Oil Of Catnip Is Effective
AS Lure For Mountain Lions

Employees and co-operators of the
Biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture killed 237
mountain lions in the Rocky noun
tain and Pacific coast states during
the year ended June 80, 1924. These
animals range over great areas, ap-
parently making more or less regular
rounds in pursuit of their prey. They
attack colts, calves, and sheep among
domestic animals, and also such big
game as deer elk, mountain sheep,
and mountain goats. Ordinarily they
are hunted with dogs and rifle, but
at times are successfully trapped and
poisoned.
Oil of catnip has been recommended
by the Biological survey for some
time past as lure for mountain lions
1t has proved SO effective that ar
engagements have been made to obtain
an additional supply from this years
crop. One herder in Arizona, after
having 80 sheep killed in one night
by mountain lion, put out poison
according to instructions, and the fol-
lowing day found the offender dead
Seventy-seven mountain lions were
destroyed during the year in Arizona
by federal and cooperative hunters.
An indication of what has been ac-
complished in Montana may be seen
in the fact that one of the experienced
hunters in that state made a snow
shoe trip of 400 miles and secured
only one adult lion where two years
before he took %. Similar scarcity of
these animals is reported from other
parts of Montana, and, as one result,
there are larger herds of deer.

IN, Christmas Land is not SO far.
~ It's Just across the hall.
Dithin the living room
Dhere holly decks the nall
RIGHT in the middle stands tree
Dith crimson tinsel qau.
And strange and woudrous is the fruii
1t bears on Christmas day.
An apple and an orange qrow
Upon the same green bouqh,
A wagon and rocking horse.
A sled aud spotted cow;
And nuts and sparkling sugar plumA
And drums and skates and horns
And dolls Nth flaxen tresses drop
Like pearls on windu morus,
But only little bous and girls
That alwaus mind at school
And know their daily lessons well
And try to keep each rule.
And sau their prayers everu night.
Can hope to join the band
Of happy children round the tree
That qrows in Christmas Land.

DAVIS BACKS UP
BRYAN'S STAND
ON MOBILIZATION

NEW YORK, July 31.--John W.
Davis, speaking as standard bearer
of the Democratic party, today gave
full support to Charles w. BRYAN s
stand ON Mobilization Day.
Issuing a formal statement to cor
rect printed intimations he was in
disagreement with his rumnine mate
on the question of engaging in Il
military demonstration during Sep
tember, Davis said:
son the contrary, think that
the view expressed by the governor
of Nebraska is entirely sound. "
>s Previously Davis associates had
indicated he might not embroil him
self in what seemed to be an ex-
traLeous question growing out of the
issue raised by Bryan when, as exc
cutive of his state, he refused to
endorse unqualifiedlv President
Coolidge 5 program for civilian
mobilization drill. When the Demo
cratic nominee found, however, that
his silence was being taken as, in
dicative of his embarrassment at
Bryan S stand, he promptly correct
ed the view.
am surprised at the statement
which | see in the press to the eff
feet that am i'll disagreement with
him or that his action has in any
way proven an embarrassment to
me, - Davis said.
Ion the contrary, l think that
the view expressed by the governor
of Nebraska to the effect that there
is no necessity at this time to en-
courage civilians to leave their oc
eupations for the purpose of cngag-
ing in what would only be u mili-
tary demonstra ton without any
practical educational effect, is en-.
tirely sound. -
