western America contained enough
game to feed the world for eternity
and America believed him. II the pas
senger pigeons had been left unIno-
Tested even for a short period during
the nesting period they might have
had a chance for survival; but as it
was the young birds, caught before
they could fly. were considered an es-
pecial delicacy and so the hunt went
on with renewed diligence during the
nesting months. Diamond Jim Brady
and Lillian Russell had made young
pigeon a fashionable dish In the east,
so everybody else wanted squad too.
Trees containing scores Of nests were
cut down so that hunters might OBJ
went through the woods with long
poles with which to knock the nest
ltngs TO the ground.
More Ruthless Methods
AS the market for pigeons increased
the hunting methods became even
more ruthless and cruel Bird nets
were spread. and for decoys live birds
with their eyelids sewn together were
fastened in the trees; and the Tapping
Of their wings enticed other birds
down TO their doom IN the nets. BY
1890 the once immense flocks were
greatly depleted and more than 5000
men found regular employment in
pigeon hunting. In three years q NIL
lion pigeons were shipped from middle
west markets to New York city. Thou
sands Of birds were also shipped alive
for use In target shooting. A few
naturalists and bird lovers raised their
voices in protest and to pass legisla-
ton, but most people thought the
pigeons were so plentiful that they
could not be exterminated
BY 1900 the passenger pigeon was
almost q thing Of the past. The last
wild pigeon of which there IS certain
record was killed in April, 1904. Thc
very last passenger pigeon, that one
which died in the Cincinnati roo Ia
1914, was a member Of the flock which
had been captive in the ZOO This bird,
may be seen IN the national
at Washington, d. @. Occa-
sionally there are reports Of passenger
pigeons having been seen at this place
and that In the United States, but the
reports are never true. The mourning
dove. Of which Montana stiIl has
many, is mistaken for its cousin, the
passenger pigeon.

MN Kid Issues Communique
In New Range Riders War"

For the benefit of those who tuned
In late-to borrow a phrase from the
radio announcerS - comparative quiet
reigns in the latest range riders
war" In Montana, the war being q mid
verbal skirmiSh between D. ]. OManey,

of the late Granville Stuart, Montana

1t began recently when O'Maney,
writing Of the Range Riders reunion

years ago. One Of the statements which
made in this article seems to have
reused the ire OF one OF the old-time
cOwhands OF Montana-Charles Stuart
and brought forth a contradiction by
him which appeared short while ago
in the columns Of a Phillips county,
Montana newspaper.

d. j. O7Malley. Charlie Stuart took
exception to this statement, and wrote
j. Russell Larcombe of the Phillips
County news at Malta, stating that ne
was riding the range in 1879.
Now comes communiQue from
O7dalley at his present general head
quarters near Lacrosse, Wis OAdalley

One soon learns by handling pots
when managing house plants that
if pots r light the plants are
dry; if heavy they may be left
without water for a time.
1t is a good plan to disinfect
sinks and other drains once each
week.
Potatoes that are to be French
fried should stand in cold water
at least an hour before cooking.
Mint and herbs should be
washed in cold water, wrung dry
in a cloth and chopped with q
sharp knife. If carefully dried
thus they will be crisp and, instead
of clinging in a wet mass to the
knife and board, will be quickly
chopped to powder. The board
also will not be stained green or
require special attention to clean.

in the oven before it is used, it
will never rust, no matter how
much it is put into water. For
stained tinware borax produces
the best results. If a tea pot or
coffee pot is discolored on the in

borax for a short time and all its
brightness will return.

