HOW SNAKES HELP farmer
Valuable to the TiIier Of the

Snakes are Il valuable asset and
there should be campaign against

zine. The article goes on to show
what the snake does for food cOnser-
walton by ways Of killing rodents and
insects, the greatest enemies to grain
that man knows. The public has be-
scome acquainted with snakes as never
before, writes Mr.. Norton, because of
the thousands who have been engaged
in the campaign for war gardens that
has been conducted by the national
emergency food garden commission.
with this summer the millions of
war gardens have given the snake pop
ular interest Tremendously increased
tillage has brought people and snakes
together.
"Unless much education work is
done the number of snakes that will
be killed next year by the well-mean-
Ing but misinfOrmed gardeners will be
very large. Our snakes are national
asset worth many millions Of dollars
and should be conserved. The rela-
lion they bear to successful crops is
lmpOrtant-more important than even
the average farmer realizes.n

With the French Armies.-One of the
most striking examples of the mems
devotion to their officers in the records
Of the French army has just become
known, although it occurred on May %.
Among the units of French African
fighters are several battalions Of 10y
suif' youths whose records before en-
tering military service were hesmirch-
ed and who are now given chance to
redeem themselves on the battlefield.
During n recent action the Joy
suil" fought with remarkable ardOr.
Their motto is death is necessary"
Assailed by overwhelming numbers,
one battalion fought hand to hand with
the enemy until forced to retreat to
conform their line with the units on
the left.
1t was here on May 2S that a group
of "joysuil' saw their lieutenant fall
in q ravine. Four of them refused tC
retreat and fought off the enemy with
;grenades until one of them could shout
der the dead man. With the body or
their shoulders the four retreated TWEEN

of sleep. they tenderly carried theil

morning to bury him.

be put in place. There they were al
lowed to remain, nothing further be-
ing done. The bags lay about the
statues for weeks.
In the meanwhile there were several
air raids. Fortunately no monument
or statue was hit. On the initiative
of a group of citizens work on the pro-
lection of some of the masterpieces
was begun, and many historic pieces
like the Vendome Column, the Obelisk,
the Strassbourg Monument and the art
works in the Luxembourg gardens
were given some adequate protection.
Street urchins anxious to play "in
the trenches" climbed up among the
bags, causing loose one to slip, with
the result that thousands of bags fell
in an avalanche about many of the
statues. 1t was thereupon found that
the bags were filled with stones or
cllnkers.
Art lovers protested and called the
attention of the commission to the
fact that stones and clinkers afforded
no protection against German bombs.

Maricopa county Is over 100000 be-

To be exact the county has pledged
SlOO,265 in war savings stamps which
have not yet been bought by those who
gave the pledges and the county COM

man, is going hard after those who
have given pledges and who have not
yet fulfiued them. All such pledges
must be lived up to by the first of the
new year.
Many, possibly believe that because
an armistice has been signed and
peace may be a matter Of only few
months, it is not necessary to take the
war savings stamps for which they
subscribed
Such is emphatically not the case,
for the government at Washington has

money is needed and needed badly

MESA GETS MODERN
STREET SPRINKLER

MESA, Nov. 26.-The Republic truck
street sprinkler, ordered some time ago
by the city council, has arrived and
was given a tryout yesterday under
the supervision of C. f. Stromberg, or
Phoenix, manager of the Southern Mo-
tor company of that city. The sprink-
Ter which was purchased at a cost of
5000 seems to be just the kind of ap-
paratuS needed by Mesa. The streets OF
the town are so wide that it is an I'M
possibility for one or even TWO wagon
sprinklers to keep down the summer
dust, and there consequently has been
great discomfort. The cleansing of the
pavement recently put down on the
scented a problem.
The new truck has a sprinkling
spread of 70 feet, throwing an aOun-
dant supply of water to moisten the
dust, while the front end furnishes the
water for flushing the paved portion.
Pressure for the flow is provided by a
centrifugal pump on the left hand side
of the machine.
Mr.. Stromberg laughingly stated that
he had spent about all the profit on the
truck for kilograms in an endeavor TO
hasten the shipment. Three separate
times had the apparatus been com
pleted and ready for shipment when the
government requisitioned tie finished
sprinklers for use at army camps
