ORGANIZED POISONING OF RAD.
BITS BEST.

The Times-Herald is in receipt OF
Information from private sources
touching upon the proposition OF
getting rid of the rabbit pests In this
county. 1t has caused the matter to
be brought to the attention of the
proper department heads of the gov
ernment at Washington and hopes 10
have some authentic first hand infor-
nation on the subject In the inme-
dieat future.
The matter should have attention
at once. II we are to get aid from
the government, and this is possible
by merely showing an interest and
asking for it, we should settle on
this plan. Those interested should
20 before the county court with a
request for conference and should
p the court show disposition to aid in
. The work 1t can soon be under way.
The United States Biological
Bureau maintains corps of experts
Who make it their business TO aid In
Just such work and all that Is
necessary Is to ask for their assist
. ance and 1t Is forthcoming. They
spend all their time assisting in the
control of rabbits, rodents of all
kinds, in fact, as well as grasshop-
pers AMI other insect pests. Accord
iGg to Information received at th,s
office the Biological Bureau Of g
United States has kept careful re-
cord of the cost OF killing rodents
since 1884 and this proves conclu-
iVely that there Is no comparison be-
tween the bounty system and the use
OF organized poison, especially when
u comes to permanence, thorough
ness as well as cost.
Two counties in North Dakota
were financially embarrassed not 80
long ago through the bounty system
and relieved only by the state taking
dp the organized bounty system.
II is contended that the bounty
has been success in the past. That
Is true to a certain extent but only
temporarily, and besides the cost has
been entirely too great for the bene-
fits received BY way of comparison
we cite an adjoining county, that of
Crook and Deschutes. where the
organized poisoning was taken up
and rabbits were killed with strych-
nine at cost of one-tenth of cent
each. How is that compared with s
= cents each?
One writer gives figures of the
superintendent in charge OF rodent
control Ia ao adjoining state. who
suotes 10 ceats each for rabbit hides

ONE IRRIGATION DISTRICT rLAN.

In another column will be found q
communication from C. b. Mcconnell
on the matter Of irrigation districts.
He asks for expressions on the sub
ject and is ready to aid in any man
ner decided upon ii the water users
can get together
The Times-Hcrald has heard the
matter discussed more or less during
the past few days and finds there is
quite a few favorable to the one dis
some putting it that one district
would be stronger and could really
do more than ii there were three
where a possible difference of op!n-
ion would arise as to the rights of
each district. In addition to this
advantage ii is pointed out that II the
big concerns, the p. l.. S. c.. Hanley
Co. and Colonization Co., will really
join in one district 1t will mean a
united front and bring results that
otherwise could not be accomplished.
The Times-Herald suggested be-
fore that a district formed of the
actual water users of the Silyies
River would bring about better re-
suits, as thus there would be no CON
tention as to whether there was
water TO spare after the present users
had been supplied The matter of
whether there is surplus has al
ways been a bone of contention. BY
those who have been recognized as
having rights by the State Board
alone making up the district this
will not enter into the affair and
t4us bring about more amieable
arrangement 20 begin with. After
this organization has gotten things
adjusted and there is a surplus, they
are the ones to dispose of It.
The Times Herald hopes the sub
ject will not be dropped but taken up
and carried forward 1t is to the
best interests of every individual in
the county and especially to those
who have water rights. They should
be getting in shape to find Just what
they have and how it may be put to
best use.

by. one st. Louis firm. This, however,
does not correspond with figures
given us by our friend, J. q. Butler
who was caller at this office during
the present week. Mr.. Butler
stated he had been shipping rabbit
hides to st, Louis firm during the
present season and that the price
given was hardly worth the trouble
to ship the hides. The Tlmes-Herald
is making an investigation OF the
market for rabbit hides.
Mr. Butler said he had recently
been over in Catlow and that resi-
dents of that section state II is use
less to put in crops this season un-
less something Is done toward the
control of the rabbits This is true
In other parts OF the county, no
doubt, and It Is right that the county
should aid "a the work. II we can rid
ourselves OF the pests for a small
cost why not take advantage of 1t?
1t is within our reach and The Times
Herald Is confident the county court
will take the matter up with the
people and give usch aid as within
its power
Poison may be obtained through
the Biological Survey at rates much
more reasonable. The Government
Is ready with its trained men to help.
This is certainly the better way to do
It.

