During 1918 hunters of the United States department of agriculture killed [ 83 gray wolves In New Mexico, 34 m‘.?!q&mil.p' lions, 15 stock-destroying bears, 1,960 coyotes, and 350 bobcats, we “are -told. These animals were kilied ‘ai a total expense of $24,860, andijtha ieaving effected by “their de- struction,” on the basis commonly ac- cepted by stockmen, amounts-to $215,- 950 annually. Hunting during’ the spring _period destroys many yoUung; and thos. preveénts. increase. 1 coyoted: not “aceounted for In g ures given were destroyed by" pol'u'm.f : The killing of these animals marks a long stride in extermination of gray wolves and.-other predatory animals, and the saving is cumulative for years F to ce FRIDAY ONLY! MARY PICKFORD in a return showing of “RAGS" at the GRAND Fully as Important as It Is That High. ways Should Be Done Right— Keep Ruts From Forming. (Prcpared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) It is fully as important that a road be dragzed at the right time as it is that the d:agging be properly done. Furthermore, the difficulties involved in prescribing definite rules for deter- mining when dragging should be done are equally as great as those already cncountered in attempting to define how it should he done. Only very gen- eral stutements concerning this fea ture of the work can properly be made bere, and much must be left to the ex: perienced judgment of those who de cide when the dragging or any particu- lar roud is to be started and when it Is to be stopped. il B The rule frequently. cited that all: earth roads should be dragged imme- diately after every rain, Is in many casesventirely impracticable and is also Drag on a North Carolina Road. vety ritsleading because of the condi- tions which it fails to ¢ontemplate. It | Is true that there are many road sut- frices composed of earth or earthy ma- terial which do not become very muddy under trafiic, even during long rainy sefibons, and since such surfaces usu- ally, tend: to harden very rapidly ‘as sooh as the weathier clears. up, it may, be- desirabié to drag roads of this-kind immediately after a rain. Such roads, however’ Would not ordinarily need to be dragged after every rain, hecause of . the strong tendency that they nat- urally possess of holding their shape. On the other hand, many varieties of clay und soll tend to become very muddy under only light traffic after very moderate rains, and, it is evident ‘| that roads constructed of such ma- terials conld not always be success- fully dragged immediately after a rain. Sometlmes, in fact, it may be neces- sary to wait until several consecutive !clear days have elapsed after a'long rainy spell before theé road is sufficlent- 1ty dried out to keep ruts from forming alimost as-rapidly ‘as they can be filled by dragging. e .. Well-constructed sand-clay roads should not often become muddy after they dre once well compacted. They may become seriously rutted, however, under heavy traffic, during rainy weather, and are almost sure to need dragging several:times each year. Such roads should ordinarily be drag- ged as soon after a rain as prace ticable as otherwise the surface soon becomes ‘dry and hard, so that it Is necessary . to do considerably more dragging in order to fill the ruts. Fur- thermore, the material which the drag moves. will not compact readily unless it contains a considerable amount of olsture. . Gravel roads can be effectively main- ‘ried with a road drag only when the gravel composing the surface is fine —_— T T — TONIGHT At 7:30 and 9:00 "COWARD TURNED DARE-DEVIL!

The time for drag- ging gravel roads is unquestionably while they are wet.

Fence Bulit of Trees. “ 8o many years ago that nobody knows when it was, nor who was the tabor-saving genius who did it, a fence was bullt In Michigan by foreing split poards between saplings. Then the trees grew. They kept growing until today they are, of lmmense size and deeply im- bedded in them are the ends of those old rafls. It is tmpossible to tell how far they extend into the tree trunks They are weathered, vet they ring a3 true under a hammer as though just hewn. It happened that the trees formed A boundary line for one of the old tracts. The ralls were arrenged five feet, and the growth of the trees around their ends has created ohe of the most sub- stantial fences imaginable. —— First “Dust’ Explosion. Untll. the summer of 1878 such ® thing as a “dust explosion” was um known. No doubt many such explo- sions had' occurred, but they were of small account ahd no Investigation followed to disclose the true nature of the case! -’ -~Tn that summer the Washburn flour- ‘lng niflls at: Minneapolis, then the largest in the world, exploded with terrific ‘violence. ~ . . Several massive buildings. with g e walls two feet thick and of particularly strong ‘mill construction, were demolished as if by an-immense | charse of dynamite. The flame of the first explosion was commupicated to two other mills, which' were destroyed in the con- flagratien which followed.
