APLAGuE OF SQUIRRELS.
They are Death on the Southern Corn
Crops.
New York Post.1


New York Post.1
The farmer of eastern Texas, south
ern Arkansas, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, where great deal of corn is
raised, are already making prepara-
tons to protect their crops from the
hordes of gray squirrels which infest
the woods and all fond of young corn.
1t would not bother the farmers much
if the squirrels ate only one ear of
corn a day, which would seem to be
an ample meal, but they scamper from
ear to ear eating only the tender tops
which are easily reached, and in this
way ruin a good deal of corn, as it fails
to mature properly after the squirrels
have nibbed at it. The squirrels get
fat on the milk of the young corn, and
this very thing is their undong. AS
soon as the corn is high enough the
farmer and his boys begin circuit of
the corn field, as the squirrel does not
venture far inside When they see a
stalk shaking they walk slowly toward
it-there is no need to hurry--and
bring the squirrel down with a charge
of No. 8 shot. The report of the guh
sends the rest of the little pests to the
woods, to return within fifteen minutes
to the waiting gunners. and by sunser
the bag of each is at least two dozen
fat squirrels. which makes nice sup
per for a good family. The protection
in this way is not permanent for, in
spite of the fact that thousands are
killed every year. the numbers do not
appear to diminish to any extent. The
shooting keeps them disturbed. and
therefore the damage to the crop is

marked: Mary a woman from her

Simply because the cook of necessity
has been living in a moisture Laden at

aAnnRs PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

To many Ohio newspapers, most OF
shese independent, the fact that Sena-
tor Mark Hanna and his friends We're
In control of the republican convention
of that state is evidence sufficiently
convincing of Mr.. Hanna's intention TO
lecome an active candidate for the
next presidential nomination of the re-
publican party. The Washington COR
respondent of the New York Times
thinks Mr.. Hanna more likely to be the
nominee of the next national conVen-
ton than is Mr.. Roosevelt. The Boston
Transcript, republican newspaper,
says: Senator Hanna's position be-
fore the public is that of man who is
waiting for the presidential office to
seek him. In his public speeches he
says nothing that can be construed as
claiming or intending to claim place
in the eligible list for 1904. Still he
undoubtedly does a lot of thinking, and
it is not to be denied that there is
considerable element of the republican
party which will acquiesce in the nomi-
nation of Roosevelt than than welcome
it. With this element Mr.. Hanna holds
first place, and its calculation is that
ton, if he decides to make the running,
with powerful body Of southern re-
publican delegates that may win to it
support from other sections"
Thinking republicans will scarcely
lend voice to presidential boom for
Mark Hanna or assist coterie of time
serving politicians in any campaign
against the denomination of President
Roosevelt If Senator Hanna is wait
ing for the presidency to seek him thru
popular acclaim for his nomination he
will have long to wait. The
country at large does not want Mr..
Hanna for president and his nominal
ton would spell certain defeat for the
republican party. 1t is very likely that
Mr.. Hanna knows this quite as well as
other observers and is in his own mind
merely presidential possibility. He
is noted for getting what he goes after
and has built up this reputation by
foreknowledge of what he can and can
not get. He has not made admission of
any intention to attempt the nomina-
stion. The probabilities are that under
existing circumstances he does not de-
sire the uncertain honor of a nomina-
ton which would forecast defeat and
disaster to himself and his party.
Despite the politicians and in the
face of opposition by the trusts he has
antagonized. MIR. Roosevelt will be the
next republican candidate for the pres
dency. The people will force his re-
nomination and insure his reelection.
Tho he has as yet failed to win from
the country the simple affection it so |
universally gave to President McKin-
ley he has convinced 1t of his plain
honesty and supreme sincerity. The
people. will demand that Roosevelt be
allowed to carry out the reforms he has
inaugurated.

and a field marshal, and then COM
