RADIO SET FOR
BED BOUND VETERANS

To bring Christmas cheer and all
the-time cheer to every disabled vet
eran confined in the U. S. Veterans
Hospital and the Thomas Hospital,
in Minneapolis, a plan has been work
ed out whereby a radio set will be
provided for every room in these
hospitals.
This splendid idea originated with
John E. Benson, a vocational student
who, as a victim of gas, spent many
long weary months shut up in a
hospital.
At the Dunwoody Industrial In
s%titute, where many disabled men
are taking vocational training, it was
found that through strict economy
in materials, Standardization, and
the three-fold cooperation of radio
dealers, Dunwoody, and the men in
training, crystal sets could be turned
out, in quantities, for four dollars
each, including the head phone.
The money was raised by voluntary
contributions from many sources, and
the sets were made by disabled vet
Grams who worked after school rours
and on Saturdays in order that their
'buddies" might enjoy the outside
world of music, speeches, and cur
rent news that is broadcasted from
the radio stations in the Twin Cities.
The doctors at the hospitals agree
great aid to morale and physical
that the few already installed are a
pleasure to the boys.

of their war experiences, have been
traind into a new line which they can
follow efficiently despite their war
handicap.
According to Mr.. G. D. Hibbard,
District Manager Of the Veterans
Bureau headquarters at Minneapolis,
virtually all these 1896 "rehabili
tated" men have found employment
at wages better than they were able
to earn in pre-war days. The men are
not now regarded as disabled men,"
but "skilled veterans" by employers
who have reported their services as
satisfactory from an efficiency stand
point.
Despite all the criticism of the
treatment accorded disabled veterans
of the world war by the Federal
Government, there is a very good
reason to believe the Government,
after all, has a splendid record of
accomplishment as far as the war
disabled are concerned. "The Gov
ernment,o Mr.. Hubbard stated, "has
made vigorous efforts to contact all
disabled men. Instead of an atti-
tude of Indifference, the Veterans
Bureau has persistently sought out
with possible claims and through
all forms of publicity has urged that
they take advantage of benefits pro-
vided by recent legislation.
"The number of vocational gradu-
ates in District Ten, 1896, reflects
but a small part of the work done.
Thousands more are now in the
course of training along hundreds of
lines, ranging from shoe repairer to
professional courses as Law, Engi-
neering and other college courses.
irresponsible criticism cannot stand
IN the face of the achievements of
The Government in behalf of its war
charges

JACK RABBITS MENACE
ROOSEVELT COUNTY

Jack Rabbit control is cheap and
very successful according to recent
demonstrations conducted in Valley
county by farmers in neighborhoods
where rabbits were becoming a great
menace. These directions were used
to clean up several communities at
a very small cost: One ounce of
strychnine sulphate dissolved in two
gallons of warm water. Take a half
bundle of green sheaf oats and dip
the heads into the solution of warm
water and strychnine sulphate for at
least two hours. Hang the bundles
up heads down by the use of a try
pod made of three fence posts or
long sticks. Tripods to be placed
where the rabbits have their evening
parties. If no green sheaves of oats
are available a sheaf or rye, wheat
or alfalfa will do the work. If strych-
nine sulphate is not available the
s~trychnine alcohol Dissolved in one
quart of vinegar and seven quarts
of warm water will do. Three such
sheaves should eradicate all rabbits
around any farm.
This poison is very dangerous to
stock of all kinds and therefore it is
that care be taken to keep
all poisoned material away from chill
dren, livestock and irresponsible
In putting out the poison it
should be put where live stock cannot
get it.
