POISON GETS THE JACKS

Theo. Goedert, a farmer living Is
miles north of Brockton, recently
tried the jackrabbit formula, recent.
ly recommended by the Extension ser
vice. He stated that he took two
small bundles of green oats, used
fifty cents worth of strychnine sui
plate and water according to the
formula, hung out the bundles as
directed in the night, only where stock
could not get. them and after two
nights he counted II dead rabbits
within a radius of a quarter of a
mile from the two bundles of pois-
oned oats. He said further that be-
fore he put out the poison the rab-
bits were like a bunch of sheep
around his place, but since that time
they were very scarce. He believes
that this will be another method of
coyotes as he thinks the coy
ote will eat the poisoned rabbits. He
said that the best time to put out
poison was when the nov is on
the ground. D. B. Noble, Co. Agt.

A LETTER FROM INA

Dear Aunt Mary:
This is to let you know that l am
about ready to begin my spring house
cleaning. AS l was looking over my
pantry shelves | found that nearly
all my Watkins extracts and spices
were getting low. I do hope the Wat

I am out of so many of his products.
If you have not bought your spices
and extracts wait for him, as it is
time for him to canvass the town

Did you ever try his furniture pol
ish? Oh, boy, it's swell, and his
washing compound is sure death to
dirt.
Yours,
sgt Ina Wisebuyer.

 Mans Attack on Gorsas Sale |.

 Rofuses to Comment.
 MT. Weeks. prior to the cabinet meeting. refused all requests for eom- ment on the statement in which Mir, Ford declared that political influence working through the war secretary had prevented him from obtaining the Muscle Shoals properties and would continue ot prevent his aeaui' aition of the Alabama plant.
 officials close to MT. Weeks indi- ested that he resented the statement Of the Detroit manufacturer and con- sidered 1t sufficiently grave to take up directly with the president.
 Coolidge Approves.
 Mir. Coolidge is known to be thor oughly in accord with the action taken by the war department in soll- ing tho Gorgas plant to the Alabama Power Co. for s3.472.ts7. The posi- ton of the president as 1t has been stated at the White House is that Mir. Ford be given every opportunity to buy and lease the Muscle Shoals properties and that his offer. still be- fore congress. has not been affected by the salc of tho Gorgas project.
 Plant Not Essential.
 Mir. Coolidge after the recent sale of tho GorGas plant told visitors that tho government. did not regard the plant as essential to the purposes which Mir. Ford stated he had in view in acquiring Muscle Shoals. As the president put it, the administration feels that tho Gorgas plant bore about tho same relation to Muscle Shoals as tho stem does to an apple after the fruit has fallen from the tree.
 : Still Up to Congress. Administration officials, including tho president, have asserted that MT. Ford could build an auxiliary steam plant for less than the three and one half million dollars represented in the Gorgas plant sale which sum it has been announced would be credited to Mir. Ford on his $5.o00,000 bid for the entire property. The view of the ad- mnistration is that the Ford offer still is before congress and that body must determine the matter.
