Preparation For Poisoning Columbian
Ground Squirrel


l. Mix thoroughly one ounce o.
strychnine alkaloid-not sulphate-
(powered) and one ounce OF COM
mon baking soda, Zone heaping table
spoonfuD.
2. Sift this into one pint of thin
starch paste and stir to a creamy
mass. The starch paste is made by
dissolving two tablespoonfuls of gloss
starch in little cold water, which
is then added to one pint of boiling
water. Boil and stir constantly until
a thin clear paste is formed
8. Add 1-3 pint (12 tablespoonfuls)
of any kind of syrup and stir thor
oughly.
4. Add tablespoonful of glyce-
rine
Add u ounce e teaspoonfuls) sac
charine and stir we'll.
6. Pour this poisoned solution over
20 quarts of grain, 10 quarts of oats,
and 10 of wheat, and stir until each
grain is thoroughly coated with a thin
film of. starch paste. If the skin is
not. broken the hands may be used ID
mixing. Wash them afterwards.
Z. One tablespoonful of the poison
ed grain should be placed at each
burrow on a clean hard surface, allow
ing the grain to scatter slightly as 1t
falls. (Placed in this way it will not
endanger live ~stock.) Do not put the
grain on mounds or in holes Pre-
pare u to "a hours before using. Each
quart of the poisoned grain should
treat about 40 holes.
Mr.. Yerrington explained that
strychnine alkaloid, not the more
common strychnine sulphate, is used
because it is more powerful, and is in
soluble in water so that it stands ex-
posure better and is tasteless when
the squirrel first takes it into the
mouth. 1t is soluble in the saliva, and
is absorbed into the blood, affecting
the nervous system. The small
amount absorbed from a few grains
carried in the cheek pouches is suffic-
lent to kill a squirrel. The soda has
the effect of retarding the dissolving
of the poison so the victim will eat

SQUIRREL POISON
MADE BY EXPERT
C. n. YERRINGTON OF GOVERN
MENT BIOLOGICAL SURVEY
SHOWS HOW
Formula For Effective Poison Grain
Demonstrated and Given
Publicity

The preparation of poisoned grain
according to a formula that has been
found quite successful in destroying
squirrels in this locality was demon
strated today at the Chamber of Com
merce meeting by c. M. Yerrington OF
the government biological survey, a
specialist on the destruction of animal
pests.
Mr. Yerrington said that the squir-
rel found here, the Columbia ground
squirrel, is one of the most difficult to
contend with. So far it has been
possible to get only about seventy
! per cent of them, but it is believed
that their natural enemies will do
much to destroy the remainder.
1t is not the purpose Of the govern
ment department of agriculture to dis
courage or oppose the use of commerce
ial poisons. It's purpose it to give to
the farmers the formulas that have
been found most successful in their
own districts after actual trial, and
to recommend only such preparations
as can be made at home.
Since the first trials of poisoned
oats were made here, it has been
found that a mixture of wheat and
oats is more effective locally. The
preparation recommended can be pre-
pared at a cost of $1.50 to $500 per
bushel, and is said to be at least as
good as the best commercial poisons.
Tests are still. being carried on at
the university farms, and any i'm
provements discovered will be given
publicity.
The formula recommended follows:

Women Helping Swell
Huge Army of Voters
Casting Ballots in Ills.

Chicago, Nov. 7. - BY far the
largest vote in the history of Illinois
elections is expected to be cast to-day
by reason of the fact that women for
the first time voted for President and
Vice-President. Promise of fair
weather throughout the State was also
counted on by party managers to aid
in bringing about n heavy vote.
Approximately 100000 voters have
registered in the State and party lead
ers estimated that close to 1900, 900
votes would be recorded, of which
number between 100000 and 100000
would be cast by women. The wo-
men, however, enjoyed only partial
suffrage, being permitted to vote for
President and Vice-President, but not
for State offices, except trustees of
the State University.
Chicago, with it's more than S00,-
600 voters, men and women, started
the voting in the State, the polls here
opening at 6 a. m. and closing at
o'clock this afternoon. Down State
the polls opened at 7 u. m. and will
remain open until p m. In order to
gauge fraudulent vote in Chicago and
other populous centers of the State,
civic organizations were prepared to
aid the party and election managers
by sending watchers and detectives
into suspected wards and precincts.
A full State ticket Is to be chosen.

Hughes Ends Campaign
Trained Like an Athlete

New York, Nov. Z. = Charles Evans
Hughes, entirely confident of being
elected President to-day, finishes the
campaign as probably the best trained
individual, physically, that ever made
Presidential race. He has preached
America first and America efficient
everywhere-and at the same time
done his best to live up to the idea OF
efficiency in his own personal work.
He is only trifie under the weight
he carried when he resigned from the
Supreme Court bench. His skin is
clearer, his muscles harder, his eyes
keener for the strenuous but carefully
mapped out life he has led as cam
paigner in probably the most vigorous
canvass for votes a Presidential candi-
date ever undertook.
Mr.. Hughes has lived as careful a
life as any athlete training for a foot
ball game and is just as coolly con-
fident of the result to-day as the head
coach of a college team would want
his eleven's captain to be.
In reality Mrs. Hughes has had lust
as much of burden to carry as her
husband.
1t was Mrs. Hughes self-imposed
duty to see at all times that the Gov
ernor was in condition; that he had
proper food; that his private car was
warm enough or cool enough: that he
had a place quickly to change from
perspiration-soak garments to dry
clothes after his speeches - and q
thousand other details pertaining to
his comfort.
Moreover, those who travelled with
the Hughes party very quickly knew
that the candidate placed a very great
deal of reliance on Mrs. Hughes as a
political adviser.
