COYOTES
From the way young coyotes aro
being cleaned up it looks as though
tho posts would soon bo a thing of
tho past. One man on tho south side
has dug out fourteen, Bert Ilostetter
has gotten seven on the Island and
over thirty havo been taken off tho
Pawneo Springs ranch. Ono den was

buildings and only a short distance

SENATOR
Mrs. Marie Weeks, editor of the
Norfolk Press, made tho following
comment in a late Issue of her paper
concerning J. S. Kroh, candidato for
state senator of the 31st district,
which is appreciated at Its full value
because Mrs. Weeks is not only u
good newspaper woman, but very ac
tivo in the politics of the state as
well. "Jack Kroh, vice president of
tho Nebraska Press association, is

FREE TRIP
Soreral local business men havo
been victimltlzcd by bad check artists
in tho past few weeks and as Is usual
i such cases the victim is satis
fied if ho gets his money back nnd
lets tho guilty ono oscapo tho law.
This proceeding Is entirely wrong, tho
right thing to do would be to send
tho guilty ono to tho penitentiary,
then thoro would bo fewer checks
coming back marked "No Funds."
This office printed warning cards for
ono firm this week, and if they live
up to the wording of the cards, the
next bad chock tendored them will
mean a free trip to Lincoln for the
guilty party.
Tho Parent Teachers' Association

Live Upon Ever
Clean Rugs
As recently as last fall, your rugs were taken up and
cleaned. Yet they are packed, once more, with dirt. Tap
your shoe on any rug and see the dust arise.
Daily that gritty dirt, laden with germs, is tracked in
from the streets. Tramped under foot, it settles deeply
into rugs, out of reach of hand sweeping, to grind off nap
and menace health.
The bother and expense of frequent outdoor cleanings
once excused its accumulation in rugs. Present standards
of cleanlness do not.
For it is now easy, with The Hoover,' to beat out all
such nap-wearing, disease-bearing grit from rug depths.
At the same time, this efficient cleaner also sweeps up
stubbornest litter, erects crushed nap, revives dimmed
colors, and powerfully cleans by air suction.
The Hoover does all this in one rapid, dustless oper
ation, guaranteed to prolong rug life and to clean
thoroughly. Its ait-cleaning attachments also permit
dustless "dusting" of upholstery, portieres, etc.
Why not live amid cleanliness the year around, enjoy
better health and preserve your rugs from wear? Repeat
edly a Hoover thus saves its cost.

CHICKEN THIEVES
Tho day of tho chicken thlof is
not past John Roberts camo very
near to losing a number of chickens
early last Friday morning.
Tho family wero awakened by the
squaking of tho chickens, and think
ing sqmo of thorn might bo caught In
n trap, Mr. Roberts had set for rats,
ho and his wifo rushed out to find a
man in tho chicken house with a sack
ful of chickens, and several under
his coat.
Mrs. Roberts hurried Jnto the
house to call for the marshal from
Farnnm, nnd while she was gono Uio
thief knocked Mr. Roberts down, es
enping.
No trace of the thief has boon
found. Suspicion has been thrown on
a man seen driving two covered wagi
ons the same day of tho attempted
robbery, camping near tho stockyards
who disappeared evidently Immedi
ately after the attack on the Roberts
chickens. Tho two wagons and three
horses wore left at tho stock yards,
It would seem tho party left town a
horse back. Tho wagons wero turned
ovor to the city offlcinls, and found
to contain a numbor of chicken
coops nnd numerous secret compart
ments for chickens. Mr. Roberts is
keeping tho horses until further dis
position is made of them by tho city
officials. Farnam Echo.

concerns not only tho total bird pop

Its fluctuations from year to year,
and tho effect of tho present state
