ELIMINATE MOLES
FROM FARM GARDEN
Variety Of Traps on Market Suit
able for Purpose-Mice Are
Worst Offenders.

The best method of getting rid Of
moles is by trapping, according to DIR.
Lee II. Dice, instructor in zoology In
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
"While the mole disfigures lawns
and parks by throwing up unsightly
ridges and tears up roots of flowers
and vegetables, he does not eat roots.
tubers. or seeds, as is often supposed"
said Doctor Dice.
1.-The destruction of roots and seeds
Is the work of his uninvited guests
meadow mice, field mice. and common
house mice. These little animals take
advantage Of the mole's tunnels to pro-
cure roots and seeds as food. The
mole lives almost entirely on insects,
grubs, and worms found in the soil.
This frees him from the charge of
eating Seeds"
A number of mole traps are on the
market which can be used to eliminate
this animal from gardens, lawns, and
parks. Shrewdness on the part of the
trapper and some knowledge Of the
mole's habits are essential to the sue
cessful removal Of this wary little pest.
When the burrows have been crushed
in by tramping or other means, the
mole reopens them by throwing up
dirt from below. This action is made
use of in the construction of some
traps which are so contrived that when
an effort is made to reopen the tunnel.
closed by tramping, the trap Is sprung.
Mice, which do the real damage
often credited to moles, can be pOis-
oned by placing poisoned grain In the
burrows. The agricultural college
sends out, at cost, prepared poison
strychnine In a solution of sirup-
which can be used on shelled corn or
other grains softened by soaking In
hot water.

Celebrated Medicine Has
Done for Them.

IT is seldom, indeed, that men of prom.
inence, especially men holding high
public Office, willingly express their in
debtedness publicly to proprietary
medicine. Many prominent men, how
ever, including supreme court judges,
mayors Of our leading cities, prominent
state and county officials, bankers, law
yers, doctors, editors, leading educa-
tors, government officials and even min
listers of the Gospel have deemed it
their duty to come forward and tell
the people what Tanlac has done for
them.
These well-known men of affairs
have recognized in this medicine new
discovery and a scientific triumph in
the medical world. 1t Is a well-known
fact that these splendid Endorsements
have been given Tanlac time and time
again and they will continue to be
given just as often as new tests of its
powers are made; and 1t also explains
why numbers of the big drug firms of
the country are ordering it exclusively

Vet the democratic sheets talk of the republican machine trying to disrupt the Democratic party. Can you beat it? Such being the case. we may well ask: how can those men be Democrats and edit republican sheets with the same tone of voice that a Republican would use in lambasting the democratic machine? Well, they may be Demo- crats but according to our idea. they are branded differently from other Democrats we know of.

broken and his nose knocked so far

TN time the part played by the ltal-
ians will receive its full credit in
the history of the world war. Lately
the Italians have been fighting the
greatest battle ever fought in the
history of the human race, and per-
haps winning one of the greatest and
most decisive battles. The fighting
of the Italians in the APPS is a chapter
by itself. Gen. Cadorna's triumph on
the so-called Bainsizza plateau is said
to be due to the disbelief of the Aus
TRANS that the Italians would venture
so stupendous an undertaking. In a
recent issue of the New York Times
is a fine story of the Italian offensive
which brings a thrill of admiration
for these soldiers and their leaders.
The Italians have fought in trenches
cut into the glacier of snow-capped
mountain tops. Their engineering
feats have surpassed those of other
armies because, according to the
Times correspondent, ''the Italians are
the best engineers in the world" We
sometimes refer to the Italians as
"dagoes."

IF the war and the necessity OF
meeting the cost of it teach the
lesson of saving to the American
nation, the sacrifices will bring a
blessing in their train. We are not a
saving people, nationally or individ-
ually. The time has come when we
must change our habits. America,
like the rest Of the world, has got to
count its pennies from now on-not
only during the war, but after it. AS
a nation we have scarcely understood
the meaning Of the word taxes, but
we are going to learn something about
that word now. There is only one
way in which we can meet the bills
war is now making out for presenta-
ton to us. That is by learning to
save. But once we have learned to
save for war, we will find as graft
flying reward for our sacrifices that
we have learned TO save for ourselves.
Saving, of course, doesn't mean miser-
illness. Every man should live nor
NAL life of the comforts and enjoy
ments that his industry entitle him
10. Deprivation isn't necessarily
economy and saving can be overdone
If it narrows life to treadmill.
