Senator Poindexter has thrown his
hat intolthe ring, announced MS can
didaey, and proclaimed his platform. It
created small stir, other than a smile
of mingled surprise and curiosity. Re-
gardless of what Poindexter says, or
what Poindexter thinks, or what Poin-
dexter hopes, the fact remains that If
elected president, the successor or
Woodrow Wilson, his subserviency OF
the standpatters and his policies OF
standpattery would cause Penrose him
self to stand jaghast. His venom against
the league of. nations is now explained.
He cared Z, nothing for or about the
league. He was merely bidding for
standpat delegates in the national con-
vention of 1920, for even Poindexter
knows that it will be a convention OF
standpatters, by standpatters, and for
stardpatters. .. ~ ..
Poindexters candidacy completes the
roll in one particular. Every Pro-
gressive of the slightest Importance

In the list, among others, are Kenyon,

determines whether We are to have

II the day be hne and the grounding
able to see it's shadow, winter will
continue its sway the next six weeks.
II . cloudy, inclement day. too dark
for the grounding to see its shadow
then the backbone Of winter is
broken and springs advent may be
expected any day.
February 2 in this locality, was q
bright sunny day and the ground
hog would have no difficulty in see-
ing his shadow. several hours, and
from all indications 1t seems that the
weather condition has been foretold
correctly and the SHOWS that are

that have been withheld thus far,
are liable to come in the following

NOT A MATTER OF INTEREST

The interest to be paid by liberty
bonds to be issued in April is not
known. And we don't care.
We know the next and last liberty
loan will he whopper-probably
six billions-and that's enough to
start us preparing to raise it. Ameri-
cans with the reputation of being
dollar chasers won't pay a great deal
of attention to the interest of those
short term bonds because there is al
ways bobbing into the minds the
thought of the interest our partners
the Yanks-received on their in
vestment.
When our boys went into the
Argonne forest, st. Mihiel, Chateau
Thierry, Cantigny, and Beleau wood,
they didn't stop to ask the platoon
commander what bonus they would
get If they won the objective or ask
for guaranty against loss. They
sacrificed when they joined the army
and they were willing to make the
supreme sacrifice
Regardless of financial drains for
the government or for charity, it has
been pretty soft for us" and if the
government chooses to start it's last
liberty loan drive on the second an
niversary of our entry into the war
or before, you can bet your last dol
lar that the fellows who are wisely
shaking their heads and saying "It's
going to be hard job" will buckle
in and have part in the glory of
showing our fighters that the folks
at home are "bears" at big jobs
themselves.
It is not a matter of interest.

STRYCHNINE TO
KILL THE RODENTS
Farm Bureau Office Will
Conduct Campaign
START AT ONCE

/ County Agent M. O Monroe pur.
chased 1000 ounces of strychnine
last week for use in killing the ro-
dents on the farms this year. 1t will
be used in connection with about 49,
600 pounds of oats, and the battle
against the rodents will be waged
more successfully than last year be-
cause farmers know when and how
to use it. Just when spring breaks,
when the squirrels come out of the
long sleep of winter, when they are
hungry enough to eat anything that
Is eatable, when grab at some ker-
nels of oats will kill a dozen litters
and several generations in a few
minutes, is Drincely time to have
those few kernels of poisoned oats
in the right spot. The settlers are
preparing to feed them the oats this
spring not only when they are hun
cry, but when there is nothing else
to eat, and that will make for a
great shortage of squirrels in mid
summer.
Mr.. Monroe estimates that the
poison used in this county last year
saved $4,000 worth of irain and
it was done at cost Of only few
thousand. At a meeting of the
farm bureau of Bannock county last
week, it was stated that they had
used $4,000 worth of poison last year
with thirty tons of grain, and saved
something like half a. million dollars
worth of crops. FoH this year they
are providing $4,000 worth of poison
and are buying a concrete mixer to
mix the poison in, operated by an
engine. The folks down in Bannock
county have decided that they
haven't the time to stir forty or fifty
tons of grain with a shovel in tubs
and barrels. They are going after the
squirrels like the governments are
going after the cooties in France.
Does someone ask where they all
come from? The soldiers say the
cooties don't come from anywhere,
they are there. So are the squirrels.
