LITTLE TOTS DANCE AND
SING FOR WOUNDED MEN

ATLANTA, May 6.-Little tots less
than five years old sang and danced
for the entertainment of the wound
ed soldiers at Fort Mcpherson, the
other night, putting on a program that
brought shouts of laughter and roars
OF applause from the boys, all of whom
bear the scars of battle against the
Huns. The children were from the
Temple kindergarten and only few
weeks ago gave somewhat SINH
liar entertainment for the soldiers
at Camp Gordon.
Many of the wounded veterans
were brought into the auditorium in
wheeled chairs, their drawn faces
showing signs of the suffering they
had undergone, but they lost their
oreariness when the little folks began
their antics and by the time the pro-
gram was ended every khaki-clad
veteran had forgotten his pain, at
least temporarily.

When Captain James w. English,

read this citation. he put on his hat
and walked out to the booth where
Corporal Lockwood was selling bonds,
and put his arm around the young sol

In addition to this wounded soldier

WOMEN VOTERS
TOAD ATLANTA
CLEANUP MOVE

ATLANTA, May 6.-Atlanta's great
and growing movement for a complete
change in the city government I'M
doubtedly will be strengthened by the
privilege granted to the women to par
tlcipate in the city white primary.
This step was taken Saturday by the
city executive committee and has
created a profound sensation through
out the city. The ladies only went to
the comittee about ten days ago
with their request to be allowed to
vote in the city white primary. mas
much as this primary is held by au-
thority of sort of "gentlemen's
agreement" among the white voters
of the city, and not by authority of
any laws on the subject, there was
nothing to prevent the women from
Votlng-provided the committee was
willing. Somewhat to the surprise of
even the ladies who presented the
matter to the committee, their request
was granted.
That Atlanta's city government has
lost confidence with the public was
clearly demonstrated n the result of
the recent election on proposed bond
issue Of $1000,000 and a proposed in
crease of the city tax rate from $1.25
to $3.50 per $780, Although the bonds
were urgently needed for purposes
which could not be questioned, at least
In so far as the waterworks depart
ment was concerned, the voters de-
cl1ned to authorize their issuance. And
while an increase of the city tax rate
was clearly needed to improve the
schools, the voters likewise turned this
proposition down.
Now that the women will be per-
mitted to vote in the city white pri-
mary for the election of mayor and
council as well as other officials, it is
believed that the movement for new
city government will be greatly
strengthened. The omen of atlanta
the southeastern division of the Uni
interest in municipal affairs and
nothing less than a thoroughly up-to-
date and efficient city administration
of the city government will satisfy
them.

Suspending the
Local Newspaper

owing to the high cost of paper
and labor and the fact that the busi-
ness men of this section fail to ap-
preciate local newspaper, we have
decided to discontinue publication,
and this will be the last ISSUE" says
the Optice Of Pine Hill, N. Y.
That is the way the newspapers
have been doing for many moons,
and newspaper directories say the
past year marked the death Of 1854
papers and the launching of IT'S new
printing enterprises. In many cases
the paper suspends and the manage
ment continues the business of job
printing. +.
Pine Hill, N. Y. lis a town about
the size Of Blackfoot and after trying
for twenty-seven years, the paper
suspends. In our little western
towns If we do not have two or three
papers, somebody is invited to come
in and start a real one. Somebody is
expected to start daily If there is
chance to keep 1t running for a
few months without levying an as
sessment, and when it comes to as
sessing the various promoters or
owners, the management begins to
curtail expenses and then the paper
comes out with less and less news
until the final obsequies, when it is
laid to rest.
The number Of weekly papers in
the Unitel States now is 1875.

Il Bit of france
(: and French 4:
BY Mrs. Byrd TregO.

