A farmer tells us that he has prac-
tically rid his farm Of gophers by
the use of gasoline. He carries a
bottle and a bunch Of cotton batting
with him while working in the field
and when he sees a gopher run in
to a hole he pours some gasoline up
on a wad of cotton and places it at
the mouth Of the hole and covers the
opening with dirt. The gas fumes are
heavier than air and go to the bot
tom Of the hole. In an attempt to
get air, the gopher comes to the
top of the hole and the gas does the
rest. Remove cotton in about half OF
an hour and Mr.. Gopher will be dead,
The plan will apply to many other
burrowing animals.

Wisconsin has more silos than any

best assurance that they pay is in

THE COW AND THE HOME

"WHERE there is a cow there
is a home,' is a quotation
worthy of being adopted as a
slogan by every one who be-
lieves in the North Dakota
farm home. The COW has paid
the household expenses OF
thousands of homes for many
years. The keeper OF a store
in a new settlement was but
voiCing what is true every
where when he said: Our
farmers who keep cows always
have money with which to pay
their bills, what is more, they
no doubt have a better living
and get more out of life than
do those who try to live from
the sale of grain.' There are
good COWS and inferior ones.
There are good homes and
homes that are not particularly
comfortable or inviting. Cows
that make a profit for the own
err certainly provide him with
a better home and life. Usually
the man who loves good cattle
will love his home and family
correspondingly more and will
desire good things for his
home. Good COWS will pay the
expenses Of the boys and girls
at school. Good COWS hold the
interest of the boy on the farm
and in the farm home. The

LOWLY LEPER'S
LOFTY MISSION
John Early Tells Why He Came
to Washington.
HE WANTS A NATIONAL HOME
He Says He Realizes He Is a Leper,
But That His Doom Does Not
Terrify Him-His Case AZ a
National Example.

Washington, D. C.-John Early, the
leper,~ placed under restraint by the
District authorities when he revealed
his identity at the fashionable Shore
ham Hotel, after a two days residence
there, told the story of how he moved
freely about in the best hotels and
restaurants Of the country, rode in
company with ex.Attorney General
Grey and his family, of Canada, on a
Canadian Pacific train from Vancouver
to Montreal, and rode up on Shore
ham elevator, rubbing elbows with
Vice-President Marshall on Monday.
81 know l am leper now" he said,
Il am resigned to my own fate. My
wife and children have left me, am
alone in the world. Ny doom does
not terrify me. But want my case
to serve as a great national example
and bring about the proper treatment
of unfortunates afflicted as l am.
Wants National Home.
81 appeal to Congress to establish
a national home for lepers, where they
may receive proper care and not be
shunted about and driven from place
to place as l have been. They are IN
happy treated thus, and a great dan
ger to the community at large. That
is my sole object in coming to Wash
ington-to attract attention to the cry
ing necessity of such an institution in
this country. My poor people, re-
fer to the leper class of which / am
one-are unable to care for themselves.
They are unclean in every sense Of
the word. They are menace to every
we'll person Placed under govern
ment care they could lead happier
lives and enjoy few pleasures. be-
heve there are thirty or forty lepers
walking the streets of New York to-
day This should not be.
The World Behind Him.
1.-THE John Early that was is dead
to the world. 1 have put the world
behind me. From now l am willing to
be isolated, to have the warning bell
of the unclean rung as l approach, to
feel that men shrink from me with
the world-old fear of the terrible dis
ease that has been laid upon me, but l
want my appeal to be heard.

THREE CHILDREN cREMATED.
Were Alone In House When Fire
Breaks Out.

Roanoke, Va.-Three children were
cremated at Pocahontas when their
home caught fire while their mother
and father were away. Wiley Belcher,
the father, was at work in the mines
of the Norfolk Colliery. The mother
left their little mountain home, stu
ated about a half mile from the tipple
of the Booth Bowen Coal Company,
leaving the three tots, ranging in age
from one to five years, in the house
while she visited a neighbor about a
quarter Of a mile away. The house
caught fire through a cause as yet
unknown and was burned to the
ground. Only the blackened bones of
the children remained when the ruins
had cooled sufficiently to permit the
frantic parents to search for traces of
their little ones.

AMERICANS OFFER
COMPLETE PLAN
Difference Between 1t land Mex
lean Proposal Slight.
NO OBSTACLE TO MEDIATION
AntilIa Incident Not Allowed To In
terrupt eeotiations-Media-
tors To Publish Core
spondence.

