Within the house the living room at
once commands attention and ad-
uiration. Measuring l2x28 feet, with
seven windows giving light and ar
from three directions, a log-burning
fireplace and an attractive stairway In
the rear and to the right, this room
is truly exceptional in dWelilng OF

larger proportions 1t offers decorator
and hostess rare opportunity for the
display of talent.

Mr.. Hertz made known today
some Of the griefs of one who owns

cidentally made known for the first
time that Reign Count very nearly
failed TO start becau use of an injury
two days before the race. 1t was a
slight cut above the hoof on the
right foreleg.
We discussed the question Of
whether we should tell the public
of the mishap," he said. IF we
announced the injury. the betting
odds would so up. Then, should he
win. folks would have said. they
wanted to increase the odds, so
they sent out false story
On the contrary, if Reign Count
lost they would say we were maxi

Ben Mitchell. the trainer and
Hertz were the only ones who knew
of the injury.
II don't want to own another

The knowledge that hundreds c..
thousands of persons are betting on
your horst, and the realization that
many OF a score of things may pre-
vent his winning, takes the Joy out

Airplane Hunters Now
Coping With Coyotes

determination Of the coyote is
step nearer through the agency Of
the airplane.
Airplane hunting Of coyotes has
been taken up by two pilots. Clyde
Ice of Rapid City, S. D.. and DR.. r.
J. Rutten Of Langdon, N. D. Ice has
bagged II Of the animals in three
months and claims that he can dis
pose of thousand next winter.
The airplane, according to Ice, is
the best means of Kidding the coun-
try of the coyote and saving farm
ers thousands of dollars in livestock
losses. The coyote may not be sue
cessfully trapped for he is wary of
man-handled contraptions. Since he
hunts at night. the rifle is prac-
tically useless against him. Poison
he will not take.
Both Ice and Rutten use shotguns
with large shot charges. Both hunt
ers found their greatest difficulty in
following" the coyote with their
shots. since the plane moves faster
than the coyote.
