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

Fully 2OO,OOO,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 q value
of $20,O00,000. 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 i'm
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 it's status
as a pest to source of profit is assured,
it is believed.

At last the gallant cavalry figures

What a void there would be in the
annals of warfare without their trib-
utes to the chargers! All the poets,
from Homer and Virgil down. have
gilded their herOics with the animals
prOwess in battle. Not to mention Bu-
cephalus, the first horse of heroic
quality to get into history, there was
NapOleOn's MarengO, the duke of We'll
lingtOn's Copenhagen, General Grants
Cincinnati, General Lees Traveller.
General Sherman's Lexington and
General Sheridan's Winchester, which
has the distinction of commemoration
In poetry and of having his rider for

These secretaries have just succeed

POLES FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Legion of Soldiers of That Nation
aIity Are Cooperating With the
Allies in France.

Napoleon once said of the Polish
army, at is the best" Almost since
the beginning of the war it has been
the ambition of the Poles again to
distinguish themselves in the field, re-
gain their ancient prestige and win
from the world the admission that
their services entitle their nation to
autonomy and independence.
Russia for political reasons discOur-
aged the idea of a distinctive Polish
army both under the rule of the car
and under Kerensky. OF course under
the bOlsheviki the agitation ended. So
the Poles turned to France, which
babe them welcome and in an order
dated June 4, 1917, decreed the crea-
ton of a distinct Polish legion.
Now the legion, which has grown so
fast that it is really an army, is about
to take its place on the battle line,
having been modified in q great Camp
named Sille-le-Guillaume near LIE
Mans. The uniform is the same as
the French, with the exception of a
distinctive headdress, the "czapka. -
The officers are Frenchmen and Poles
who have served il France.
1t will be news to most Americans
that since the early days of January
large detachments of well-drilled Poles
have been arriving in France from the
United States. They are the regi-
ments which Ignace Paderewski was
tireless and devoted in recruiting.
