HUNTERS MAKE SO A DAY
5000 Jack Rabbits Shipped from
Garden CITY in Two Weeks.

Garden City, Kan, Jan. 10.-Three
car loads of jack rabbits have been
shipped from Garden City during the
past two weeks direct to New York
city where they will be sold as lux

dozen and the hunter also received the
county bounty of four cents each At
this price many hunters have made
from $40 to SIS per day.
The killing of these $4,000 jacks
means saving of thousands of dollars
worth of grain and alfalfa to the
farmers of this vicinity that these
jacks and their offspring would have
eaten during the coming year.
