PRAIRIE DOG NOTICE

At the last meeting OF the Delta
County Commissioners, the petitions
of land owners in the Paynes Mesa
and Rogers Mesa section for the
formation of Prairie Dog Pest Dis
tricts was approved. These applicat-
tions also have the approval of c.. P.
Gillette, State Entomologist. There
fore, we have now three organized
Prairie Dog Pest Districts in the
county.
No. l, known as the Tongue Greek
District, has been In operation for
two years and was undoubtedly the
worst infested section in the county.
The work in this district has been
very active and complete, consequent
ly the residents there are confident
that the pests will be completely
campaign.
The new districts recently approved
comprises the lands as described be-
low:
Pest District No. 2. Paynes Mesa:

attempted to make 1t perfectly
plain TO the applicants in these dis
tricts before any signatures were
cured that all lands in a pest district
must be poisoned thoroughly within
a specified time, preferably begin not
later than April 18th and completed
by May 5th. All lands infester that
are 80 treated by owner, will be
poisoned by the County. the cost of
some becomes a lien on the property
and collectable as taxes by the County
! Treasurer
The ideal time for beginning this
work is April 1st At that time
practically all dogs are out of their
winter quarters; there are less
storms. high winds and the ground is
dry. Weather conditions should be
such that all the dogs are active
throughout the day. Contrary to the
prevailing idea. early poisoning is not
the best practice, frequent SHOWS and
moisture fall on the poisoned grain,
washes the poison off and renders the
bait harmless to the rodents.
The amount OF grain to be used is
about one teaspoonful. or what may
be picked up between the four fingers
and the thumb. The grain should be
thrown against a hard surface OF the
ground, on the outside of the burrow,
about a foot from the opening. never
down the burrow.
The first time over the ground Il is
very important that every burrow be
treated. regardless of whether It
shows signs OF being inhabited or not.
On going over the ground the second
time, IT is only necessary to treat the
burrows that show signs OF life, but
the time between the first treatment
and the second should be at least two
weeks

busy, is nothing more than is attained
in these days in club and lodge life.
That educational and cultural influen-
ces and social life are advanced is
nothing more than is done by worldly
institutions. The question is: Are
men and women born again and hap
tized with the Holy Ghost?" When
this is not the case there is no real
church-the called out-of God.
This is the test we desire applied to
our church.

10 PER CENT OF ILLINOIS
FARMERS HAVE RADIOS

According to an editorial writer
in Farm Life about 10 per cent of
the farmers of Illinois have installed
receiving sets in their homes. The
figures are shown by a survey just
made by the Illinois Agricultural
Association, and the same con-
titions probably prevail in other
States. One county reports four
receiving sets in schoolhouses and
country churches.
'where there is a rural CON-
munity club the radio Is put in
sooner or later as matter of
course. The Illinois survey is val
liable in that it reveals what the
farmers like. Plenty of jazz music
and talks short and to the point,
SAYS the survey, and it emphasizes
the fact that 1t is as easy to tune
out a tiresome speech as It is to
tune 1t in.
Another suggestion Is made to
broadcasting stations which feature
farm programs. Make them cary
in the evening. The 10 o'clock pro-
gram is too late for the folks who
get up early in the morning, and
do a long days work. Broad.
casters should also keep away from
propaganda"

part is that it is all done in Eng

BrOadcasting Plays.
Some interesting sidelights have
come from Schenectady where the
art of broadcasting plays has been
developed to- a science. The sue
cessful transmission of a dramatic
production by radio is of course de.
pendent upon sound properties. Two
of the most frequently used sound
properties used at Schenectady are
the door and the bell board.
The bell board consists of con
venient arrangement of five bells
of different tones andN buzzer.
There is a door bell, telephone
bell, an alarm bell and clock
chime. The door is one of the pc
culiar conventions of radio drama
Whereas in the home, a softly clos
ing door is considered desirable, il
| is quite important in the radio drama
that the sound Of the door and the
clicking of the lock be loud enough
to actuate the microphone.
Looking Ahead.

gress of the D. A. r. will be broad

Extension Association Will
Meet This Month to Dis

Lying in bed and listening to
that 8 o'clock lecture Monday morn

dream, il prediction made by
Allyn G. Smith, chairman of the
University of California's extension
division, comes true. The amazing
strides made in this science has
prompted the suggestion that there
be established "Air Universities
where classes could be broadcast.
With this idea in view, the Ma
tional Extension Association will
meet at Madison, Wisconsin, begin
ming April IA. Mr.. Smith, 1mem-
Der of the associations educational
radio broadcasting committee, is
gathering statistics on this phase
of broadcasting. The committee
will meet within the next few days
to consider the recommendations
they will submit to the association.
Eighty licenses to broadcast have
been granted to educational institu-
tons so far. Among those already
active in this sort of extension
work are: The University of Cali.

zation to develop the entertainment
programs which have been part of
the stations activities in the past.
The technical expert in charge Of
the station is Carl J. Meyers, radio
engineer, and a member of the El-
gin post Of the Legion.
The station itself is located about
four miles east of Elgin, but broad
casting is done from Chicago over a
telephone wire, the longest for the
purpose in the world. Programs
have been heard in Cuba, San Sal
vador, Mexico and Canada, as well
as from all parts of the United
States. The first Legion radio ad
dress was made by National Com
mander John r. Quinn at the formal
opening of the Legion's official
broadcasting station. Within a few
minutes of the opening of his talk
he received a telegram of congratu-
lation from Birmingham, Ala. He
was kept busy during his visit at
the station after he had stopped
speaking answering telephone and

PASSION PLAY.
TO Be SENT
BY RADIO
WcAP Will Broadcast "Hoiy
City" Performance of st.
Patrick Players.

