SAVE MILLION IN
IDAHO BY WAR ON
GROUND SQUIRREL

By combating ground squirrels
Idaho farmers saved over 1.250 900
in crops during 1918. Twenty-Five
counties and 4,025 farmers cooper
ated with the Biological survey Of
the United States department OF
agriculture in stamping out the
squirrel pest, and as a result 277,-
ISL acres were cleared of the TO
dents.
1t is estimated that this ground
characterization work in Idaho
saved at least per cent of the
total crops of that state, which
formerly went to pay the yearly
rodent tribute. AS one farmer
phrased it, 81 used to consider that
the squirrels had a mortgage on 25
per cent of my crops, as they de-
voured one-fourth of all / produced.
Now after l have cleared my farm
Of squirrels, harvest and save 100
per cent of all the crops I grow
In Bonneville county ia farmers
distributed 6,223 pounds Of poisoned
oats over 11,S71 acres, and as a
direct and immediate result saved
SAL ,265 worth of farm crops which
otherwise would have been con-
sumed by the squirrels. In the
eradication campaign one farmer IN
that county distributed poisoned
bait over one of his fields and less
than one hour later when he re-
turned to the field he counted 27S
dead ground squirrels, six rabbits,
and 10 rock chucks" which had
fallen prey to the deadly bait.

BILE diseases to the state have been
compiled and prepared by the state
department Of public health. The
statistics reach alarming proper

1t has been found by the state de-

loss To the people of the state
amounting to $I55, 900 900; this loss
being computed with consideration
of the cash value of human life, the
loss of time in productive labor,
medical and nursing care and the
cost Of human burial.
OF the various infections and their
cost to the people of the state, tu-

These figures are based on the year
ending July 1, 1918, and do not in
clude those Of the last six months
during which the influenza, another
communicable disease, has cost Il
linois countless thousands of dol
lars.
This estimate Of the cost to the
state of each of the foregoing dis
eases is said to be exceedingly con-
seryative, and to underestimate
rather than overestimate the true
facts. This loss is to a large ex-
tent avoidable through the creation
of proper local public health ma
chinery. The state department of
public health recommends the en-
ployment of a fun time medical
health officer and public health
nurses in each community of the
state, the establishment of infant
welfare stations, tuberculosis dis
pepsaries and other agencies which
have proved their usefulness
throughout the nation.

In consequence the federal gov
eminent has designated Sunday,
Feb. %, to be observed throughout
the United States as Health Sun
day" and the state department of
public health has sent communica-
lions to all clergymen in Illinois
urging a general observance of the
day.
The message to the clergy calls
attention to the fact that, outside of
the city of Chicago, the eXpendi-
ture for health protection, includ-
ing state appropriations, averages
only seven cents per capita, 1t is
~also pointed out in the communica-
ton that yellow fever, SMALLPOX

To Remove Unsightly Hairs
Other Aids to Beauty.
BY Madame Maree
Observation-Disclosures

Except the electric needle. there is
absolutely only one safe, sure and
painless way to get rid of unsightly
hairs and that is to dissolve them.
Pastes, powders and razors only
shave them off and in time they are
beard. Fashions now demand that
neck, arms and armpits be devoid of
hairs. Any woman can get rid OF
these unsightly blemishes in a few
minutes if she will but get from her
druggist one ounce of Sulfo solution
for one dollar, and apply TO the hairy
places. 1t will take just about three
entirely. leaving the skin soft an"
white without a scar or irritation OF
any kind.
Blackheads are another of the un
slightly blemishes that many women
are troubled with. Squeezing and
pinching do no good and leave the
skin full of holes The only way TO
get rid of the pes1y things is to dis
solve them Get nerOxin from your
tie on a hot, wet sponge and rub
brisklv over the blackheads; in about
a minute they will be entirely dis
solved, leaving the skin soft and
smooth without a mark of any kind.
ROughness and redness of the
hands can very easily be overcome
and the skin left soft and velvety by
using at night the following simple
cream lotion: dissolve one ounce of
store) in a pint of hot water. This
makes beautiful white satIny
cream and if used literally will soon
change a rough, red, spotted skin
into one of velvety. peach-like love

NO GYPSY MOTHS WEST.

