CALIFORNIA CLIMATE
RETURNS AGAIN

Travellers from the east tell of
snow-bound towns, broken down
telephone lines and a deep layer
of snow everywhere. The storm
two weeks ago just grazed us and
brought little of the fluffy white
material. However old sol has
quickly dispatched it oceanward
and continues to smile gracefully
upon Western South Dakota.
Roads are excellent and but here
and there is speck of mud or
snow to be found. Travellers
from the west however say that
the footing is not so good from
the Cheyenne river towards Rapid
City where mud and snow alter
nate.

the Characteristic howl Of the de-

a reminiscence Of the old timer.
The federal government has out
hunters after his pelt. who salar-

calls for stomach poison and acts
within twenty minutes to an hour.
Private hunters have different
formula for their bait. Their.
most effective way of getting the
valuable pelt is a mouth bait. If.
skillfully prepared the coyote will
eat it and within one to four min
utes he is on his way to the para
disc Of his fathers. In we'll pro-

elevation to the cabinet point with
pride to his long service in the
House; the experience and knowledge
he gained as chairman of the House

assistant land commissioner during

nothing to indicate that Secretary
Work intends to leave the cabinet on
March 4. He has given no assurance
of this. 1t has been said by friends

he did not care to remain in public
life. But this was contradicted a few
days ago by Senator Phipps of Colo
RADIO, the home State of Secretary
Work, and close friend of the latter,
who announced. after a brief talk
with the President, that the Secre-
tary had no idea of leaving the cabi-
net, and that he could remain
throughout the Coolidge administra-
