GOVERNM ENT Is AFTER
 ARIZONA PRAIRIE DOGS.

Carefully conducted tests have re
 gently proved that from 10000 to 15. GOO prairie dogs are being killed daily at cost of about one-quarter of cent each by the field forces employed by the United States biological survey in Arizona. It is possible that the work of controlling rodent pests may be very considerably extended owing to the great need for increased production of crops and live stock. The government wishes to aid every farmer and stock man who is suffering losses from this pest and valuable assistance may be rendered by reporting any losses rela- tive to the growing of crops and the production of forage for live stock to D. A. Gilchrist, of Flagstaff. Ariz.. who is in charge of such work in Arizona

It is worth, to a man between the ages of Fl and 80, more than a box ticket to a season of grand opera, more than 8 yard long ticket entitling one to a trip around the world, more even than a front seat ticket to a national presi dential convention.
