The Pacific Coast had a much easier time than the Kast o n states In the Kast a general shortr.ge of gasoline forced the Fuel Administration to issue orders prohibit ing the use of pleasure automobiles on .i-iday. The output of aviation gasoline by all the refineries east of the Rockies was not enough, so California was called upon to furnish a large part of he supply. At the request of the t'nited States Government the Pacific Coast Petroleum War Service Commit tee apportioned California's quota among such of the large refiners as ere able to make this special gasoline. The Standard Oil Company being the ' geu of these, naturally had the greatest quota to fill. They more than lid their part in meeting this war need and exceeded their quota to a consider al le extent. It was onlv during a period of about six weeks in the late fall of 191 S that the lack of eosv starting was evident As soon as possible Red Crown gasoline was put back on its old hitrh duality basis and it now has the full and con tinuous chain of boiling points from low to high which is necessary for easy -.tarting. quick and smooth acceleration, high power and long mileage. their machine guns loose so strong that were lying everywhere, and I heard the air sounded like It was full of bees boys crying for help, some railing for and then their artillery opened up on water and others calling for their us with all they had in them and the fathers and mothers.

Rivers & Ackley PHONE MAIN 81 WORK OF GOVERNMENT HUNTERS EXPLAINED BY HAROLD DOBYNS To the Editor Gazette-Times: I have read numerous articles in the different county and state pauers .In. lit Oovermnent hunters and their work of exterminating coyotes. Being a government hunter, I wish to say a few words in regard to the same. Ad article in one of the late papers about poisoning coyotes, especially at :racted my attention. Poison is not used promiscuously by 'he Government hunters and trappers, as some people have been lead to be lieve, but the Oivernment insliuets its hunters to use poison, only, where It has been determined that it can be suc cessfully used, and furthermore if it is properly used, there is but little rtan ;;er of poisoning birds, other than crows and magpies, which are pests that game laws do not protect, .lust be cause your dog goes away from home and gets poisoned and there is a Gov ernment hunter in the neighborhood, lon't lay it to him; and furthermore, a man's dog that leaves home is no good anyway. That is the way they lsually get poisoned, out prowling around when they should be home. There Is far more poison put out by farmers than by Government hunters, .egardless of what it may kill. The crows and magpies are the biggest nuisance a trapper has to contend with and at e also a nuisance to the stockmen and farmers. ' The Government does not kill the covotes merely for their furs and what poison is used is to destroy the animal regardless of its fur, but of course we save the skins of all the animals that we can for they are valuable and help to pav the salaries of the hunters. A true trapper will not use poison to kill fur-bearing animals for if an ani mal is not found shortly after being poisoned the skin Is damaged to a cer tain extent. The coyote is a predatory animal and the game laws do not class it as a fur-bearing animal. That the Government Predatory Ani mal Extermination work is a fake and the Government hunters are no good, iis some people say, is absolutely not so. The Government gives a man an onnortunitv to move his ability as a hunter and trapper and if he does notl make good they will not Keep mm. The Government hunter's job is not the map people give him credit for having, and if any of you doubt it, go out and 'ch a few of the old timers that are left. The Government hunters in this iistrict saved about one half million iollars worth of stock during the fiscal -ear litis. How much did other hunters ave? How much was paid out in 'tounties. ? How many' of the coyote;-, 'hat were turned in for the bounty were old ones? The Government huu ers work all year round and kill the old ones as well, which are responsible for havhng to pay so much bounty on young ones. It was not the bounty that -ade the coyotes scarce, but It was 'ho Government hunters. It has been oroven more than once that the bounty system is a failure. I have been a Gov ernment hunter for almost 4 years and have hunted for the bdunty a great ''enl and I think I know the game nrettv well. Almost all of the hunt ing that is done for the bounty is done in the spring for the dens of young ones. No effort Is made to capture 'the mother of them, while we are le- ciulred to get the old mother coyote with every den, thereby saving the bounty on a bunch of pups the follow ing spring. They average about 7 V4 nuns to a litter, and I have found litters of 14 belonging to one coyote. We hunt every month In the year, while others only hunt while the fur Is nrlme or for the puns, for thev can not make decent wages hunting for the bounty. Our bosses do not accept excuses for our catch, but we have to turn overl the skins and scalps, of which a sys tematic record is kept. It is true that the sheepmen help the hunters by giving them board and horsefeed in return for the good they do, in killing the coyotes off their anges. but I have received some mighty rotten deals from some of them. One time I was asked to go to a certain man's range and he told me he would furnish me with board and feed ny horse, so I went, I had to turn the horse on bunch grass and when I was -eadv to move to another territory he sked me to go and settle up for my board with the old lady, and I did. I caught 17 old coyotes the month T was there. A trapner earns all the accomo dation the public gives him. Home people say, "don't kill the covotes, they destroy the rabbits" and contend that was what used to keep down the rabbits. It is true that 'nvotes kill a few rabbits but what thev catch has no diminishing effect on thein at all. As a rule, under ordinary circumstances it takes two or three coyotes to atch a rabbit. Judge for vourself and I think most of you will sxree that the Government Predatory Animal Extermination work Is a tine thing for the country and you will give its hunters your cooperation Instead if your knocks. Talk Is cheap but It takes money to buy whiskey anil I'm going to keen on hunting for the Gov ernment as long as I can make more money there, for It is the almighty dollar that Is the one great question that is agitating the minds of almost everybody today.
