 D. A Gilchrist, Rodent Control Leader of the Biological Survey and Agricultural Extension Service, made a field trip of inspection recently on the Sitgreaves National Forest. Here in 1916-17, tons of poisoned grain were distributed to kill prairie dogs, and today large areas have been com pletely cleared up. The old dog holes are now closed up, and for miles and miles the finest kind of gramma grass, knee deep, spreads out, awaiting the grazing of cattle and sheep. It is a most remarkable demonstration of what can be done in eradication of rodent pests.

that had not Italy thrown her lot
with the Allies and had she not
fought heroically and sacrificed
without stint Germany would have
won the war and today would be

in reaching her decision Italy was
hampered by Germany's intimate
control of her financial and business

"Fiume and pAnnunxio."

This subject is treated entertain
ingly in a lecture given in Paris by
Whitney Warren. The author ad-
mi.s enthusiastic approval OF Italy's
claims and it is easy to see that he
is not in accord with him who domi-
mated the American attitude at the
conference. and he quotes DAN
nunzio: There is on the other side
Of the ocean a free people. just and
generous: bQt there is also an
arbiter most tenacious, who having
preached justice does not hesitate to
practice injustice"
Mr.. Warren said: Il love my coun
try ardently and will not confound
its opinion with that of a clique OF
politicians upheld by a gang Of in
ternational bankers" He further
makes the statement that 'Fiume
win be free port belonging to Italy
or it will cease to exist"
Bold words and his eulogy OF
D'Annunzio reckons nothing Of the
personal ambition animating that
strange mortal who is presented in
the Light Of a patriot consumed in
the unquenchable name Of his
patriotism. Furthermore. one would
like more specific information re-
specting these bankers said to
manipulate all the mischief COM
planned of. 1t would seem that
reputable bankers would seek a set
tlement which appeared to offer per
manency, that therein would lie the
bankers advantage: and who are
the disreputable bankers: The world
should be given more specific in
formation respecting them and their
alleged nefarious methods. But
with regard to that "arbiter most
tenacious" why we all are well ac-
quainted with him and IL his tenacity
always held him to the wise course
we should have more respect for
him and might b able to UNDER
stand the frequency with which his
tenacity Of today ceases to be his
tenacity Of tomorrow.
While Mr.. Winters lecture really
throws no new light on tho Plume
muddle it is a glowing exposition Of
the spirit with which DAnnunxio's
exploit has animated the Italian peo-
pie. He makes it clear that the
prosperity of the port depends on its
being kept free and he dwells with
insistent effect on the fact that the
creponderance of the ports popula-
tion is Italian in spite Of all efforts
to colonize it: also that 1t Is and al
ways has been an Italian city. More
over, the latest advices respecting
the affair indicate that D.Annunzio's
