While the loot was small, the crime

Ousting Ground Squirrels

BY combating ground squirrels Idaho
farmers saved over $1,25O,OO0 in crops
during 1918. twenty-five counties and
4,O25 farmers cooperated in stamping
out the squirrel pest, and as result
277,751 acres were cleared of the
rodents.
1t is estimated that this ground
squirrel eradication work in Idaho saved
3 per cent of the total crops of that
state which formerly went to pay the
yearly rodent tribute. AS one farmer
phrases it, Il used to consider that the
squirrels had mortgage on 25 per cent
OF my crops, as they devoured one
fourth of all I produced. Now after I
have cleared my farm of squirrels |
harvest and save 100 per cent of all the
crops l grow."-Cheyenne Leader.

by Cathleen Pope, Queen of the Ice":

MARTINIQUE
The "Springtime Version" of Gus
Edwards grille revue "Attaboy" had
its premiere last Sunday night in
the Omar Khayyam Room of the
Hotel Martinique before an en-
thusIastic audience of more than
1000 persons. The production.
which was lavishly staged and COR
geousiy gowned, registered the big
gest hit OF any restaurant enter
talnment in years, there being a
riot OF applause from the opening
chorus to The anti-prohibition finale.
The most startling part of the
"Springtime Version" is the clever
antl-prohibition burlesque, in which
a chorus of beauties are depicted
as the various beverages that are
to be taboo after July /, ali of
which is set off by the humorous
slapstick antics Of bootlegpinp
prohibitionist, acted by Dan Healy.
The principal roles in this number
are ar taken by Mercedes Lorenz,
Maude Drury, Hazel Furness and
Mr.. Healy.

MI. Keesler's Plan.

According to the plan. as outlined
by Mr.. keesier, building and loan
associations OF the country would
perform for workingmen much the
same service as that for farmers by
the farm loan banks. Mortgages
made over to building and loan as
sociations. ii is suggested, should be
redisCountahle at federal reserve
banks. in order that these aSsocia-
tionS may render most effective serv-
ice The two difficulties which stand
in the way at present are that the
associations are not mEm berS of the
federal reserve bank system and have
no capital stock and reserve therein.
and that the reserve banks are de
signed for handling commercial pa
per. and no; mortgages.
The suggested solution of the first
problem is that special measures be
taken 10 protect the reserve banks
and that the second be met by limit

counted. As an alternative. il is
thought that the farm loan hanks
