Start War Against
/" Destructive Birds

After the meeting Thursday night
at the city hall lat which Mr.. Hulit,
working in Idaho in the interest of
securing wild game preserve for
This state, spoke, the question of the
destruction of the maybe came up
between some of the gentlemen who
had attended the meeting and it was
shown that the maybe is very de-
structive bird, doing much harm in
the way of robbing the nests of game
birds and following up to kill the
young, to say nothing of the loss
caused by robbing domestic hen
nests.
1t was suggested that poisoning
campaign be conducted to kill the
magpies but there is more or less
dissatisfaction about using poison
on the farms because it so often re-
suits in the killing of valuable dog
or other animal.
G.. L. Brawley offered an idea for
poisoning that he had seen worked
OFT and it might be tried in this To-
cality with good results. A slice Of
bacon rind few inches wide is cut
off leaving about half an inch of fat
on the rind. The fat is then cut thru
to the rind in strips lengthwise and
crosswise about quarter of an inch
wide so it appears as little cube
shaped nobs. Powdered strychnine
is then worked we'll into the fat by
rubbing and thus it is that the bait
is prepared. The piece of poisoned
meat can be nailed onto a high post,
out of the reach of animals and as
soon as the maybe swallows one of
the little poison nobs, which has
been loosened by the rubbing. and
gives away readily, it is the last Of
him.
After the bait is all gone the rind
can be burned and in that way there
is little or no danger of anything
save the maybe being destroyed.

for 1.-THE good of the service. 1t
is not that the mail driver is any bet
ter than others, but he works on a
schedule for the good of the patrons
of the line, and they want the mail
on time, the same as the driver
wants to do his work in regular
hours and get back to make his de-
liveries in time to catch outgoing
trains for the good of the service.
The driver on route three, Blackfoot,
reports that last week lie was barred
from mail boxes in six different
places in eight miles, by vehicles
standing before the mail boxes, the
drivers ignoring his approach. For
each delay like that, of say, two
minutes, some other persons up the
line are watching and waiting longer
because they have to meet the driver
for some special transaction, and
each delay is asloss to them and re-
duces the efficiency of the service.

Cause of Accidents

The man who has his mail box on
the left side of the road, makes the
carrier cross the road, and that in
itself is no objection if it is at some
distance from other boxes, but just
when he starts to cross the road
some passing car may bump him, for
neither driver knew of the move
ments the other was about to make.
The car driver saw plenty of room
to pass and makes the rush. The
mail driver knew not that the car
was coming and started his curve to
the left side of the road unexpected
to the driver of the car. These acct
dents keep happening all because
some fellow keeps his mail box on
the left side of the road against the
advice and requests of the depart
ment of mails.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-01-13
Boxes of Money

A person desiring to buy stamps
must place his money in some kind
of a container, such as an envelope
or the lid of fruit jar or anything
that will enable the carrier to pick
it up and dump it into his palm. He
should not have to gather up loose
coins from the bottom of the mail
box. His fingers get cold and it
makes loss of time for him that is
not necessary. If the owner of the
box puts coins loose in it and indi-
Gates that he wants to invest it in
stamps, he is not conforming to the
rules, and the carrier is not bound to
pay any attention to it. People
should not buy their stamps in small
quantities at frequent intervals. 1t
S all right to make small purchase
of stamps if that is all one expects
to use for some time, but people who
habitually use stamps and habitually
buy only enough to last a few days,
are requested to buy in larger
quantities and not bother the carrier
so often with these purchases. 1t is
Just as much trouble for him to sell
one stamp as it is to sell 100 and If
people will buy stamps in quantity
they will thereby improve the SER
vice by making it possible to keep
nearer to the schedule.
Where to Shovel Snow
People whose mail boxes are
where the snow drifts in about them
are expected to remove the snow or
locate the box where it will not
lodge. If the ground is not graded
properly that should be done at the
first opportunity. Boxes that are too
low are apt to be disturbed by COWS
rubbing them, so it is worse to have
boxes too low than too high.
Who Improves the Service?
The quality of the mail service on
given route is regulated about as
much by the patrons as by the car
rier. Their combined efforts help or
haIhper him to such an extent that
he is powerless to overcome the OBJ

ferent places. If they make every
thing convenient for him and he is
A diligent and careful carrier the
service will be good. People who
have not considered these things
have often found fault with the ser
vice without knowing how much of
it was their own fault or lay in their
own power to control. Carriers have
assured us that in years gone by |
when we have passed information
to the patrons of the routes that peo-
pie have usually responded with re-
pairs and improvements -that--were |
very gratifying. We suggest that all
patrons of the routes shall consider
what they can do now to make the
cath of the carrier smooth and save
him removing his nit these cold
lays where it is not necessary. The
,arriers are not asking to have hot
pies put in the mail boxes addressed
o them, but they do like to get home
'or supper on time, after being out
II the cold all day.

developed land of the state. In
the course of his conversation with
a Milwaukee Journal reporter, he
said:
"What strikes me as the most
promising important single develop
ment to foster in Wisconsin is to
bring our great virgin estate Of TO-
100000 acres in northern Wisconsin
under cultivation. Partly through the
use of the farm loan system with
proper adaptations, partly through
other federal aid and partly through
the organization of local colonizing
communities, this great region should
as soon as possible, be made to con-
tribute it's due part to the population
and wealth of the state.
"Out of this area at least 10000
acres are land of the highst fertility
The rest can be used as continuous
forest reserve. This development
greatly interests me, and l expect to
devote special attention to it in the
future / would also maintain in
favor of people of Wisconsin the op
portunity of easily acquiring land for
settlement, which is an essential ele
ment in a proper social system -

And do just as they bid"
The voter listened to the pledge
Made by the candidate;

81 likei to think of Washington
AS waiting to receive ~
Word from the senate what to do,
To say and to believe.

That man obedient;
Of Lincoln, who for guidance wise
Unto his senate went.

Who will due circumspection use'
No senate boss to jar.

On his own thought or choice;

shortage just that much, and they
are clearly entitled to the champion
ship in that respect as public bene-
factors.

Section 1922 of the Wisconsin
Statutes, laws of. 1919, provides that;
mo person shall carry with him in
any vehicle, any gun or rife unless
the same is unloaded, and knocked
down or enclosed within a carrying
case.''
Some local people seem to think
this law does not apply to them or
else they are acting in open defiance
to the law. It is conceded by sports
men to be one of the best laws we
have on the statutes and those who
know the destruction done to our
partridge by the automobile should
be more than willing to live up to it.
Those who carry their guns openly
invariably claim they would not kill
a partridge under any condition but
there is doubt in the minds of the
people who observe their actions.
If local people expect non-residents
and down state hunters to live up to
this law they must observe it them
selves.
| want it understood that home
hunters are not exempt and in the
future the law will be Vigorously en-
forced even if it necessary to call
for outside assistance.
