By G. A. PETHARD.

Many Of your readers have read or
heard of the mice plague. Not many,
perhaps, have the faintest idea what
it means. One must see the depreda-
ton caused by the mice to really un-
derstand the true state of things.
Carefully built stacks of wheat,
plumb and neat few months ago, are
now heaps of ruins. The tangled mass
of destruction is deplorable. If the
rag-gatherer had spread his wares
on the heaps it would be draper S
display in comparison. Practically
every bag has been destroyed, and
the scene is awful. Bags retilled SIX
weeks ago waiting for trucks have
suffered in the same way. Millions
of mice have been killed, and there
are millions still at large. For every
bag of wheat stacked there is easily
one hundred mice to devour it.
In the early stage Of the plague gal
vanized iron on edge was placed
round the stacks, and at intervals.
kerosene tins, half filled with water,
were sunk into the ground. The mice,
endeavoring to pass to and fro be-
tween the openings, fell into the tins
and were drowned. The method at
present is the invention Of Mr.. Eng
land, and consists of two rows Of gal
vanized iron, about three feet apart
and two inches in the ground. At
about every 80 yards (more or less)
the iron walls close to about six
inches over a large iron pit. On the
outside of each fence stakes are
driven on which bags are placed for
the mice to run up and jump or fall
into the enclosure. In the drive, de-
coys, consisting eff molasses and ami
seed, are placed in tins to entice the
mice to enter. In a short time sew
eral thousand will have entered the
enticing ground These are driven
like a flock of sheep along the drive
and either fall or are forced by a
broom into the pit. When the pit is
about half full cup of bi-sulph1de OF
carbon is sprinkled over the mice,
and a match ignites the liberated gas,
and in a few seconds all are suffo-
Gated. The dead mice are then SHOW
elled out into boxes for carting away
and the operation repeated.
The published statements of tons
and millions of mice destroyed are
not exaggerated. 1t is easy to COM
pute, and the figures, though as
are reliable. A kerosene
tin on a low average will hold $50
mice. and weighs "A pounds. A
nights catch of 100 tins represents
1000 and weighs one ton. During
the last week at Ultima, nine tons Of
mice have been destroyed.
Haystacks in the district have been

entirely ruined, and parts Of houses
rendered uninhabitable. Everything
in the eatable line must be protected.
Clothes and hats have been destroyed
in a few hours. So numerous are
the mice that flour and strychnine
one night in two adjoining bedrooms
accounted for $50. A man during his
sleep was robbed of the bread poul-
tice covering a boil on his arm and
numbers Of persons have had their
ears and toe nails bitten. Men en-
gagged on the wheat are now being
affected by the mouse RASH" Horses,
too, are suffering from the plague
OF infectious and tainted atmosphere.
Hundreds of thousands of new bags
have been used for refilling. Most
Of the good, and the whole Of the
destroyed, wheat is rebagged and sent
to Melbourne to be cleaned by spe-
cial machinery All the old bags are
put into bundles, and also forwarded
to the city for disposal-principally
to the paper mills Nothing is be-
ing wasted" as far as picking I'D
and sending away. AS a result of the
late rains parts of the uncovered
heaps are smouldering through spon-
taneous combustion. The loss, GOV.
ering wheat, bags, handling, etc, is
enormous, and it Will take months to
remove the remaining wheat and de-

PINEAPPLE DAY
TOBEFEATURED,
LETTERS SENT OUT

Hawaii has been given much pub
licity throughout the mainland on
Pineapple day of each year, and the
once more hammer on the subject in
song and story. In the past COVER
nors, senators and representatives
have featured the day, and the fol-
lowing letter to the mainland public
outlines the situation in 1917:
ITO Hawaii's Mainland Friends:
For three years you have cele
brated with us the now famed 'Ha'
waiian Pineapple day. which you have
largely observed merely by eating the
delicious product raised in Hawaii

years output of Hawaii, Uncle Sans
youngest territory, will be about q
100000 cases-canned. We would like
to have you eat the fresh pineapple
as it is picked in the field, but, Of
course, this is impracticable, but the
fruit in cans is just as sweet and de-
licious as the fresh pine.
We are again asking the railroad
and steamship companies, the hotels
and cafes, and the guardian Of the
household to jot down the date now
Wednesday. November IA, 1917-as
Hawaiian Pineapple Day., and cele-
brate with us. The menu cards Of
dining cars, steamship saloons, hotels
and cafes, always bear the slogan,

surprising what a large number of

yond enough to provide for the bare
necessaries OF existence, has nothing
TO do with it. There are QuarrelS and
chickering's in palaces, and peace and
contentment in novels. Whether mar

And the same thing may be said
about parenthood No one can deny
that children are a great care, a great
expense, and a great responsibility
and that they often are ungrateful
and Lnappreciative Of the sacrifices
their father and mother have made
for them.
But it pays to raise children, or II

do it. If man never shows his chill

father, who has chummed with his
children and whom they have adored

It is probably true that where an

Mrs. Harold Ferguson,

Dear Mrs. Ferguson:
At the close of the wonderfully
successful campaign for the Red
Cross War Fund | intended, in be-
half of the War Council, to send you
and your associates, a telegram of
thanks and congratulation for your
splendidly effective work. On retiec-
tion, however, | decided in view of
the nation wide extent of our organ
ization that it would be more econ
omical, and equally satisfactory, to
write to you instead of telegraphing
We OF the War Council are deeply
grateful to you, to your colleagues,
to the devoted men and women of
local Red Cross Chapters and Auxil-
iaries, and to every element and in
dividual in your community who aid
ed by service and contribution.
There is no method by which we
can reach the legion of individuals,
organizations, churches, newspapers,
jocieties, banks, companies and firms
whose united effort has provided
this great fund for humanity, and if
through your press and by other
means you can make public express
