CATCHES HOOT OWL Repeated warnings and sermons have been preached to the young woman hood and man hood of this country regarding the lure of the white lights and the destructive tendency of night-life in the city, and the general •supposition is that the same admoniilion is given to the off spring of all l ot her living creatures. However, as is always the rule, there are some who fail to heed these warnings. This whs demonstrated lust evening when a [young hoot owl undoubtedly attracted from its forest home by the bright lights, was discovered wandering In a dazed condition on the corner of Second and Madison streets about nine o'clock. Martin Worthman who was passing along the street at the time, noted the condition of the bird and with the intention to resent it from its plight and dangerous environments, secured a cigar box and attempted to induce the owl to enter it. Not being aware of the kindly intentions on the part ot Mr. Wortman the bird put up a tight and at one time during the proceedings itearly pained n decision when it secured a strangle hold on one of Mr. Worthman’s fingers. However it was finally subdued and taken captive and will bo taken to the high school and placed in a gilded cage and an attempt will be made to make a pet of it. ■ «... Geneva Pumper Was Kidnaped (Continued from page one) but fire arms could not be found on either of the men. Both Adams and McCrosky are at liberty from the .lay county court under bond of SI,OOO. Butcher charged. In communication with the sheriff of Jay county late last night, local police wore asked to hold the two men under arrest here without bond and that official also declared that an officer would be sent here this morning to return the prisoners to Portland, where they will be remanded to jail to await trial on Friday. The official was advised by police here that the pumps at the station, where Butcher was employed, had bene left running when the young man was abducted yesterday morning. Supply of Coal Eases Situation (Continued from page one) present rate ot consumption is continued. The soft coal supply held by con- [ miners on March 1 was estimated at 52,500,000 tons. In addition 5,180,000 tons were on the upper lake docks and at least 674. OOOtons in resevre at the mines. Anthracite supplies inthe hands of retailers March 1 are greater than those at the same date in 1919 and 1 1920. The last estimate placed the stocks at 4,500,000 tons. Tables show a coal supply of from ’ 50 to 60 days in Indiana and Illinois. Eleventh hour efforts to avent the coal tie-up scheduled for April 1 were being made today in New York and Chicago. Representatives of 135,000 anthra--1 cite miners in New York were confer ing with an operators’ committee on wages and hours. In Chicago. Frank Farrington, head ' of 90,000 Illinois miners, went into conference with operatives. Any agreement they may reach must be tentative pending its approval by president Lewis of the United Mine Workers. ' These two conferences represent 225,000 of the 540,000 union miners or- ’ dered to walkout April 1.

Ind., March 29—Indiana is attracting much travel because of the better highways compared to numerous southern states, according to ino- • torists now returing nortli after spending the winter in Florida. Many tourists who pass •through this city on their way homo from Florida and other southern stales, say that the roads in Kentucky and Tennessee are in bad condition compared to Indiana state roads, acording to W. L. Felerman. secretary of the Jackson ' County Motor Club, who daily is called upon for advise as to routes. In the opinion of local motor club members, Indiana will see augmented motor traffic this year because of the superiority of its state roads. A. H. Hinkle, chief engineer of main•enance of the state highway commission. states that this winter has been one of the worst in many years on gravel and stone roads. This is due, ' he says, because of numerous heavy rains in late fall followed by two bad freezes and thaw. While some state roads of this type are in rather bad 1 shape, the majority of such mileage ' Is good, and with several days of contiguous good weather and sunshine, the highway department will have 1 them all in fine condition, he declares.

CHINCH BUGS ARE AGAIN SERIOUS MENACE (By the County Agent) A question which farmers seem to be much interested in now is that concerning the likelihood of chinch bug infestation during the coming summer. From reports which have come in to the county agent's office it would appear that the infestation would be just as bad if not worse than last year. The chinch bugs winter over in the ; adult stage, taking refuge along ditch banks, in clumps of grass, under leaves, in old fence rows, etc. Since i the past winter has been a compara i lively mild one it would seem that the percentage of the chinch bugs i killed by the cold has not been large. ' ‘I There was only ten or twelve days! 'of really cold weather and during this time the ground was fairly cov-j

Unless there ' are unusually bad weather conditions between now and the time the bugs emerge most of those which have wintered over will not be materially decreased. The only effective method which . can be taken at this time to combat the bugs is that ot burning their, places of hibernating. This should be done during the next two or three weeks as the bugs will likely begin [emerging by that time. — o— ■— — EAT AT BITTNER’S —CAFE— Meals 40c. Lunch 30c.