1914 Glass Reunion.

The Class of 1914, Brookhaven
High School enjoyed a happy reun-
ion at the home of Miss Nell Vann,
one of its most gifted members, last
Thursday evening. Mr.. B. T. Schum-
pert, now of West Point, who was
of the school when
the class graduated, attended the af-
fair, his presence adding much to
the delightful occasion.
The dining room was decorated
with green and gold" the class CO
lors, while school pennants were con-
spicuous in the decorations. A clever
presentation of'the restaurant which
was the setting for the opening
secene presented in the class play in
1914, was much appreciated fca-
ture, especially when it developed
that 1t was real" to the extent of
serving delicious luncheon of
chicken, sandwiches, salad, ice
cream and cake.
DR.. Jack Parsons, i'll at the Hos
pital was sent dainty tray by his
classmates and for the grave of Chas.
Perkins, the lamented member who
died for his country, there were
beautiful flowers attesting the pre-
cious memory in which he is held.
1t is planned to hold an annual OBJ
servance of the graduation Of the
Class Of IA, the initial meeting at
the Vann home having inspired ev.
cry member to this desired end.

PAINT PROTECTION
AND ITS ECONOMY.

The preservation of structural ma
terials, which may be obtained through
the application Of paint, constitutes a
most vital means Of furthering the con-
servation Of our natural resources. 1t
ia, moreover, the most economical
method of sustaining the appearance
and general upkeep Of any commu-
nifty.
A structure coated with sheets of In
dla rubber would not be as well protect
ed from decay as a structure coated
with good oil paint. This is due to
the fact that a sheet Of rubber is not
SO durable or as waterproof as a thin
dried flrn of paint. The latter mate.
rial when applied dries to continuous
elastic film containing finely divided
particles of metallic, wear resisting
pigments. A square foot Of such a
filrn upon wooden surface costs less
than penny, yet 1t will beautify and
protect a dollars worth of surface for
many years. This Is low rate Of In
surHhce.
Dwellings, barns. outbulldings. sheds,
posts, fences, stock enclosures, wagons,
implements, wihdmills and other struc-
tures. whether of wood, iron or cement,
should be preserved. through the use
Of paint. FROM rapid decay. High grade
paint may be used successfully for all
such purposes. Colored paints will be
found the most sevlceable, the colorinr
matter IN the paint adding from iw,
to three. YEARS to the life of the coatins

row
To the happy shore above,
Prepare to meet him face to face.

1t may be the lowering of
standards is due to moral de-
crepitude; but often the stand
ard bearers do not hold them
aloft for the people to see and
follow.
How many people of this
county reflect for instance, that
the Sheriff is the chief execu-
tive officer of the county and
vote accordingly? How many of
you voters have stopped to
think that the courts of the
county are virtually in his hands
and vote accordingly? That in
many cases he has it in his pow
er to thwart the whole plan and
purpose of the courts and vote
accordingly?
1t is his duty to see that the
laws within his county are fair
ly, honestly, conscientiously and
impartially enforced and execu-
ted. How are you going to
vote?
1t is of supreme Importance
to accused persons ON trial to
have a man in the Sheriff's Of
fee who cannot be tampered
with or Swerved from the path
of official duty, by the enemies
of the accused. Who are you
going to vote for? Every hon.
est lawyer at the bar is likewise
interested. He needs a good
sheriff to vouch for him. Vote
for such a man.
Frequently it occurs that in
both civil and criminal cases the
selection of the juries is almost
exclusively in the hands of the
Sheriff. Suppose he is in SYM
pathy with law-breakers and m-
dertakes to manipulate the ju-
ries so as to make the plan of
justice an absolute failure?

candidates the voter may well