1.-THE Holy City," Passion Play
with which the st. Patrick Players
have been entertaining large crowds
nightly at the President Theater,
will be broadcast from the stage on
Friday night for the benefit of
Washington radio enthusiasts.
This play by Clarence Bennett,
while, Of course. Biblical in theme,
tells the story of the passion and
death of the Saviour in a genuinely
dramatic way, and one that has
well sustained and interesting
| dialogue from the opening scene to
the Resurrection tabaleaux at the
| finale.
The broadcasting over WCAP is
made possible through the co-opera-
ton of William Pearson and Stuart
Hayes, of the telephone company,
with the Rev. r. j. Hurney, Of st.
Patrick's Church, director general
Of the Passion Play.
Father Hurney was one Of the
earliest, and is still one OF the
most enthusiastic fans of the ether
wave. He is the guiding genius of
| the st. Patrick Players, and many
of the talented members of this or
| ganization have already revealed
| their talents over the microphone.
AS this is the most pretentious
drama ever attempted by these local
! thespians, the reverend director
| was anxious that the radio en-
| thusiasts Of Washington should
have a chance to hear what talented
| amateurs could do when handling
a really big production.
| incidentally the whole question
| of radio and the theater is still an
open one with the playhouse man
ayers. There are many who con-
tend that broadcasting Injuries the
| box office sale and that patrons
who might otherwise come to the
theaters are content with what is
| caught on the air.
| On the negative on this PROPOSE
| ton is William A. Brady who feels
that much of the great business
which his show up She Goes did
| in Boston was attributed to the
thousands who heard the musical
comedy broadcast from the Shep-
herd stores station. Another man
ager who is strong for radio broad
| casting for professional entertainers
| y
the radio with much of the box
| office d2aw for the Isreal Zangwill
play, 1--WE Moderns" in Chicago, to
the interest aroused by wireless.
To offset this is the experience
OF Earl Carroll in Washington. He
broadcast the "Vanities'' and those
! who heard the first act will recall
it was highly entertaining. Never
! theless the box office statements
failed to prove that it drew many
patrons to the National Theater.
Broadcasting of THE Passion
/ Play will be the first attempt in
Washington at sending a purely
spoken drama over the radio. There
is incidental music in 1.-THE Holy
City, sung by the Glee Club of
Catholic University that is said to
add much to the enjoyment Of the
production.
Father Hurney is not one of
those who are pessimistic on the
results Of such broadcasting. He
realizes its publicity value and feels
that the radio is destined to be
the greatest agency for amusement
in the entire world and that within
a very short time.

Commissioner Enright Seeks
Appropriation to Carry
Out Plans.

Commissioner Richard e. Enright
of the New York Police Department
is making every effort to secure an
appropriation OF $4,000 from the
Board Of Estimates to be used to
equip the city police force with 9
radio station.
The commissioner is well aware Of
the assistance that radio can render
in the prevention and detection OF
crime, and the police Of New York
already have and still are expert
menting with it in this respect. 1t
Is understood that the present radio
plant at police headquarters, which
is the property Of the Western Elec.
trio Company, will be purchased
should the appropriation he ap.
proved.
Tells of Uses
Discussing some of the uses to
which the police department could
put radio, Commissioner Enrlght
said: THE criminal today travels
very quickly. Formerly he Travelled
on foot and in the street cars, but
today he uses high-powered auto.
mobiles. In order to cope with the
situation we must always be one
step ahead of him. Speed is essen
tial to the prevention and eAmina
ton OF crime. The speed with
which information to police in Other
cities could be broadcast would
make it almost impossible for crimi
nails to escape.
while the telephone has proved
invaluable in disseminating informa
ton about criminals and robberies
it has disadvantages which could b.
eliminated by radio. Ny plan would
be to place the radio in about fit!
strategic positions throughout thu
city-at the ferries, the bridges ant
the points leading from the city
In this way, when a crime wal
committed, word could be broad
cast Immediately to these station!
and sufficient information given t
the police at all the points of escape
to enable them to apprehend thu
criminals.
Sets on Beats
after this l would equip the
various stations with sets and pos
sibly install sets on the differen'
beats" so that patrolmen could
keep in touch with headquarters a;
they now do by telephone.
There are various other ways II
which radio could be used. For ex
ample, new traffic regulations colIlt
be broadcast. 1t is surprising how
/ long it takes some people to become
familiar with new traffic rulings
II these were broadcast for vetl
in advance the public would b.
thoroughly familiar with them be
fore they went into effect.
Reach VacatiOnists
1--WE could also radiate certain in
formation to people who are leaving
the city on vacations. Invariably
when people go away they draw
their blinds and board up theil
doorways, telling the criminals IL
very plain language that they arr
going away and probably Will mo-
be back for some time. Instructions
as to what to do when going away
could be sent out, and we could
also warn these people to forward
thier new addresses to police head
quarters or to leave the names ant
addresses of people with us through
whom they could be reached.
During a snowstorm word coulr
also be broadcast that IL the walks
| in front of houses were not cleared
summons would be issued.
