The third interesting account of a jackrabbit drive written by Mr, Ben East appeared recently in the Grand Rapids Press, of Grand Rapids, Mich, and will be of interest to many of our readers. Takes Kruschen to Keep Rheumatism Away Writing to tell how she keeps her activity, this wonderful old woman states:— “My hands were becoming so crippled that I had to give up piano and organ playing-—and almost en­ tirely gave up knitting. I have been using Kruschen Salts foi' nearly two years, and am very pleased with the result. Last August I played two church services on the organ, and hope to do so again this August. My fingers are nearly straight, and quite supple, and I am 75. I have recom­ mended Kruschen Salts to many people.”—A. A. G. The six mineral salts of Kruschen State game men and others fore­ cast that the big European hares of Ontario are sure to cross the St. Clair river into Michigan—probably they have already done so, in fact—and spread widely across the southern counties of this state within the next few years. If those predicitions come true it’s safe to say that the entire hunting picture in southern Michigan is going to undergo a few important changes. Once the huge rabbit’s become es­ tablished they will attract more at­ tention, draw more criticism and win more praise than any other game animal or bird in the state except perhaps the ringneck pheasant and their coming is almost certain to mean 'changes in game laws, hunting methods and hunter-farmer relation­ ships. The sportsmen of Michigan in general will welcome the big hares. Any member of the rabbit family that weighs up to 12 pounds, runs like a race horse, refuses to hole ahead o.f hounds, is game and car­ ries shot as long as it can kick a hind leg, can look out for itself and and is nearly as good on the platter as a cottontail, is certain to prove a popular addition in Michigan’s game list. The hares are high favorites with hunters in Canada, where they out­ rank in importance all other game in the farming sections. (Since their advent the cottontail has come to be of scant moment. Cottontails are said to he less plentiful now in On­ tario than before the hares appeared —perhaps because they are hunted the year round and with ferrets at that—but no one seems to care. Other Game Scarce Pheasants and other winged game are scarce over much of the territory where the hares are found and no one bothers to hunt squirrels. When­ ever anyone talks about hunting in the hare districts of Ontario he gen­ erally means “jackrabbit” hunting. There is no reason to believe the hares will prove any less popular with Michigan nimrods. In fact the Michigan conservation department has received many requests for per­ mits to import the big rabbits into this state, from hunters who believe they would afford high grade sport. But the department is afraid of what the farmers of Michigan would say about such importations, And there’s the rub. The farmers of Ontario 'consider the hares out and out pests, perhaps as much be-! cause of their numbers as because of)have a direct effect upon the whole ~j---------- j „---- bloodstream, neutralizing uric acid, which is the recognized cause of rheumatism. ‘They also restore the the eliminating organs to proper working order, and so prevent con­ stipation. thereby cheeking the fur­ ther formation of uric acid and other body poisons which undermine the health.

Ordinarily the hares do little da­ mage in .farming areas. They are ani­ mals of the open fields, feeding dur­ ing the summer months in clover, grain and similiar crops, on which they make no serious inroads. They do not appeal' to bother garden or truck crops. In winter their favorite food is winter wheat, on which they pasture extensively in Ontario where it is. a common crop. The wheat fields are packed solidly with their tracks in some sections in midwinter and un­ less the snow is too deep they dig down and feed without difficulty. No appreciatable damage to the wheat crop results, however. It is only in times of deep snow, when other foods fail, that the hares become destructive. (Like cottontails they turn then to the bark of fruit trees and shrubs and their great size renders them capable of doing heavy damage in a short time. Ap­ parently they do not damage berries and other small fruits. Canadian farmers report little damage of such manner and in two days of hunting in Ontario in February we did not see a single case where the hares had nipped raspberry canes in wild briar patches. As for the amount of food they take, that is hardly a serious factor. The heaviest hare concentration in Ontario probably will not exceed 50 animals to. the square mile when the fall hunting season gets under way. From then on the .population is thinned rapidly. Assuming the hares averaging 10 pounds—rather a high estimate—that means that each square mile is producing 500 pounds of rabbit per year. The food requir­ ed to do that, of the kind taken by the hares, would not be missed from the farm crops on a square mile and the meat value of the animals to the farmers themselves would amply make up any small loss incurred. Whether they regularly do real damage or not, however, fact remains that the hares are liked by the farmers of Canada probably would prove no more pop­ ular in the farmlands of Michigan. Just how Michigan hunters will go after the big rabbits also is a matter for speculation. Michigan, farmers are not as well suited to or­ ganized big drives as those of Can- ; ada, where the fields are larger. Too the trepass problem would loom big in this state if such drives were at­ tempted. . Farmers Welcome Hunts On that score, however, Canadian hunters declare there will be no dif­ ficulty. Once the hares become abundant the farmers will welcome the drives, they say, and even take in them, both for the sport a means of Rev. Gordon W.

Does rabbits pass problem will be largely solved in Michigan, that most farmers will welcome hunters onto their lands to hold the hares in check? In Canada there is an open season the year around on the hares. This is necessary, hunters say, to prevent an over abundance of the animals. Will a similiar long season be neces­ sary if the hares spread across Mich­ igan? What would be the result on the illegal killing of pheasants, cot­ tontails and other protected game if such a long season were declared? These and other similar questions appear sure to arise as a result of the hare invasion. But whether the sportsmen or the farmers or the game officials of Michigan approve or disapprove, the hares seem bound to come. Reports have it that they are now on this side of the St. Clair river. And Cana­ dian experience indicates that once established they can look for them­ selves and spread at a rate a guinea pig might well envy.

The marriage to take place early in May, boys,Two 20-year-old 'St. Marys Elmer Taggerty, son of Mir. and Mrs. William Taggerty and Jack, “Hank” Wilmore, son of-Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Wilmore, have returned from a trip through the United States and to Mexico and during the six months they were on their travels they never paid a nickel for transportation. When they .left here, the first of Oc­ tober, last fall, they 'had about $20 between them. They worked at dif­ ferent points until they had earned enough money to finance their food supplies until they arrived at an­ other city where they wished to vis­ it. The boys left St. Marys and cross­ ed into the United .'States at Port Huron. From there they went to Detroit and then down to Cincinati, Montgomery and Pensacola. They did no work until they reached the South. After visiting at West Palm Beach, St. Petersburg and Tampa, they got jobs on a government pro­ ject for about two months, working on the erection of an airport. They did odd jobs around New Orleans for ten days and then moved on into Texas where they had their first connection with the C. 0. camps and they were well pleased with these places. However even with this life, there are always the drawbacks and while visiting one of the camps, the boys were ordered to school since there was no work for’ them while there they got their board lodging. Their most enjoyable time of whole trip was spent in the Mexican border cities. They spent two and one half months in California, through Hollywood and to San Fran­ cisco. They came up the coast to Portland, Seattle and up into Van­ in Vancouver and then started their final leg of the journey and in ten days they arrived in Toronto af­ ter riding trains and rods all the way. From Toronto they started out for home and as it happened they got their final lift of their six months’ travel with a St. Marys man Elmer Brown, of Hamilton, who was coming here to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Brown, for the Good Friday holiday. They arrived in St. Marys about six-th'irty in the evening the day before the holiday. The boys were in attendance at the San Anita race when the horse, Aczucar, won the race after trained by a St. Wilson. The boys that time.
