Mr. Joy spoke at some length regarding Miss Milam's won derful ingenuity and results with the domestic science movement in Belle view, Mr. Brown on manual training and C. R. Moon on athletics.

Remedies Against Predatory Animals The following is the report of the committee appointed by the Farmers' and Fruitgrowers' League to Investi gate the best ways and means of alle viating the damage wrought by the various predatory animals: I. General Recommendations. Work of this nature should be started as soon as possible, for two reasons: First, on account of the scarcity of other natural foods; at this time of the year the animals will take more readily to any poisoned food that Is put out for them; second, because one animal killed now is worth a good many more killed later, as they will be caught before the breeding season. All brush piles should be burned, as they harbor practically all of the predatory animals and various de structive insects as well. The committee wishes to call par ticular attention to the precautionary measures in regard to handling the poisons given later in this report. II. Specific Remedies. 1. Gophers The Maccabee trap. Victor No. 0 trap. Raisins, carrots and other vegetables, poisoned with crystal strychnine. Grain poisoned with a solution of strychnine. Instructions, Maccabee trap: Open the runway and place a trap In each opening as far in as possible and leave the hole open. To avoid loss of the trap it is best to stake it. Victor S'o. 0 trap: Open the run way and set the trap in the forks, if any, of the runway, leaving the trap level with the flotr of the runway. Roof over the opening with boards or weeds, and cover with earth, so that the trap may operate freely in abso lute darkness. It should be effective inside of twenty-four hours. Poisons: The poisoned raisins, carrots or other vegetables, or grain, should be placed in an opening made in the runway. Opinions differ as to closing r.p the opening. 2. Squirrels Victor No. 0' trap. Grain poisoned v'th a solution of strychnine. Victor No. 0 trap: Set the trap in the runway lcvel.with the floor of the hole. Place the poisoned grain inside the opening of the hole. ' 3. Rats Victor No. 0 trap. Un slacked lime. Plaster of parls and corn meal. Victor No. 0 trap: Tie piece of bacon rind or cheese to the trap and place In a runway. Conceal the trap as well as possible without interfer ing with its ciosing. Unslacked lime: Place the un slacked lime In the runway. It will get on the rat's feet and he will lick It off. Plaster of parls and corn meal: Make a mixture of two-thirds plaster of parls and one-third corn meal and place In a shallow vessel where the rats are feeding. 4. Rabbits Salt and strychnine. Salt and Etrychnlne: Place a little common salt where the rabbits enter the property for a few days to attract the rabbits particularly to that spot, forming a salt lick. Then place a mixture of salt and strychnine In place of the common salt. Place the poison out in the late afternoon or evening and bo sure to bury all car casses the next morning and destroy all the remaining poison. Place poi son only where stock may not reach It. Juicy fruits and vegetables in season, poisoned with strychnine, may be used where the rabbits are not confined to a runway. 5. Crows Poisoned corn. Poisoned corn: Place the corn In the furrow while plowing If the crows are following the plow. The next fur row ohou-ld cover what has not been eaten. . III. How to Make Poisons, or Where to Buy Them, and the Trnps Recom mended by the Committee. Poisoned raisins, carrots and other vegetables: Split and insert a crystal of strychnine or mix poisoned raisins or fresh cut vegetables with ground or powdered strychnine In the follow ing proportion: One-eighth of an ounce of strychnine to one gallon of material. Poisoned barley or whpat: Clean grain. 20 quarts; strychnine sulphate (ground or powdered), 2 ounces; sac charin, 1 teaspoonful; gloss starch (common laundry starch), teacup- ful; water, 1 pints. Dissolve the starch in a little cold water and add 1V4 pints of boiling water, making a rather thick solution. While hot, stir in the strychnine and mix until free from lumps, then add the saccha rin and beat thoroughly. Pour in the poisoned starch over the barley and stir rapidly until the poison is evenly distributed. Then allow the grain to dry. When dry it will keep Indefl nitely without deterioration. By this method a coaling of poison Is found on the outside of the grain, which acts much more quicRly than if the grain is boiled . or soaked in the poison. Poisoned corn for crows: Soak one-eighth ounce of powdered strych nine to one gallon of corn just cov ered with water for 24 hours. IV. - Precautionary Measures. 1. In making poisons, do not leave any qf the strychnine, around the place where chil'dren or domestic an imals may get at it. 2. In putting out poisoned grains or vegetables, place them where the wild birds or domestic stock cannot get at them. 3. Be sure to clean your hands thoroughly and at once after handling the strychnine In making the poisoned articles. 4. (Handle all the poisoned arti cles with a spoon and be sure to wash the spoon thoroughly nnd at once af ter using.

That he will work In connection with the various county courts In road construction, and will follow their advice when possible to avoid 'such disputes as those arising under the administration of his prede cessor, was the announcement made to the state highway commission by K.

Since the publication of their "Fair List" prices the Diamond tire people have received many letters of com mendation and many assurances from tire purchasers anil dealers of con tinued confidence and good will. They have discovered alHO that It is impossible to please everybody, no matter how sincere the effort to do so may be. Not long ago there was received at the general offices of the Liamond Tire Company n Akron, Ohio, a letter from an Indignant man In Chicago. He did not hesitate to make1 use of strong language or to set forth charges that were In no wise complimentary. "You say," he wrote, "that you have got only one price on diamonds and that people don't need to dicker none when they go to buy your tires. That's a He, or else one of your men are cutten prices. I never bought diamonds yet, but If you have differ ent prices I don't want them. For I would be sure to get the worst of It." When he was asked for explicit In formation concerning his charges and for the name of the agent who was alleged to be cutting prices the In dignant gentleman who had "never bought diamonds yet" returned part of a newspaper which contained the first two or three lines of an adver tisement under the caption: "We Save You Money On Diamonds." Investigation revealed tho fact that the advertisement had been pub lished by a firm that sold Jewelry on tho Installment plan. A complete copy of the paper, containing the ad vertisement In full, was sent to the man who had complained, and In due M .... o ........
