to import any one. The niger

the janitor used the remains to
kindlc the fire next morning. The

SPECIALIZE ON CHINCH BUGS
Particular Reason Why Farmers
Should Act to Protect the Bob
white Quail From Hunters

Every shot fired this season at the
bobwhites that are winterlng In your
fields is Il shot at your pocketbook,
says Farm and Ranch Qunils de-
stroy millions of alternating bugs that
would otherwise awake In the spring
to fall hunsrily upon the product Of
field and garden.
while you fight the chinch bug.
redouble your efforts to increase bob
white quails," says A. G. Burill Of
the Missouri College of Agriculture.
They are Sa!. to eat from 500 to
1000 chincbes at meal, and their
stomuchs crave another meal every
two hours. At least, this is the usual
rate of digestion in most insect.cating
birds. Quails are the only wild birds
which specialize on chinch bugs in tile
winter season."
To protect the bobwhlte the most
effective plan is for several farmers
comparatively to publish notice in
the county papers forblddng hunters
to shoot Quails on their premises.
This has been done successfully In
several Missouri communities. Many
county papers are running such no
tees properly drawn up by lawyer
und kept standing in the paper
throughout the hunting season. In
such cases the publishers will add the
name of any farmer In the county and
keep 1t there for say, so cents for the
season.
Protect the qunils; they will fight
your bug battles for you--wlnter and
summer.-Our Dumb Animals.

BODINE UPHOLDS RULUING
ON CLOSING SALOONS

TRENTON, Oct. 10:-Federal
Judge Joseph L. Bodine, in the dis
trict court here today, upheld the
right of the federal government to
close saloons of New Jersey when
thew are found violating the Vol
stead act, by declaring them COM
mon nuisances. Judge Bodine today
denied a motion by Merritt Lane,
counsel for Charles Reinking and
Maria Reinking. of the Grand Hotel,
$50 and 234 Hudson street. HOBO
ken, to have the governments bill
of complaint adjudging the hotel a
common nuisance stricken out on
the ground that a court of equity
had not power to punish for a
crime.
Counsel argued that the common
nuisance" clause of the Volstead act
confers upon courts of equity the
power to furnish for the commission
of a crime and that congress was
without power to confer such juris-
dicton upon equity courts.
Judge Bodine. in multiplying this
argument, declared that congress
has the power to declare what con-
a nuisance and that courts
of equity can enjoin a nuisance.
It was also asserted that n cour
was merely restraining an act which
might If permitted be a matter
for indictment. -
