DON'T RAISE GOPHERs

Gophers are expensive animals to
feed. Better poison them. Most of
the counties in which the gophers are
numerous are putting on poison cam
paigns and thus getting most of the
gophers. They not only poison one
year but follow it up the second and
even the third year so as to "Get
EN- ALP, which is. the slogan in the
gopher game. To be effective the
poisoning must be by townships or
better yet by counties. By use of
the new formula the cost is only a
few cents per acre while the gophers
at the present price of grain take all
of at least dollar an acre. The
poisoning need only be done or
years while without it the gophers
keep on every year. For full in
formation write the Extension Div.

While Webster defines the
word armistice as "a brief sus-
pension of hostilities by agree
meDt," all the world knows that
the term is at present being used
merely as a camoufage for "un-
conditional surrender, " since
Germany in carrying out the
terms of the agreement by dis
arming her entire military force,
surrendering all of her subma-
rines, the greater part of her
artillery, navy, transportation
facilities, and border strongholds,
and also an enormous portion of
her territory, makes herself abso-
lutely impotent for any other
resistance against the carrying
out of whatever peace conditions
the allies may care to impose.
