TURNING PESTS INTO PROFITS.
United States Department Of Agricul.
ture Has Plans for Dealing With
the Rabbit Problem.

Fully 2OO0OO,OOO 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 rabbits killed were
consumed, they would represent be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons Of val
liable food, and If proper measures
were taken to insure the collection Of
skins, these alone would have value
Of $20,OO0,O00. The biological survey
has frequently been called upon to help
western farmers in coping with the
rabbit pest. In view Of the probable
economic value of rabbit meat and fur
in the coming few years, the energies
of the farmers and ranchmen will be
directed to the conservation of this Inn
portant resource. Already a number
of establishments for collecting, dress
ing, canning, and shipping rabbit meat
are in operation in western centers. As
in Australia the transition Of the wild
rabbit in this country from its status
as pest to source Of profit Is assured,
1t is believed.

and wrote Mr.. Davis to come home
and take charge of the business so
he could join the army. Davis ten
dered his resignation to the liberty
loan committee so he could go home
and take care of the bank, and the
liberty loan committee, without con-
sulting the cashier, extended his
classification to keep him employed
in the bank so they might keep Mr..
Davis at the head of the loan COM
mittee. They said Mr.. Davis was
worth more to the loan COM
mittee and the war interests than
his cashier would be in the army,
but from that time on the cashier
was bounded with postal cards with
the word Stacker" written across
the back and with the same word
written with soap across the plate
glass windows at the bank in the
night.
Back in the year 1911 when Mr..
Brady was enlarging his power sys-
tenn at American Falls and extending
the service so he had to have q lot
of business attended to in and
around American Falls, buying righs-
of-way and buying property, he Sc
cured the cooperation of some of the
local firms at American Falls and in
return for their help he made agree
ments or contracts to furnish free
light for them for number of years.
Mr.. Davis was one of the men who
handled great deal of Mr.. Brady's
business during the time when he
was governor and while in the United
States senate and under agreement
Davis was to receive electric service
for his residence until 1921. When
Brady sold the Idaho Power company
he protected Davis in this agreement
and the purchaser bought it with
the understanding that the contract
must be fulfilled.
Now the Non-partisan leaders OF
this state are accusing Davis of be-
ing hooked up with the power inter-
ests because his residence received
electric service without the usual
monthly payments.

THE BLACKFOOT SCHOOL
BOARD SHOULD RESIGN

The Blackfoot school board
should resign, with the exception of
one or two members.
When people consider the methods
of the board in past years they can
forgive the board, but for the way
they acted when they found they had
been betrayed, deceived and the
treasury fleeced, it will be entirely
proper for the board to resign.
Every man from Chairman w. c Sol
lenberger down, should lay his re-
signation on the table soon or render
an accounting Of his stewardship.
II they fail to do this, the people
should demand it, and If the people
fail to demand it when they fully
understand the situation, the COM
munity will have branded itself with
a stigma that will not soon come off.

subject further until after the Grim
inal proceeding now being instituted
are disposed Of. 1t Is not our in
