POISON SQUAD TO
- - WAR ON GoPHERs

Garrison, N. b., April 20.-U. S
Elmer, all agricultural college
graduate, now in the poison squad
Of the federal government and
working under the direction Of
the North Dakota experiment
station, has arrived here to in
struct the farmers in the best
methods Of using the formula
discovered by DIR. w. b. Bell Of
the North Dakota agricultural
college, for the determination Of
gophers. The connection is dead
ly, but it requires care and ex-
perience in it's preparations to
make it highly efficient. For
that reason Elmer, who has work.
ed under Bell for two years has
been sent here to start the work.
The discovery of DR.. Bell is ex-
pected to- save the farmers of
the state hundreds of thousands
Of dollars annually.

An article in one OF the last
farm magazines gives the follow
ing as another coed way to get,
rid of goplers, especially if
they get into your field Of corn.
The article follows:
81 would suggest that ycsl
soak corn in the following solu-
tion and use 1T as Il bait: One
ounce sulphate OF strychnin''
dissolved in a pint Of boiling, wa
ter with an equal quantity Of
sugar syrup added and mixed
thoroughly. After soaking the
corn in this solution let it dry
and distribute it over the infest-
ed area. If the: gophers have not
disappeared at the time you
wish to plant your corn it will
not hurt to soak your seed corn
in the same solution for "a hours
Do not be afraid, this will not
hurt the seed corn at ALL"

You young fellows who have your eyes focued upon the bright lights and the gaieties of the big cities should get out your stub pencils and do a little sum in ad
 dition. If you go the way of others and drift to the city you will naturally annex a best girl" She will want you to take her to the theatre once @ week, and that will cost $4.00 for the tickets, $500 or so for the taxi and $500 or $4.00 for the supper after the performance. Then frequently she will want an auto mobile on Sunday and a car and chauffeur will touch you up to the tune of $2,00 to $3. % an hour. A box of candy and a few sodas Sundaes and a bouquet will eat up another $3.00, Your dancing lessons will cost you $30.00a sea- son, and a spiked tail suit will wipe out another $40.00, with your dancing pumps absorbing at least a V. Of course it's great sport while it lasts, but the first thing you know you'll be yelling your head off for the old man to send you car fare home and the price of a full stomach before you start. Yep, city life is great in more ways than one.

spirit? Everybody wants to see this town prosper, and we all want to share in the fruits of that prosperity. Even the fel- low who habitually sends out of town for his own goods wants his full quota of the riches that are accumulated through the thrift and husbandry of his fel- low citizens. Producing a n d selling the surplus abroad and then keeping our money at home by buying from home dealers will add many thousands of dol lars to the money in circulation in this community. It is the sure way of meeting prosperity with open arms and gathering in our share and a little more for good luck. Let other communi- ties support themselves. Our in- terests and our duty are at home. Let's keep prosperity in this town.

DETECTIVES AT HOME

While the country in general is considering what to do with our defectives. " it might be well for each community to look into the matter of defectives at home.
 Every community has it's own defectives. They flourish in all walks of life. If they are not defective in one thing they are in another, and a tolerant and passive spirit on the part of the puplic only encourages them in their offensive acts.
 In most country towns and small cities perhaps the greatest and most destructive offender is the character assassin. '
 With such people no woman or girl, regardless of her purity, is immune. When these character assassins get together they pick the women to pieces bit by bit, analyze their good points" as they would those of a horse, and reVel in the imaginations of a warped brain degraded and be- smirched with dust,
 Nine-tenths of the stories we hear from various women spring from just such sources stories without a grain of foundation, conceived in mind of evil and spread by the tongue of infamy.
 Let us look to the detectives at home. They may be few in number, but they are a menace wherever they exist and should be curbed with a hand of iron.

grow to maturity, and marry, and bring up other defectives in to the world. The world is full of them, and humanity is becom- ing more morally depraved and mentally warped every day. Europe in particular is deluged with them in high places, brought about by the pernicious system of inter marriage, and Europe is drowning in a sea of blood and distraction.
 What are we to do with our defectives? Are we to nurture them and send them forth into the world to breed other defec- tives, to serve as a canker in the mentality and morality of man. kind? Or should they be allowed to slip back into the mystery from whence they came?
 We correct the mistake of na- ture in all other respects by re- moving the menace in time.
 But what are we to do with re- gard to the greatest of all mena- ces to future generations?

A COzY PLACE TO REST
DETECTIVES AND HUMANITY

The action of Dr. H. J. Haisel- den, of Chicago, in refusing to preform a surgical operation for the purpose of saving the life of a defective infant has brought acutely before the people the problem of what to do with our defectiVes. It IS the burning issue of the day, the theme of discussion by millions upon mil- lions of people throughout the civilized world.
 When born the child was in this condition: It had but one ear; it had no neck, the base of the skull being about even with it's shoulders; one side was para lyzed; it had a curved spine; on the left side it had a double kid ney connected to the bladder by one tube; on the right side it had no kidney; there was no opening to the lower intestine; it's ston- ach was dilated; it's thighs were abnormally large, it had a hem- orrhage in the spinal canal, in- dicating an injury or a diseased condition of the blood vessels; there was no passage way to the missing ear; it's brains was ap- parently normal, with the excep- tion of a hemorrhage on the left side.
 The performing of a simple operation would have saved the life of this child. but the sur geon, knowing the future that would await it, refused to oper- ate. A corners jury, consisting of a number of the most noted physicians in Chicago, found that he acted strictly within his rights and within the ethics of the med ical profession.
 Was this doctor a human being with great heart, who refused to prolong the life of this child and thereby condemn it to an ex- istence of helpless misery? Or was he a criminal in his refusal to preform an operation that meant life, though that life be worse than death?
 Hardly day passes but we read of crime committed by some person who is later proven to have been defective from birth. There is no punishment for such. They must be com mitted to an institution for the rest of their days, or be permit ted to run at large and continue to be a menace to all people with whom they come in contact. l Many of these defective people
