It is now 34 weeks since the
local coal dealers were given an
opportunity to furnish a reas-
onable explanation of why they
charged $1400 per ton for coal
when the same grade was sell-
ing at $500 per ton at the min-
es As no reasonable explana-
tion seems to' be forthcoming
the only conclusion that can be
reached Is that the profiteers
were working overtime when
they charged such prices-'

KANSAS ATAVrtR
WITH RABBITS
Doubling of Bounty Increases
Annual KUI to More Than
4000000
Topeka Kan — Four million Jack
rabbits la the annual "klU”‘ of tbe
Kansas hunters according to an esti-
mate prepared by state officials fol-
lowing the receipts of reports from
nearly half the counties of the state
aa to the bounty that bad been paid
for rabbits during the year Tbe
bounty for Jack rabbits is jiow 10
cents a bead It was flva cents a bead
for many years but this was not suf-
ficient to pay tbe coat of the ammuni-
tion used to kill them and the rabbits
became so numerous last winter end
daring the previous summer that the
legislature doubled the amount of tbe
bounty
Damage Crops' and Trees
Those wbo travel through Kansas
on railroad trains or by motor car and
re watching during tbe early morn-
ing or Just about sundown can see
tbe rabbits playing about In alfalfa
fields or pasture lands Tbe rabbits
may bn seen literally by the thou-
sands any evening or any morning
They do Inestimable damage tejroung
crops and to trees
It le estimated by officials that the
average Jack rabbit will do damage
exceeding one dollar every year by
girdling trees particularly fruit trees
and by cutting the roots of alfalfa and
cutting the young corn and sorghuip
plants In the eastern part of the
state where tbe fields are-wall fenced
and the country rather thickly 'popu-
lated tbe jack rabbit Is not so nu-
merous
Great Rabbit Drives ''
Thousands of tbn rabbits are taken
very year In great rabbit drives cov-
ering many aquara miles The rab-
bits are driven by men and dogs Into
a woven wire endqyure and there
killed During tho late fall and win-
ter there are many of these drives
some of them participated In by five
to eight hundred men and boys and
some women The catch often runs as
high as 4000 rabbits' The usual
practice Is to scalp the rabbits and
get the ears to collect tbe bounty
wblcb frequently goes to some churcb
or society and tbe carcasses ere
shipped to the- Salvation army and
other Institutions In the large cities to
be distributed to the poor or sold The
fur Is taken for making hats -and
'other felt cloth Thera have been
weeks in Kansas when as high ss five
carloads of jack rabbits all under re-
frigeration have been shipped out of
the state
Higher Bounty Brings Results
The state does not pay any bounty
for the killing of tbe Jack rabbits
This bounty Is paid entirely by the
counties and It la a matter of local
option whether or not the county
pays the bounty But every county
where the rabbits have been partlcu-
I larly bad pays the bounty and the
people are glad to pay It from the
I taxes In order to keep down the num-
ber of rabbits and the damage they
do to growing crops and trees
In some counties the question has'
been submitted to a vote of the people
and has always carried The bounties
frequently ran up to four and five
thousand dollars a year to the coun-
ties and It will likely run consider-
ably higher now with the bounty
doubled The amount was raised
from 5 to 10 cents a bead last April
and all the conntlea showed heavy In-
creases In the numbers of rabbits
killed every month Some counties
ran SO per cent a month more boun-
ties since the new law went Into ef-
fect than before
( Scorn Poleoned Food
Men and boys devote a good deal
of time to hunting jack rabbits during
tha fall and winter and the ’spring
months
For years Kansas had a -fight with
' the prairie dogs but they were Dnally
driven uway or killed off The dogs
I were killed with poisons put In their
burrows But the Jack rabbit has no
burrow and hug never been known to
eat poisoned foods During extreme
j weather the rabbits will come Into
feed lots und eat corn or other feeds '
given to cattle sheep or hogs but no
one has devised u scheme for poison-
ing grnlns to pi event the jack rabbit
detecting It und avoiding the poisoned
foods
