Magpies Do Much
Damage To Poultry

There has been a great deal of
for complaint in the loss of stock
and poultry by magpies, they being
particularly harmful during the
Matching season of poultry, and dur
ing the fly season for livestock. To
combat this animal loss special in
formation has been received from
the Biological Survey regarding the
control of these parasites, %instruc-
tions which briefly are as follows
have been found to be very salts
factory: Bacon rinds carrying n
inch of fat, in which grooves have
been cut cross-wise make good bait.
About one-eighth ounce of strychn-
nine per square foot should be
sprinkled over the bacon rinds. Nail
the rinds to trees out of reach of
dogs. Remove the bats after their
p has been served so as to
prevent other useful birds from OBJ
tanning the poison.
Another good method is to pre-
pare a bait composed of one-half
tallow and one-half lard, using eight
ounces Of the mixture to one ounce
of strychnine. This mixture should
be heated until in liquid form and
then add the strychnine, stirring it
thoroughly and allowing it to cool.
Stir constantly until the mixture
hardens in order that the strychnine
NOV ha held in suspension. Place
nortions of this bait on tops of fence
posts, roofs or any other place where
magpies habitually perch. The bait
should be placed at night, thus CIV
ing the birds a chance to get at it
early in the morning. Try to keep
the dead and dying birds picked up
as much as possible, in order that
the survivors may not become sus-
picious.-D. B. Noble, County Agent.

facts. People are especially negli-
gent of this duty in connection with

Pay Up
6-Most important of all, keep
track of your expiration date, which
is always plainly printed on your
paper, and pay when due. Those to
whom this suggestion applies should
feel it especially encumbent upon
them to heed it if they are among
those complaining of the papers
lack of regularity. Many pay for
their paper promptly and it is sin
cerely appreciated, but there are
many others owing various amounts
who appear to expect the paper to
continue to come to them with no
obligation on their part. These. over
iue amounts equal a large sum in
he aggregate and because they are
not paid The Herald must pay in
crest on debts, often go without our
'wn pay and get along as best we

that it costs money to get out

The expense never lets up for a min

observed by patrons we will be
able to do and will do our part.

THE COUNTY SEAT is OURS

Wolf Point won a signal victory in the clean-cut, just
decision of Judge Horkan.

fetal inquiry into Poplars votes revealed Fl bad ones.

Poplar and its lawyers cannot get over, around, under or
through.
The Poplar gang may pursue its course in quest of re-
venge to the bitter end, feed its lawyers fat and squander
the funds of the county, but at last it must take it's medi-
cine.
Wolf Point now occupies a position of much greater
advantage than ever-both the voters and the court de-
clare it to be the permanent county seat. The voters will
not be denied. Wolf Point cannot be exhausted or dis
c%ouraged, but will fight with renewed determination and
is nothing more than was anticipated. Ultimately we will
win.

RichlandEThe weather has been
very mild, melting the snow of the
first part of the month. Frost has
gone out of the ground to a depth
of three inches. Conditions have
been very unfavorable for winter
wheat, with practically no covering
of snow and with alternate thawing
and freezing all winter. There is
relatively little range in the county
and livestock has been on feed since
the forepart of the winter and is
coming through in good condition.
About rs per cent of the hog crop

the statement Monday night that
"no official recognition can be given
to the passage of the senate resolu-
ton relative to their opinion con-
corning members of the cabinet or
other officers under executive con-
troll"
The executive declared he did not
propose to sacrifice "any innocent
man for my own welfare" nor retain
in Office "any unfit man for nv own
welfare"
"As soc as special council can
advise me as to the legality of these
oil leases and assemble for me the

A "PETITION' TO
HERALD'S PATRONS

The Herald has received numerous
and urgent requests that the paper
be gotten out in time to make the
Friday rural mails and the manage
ment is deeply sensible of the just
ice of the demand. 1t should be
done and it is the aim always to do
so. It is frankly admitted that part
of the time it has not been gotten
out in time for those mails. But it
is desired to call the attention of
u readers to the fact that numer-
Gus weeks the paper has failed to
reach some of its rural subscribers
through fault that was not ours. 1t
is known positively that the papers
have been left in the post office by
the rural carrier on certain occasions
through oversight. The irregularity
of the carriers schedules is also a
handicap in getting the paper to its
readers. The paper is received by
readers 400 miles distant before it
is by some only Is miles away.
A Big Job
Getting together the copy for the
matter that makes up a paper of the
size of The Herald is no light task,
but it can be accomplished with CO.
operation. There are others besides
the editors and printers who have
obligations in connection with the
making of a newspaper. It is quite
natural that the layman should not
appreciate the immense amount of
detail connected with the job each
week.
At the present time our shop force
is small compared to the amount of
work that has to be done to fill the
pages. It is necessarily small be-
cause the revenues of the business
do not warrant the employment of
any more people.
Cooperation Suggested
If the following suggestions con-
corning friendly cooperation are OBJ
served the management will positive
ly guarantee that nothing short of a
real disaster will prevent the paper
from reaching its readers by the
earliest mails following the date of
publication.
BE sure that your address is
right on list. If your paper is
delivered to you on a route let us
know. Possibly now it is put with
the city bundles.
2-Carriers see to it that they
have all their mail before they leave.
Examine the address on the
margin or wrapper Of your paper
and see if it is correct as to post
office box and all other particulars.
Prompt Copy
4-If you have news matter or
paid matter for insertion in the pa
per, get it in promptly. Long arti-
cles or large display ads should be in
this Office Wednesday noon. Page
or double page ads Tuesday noon.
This applies to copy for Dollar Day
displays. The reporter cannot write
news copy while he is chasing ad
copy. 1t is realized that rural cor
respondents cannot always get their
copy in at the time mentioned above.
If it is received by 300 o'clock on
Thursday it will be gladly received
and used that week. Correspondence
received later may have to be car
ried over. Brief news items, an
pouncements, or want ads, if neces-
sarily delayed, will be received on
Thursday morning.
Phone Us, Tell Us
5-Work with us in collecting the
news. Don't expect the reporters to
be mind readers. Dent expect US
to make a house to house canvass
each week in search Of items that
you could phone in in three minutes

ment assistance will be a general re-
funding and extension of existing
Indebtedness so that the farmer will
be given time to work out his future.
Meanwhile, Senate and house com
mittees are considering the Norbeck-
Burtness bill providing for federal
aid in promoting the Investigation
of agriculture in sections which have
heretofore been devoted primarily to
the production of wheat. The adj
ministration has endorsed this meas
ure and it will undoubtedly pass at
an early date.

The per cent decrease or increase

where the accelerated fall in the
death rate begins-with the advent
of prohibition in 1919. The average
annual fall in the rate from 1911 to
1918 is 1.6, while the average an

TANK BOSS TO
 CUT PAYROLL

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The New York Yankees who draw the highest aggre- gate pay of any clubs In the Major Leagues, will be turned down in their demands for higher pay than has been offered them in contracts for 1924. Col Jacob Rupert, owner of the team was quoted Dednesday as saying the hold outs would either have to accept the salaries offered. or remain idle.
 Hoyt, Shawkey, Jones and Pennock, star pitchers; Ward, second baseman; Scott. shortstop; Dusan, third baseman; Pipp, first baseman; and outfielders Witt and Meusel are said to have re- turned their contracts unsigned or not to have returned them at all. Joe Bush. the star of the pitching staff and Wal ter Schang. the ace catcher, also were discontented and received something of a concession from the club whereupon 1t was reported that they signed. In cluding Babe Ruth, whose contract runs until the end of next year. the Yankee team is said to have received $250 ,000 in salaries last year.
