do the advocates of prepared

that the present frenzy will
subside when the war is over
and the exhausted nations turn
to peaceful pursuits. 1t is now

Eradicating the
Ground Squirrel
By A. r. HENDERSON
BY A. p.

Six species of rodents occur
in North Dakota which have
proved 80 detrimental to the
farming Interests thattheir con-
troll or determination. becomes
of pressing Importance. The a
verge annual loss to the farm
ers in North Dakota from the
depreditations of these animals,
according to avery conservative
estimate, amounts to more then
a million dollars while probably
in dry years this loss is more
than doubled.
This makes a serious drain on
the farmers, particularly in
those parts of the state where
these animals are abundant.
The loss thus occasioned often
makes the difference between
a comfortable profit Or aheavy
loss on the years crops.
The presence Of ground
squirrels has proved to be one
of the most serious drawbacks
to the settlement Of newer
regions Of the state and is q

cases an increasing source az

Some merchants have an idea
that as soon as the holiday
business rush is over they must
let down considerably in their
advertising. That is a mis-
take, for while it may not be
necessary to advertise SO freely
as before the holidays, it is
good business to continue ads
in the local paper. Unless he
does this every merchant will
have left on his hands that he
must carry over to the next
Christmas season. Judicious
advertising in which bargains
are offered will get rid of most
of that stock and will also keep
business up to a fairly even
point Hillsboro Banner.

PREPAREDNESS"

In the last analysis, the ad-
minist ration's preparedness
program is no more nor less
than silly drivel. We III ask
ed to prepare with an army
and a navy sufficiently formula

the face of the earth. The
"other nation becomes alarm
ed. duly coached by the MUM
tons trust. over the tremend-
GUS "preparedness' of Uncle
Samuel, and forthwith proceeds
to build another township of
battleships. Uncle Sam, upon
the friendly suggestion of the
munitions trust, finds that his
navy is again wholly made
quate and another huge appro-
priation for preparedness is
demanded. The "other ma
ton obviously has to follow
suit. And thus the tragedy
continues ad libitum.
1t is high time for the COM
mon people, who pay for these
enormous war preparations out
of their own pockets, to assert
themselves.
With every formidable nation
in the world engaged in a death
struggle that will keep it out
of the fighting game for gener-
atoms to come, there is little
likelihood of the United States
being attacked by a foreign foe,
as is 80 direfully predicted by

gopher in North Dakota.
This is the yellowish, short
tailed animal which ranges
westward from the western
border of the Red River valley
to the Missouri River. thence
north aud west into Canada
and Montana.
The damage which they do
to the grain fields by eating the
seed grain and later cutting
down the growing stalks and
eating the ripened grain, il so
we'll known to North Dakota
farmers that it is unnecessary
to describe it in detail here.
They also are proving es-
pecially destructive to corn and
alfalfa and in this way are
seriously interfering with the
introduction and successful Gull
ture of these two valuable
crops.
Two other ground squirrels
occur. The striped or thirteen
lined ground squirrel ranges
over the entire state, a paler
geographic race occurring in
that part of North Dakota west
of the Missouri River. The
Franklin ground squirrel is
found along the Red River and
it's tributaries, at Devils Lake,
in the Turtle Mountains and
west to the Mouse River. These
two latter forms are capable of
doing much damage where a
bundant. The name gopher
should not be applied to any
of these three species of ground
squirrels but should be reserv-
ed for the true pocket gophers.
The reason for this is not a
matter of sentiment but be-
cause the methods of control
ing ground squirrels and
pocket gophers are radically
different. This misuse of names
leads to confusion regarding
the proper methods of COMBAT
ing these pests. This has caus-
ed the waste of much time,
money and effort in the past.
Two species of pocket gopher
inhabit North Dakota. The
Mississippi Valley or Prairie
pocket gopher which is brown
H. color occurs in the Red
River valley and in places does
damage in orchards, meadows,
alfalfa fields and to potato and
other vegetable crops. The
North Dakota pocket gopher,
a smaller gray form, ranges
from the western border of the
Red River valley westward
through the state doing similar
damage.
Prairie dogs are found in
places west of the Missouri
River where they cause con.
siderable loss and inconven-
fence to the stockmen and
farmers.
Methods of determination
will be treated in next weeks

HAVING A GOOD TIME.
Young Persons Should Learn There ls

Young Persons Should Learn There ls
 a Serious Side to Life.
 Many young persons think of little except how they can have a good time. If there is work to do it is only some thing in the way to be got rid of as soon as possible, no matter how. They think they can live as the butterfly does when in its glory. To find some thing entertaining, to be amused, is all they think of.
 This is natural, and it is we'll that they can look on the bright side of life. But they should know also that life is not all play. There are duties to be performed, and real happiness comes only after work we'll done. Happiness is not found when sought as the chief thing in life.
 Entertainments cease to entertain. The clever companion does not please ties of character back of the clever ness. Work is the blessing of man. kind. There ought to be some earnest purpose, some worthy aim in the heart of every one.
 Live not for the present moment Live to be and do. There are conse- quences to all our acts. Folly sown brings bitter harvest which none can escape reaping. There are innocent joys to which all, especially the young, are entitled. But it should be learned that living to some worthy purpose brings the truest enjoyment.-Milwau kee Journal.

