1880 GREATEST BOON

AFTER READING Mr.. Rieder's
and Mr.. Hargrove's letters in the
Feb. 1, 1850, issue of Montana Farm
er-Stockman, I can't help but write
how I feel about 1880 and coyotes.
I have had sheep in different num-
bers from 80 head to over 1000 for
the last Is years. At present I have
both sheep and cattle on family
sized ranch.
To me the use of 1880 has proved
the biggest boon of any to the flock
owner. Prior to the use of 1880
large percent of my lambs and even
ewes went the way of the coyote.
My neighbor lost over so percent of
his lambs and sold out his flock. I
sold mine from flock of 800 ewes
to about 80 head which I could keep
right near the buildings and then
host some lambs
AS to the humane side of the story,
I would rather have my dog die of
poison than have him caught in a
steel trap and sit for days on windy
knoll and freeze to death. Or maybe
break off a foot or two and be a
hungry cripple for the rest of his
life.
Also, I can't see any advantage
in a coyote filling his belly from a
diseased carcass either domestic or
wild life, and then prowling around
scattering germs wherever he goes.

Are you looking for a pleasant,
restful hobby to help fill your
spare time during the coming
winter months?
Then consult Miss Gertrude
James, TOT st. Anthony Ave, who
has been a shut-in for the past 16
months because of a severely
broken ankle.
Miss James could school anyone
on the art of working a jig-saw
puzzle, knitting, crocheting. or the
selection and getting the most
out of reading material. She had
time to become an expert on
these while recuperating from a
broken ankle she suffered in
May of 1949.
That month the IT year old wo-
man slipped on the steps and
broke her ankle-a clean break
that almost severed her foot that
month. Doctors did not expect the
break to heal, but heal it did, and
now she is able to walk most of
the time without limping.
Miss Chapman is one of the few
living native st. Paulites. She
was born August 10, 1873 on
Cooper Street, now Sibley. She
was one of the six children of
Louise and Edward James. How
ever, Miss James does not re-
member much of the early de-
velopment of st. Paul, as she left
nome at the age of 10 for New
York, to work with the YWCA.
Some of her later years were
spent at work in Chicago, Nor
folk, Va, and in various other
cities. Then she returned to st.
Paul to care for a sister, who was
i'll.
Miss James says that she does
not feel her age. An ardent base

Judd said it is proper for people
to oppose him if they object to
the views he actually holds.

In commenting on the attitudes
