mice. Some
times they hunt and destroy rats but
a cat that will kill an adult rat is rare.
The chief objection to cats on q farm
is their persistent destruction of song
birds. A good cat is valuable when
her killing propensities can be con-
fined to rodent pests, but the majority
of felines are worthless or actually in
furious on the farm.
Great caution should always be OBJ
served in the use of poisons, but there
are situations on the farm in which
poisons may be used safely and effec-
lively. In the open fields poisoned
grain may be scattered near rat bur-
rows. In the poultry yard poisons
may be exposed for rats inside dark
ened boxes. A small, rather shallow
box containing the bats is set on the
ground with a larger box inverted over
IL. a hole in the larger box will admit
the rat TO the food, while chickens will
be safe. Strychnine is the safest poi
son to use where poultry run, because
hens are immune to small quantities

CAN YOU Tie ThA17

The Gunnison News-C Champion sus-
pended publication of the daily war
bulletins last week because there was
insufficient financial support. The
Empire of Gunnson complains that the
service should have been better pat
ronized and further states that the
bulletins were worth much more than
they cost, and that the people want
ed them as was proven by the large
number who borrowed and read the
few that were subscribed and paid for.
Cheer up. Rawalt- We can skin
your story a mile. Down here they
come in and brush the whole editorial
staff aside, help themselves to the
first copy before the ink is dry, swear
volubly If the supply is exhausted be-
fore they glom one, and then (irony
of fate) go out and leave the screen
standing open

SEE THE POINT?

Many people are familiar with the
old story of an American. who soon
after the opening of Japan to world
commerce. gave Japanese a needle,
the manufacture Of which he consid-
cred a great achievement The Jap
took the needle, drilled it hollow, made
finer needle, placed 1t in the hollow
and returned the two of them to the
donor. The Japanese have the imi-
tative faculty and they have the time
and patience to do stunt such as that
described. Labor is one of the cheap
est commodities in the land OF the
Rising Sun. 1t is not surprising, there
fore to learn that Japan has recently
develoed large needle manufactur-
ing Industry, using modern machinery
such as invented and used in America.
One factory alone has a capacity of
100000 annually and 1t is the expec-
tation of Japan to meet any competi-
tion that may arise after the war.
Japan will probably supply America
with needles unless import laws shall
be framed by senators and congress
men who believe that American work
men should not be required to meet
competition OF cheap labor in foreign
lands.

Ex-KINe DOES USEFUL WORK
Manuel Of Portugal Now Director Of
School for the Re-educatIon OF
MANNED Soldiers

Royalty has suffered much In the
present war. even at the hands Of its
friends. When the lnterallied confer
ence in the interest of permanently
disabled soldiers was concluded in
Paris. a party OF delegates journeyed
to England to Inspect the great schools
established there for the re-education
Of men MANNED in battle. One of these
schools In particular excited the visi-
tors admiration because Of Its mar
velous equipment and seemingly per
feet management. This was all the
more remarkable because the director
Of the school was a very young man.
So much impressed were the visitors
that before leaving they waited upon
the youthful director and fairly show
cred him with praise.
ut Is both a great responsibility and
q high honor to you. Sir" said their
spokesman. a distinguished French SCI
enlist. ito have been placed at your
age at the head Of 30 important .

II agree with you, Doctor
but in times past have had occasion
to direct matters even more important
than these" replied the young mnn.
who was none other than the ex-King
Manuel of Portugal.

men come in for condemnation at the
hands of the Republicans, who, two
years ago, were insisting it was time
to prepare for war. Be it recalled
Hilliard was reelected to congress on
a platform that "he kept us out of
war" The Democratic officials IN the
state house today are there because
of this insistent cry and they, two
years ago, loudly sang Il Didn't Raise
My Boy to be Soldier" That de-
livered the goods then. Times have
changed-they then knew it would
change. Hilliard has not changed
that is all there is to it Shafroth
has not changed, save in a desperate
attempt to save his seat in the SEN
ate. Republican doctrine decried two
years ago. is now grabbed by the Dem
ocrats to retain them in office. We
condemn Hilliard and did two years
ago, and along with him all others of
his kind. His kind was legion then.
We still condemn Hilliard and his
kind. His kind is not legion now We
believe Hilliard, Shafroth and Keating
should have reformed when their party
reformed. but they didn't, and now
their party is ready to throw the
hooks into them.

There is one gratifying certainty
and that is when the people of this
state elect Charley Waterman to the
Senate We will have a man of rare
ability, loyalty and integrity in that
office. That Waterman will be the
choice of the people both at the pri-
maries and at the polls, no one in
touch with honest sentiment in the
state for a moment doubts. The
speech he made at the state assembly
won him great many friends and
the fact that something partaking of
old-time political conventions domi-
mated the assembly. losing him the
highest designation. made him other
friends. Colorado wants a statesman
In the senate. Colorado will have
statesman in the Senate when it elects
Charley Waterman.

New Hotel for Lima. Peru.

The Congress Of Peru by recent leg
islation has provided for an up to date
hotel in Lima. to be constructed under
the supervision Of the national govern
ment of Peru and to cost not less than
100000 (073,0Oo). The site set aside
for the hotel is government property
located in the heart Of the city and Is
to be acquired by the company con-
structing the hotel.
The need Of modern hotel In Lima
has been keenly felt by the travellers
FOR some time. says Commerce Reports
During recent years the number Of
commercial travellers and tourists VS.
iting the west coast Of South America
has more than doubled. and many Of
these have found It inconvenient or
even impossible to remain longer than
rev days In Lima because of the lack
or adequate hotel accommodations.