 armed His Opponents.
 In his book "Why Men Pray" Dr. Charles Lewis Slattery retells one of Henry Drummond's old stories to illus trate his point that prayer produces a sense of human fellowship.
 "One Sunday night on an ocean steamer a man spoke of a hymn which had just been sung as having for him peculiarly sacred associations. He was in the Confederate army in the Amer ican war between the states and was ordered at one time to lonely sentry duty. As the night wore on he felt his danger, and to keep up his courage he began to sing
 Jesus, lover of my soul, and after uttering the great prayer of this hymn he was comforted and felt quite safe.
 "A strange expression came over the face of fellow passenger on the ship. T. he said, was in the Union army that night and had been sent out with party of scouts. We saw a sol itary sentry, and my men had their rifles leveled to fire, but just then we heard the clear notes ringing out in the stiffness

Matter of Sentiment.

What makes you go in through the kitchen?" ....-.. ..e
 Il don't know your servants very we'll" replied MT. Cumrox. "Somc way, the front hall seems kind of for mal and distant. Around at the kitchen steps they've got an old doormat with Welcome on it."-Washington Star.
 Knew Just How.
 Many years ago in Paris, at the first presentation of a tragedy that had for It's closing scene the murder of Swed- ish king which had taken place nearly half a century earlier, all went well till the murder scene came on, when a very dignified old gentleman in the stage box called out angrily:
 Absurd! They've got it all wrong"
 The manager himself heard this plain spoken comment, and, being naturally disturbed by so sweeping a condemna- tion, he sought out the critic and po- litely begged to know what fault he had to find with it.
 "Why, my good sir," cried the old man, with an air of authority, ''the whole grouping of the scene is incor rect! You have made them kill the king to the right of the door, whereas we murdered him on the left!'

The Wild Camel of Spain,

Who would imagine that there are wild camels in Spain, and in a part of Spain which is flooded during a great part of the year? Yet the thing is vouched for by the authors of "Unex- plored Spain." The explanation is that "the animals were introduced to Spain in 1929 by the Marquis of Villafranca, with the object of employing them in transport and agriculture, as they are commonly used on the opposite shores Of Africa. But local difficulties en- sued, chiefly arising from the intense fear and repugnance of horses toward camels, which resulted in numerous accidents, and eventually the bactrians were set free in the marisma, where in they have since lived at large and bred under wholly wild conditions"

THE WHITE HOUSE
Its Architectural Restoration by
 Charles Pollen Mckim.
VAST CHANGES WERE MADE.

The Interior Was Practically Remade, and the Greatest Care Was Bestowed Upon Even the Minutest Details-A Criticism and Story.
 The White House, the work of the architect James Hoban. burned by the British in 1792 and restored and com pleted by Hoban about 1880. remained with little change in its condition un. til about 1865 From this period un. til the administration of Theodore Roosevelt there were constant changes in the interior. made on authority of the presidential resident. which de- stroyed the fitness and dignity of this beautiful building Roosevelt soon after he became pres ident selected Charles Pollen McKim to restore instead of to enlarge the building.
 McKim gave his whole attention to design. from the broadest principles controlling the relations and unity be- tween the larger elements of halls and rooms down to the minutest details of mantels, stucco ornaments and light ing fixtures.
 The broad principles of the work consisted in restoring the terrace on the east, removed during Grants ad ministration; removing the green houses and propagating beds. remov ing the presidents public offices from the residence to a separate structure. restoring the interior from the ground to the roof and refurnishing the prin cipal floor.
 While McKim was maturing his de, signs and the drawings were being made the building as it existed from the ground to the roof was being torn out, leaving only the walls. windows and upper floors.
 As the work progressed McKim gave each detail his attention us 1t went into place. He did not hesitate although the time was so limited. to alter or change details which he found did not appear just as he had expected This seeking the best results was we'll illustrated in finishing the private dining room. The molded panels and
 cornices of this room McKim thought
 were too coarse in scale when he saw
 them on the wall. He had portions
 of them made more delicate. New
 holdings were made and put up. then
 others. until he finally selected those
 most appropriate.
 The new holdings threw cornice or
 naments and the center out of scale
 and these had to be removed and Oth
 CTS secured after several trials before
 he was satisfied with the room as a
 harmonious composition.
 It was necessary to build structure
 for the public office separate from the
 residence. McKim determined to place
 this at the end of the west terrace,
 making it one story in height, no high
 CT than the terrace, thus making it fin
 every way subordinate to the main
 building. While he considered it a
 temporary building, it contained all the
 office rooms needed for the conduct of
 the presidents business. McKim's hope
 was that an adequate office building
 with stately apartments, for diplomat
 ic and other functions might be built
 some time in the near future facing
 the capitol at the executive mansion
 end of the avenue. thus restoring the
 original idea of reciprocity of sight be
 tween the executive and legislative
 branches of the government

 much ridiculed because 1t did not com
