CENTURY OLD HOMES.

Mount Olive, Jan. 7.-One of the oldest residences in Arkansas is To- cated at this place on the Landreth brothers farm on White river. It was built in 1903 by Jehoda Jeffery, great great grandfather of Richard Jeffery, who now lives here. The house was constructed of heart pine logs, which are apparently as sound today as when they were laid. It still is used as a dwelling. Another house con- structed in that year is located at Norfolk, in Baxter county. It was built by Maj. Jacob Wolf and is own ed by his descendants.

MANY KILLED IN
 BERLIN BATTLE
Dispatch From Copenhagen Says Government, Professionally, Is
 Master Of the Situation.
(By The Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 8.-Several hundred persons have been killed in fighting in Berlin, according to 8 Copenhagen dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph. The government seems, at least pro- visionally, to be master of the sita ation.
 Field Marshal von Hindenburg is reported to have arrived in Berlin. The Spartacus element is reported to have plenty of weapons and street fighting is particularly sanguinary. The dislocation of telegraph service prevents anything more than meagre reports of what is happening in Ber- lin from getting through.

WORKING TO
ExTERM|NATE
RODENTS

/ Beginning on October 1st. there will
be an extensive poisoning campaign
against gophers and ground squirrels
carried on by the United States
Biological Survey, cooperating with
the State of Arizona and Santa Cruz
County. The poisoning of these pests
so prevalent in Santa Cruz County
farming areas will be carried on un-
til late fall and will be under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. Stanley P
Young, of the United States Biologi-
cal Survey, who will distribute free
of charge to all farmers of Santa
Cruz County poisoned grain to be
utilized in the determination of these
pests. Mr.. Young will also demon
strate as often as possible with each
farmer the use of the poison against
the ground squirrel, how to find the
gopher run from it's laterals that it
throws up in the ground, and likewise
how to plasc the grain in the gopher
runway so that the proper poisoning
of the gopher where found to be
working will be accomplished.
Poisoning campaigns of a similar
nature are being carried on in practi-
cally every county in Arizona, where
rodent pests are detrimental to farm
ers. During this summer an extensive
poisoning campaign was carried on in
the Northern Counties of the State
especially in Coconio County, where
the praire dog was so destructive.
AS result of the work done there,
an estimated saving to the farmer of
$500 per acre was brought about.
These rodents are annually costing
the tanner many thousands of dollars
loss in crops, and it is the intention
of the biological survey to carry on
poisoning campaign against them
until they are reduced to minimum
and the work of these pests as crop
Instructors reduced to practically nil
Mr.. Young will start with head
quarters at Patagonia, where he will
mix with poison something like 1920
quarts of grain and apportion out in
respective parcels to be given the
farmers. That part of the Huachuca
District in the Coronado National
Forest lying within the boundaries of
Santa Cruz County will be taken care
of in the distribution of the poisoned
grain among the farmers in said dis
trict by the U. S. Forest Rangers CO.
operating with the Biological Survey,
thus assuring the fact that every
farmer will receive allotment of the
grain.
After completing the work around
the Camille, Elgin, San Rafael, Son.
oita and Patagonia communities he
will move his headquarters to No
gales and work the river bottom
farms adjacent thereto. After COM
pletion of this work in Santa Cruz
County Mr.. Young will leave for the
Northern part of Arizona to possibly
help in the poisoning of coyotes on the
large sheep ranges before the lambing
period.
Should any farmer or group of
farmers desire any information con-
cerning rodent pests Mr.. Young will
be pleased to discuss any question
arising therefrom.
The headquarters of the U. S
Biological Survey are located in
Phoenix, where the State cooperating
with the County and Government con-
troll of rodent pests is directed by Mr..
D. A. Gilchrist, rodent pest expert,
who will be glad at any time to at
tend Immediately to any written re-
quests from farmers on questions
arising from time to time on rodent
eradication,

of the Wilson plan of league of nations,
and is quoted as saying: "The trouble
with President Wilson and Lloyd George
is that they do not know how to fight
prairie fire.
Senator Reed sits up nights to think Of
more things to say against the Wilson
plan and other Democrats are gradually
finding their voice to protest.
When the Pesident left New York on
his last trip to Europe he announced that
he would not come back until it was
yover over there, meaning, of course, he
was going to stay until his league plan
was adopted. In this case we have moth
ing to worry about, as the next campaign
will be over before he gets back, but if
Mr.. Wilson has any regard for his heroic
political statue he will hurry home and
throw strong guard around it, for his
own people are beginning to talk up in
meeting, and what they say indicates that
another ndol has been shattered.-Salt

Even the New York World, the stanch-
est supporter of the administration in the
American press, baked at the pesonal an
peal made by Mr.. Wilson to the votersN
last autumn to support him by electing
Democratic Congressman. Undoubtedly
this was the chief cause for the return of
a Republican Congress, the incident re-
acting on its author in way he probably
did not foresee. If Mr.. Wilson were in
fact Premier of the United States" as
he has chosen to call himself abroad, his
resignation as the result of such an cleo
ton would have been inevitable. It
would have been considered verdict of
recall, such as that adopted in some states
by which the people can remove an Off
Ger whose policy or actions are no longer
in harmony with those Of his constituents.

SUGAR AND PROHIBITION

The prohibition mandate will make it
compulsory for everyone to use souie
form of stimulation othe rthan alcohol.
Statistics show that candy has always
replaced alcoholic beverages in those sec
tons which have gone dry, and the con-
sumption has gone up in leaps and
bounds.
Sugar is one Of the most easily digest
ed foods. 1t produces heat-1810 calories
per pound. Heat is form of energy.
Sugar, tea, coffee, candy and non-al-
coholic drinks will be the most popular
stimulants when prohibition is in force.
But the basic stimulant will be the sugar
they contain and any product which con-
tains sugar will be popular
Western fairness will have wonderful
opportunity to develop sugar beet grow
ing.