There is an interesting article in
the Bookman for January on slang
words and phrases created during
the war by the soldiers. | want to
quote for you the first paragraph.
A very interesting by-product of
war is the abundant crop of slang
it brings forth. When men are with
drawn in masses from their usual
occupations and surroundings and set
to new tasks in a strange environment
they instinctively grope for new
words and phrases, new symbols and
metaphors to express the change. The
new vocabulary changes and length
ems as the war goes on, and the
longer it lasts the greater the Tiki
hood that some of the new express
sions will become permanent addi-
lions to the language. Only time
can tell which of them will endure.'~
The writer speaks of number of
slang words and phrases that be-
long to languages we do not UNDER
stand. Then he reaches poilu and
boche, claiming them as the most
famous, having become part of the
every day vocabulary of all the allied
nations. The word poilu is not
especially new, but its applications
to the French private originated dur
ing the war. 1t means courageous,
strong, man with nothing weak or
eliminate or yellow about him. When
the poilu said at Verdun, They shall
not pass" and lived up to it, proof
was given that the man or boy was
deserving the name,
The origin of boche is rather OBJ
scure. 1t seems to mean hard headed
in the French application, while a.
middling English word boche is the
same in significance as our word
botch, which means bungling, un-
skillful workman or his product. So
1t Is term of reproach any way one
takes it. The Germans themselves
are taking 1t very seriously. The
German language contains no equiva-
lent to the word.
The bayonet was called the tooth
pick, the field kitchen, bomb thrower
or bean shooter, tough meat,
pneumatic tires, brandy barbed wire.
The most dangerous shells we're
often called harmless words or diplo-

Pale in the legs was said for

words, but there was none for meat,
because that article of food was not
offered them. Pipes and cigarettes
were smoking chimneys and fires

proach Of the guard.
Guns were bankers, groaners, glori-

Southern Idaho Working
to Exterminate Rodents
Ii has Been Proven That Ground
Squirrels Need no Longer be
Dreaded Pest
solution FOR KILLING

| Practical demonstration show.
that the ground squirrel pest il
southern Idaho can be controlled
| Two hundred sixty thousand eighty
six acres of land were treated with
estimates of the farmers benefited
1 Sl,16S,074 worth of crops were saved
at cost of $3O,924. In one county
the farmers estimated a saving OF
$4,000 for every dollar expended
and in this county the county com.
missioners have increased their ap-
preparation for this work. of poison
ing squirrels from $500 for 1918 to
\ $500 for 1919. This work was
carried on under the direction of the
farm bureau, cooperating with the
biological survey of the United States
department of agriculture.
With the possibility of an early
4 spring, the ground squirrels will be
making their appearance very soon.
Except during Information, all times
are good to exterminate the squirrel.
There is but one best time, however,
and that is the very first moment it
appears above ground from hiberna-
tion. Strike them unrelentingly and
tpersistently, as these animals are ex-
tremely hungry at this time and are
readily poisoned.
The following formula for the pre-
paration Of the poison has been sue
cessfully used
/. Mix thoroly one ounce of strych-
nine alkaloid (powdered) and one
ounce baking soda Zone heaping
tablespoonful.)
2. Sift this into three-fourths pint
of thin, hot starch paste and stir to
a creamy mass. The starch paste
is made by dissolving one heaping
tablespoonful of dry gloss starch in
little cold water, which is then
added to three-fourth pint of boil
ing water. Boil and stir constantly
until a clear, thin paste is formed.
Add one-fourth pint (eight table
spoonfuls) heavy corn syrup and a
tablespoonful of glycerine and stir
thoroly.
8. Add one-eighth ounce Gone
teaspoonfuD saccharine and stir
thoroly.
4. -FOUR tnlS poison solution over
twenty quarts Of clean oats and mix
thoroly so that each grain of oats
is coated. Prepare it twenty-four
to forty-eight hours before using.
For mixing small quantities, an Or
binary galvanized wash tub is con-
venient. For larger quantities.,
tight, smooth box or wagon can
vas may be used and mixing may be
done with a shovel or by thoroly
shaking.
5. A teaspoonful of the poisoned
oats should be placed near each
ground squirrel hole on clean hard
ground, letting it scatter slightly as
it falls. (Placed in this way, it will
not endanger stock.) Do not put the
poisoned grain in the loose dirt of
the mound or into the holes. Each
quart of the poisoned grain is suf-
ficient to treat about sixty holes.
