County politics have hardly started
TO simmer and the pot is not likely to
reach the boiling point until the array
of republican candidates already in
the field are confronted by their
opponents of the campaign represent
ing the democratic party. By the
time another week rolls around, how
ever. The bubbling and %sputtering of
the ''mulligan' may be looked for as
with the return yesterday to the city
of Chairman John Mahon of the DEM
ocratic county committee whose sick
ness in Fargo for a week has upset
the plans of the committee there is
pretty sure to be something doing.
1t is understood that a meeting of the
county committee has been called to
convene here tomorrow afternoon and

TO START GOPHER WARFARE

The suggestion from j.. W..
Aaw, who is one Of the field agents
Of the better farming association in
this county, that a concerted move
ment be made by Cavalier county
farmers during the last week of MAY,
May 22nd to 9th, for the killing off
Of as many gophers az possible before
the breeding season commences.
From statistics and estimates gather
ed it is shown that the killing off of
one hundred gophers during the last
week in May mean that there will
probably be one thousand less of these
destructive pests TO despoil the crops
of the farmer when it is ~ripening in
the fall. Mr.. Haw reports that in
each Of the western tiers of townships,
farmers through t~heirtownship and club
organizations, are Thoroughly united
for a war of determination against
the gopher this summer and if the
suggestion of a gopher week the lat
ter part of this month is acted upon
much will be accomplished to make
the job a successful one Throughout
the county, from the western boun-
dairy, to where the timber belt is
reached on its eastern limit, poisoned
grain will be fed to the gophers on
every quarter section of farm land
that is under cultivation. In the
aggregate SIS, 600 has been expended
AN the purchase of strychnine used in
the preparation of poisoned grain.
last year, when under the direction
of a representative of the department
of agriculture from Washington, d.
c., a trial of this formula for the
destruction of gophers was given its
first test in this county, the strychi-
aine was purchased for SIS cents per
ounce. Early this spring when work
was started preparing the poisoned
grain for the seasons campaign, the
yrice had advanced to 80 cents, and
had further advanced to $1.25 per
ounce 10y the time that all was needed
had been secured.

Dress and Fashions.

There are three cardinal principles
among the dressmakers, milliners and
designers who set the fashions of the
world:
Make the fashions this year SO that last
years apparel cannot be made over.
Do not make the materials too durable.
Make the styles attractive.
