Calotabs have the special advantage
Of not making the patient sick and
weak, as they do not upset the dl-
geston and appetite. One Calotab at
bed time with a swallow Of water
that's all. No salts, no nausea, nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing pleasure, or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished. your liver Is
active, your syttem Is purified, and

SEASON FOR
MIGRATORY BIRDS TO
PREVAIL, JACK SAYS
Ducks and Geese May Be Shot
Beginning Sept. 16 and End
ing Dec. 81, State Decides
After Protest From This
Section.

Federal laws regulating the season
for migratory birds will prevail this
year and ducks may be shot between
September 16 and December 81, Mar
ion Jack, member of the state fish
and game commission, said last night.
The state law. which opened and clos
ed the season Is days later, will be
shelved for the federal act, the COM
mission decided at it's recent meeting
in Portland.
Sportsmen in this section have been
campaigning for months in an effort
to get the state in line IN this matter
With ducks very plentiful in the lower
river region now. hunters were uneasy
lest they should be prevented from
shooting until October /. The deci-
sion of the commission to let the fed
eral season hold sway was greeted
with complete satisfaction here.
With Roundup as distraction
during the final week in this month,
hunters still have time between open
ing day and the show to get a bag of
ducks. After Roundup they prepare
for the pheasant season. which opens
the first sunday in October and ends
the following Sunday. Under the state
law, sportsmen figure that no ducks
v ould be hunted earlier than october
Is.
Winter weather sets in usually early
In December so that little duck hunt
ing is done during that month and the
state season. extending to January Ii
would be about half useless, they
pointed out. The federal Season in all
respects is more satisfactory. they say.

CULTIVATION AND RAINFALL

Cultivation of the soil in the semi
arid lands to the west and north
west does not increase the rainfall
in those regions that have hitherto
been inhosptable to man. This con-
clusion has been reached by the
weather bureau of the department of
agriculture which assigned its spe-
cialists to investigate this question.
Results of the Investigation are en-
bodied in a recent bulletin. In so
years there has been a great increase
in the area cultivated. If cultivated
fields produce precipitation there
should have been a steady rise in
the annual rainfall during half a
century, says the departments scien-
lists. On the contrary there have
been well defined but comparatively
short periods of increasing and de.
creasing precipitation On the great
western plains for twenty-five years,
from 1867 to 1892 inclusive, there
was an average rainfall of 1872 inches,
and from 1898 to 1917. 1874 inches.
The average over the southern
great plains during the first twenty
