"The Covered Wagon"
Pestiferous Jack Rabbits
 Yield Profits After Demise

CORDOVA, Alaska, Mar. 24.- (AP).-Washingt and other states of the Union might profit from the jack rabbit pest if they killed the animals, powdered the meat and sold it to Alaska fox farmers for sum- mer feed, in the opinion of J. Will iamson, owner of the largest fox farm along the Russian river on the Kenai peninsula.
 slaughtered by Williamson last winter. The meat was ground, plac- was dried, and then pulverized and stored in sacks
 The rabbit powder was mixed with water and vegetables, boiled and served to foxes during the summer making an agreeable change of diet from fish and porcupine.
 Another form of preserving the meat is to pack it when fresh into five gallon oil cans. About 35 rab bits are put into one can. Water is poured over the meat and the can set outdoors until it's contents freeze The can is then thawed loose and removed from the block containing the meat. The block is stored in ice houses that prevent it thawing un- til feeding time in summer.

This is picturization ot Emerson Hough's new novel of the same name. and it is said to be one oi the greatest photoplays ever seen or the screen
 The features embraced in this story are many and varied and include among others, the start of $50 covered wagons from Westport Landing, now Kansas City, in 1S4S. The terrors of fording freshet rivers, prairie fires and the like are depicted with great real ism. A buffalo hunt is one of the most exciting scenes. Old Ft. Brid. ger, with a night attack and fight by day with Indians, is shown. The di- yiding of the trails to Oregon and Cal 1fornia at old Fort Hall, touch of the gold fever in California, magnificent mountains and a culmination of the romance with the establishment of one of the first homesteads in Oregon these are all incidents in a picture that bristles with big scenes.
 Such historical characters as Kit Carson, Jim Bridger and Bill Jackson, scouts and typical western characters, are portrayed in the Paramount screen version of the novel, which is conced- ed to be one of the most notable liter ary achievements of the present de- cade.
 The various roles are in the hands of well known screen players. The leading man is J. Warren Kerrigan,

CLOSER WATCH ON EGGS.

Egg dealers VINO are not certain as
10 the freshness of their eggs should
candle them before shipment, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which is planning a close watch
over eggs shipped into interstate COM
merce during the warm Spring and
summer months. Under the provi-
sions of the Federal food and drugs
act eggs with yolks stuck to the shell
moldy eggs, black spots, mixed spots
and black rots are classified as adul-
terated.
Investigations have shown that it is
commercially practicable by Gambling
to eliminate the eggs liable to be
graded as adulterated. The dealer
who candles his eggs before shipment
runs little risk of violating the law or
of having his eggs rejected at desti-
nation.
