is RABBIT FUR OF
VALUE?


Idaho can put 100000 jack rabbit
skins on the fur market this year il
there is . demand for them, says W.
E. Crouch, rodent control leader OF
the University Of Idaho extension d.
vision, in 4 letter to 81 fur dealers,
in which he asks what prices they will
give on skins in quantities Of 1000,
5000, 10000 and $4,000.
Relative to the number Of skins
that would be prepared for market
in Idaho" says Mr.. Crouch's letter,
Il will say that last winter in our
campaign more than 200, 900 jack rab-
bits were killed and if there will be
q good market for the skins q larger
number will be killed during the COM
ing winter. About so per cent Of the
number killed will be skinned, if a
profitable price could be secured for
the skins Mr.. Crouch said he hoped
for a quotation Of at least 1914 cents
a fur.
mo joking he said, "a man can
make money killing jack rabbits. He
can make $40 a day at it. II we can
show that there is commercial val
ue to the rabbits, it will be the most
effective means Of controlling the
pest. 1t will induce men to go out

Sadie Lee, though a little child,
with a happy smile carried sunshine
wherever she went and just in the
very happiest, sunniest hour of her
short voyage on earth, Gods finger
touched her and she slept. Her eyes
that yesterday were bright as skies
of June, dropped tonight beneath
white lids that no voice can ever raise
again. Two soft hands whose rose
leaf fingers were wont to wander
Lovingly around mothers neck and
face, loosely holding white buds,
quietly folded in perfect rest. Soft
lips, yesterday ripping with laugh
ter sweet as woodland brook falls,
gay as thrill of forest birds. tonight
unresponsive to kiss or call of love.

state was divided into eight judicial
circuits, fixed by the constitution At
the general election in 1910, the peo-
pie amended the constitution and pre-
vie that the legislature could create
additional circuits. We now have
sixteen judicial circuits. Two of these
circuits have one county each, two
have two counties each and several
three small counties each, with the
smallest about as expensive as the
largest. If this record keeps up we
will have as many circuits as there
are counties. Haven't time to give

additional circuits.