Niagara Falls, Ontario.-The United
States Government, through Justice
Lamar and Frederick w. Lehman,
presented to the three South Ameri-
can .nediators complete plan for the
pacifcation of Mexico. 1t is the same
in plinciple as that presented by tue
mediators and already agreed to by
the Huerta Government. 1t con-
templates establishment at the earliest
date practicable of new provisional
government in Mexico City, which
would conduct general elections for
permanent government
The plan, writtens by the American
delegates after consultation with the
Washington Government, is brief and
includes several counter propositions
of which the Huerta delegates will be
advised tomorrow.
From the mediators themselves it
became known that the differences in
the two plans are slight.
Gives Rebels Voice In Cabinet.
The new Provisional President
would name his own Cabinet, but men
virtually selected here would be
chosen by him. Constitutionalists
would have a voice in the formation
of this Cabinet, as at least two of their
party would be named.
The new government Would be given
formal recognition by the United
States and thus be enabled to float
loans and rehabilitate Mexico's
finances.
Already there is talk of 100000
600 loan to cover the multitude of obli-
cations arising out of four years of al
most incessant revolution.
Little work would remain for the
mediation conference if the Constitu.
tionalists accepted the principle of the
plan already under consideration.
The Mexican delegation made pub
lie extracts from their note to the
mediators, which brought about the
request to the American Government
for declaration of its Interpretation
of the armistice and its relation to the
Antilla shipment of arms. The extract
is as follows:
According to news published in the
press an hour after the Antilla had
been cleared without difficulty by the
fiscal authorities of New York, said
authorities received the general order
issued by the Washington Govern
ment forbidding the shipment of arms
to Mexican ports. This order shows
that it is the intention of said Govern
ment to show no preference for either
of the combatants in Mexico, and it is
natural to suppose that in the same
spirit it will consider it opportune to
give the necessary orders to the
American navy forces to prevent the
unloading of the war material in
Tampico unless it is thought prefer
able that the Mexican gunboats detain
the vessel and seize the contraband of
war. In this last case, the American
Government must not consider the act
as hostile to the American nation, as
the Mexican delegation places on rec
ord its governments most earnest de-
sire to avoid any incident which may
disturb the peace negotiations"

CARRANzA MAY
JOIN CONFERENCE
Reports Say He Will Agree To
All But ArmiStiCe.
HUERTA ORDERS BLOCKADE.
Said To Have No Strings A.
tached, AS Has Been
Thought.

Washington, D. C.-Unofflcial re-
ports say that General Carranza, chief
Of the revolutionary forces in Mexico,
was willing to participate in the media
ton conference at Niagara Falls on
condition that there should be no
Huerta government and that Mexican
internal questions should be consider
ed which concern only such affairs as
had been developed by the American
occupation of Vera Cruz.
Officials here would not discuss the
situation in the absence of direct in
formation.
The Foreign Office sent a note to
the legations notifying them that the
port of Tampico had been blockaded
by order of President Huerta.
Despite alarmist reports from many
sources, arising because of the ship
ments of arms to the Constituencies
at Tampico from United States ports,
there was no apprehension apparent
here in Government sources. Depart
ment heads seemed to be confident
that General Huerta would not attempt
to blockade the port Of Tampico
against the delivery by the Cuban
steamer Antilla of arms for the Con-
stitutionalists. The American State
Department, it was pointed out, was
fully satisfied of its right to prevent
such blockade of the port by Huerta's
ships.
In consequence of these develop
ments it was expected here that there
would be no interference either on the
part of the United States or General
Huerta with the landing of ammuni-
ton at Tampico from the steamship
Antilla. Admiral Badger reported
from Vera Cruz that Huerta's gun
boats were at anchor in Puerta Mexico
harbor and at Alvarado.
A big cargo of arms for the Consti-
tutionalists was landed at Tampico
while Admiral Mayo's flag lieutenant
stood by, but took no action.
The arms were from the Sushine,
from Galveston.
Notice was given the American Con-
sui at Tampico Of the proposed block
ade, so that warships could keep out
of the line of fire.
That there are no strings to Huerta' S
declaration that he will get out when
assurances of pacifed Mexico are
given was announced by Rabasa, of the
Mexican delegation. Huerta is will
ing to accept a provisional govern
ment
A fourth conference of Americans
and Mexicans was held. Subjects IN
der discussion were those developed in
the early meetings.
The mediators are said to be ready
to agree even with Carranza.
The proposition from the A B c
mediators to General Carranza merely
requests the participation of the Con-
stitutionalists in the Niagara Falls
conferences to settle the Mexican diff
iculty. 1t embodies no specific re-
quest that General Carranza discuss
either internal or international ques-
tons, nor does it even specify that an
armistice between the revolutionists
and the Huerta troops must be estab-
lished, according'to the version given
here.
