Some pets need plenty of room Others demand lots of sunlight perhaps more than you can furnish Do your hours coincide — that is is the pet a daytime animal while you are a commuter leaving home early and returning late? Surely then you would not derive the greatest pleasure from a songbird Hence if you want a bird might it not be better to get a pair of nocturnal dwarf owls? Peculiar Habits Does the pet have Expensive and peculiar feeding habits? Sad to say more than 99 per cent of all tortoises are improprely fed in the home and although hardy die a lingering death beginning almost from the very day they are made apartment-houscaptives i is it noisy — In short could your nerves take it? Some songbirds like the blackbird are wonderful outdoor singers but bring them indoors and they’ll rattle your windowpanes Or a chaffinche’s eternal repetition of its trill may drive you absolutely for-exa- m for-openin- I e Bearing these questions in mind— perhaps a pair' of small songbirds would meet your needs best — and enliven your apartment pleasantly Say a pair of bullfinches In an adequately large cage they can bring into your home a big helping of happiness The male’s song husky though sweet and fulsome can be soothing and the quiet consideration he shows his wife altogether touching Besides to take care of bullfinches requires but a few minutes a day and costs little in seed But bullfinches must be acquired when young — then only will they make tame and friendly household pets Space Limited? If space is limited then the little siskin might be better A sweet singer it's a bird which will become tame and affectionate even when acquired as an adult: The siskin is quite content with a smaller cage it requires no expensive prepared foods and is hard — a bullfinch may die where a siskin will flourish But don’t hurry the little fellow — it will take several months for him to come to you But once he does count on him to come to you for your own company’s sake But there is another pet which I would recommend namely the golden hamster The little character with gold black and white coat — is a perpetual delight An altogether cheerful little cuss— and good for evening hours Too the little cuddly fat mouse-sizegolden hamsters are irresistibly funny as they wrestle and roll over and over with squeaks and feigned savagery chasing each other in wild hops In addition they are neat and because they seldom climb and gnaw they can be allowed the run of the room without causing any appreciable damage Better yet a can take care of a golden hamster its feed costs little a roomy box will suffice for its home and it? bites even less than a rabbit although a mother of very small babies should not be handled close up to her brood Once you have acquired a siskin for a daytime pet — although the parakeet which I will discuss in a piece shortly can be even more fun and highly entertaining — or a golden hamster you’ll find your home a more cheerful dwelling and your life enriched with a deeper understanding of the world about whole-heartedl- y d d awe-inspirin- g In the Swan Valley area a part of the South Fork of the Snake below Palisades Dam has been closed to fishing for all species because of emergency conditions due to concentration of fish below the construction area The Teton River is moderately high and slightly milky near The Island Park area Driggs should be fair to good on all streams and lakes Some creeks will be high but clearing Worms and salmon eggs are recommended but some flies will work on the North Fork of the Snake I By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Pacific Coast League San Diego 1 Oakland 0 (11 in- nings) Seattle 5 San Francisco 3 Portland 8 Hollywftod 4 Sacramento 4 Los Angeles 2 International League Havana 8 Toronto 0 Richmond 4 Rochester 1 ’ Syracuse 5 Buffalo 1 Columbus at Montreal postponed American Association Indianapolis 5 Louisville 3 Toledo 11 Charleston 7 Omaha 5 Denver 4 Minneapolis 8 St Paul 3 Texas League Dallas 7-- St Paul 3 0 Fort Worth 9 Beaumont 3 Oklahoma City 6 tonio 4 Tulsa 2 Houston 1 Southern Association 10-mi- le Provide Exhibition Action Poor Wedther Pioneer League Boise Triumphs San - An- Minneapolis Is Setting Pace In AA Circuit Boise Pocatello Idaho Falls Salt Lake City In Only Billings Ogden Pioneer Game By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The rich got richer and the Boise 12 Great Falls 11 got poorer last night in the poor Salt Lake City at Pocatello post- American Assn as the league’s poned ram teams downed second Ogden at Idaho Falls two games three-topostponed wet grounds division clubs Magic Valley at Billings postponed First place Minneapolis spanked ranits twin city rival St Paul Schedule i Tonight's Boise at Great Falls Ogden at Idaho while second running Toledo Falls two games Magic Valley at BilCharleston 11-Omaha lings two games Salt Lake City at downed Denver on Gerry Thomas’ homer in the last of the Boise Great Fall ninth ABHOA ABHOA LOUlSVllIe 4 10 0 Forthm’nSb 5 2 11!
