1T is EASY TO GET ...
RID OF GOPHERS.

Right in the middle Of the worst
gopher infested part Of this state are
farms that never board a single goph-
er a week of the time. That is be-
cause the owners have learned sure
way to make their farms gopher
proof. 49,.
Gophers have a fatal weakness,
their love of sweets. They like sweet
things better even than the fresh
green shoots of grain in early spring.
The farmers know this and take ad-
vantage of the gopher's weakness by
keeping supply of ''Kill-Em- Quick"
on hand and whenever gophers ap-
pear, they use it.
Kill-Em-Quick is effective at all
times of the year when gophers are
not alternating. They will eat oats
or ground feed coated with it even
when the tender shoots are abundant.
For that reason it's effectiveness is not
limited to that period in the early
spring when the gopher cannot find
green food. No matter what time of
year gophers appear you can surely
kill them with "Kill-Em-Quick."
"Kill-Em- Quick is absolutely sure
death to gophers. Stir into oats or
| ground feed that has been soaked
over night and then drained and it is
ready to apply. It is easy to use and
guaranteed to kill every gopher for 1
cent per acre. If it fails, the makers
will return your money.
Gophers are costly boarders. Every
pair eats or destroys bushel of grain
year, besides raising three or four
litters of young. Kill EN- now. Get
"Kill- Em-Quick from Taylor Drug Co.,
Minot; Mccoy Drug Co., Minot, or
Wistrom Bros, Burlington.
1t puts the "GO" in poghers.

London, Sept. GA great crowd
gathered today to witness the funeral
of sixteen members of the crew Of the

Senate Takes Up
Owens Corrupt
Practices Bill

Washington, Sept. 6.--The senate
today decided, 81 to ID, to take up
Senator Owens corrupt practices
bill, which would greatly curtail
campaign expenditures and impose
heavy penalties for violations Of its
terms.
Seven republicans voted with the
democrats to take up the bill and
seven democrats voted against the
motion. There has been lively
fight against the bill during which
there have been charges and re-
ordinations from both sides. The
vote to take it up today does not
necessarily forecast delay in adjourn
ing congress. f'.
The senate took it up, having moth.
ing else before it, but administration
leaders said that in their opinion it
could not reach a vote. Republican
leaders insist that they would never
let ii reach one. ..-
1t was planned to adopt concur
rent resolution fixing the time for ad-
journment as soon as the revenue
conferees can indicate when they can
reach an agreement. Such a resolu-
ton would check any attempted fill
buster on the corrupt practices and
would end debate.

ing that recent reports current in
foreign countries that there had been
hunger revolts in Germany were ab-
solutely false. In fact, it is stated,
not one person has been killed in

been killed in Berlin, that twenty per-
sons had been killed at Muelhausen
and that the king of Wuerttemburg
had intervened to stop the riots at

of road is that on each side of Gretna,
for some distane where the roadbed
is excellent, but Sheriff Huttcr of
Sarpy county has a speed trap, and
drivers tempted into speeding are

them to put off their anti-speeding

ary force, General Pershing's soldiers
may join troops of the de facto gov
ernment in an offensive campaign to
exterminate the bandit and his fol-
lowers. This was the statement Of
General Funston this afternoon.
There has been no agreement be-
tween Mexican and American military
men for concerted movement
against Villa. General Francisco
Gonzales, Carranza commander in
northern Chihuahua, already has sent
a force against the bandit, last re-
ported in the Santa Clara canyon, and
if the occasion arises the American
commander might take part in the
pursuit.
THAT is ur to General Pershing,
said General Funston.
Army men pointed out that Gen.
eral Pershing entered Mexico to cap
ture Villa and that his object has
not been accomplished. A long code
message went forward late this af-
ternoon from General Funston to
General Pershing.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Prospects
for the adjourning of congress today
went glimmering when the house

This bill, passed last night in the

republicans voting for it, went to

At the outset the conferees en-.

make it improbable that final action

House conferees insist on the tax

Another obstacle is the senate's per.
