What will be the outcome of the gopher
problem? The little gray robbers increase
more rapidly each year, as the wolves
and other "varmints" that prey on them
are destroyed. What is the big gray go
pler any way, and where did he come
from? The writer has talked with peo.
pie who claim that he is cross between
the chlpmunk and the prairie dog but,
judging from his ravenous disposition, it
is more likely that he is the descendant of
a mcsalliance between coyote and
mud futile. He is not common to all sec.
tions in these parts. In the Williams
port country the prairie is alive with the
gray gophers, and they have almost ex-
terminated their striped brethren, killing
and eating them, rs they have been seen
TO do, here. In the southern part of the
county, however, they are still very
scarce. If people generally would cat
them, their extinction (the gophers, not
the people, would soon be brought about
The writer knows three or four settlers
who have eaten them, and all of them say
that the meat is better than chicken.
Instead of the counties giving Il bounty
for their destruction, which has generally
proved failure. let all true patriots come
to the front and assist in demonstrating
that gray gophcrs are an article OF diet
fit for human beings,

one who has not witnessed the sudden
taking away of a devoted mother from

The children so recently bereft- those
to whom age has given faculties to fully
understand their loss seem to yield un-
complainingly to the sad fate which has
taken their best earthly friend, and they
are comforted by the thought that they
were always kind and obcdentt to mother.
Mrs. Payne was devotedly attached to her
