Gophers are said to be unusually
numerous in central Illinois this sea.
son. In some sections they are dam
aging the corn, while in Ogle county
some of the farmers have delayed
planting the seed until they could ex-
terminate the animals from their
| fields. Anton Piper, one of the pio-
neer farmers of Ogle county, poisoned
the gophers by the hundreds, soaking
corn in arsenic and leaving it in the
vicinity of their burrows. Farmers
say that the gophers eat the tender
blades of corn and are a greater pest
than the crow.
Hook and line fishing is now at its
height in Illinois and the sport is re-
ported to be excellent, except where
heavy rains have raised the rivers and
creeks. A small section OF central
Illinois was visited with an unusually
heavy rain during the last week and
the resultant high water in the fishing
streams has forced postponement OF
fishing. In other sections, however,
the sport is satisfying, black bass bit

the mecca of fishermen during the last
week and do difficulty has been expert
enced in securing a good-sized string.

Berlin IS Reported to
Have Approached Russia

London, Nov. II, 10 a. m.-Coinci-
dent with the news that every Ger
man soldier has been swept from Rus
sian soil comes whisper of peace
negotiations in the report from Petro-
grad that Berlin has approached Rus
sia with overtures looking toward a
cessation of hostilities.
Contrary to the German report that
the Russians had been checked on the
frontier of East Prussia, Petrograd
declares that brilliant success in that
region has been succeeded by an ac-
tual invasion of German territory. An
equal triumph is reported from the
other end of the long Russian battle
line. With Cossacks raiding within
twenty miles of Cracow, the scom-
mandant of which fortress has ordered
the civilian population of the city to
leave Przemysl is said TO be fully in

And, but he wore hairy cap,
No taller man, methinks, than
me.
Prince Albert and the queen, God
wot,
I(Be blessings on the glorious

Before us passed, I saw them not,

Your orthodox historian puts
In foremost rank the soldier thus.
The red-coat bully in his boots,
That hides the march of men
from us.
He puts him there in foremost rank.
You wonder at his cap of hair;
You hear his saber's cursed clank,
His spurs are jingling every
where.
Go to! I hate him and his trade.
Who bade us so to cringe and
bend,
And all Gods peaceful people made
To such as him subservient?
Tell me what find we to admire
In epaulets and scarlet coats,
In men, because they load and fire.
And know the art of cutting
throats?

This attack seems to be taking place

Nevertheless Paris seems we'll satis-
