the bonds and checks just prior to
election. Several veterans have in
formed me that in 1881 when they
could borrow one-half of their Ger
tificates, they received their checks
within weeks after the law was
enacted.
In the present case, If an ade-
quate force were employed, there is
no reason or excuse why the bonds
and checks should not go out by
early April. This money is said to
be available now and the checks
would certainly be appreciated by
many veterans.
Every one should write their Sem
atorS and Representatives and ask
them to use their influence in help
ing to expedite the distribution of
the bonds and checks, because this
delay is both unreasonable and I'M
necessary.

NEW WISDOM
BY HARRIET SCOTT OLINICK

From anguish born of bitterness
have come to peace;
Peace that is compound answer
ing to fear.
A benson at night; at dawn slow
cool release,
From frantic empty dreams the
lowered nights brought near
For have learned that love has
strange, uncanny ways;
That even if I hate your anger's
needless thrust,
I shall want you as long as nights
turn into days,
And love shall live triumphantly
though dreams rot in the
dust!

Probably the great majority of
the people, including stockholders
and employees of other utilities, will
be gratified at the probe into the
affairs of American Telephone and
Telegraph Co. by the Federal Com
munications Commission.
Other utilities have faced a
broadside of criticism, just and un-
just, with the result that in this
state rates on light and power, gas
and water have, in many cases, been
brought to fair levels. Not so with
the Bell system, however, where
there has been no reduction in
monthly rates, although the num-
Der of telephone employees has been
reduced as dial telephones have as
sumed their task.
Probably several reasons exist for

n crow but its mother.
At least. the State Conservatism
Department is working on this the
CRY, for it is giving cash money to
people who kill the greatest num-
Der in a month.
This crow control contest, now in
its third year, always starts New
Years Day and winds up May 81
1t takes crows just about that long
to figure out that something is
wrong, and to scatter out This,
of course, makes it hard for the
hunters, and they then sit around
and wait for another Jan. /.
During the last two years Virgil
M. Simmons, commissioner, esti-
mates hunting clubs have killed
more than 100000 crows. This year
5000 feet were turned in during
January and 1918 in February. The
March contest ends at noon Mon
day, and returns are to be made
public after that time.
These feet figures have to be di-
vided into two to. get the actual
crow casualty list.
| A RE the crows discouraged? Is
n their morale shattered? Well
hardly. They probably feel some re-
morse when they see their friends
shot up, but according to the Con-
servation Department, they con-
tinue to be their old offensive
selves.
Grows are unpopular because they
break up the homes of our other
feathered friends, and also because
they eat fruit and grain. Now it is
alleged they might even spread dis
eases and infections.
For these reasons price was put
on their heads. The department
distributes 1915 during the five
months the contest is in progress,
with the monthly awards of SIS di-
vided among the five clubs turning
in the most feet.
A NY GROUP sending 100 feet,
1 n whether it finished in the
money or not, is given live quail
or pheasant. This, it was explained,
is the current exchange rate on
crows feet.
Since the competition has been
speeded, Hoosier clubs employ a
complicated espionage system to
find crows. Late in the afternoon,
a spy goes into the woods and looks
for a crow. When he sees one, he
follows it back to its rookery.
Then all the members go out at
night, range themselves around the
roost and bang away. Sometimes
a stuffed owl is put on fence TO
attract these birds. Crows don't
like owls and they gather around to
start a fight. Meanwhile, the MIN
rods have loaded their pieces and
started shooting Often, hunters
say, wooden crow whistle will work
wonders in bringing the birds.
GROWS do not migrate, and al
~ ways can be killed easier in
winter and early spring than in
summer. During the hot months
they do not band together.
An innovation in crow hunting
has made it's appearance in illinois,
where hunters use dynamite. Dur
ing the day they string explosives
in the rookeries, and then touch the
whole thing off at night. Grow
traps, baited with meat, also are
used.
According to Marc Waggener, de-
partment publicity director, crow
killing contests now are being held
in several Midwestern states.
And the crows brought it all on
! themselves by their bad manners.

 Penalties Under Law
Bunker Hill Section Accused of Launching UnOfcaI'
 Independence Day Enthusiasm Police Cars Sent ! in Response to Complaints; Arrests May Result

Complaints from the Bunker Hill section that fireworks were being used prematllrely in the vicinity re- suited in Q stern warning by police today, calling attention to the pen- alty provided for the violation of the city ordinance concerning fire- works. With exceptions provided only for the use of firearms as an emergency measure or when legally permitted, the discharge of fire- works or their explosives in the city limits is strictly forbidden prior to July 4th.

 Police were sent to the Bunker Hill section twice within the past week as the result of complaints from residents, 1t was stated at headquarters this morning.

 In each case, authorities said, of- lenders were boys dlscharging tor- pedoes, powder-filled caps which ex- plode with considerable noise. This type of cap is regarded as particu- larly dangerous by authorities and has often resulted in injury when carelessly used. No arrests were made and the youngsters were warned not to repeat the offense.
 Ordinance Cited
 The ordinance concerning fire- works prohibits the discharge of both fireworks and firearms with the following exceptions: "The pro- hibition shall not apply to use of firearms by the military, sheriffs, police, or by persons in defense of themselves or their property, or by members of gun clubs in target practice, or by people engaged in target practice in shooting galleries, or engaged in hunting in conformi- ty with the statute laws; nor shall 1t prevent blasting by qualified persons"
 Fireworks of a specific type can be set off July 4th, but on no other day, the ordinance states. It per- mits the use of: "firecrackers not over two inches long and three eights inches in diameter and only such as contain comon black pow der without chlorate of potash or other high explosive; torpedoes not larger than three fourths of an inch in diameter; toy pistols explod- ing only flat paper caps; colored fire when not containing sulphur and chlorate of potash in @ mix ture; pin wheels, triangles, rosettes, flower pots, sparklers, set pieces not having explosive parts"
 Police said they had no corn- plaints from other sections of the city.