were two of these old
brentwood chairs - both with
cane seats gone and a badly
scared varnish finish. "Get them
out of my sightl" their owner
said, II can't stand the thought of
wood bent and forced into unnat-

them too. The trick was done
with slip covers made, as shown
here.
The one you see in the sketch
became a side chair for the living

sandpapered and stained mahoga-

cane seat was inexpensively re-

plywood reshaped to fit by first
cutting a paper pattern to fit the

simultaneously. Sir Stafford
Grips, British ambassador in Mos
COW, has been doing his best to win
me Russians over to the British
side. If Stain should mass his Red
army near the Hitler sphere of in
fuence in the Balkans, it might slow
up the Nazi air attack upon England.
So Sir Stafford's negotiations in
MOSCOW are a matter of life and
death. However. they aren't getting
Tar either. The Russians have been
letting Sir Stafford go out on the
leash Just so far, then they bring
him up abruptly.
Just what goes on in the mind of

ter, is like doping out what goes on
In the mind of the Sphinx. But there
are certain signs that Hitler is fac
ing more and more toward the west
and may have given up his old de-
signs o n the east-and Russia. There
are also signs that Stain believes
this to be true.
For instance. the settlement of
Germans in the new German-seized
Poland has not been successful. The
Germans don't seem to like moving
into Slav areas. Furthermore, the
Pan-German group seems to be
dominant in Berlin.
For years there have been two
schools of German thought in the
Berlin foreign office and the war
ministry. n believing that Ger.
many's future lay in moving into
Russia, the other that it lay in dom
mating western Europe. At present
the latter group seems to be infu-
encing Hitler.
Their plan is to create a peasant
state in France and the other Latin
countries of Spain and Italy. In
France they have already removed
all OF the machinery from northern
factories-lock, stock and barrel.
And it is significant that the part of
France which the Nazis left unoccu-
pied is largely agricultural; so that
1t will be a long time before France
ever is able to come back as an
industrial country.
Note-Betting inside the diplo-
matte corps is that Hitler will move
n on Russia when he gets ready,
even if he does try to dominate west
ern Europe first.

Dental campaign with a new radio
series to begin around October IS.
But he is having a lot of trouble
arranging contracts with stations.
Since the controversial nature of
his talks bars him from the big net
works, under the National Associa-
ton of Broadcasters' code, the only
course open for him is to buy time
on individual stations for purely po-
itical speeches. This the radio
priest is now trying to do.
But he is encountering a lot of
GOODNESS among station owners.
They are at a loss just how to clas-
sify his fulminations, since his po-
litical support has been repudiated
by Wendell Willkie, and he already
is persona o grata with Roosevelt.
Note-Coughlin plans to broadcast
bymeans Of transcribed records over
the individual stations. This is much
cheaper than network broadcasting

CANADIAN PILOTS
One matter discussed by the Joint
U. S.-Canadian defense board at
its first meeting in Ottawa was the
training Of Canadian pilots in the
United States this winter.
Canada's severe weather makes
winter training extremely difficult
for aviators. AS one Canadian board
member expressed it, Your worst
weather conditions are better than
our best" Also, Canada is serious
ly handicapped by lack of train
ing planes and instructors.
The big pilot training program be-
ing conducted by the U. S. govern
ment has made it hard for Canada
to obtain trainer planes and instruc-
tors here.
So the Dominion is eager to set up
a large school somewhere in the
U. S. South or Southwest where
Canadian youths could receive fly
ing instruction this winter. If the
necessary facilities can be obtained,
Canada is ready to send 5000 men
south for training.
All the costs would be borne by
Canada. The only thing desired by
Canada is the privilege of establish
ing the school on U. S. soil.
Note-The U. S. army has trained
military flyers from South American
countries for several years, though
only in very small numbers.

To Check Constipation
Get at Its Cause!

II constipation has you down so
you feel heavy, tired and dopey,
it's time you did something about
1t. And something more than just
taking a physic! You should get
at the cause Of the trouble.
If you eat the su~per-refned
food most people eat, the chances
are the difficulty is simple-you
don't get enough "bulk." And
bulk" doesn't mean heavy food.
It's a kind of food that isn't con-
sumed in the body, but leaves a
soft "bulky"mas in the intestines.
If this common form of con-
stipation is your trouble, eat
Kellogg'S AIl-Bran regularly, and
drink plenty Of water. All-Bran
isn't a medicine-it's a crunchy,
toasted cereal. And it will help
you not only to get regular but to
keep regular. Made by Kellogg's
in Battle Creek. If your condition
is chronic. it is wise to consult
a physician.