Entomologists of the United
States department OF agriculture
who last fall began an examination
OF the cranberry boys of Michigan,
Wisconsin, and the Pacific coast,
which have received shipments of
cranberry vines from New England,
report that they find no evidence
OF gypsy moth infestations from
such shipments. 1t had been feared
that the moth had been carried on
the vines to the western boys. De-
termination Of the fact was neces-
sary in order to know what control
measures should be undertaken. In
that connection the department is
making tests to determine both the
resistance of cranberry vines to in
tensive fumigation and the strength
of fumigation necessary to destroy
the eggs of the gypsy moth.

By E. c. WESTBROOK,

Ten tobacco markets have been
opened in South Georgia and Georgia
farmers are getting an average OF
1872 cents pound for all grades, as
compared with IA cents pound for
farmers of South Carolina.
Some of the best grades are sell
ing for 80 to SO cents a pound and
some exceptionally well cured lots
have run as high as rs cents a
pound. On a whole this has been a
bad year for tobacco and the heavy
rains have done great injury. 1t has
been hard to keep it from getting too
"high in order" and the damp wealth
er has made it soft and liable to
damage when packed in hogsheads
for shipment. This has caused some
good tobacco to sell for low price
when if it had been dry instead of
soft it would have sold for great
deal more.
Fourteen warehouses have been
opened in ten towns and are located

PATH OF MAD RUSH THROUGH
SEVERAL COUNTIES WAS
MARKED BY CRIME.

COLUMBUS, Ga.-Four despera-
does were surrounded and captured
in a swamp near Cataula in Harris
county, this afternoon, where they
were trailed by a posse of fifty men
after abandoning a car late yester-
day. when Hamilton officials engag-
ed them in a running pistol battle,
one of the bandits being wounded.
The men stole a Winton six auto IN
Atlanta and robbed gas tank at
Palmetto Wednesday.
Arriving at Lagrange they robbed
a store in broad daylight, filling the
car with goods, later selling them
en- route to Chipley. At Chipley and
Hamilton the men exchanged shots
with citizens as they sped through
the two towns.
Hamilton officials followed the
bandit car and near Kingsboro gam
ed on the men sufficient to wound
one of them and to cause them to
abandon the car, which was pepper
ed with bullet holes.
The men all had revolvers and a
plentiful stock of cartridges. One OF
them is a boy of IS and the others
are about 25 years old. The man
who was wounded was shot in the
calf of the leg and his wound is not
considered dangerous.
They gave their names as Jack

FOREST FIRES ARE
DEVASTATING WEST
VAST ACREAGE OF THE TIMBER
LAND SWEPT IN TWO STATES.
LOSS REACHES MILLIONS.

Forest rangers fighting the great
fires of the northwest are facing the
worst situation that has confronted
them since 1910, when 5,OO0,OOO
acres of timber land was devastated,
causing the destruction of more than
5000, 100000 board feet of lumber,
big tree loss of $14, 889,742 and
ruin of more than $9,000,000 worth
of timber not large enough to cut.
This year indications are that the
acreage burned and the timber de-
stroyed will far exceed the former
record, though the loss of life, it is
believed, will be much less.
Continued dry weather, shortage of
labor in the west and activities of In
dustrial Workers of the World are
cited as reasons for the continued
spread of the flames in Montana and
Idaho. known as the Missoula district,
and holding the best of what remain
ed of the country's timber preserves,
once regarded as ineXhaustlble.
Trouble for Forest Rangers.
Unless rains check the spread Of
forest fires in the northwest it IS fear
ed the loss this year may treble that
of 1910, up to that time the heaviest
forest fire loss in the history OF the
nation. Lack of rain is proving the
most serious handicap for the forest
rangers. Next to the handicap from
dried up streams comes the shortage
of labor in the west. Fire fighters
cannot be found in sufficient numbers
in such an emergency as forest
fire.
The next handicap results from the
activities of l. W. W. agents, who find
their way into camps and cause serl-
Gus trouble by trying to foment
, trouble by persuading men to quit
their jobs or demand higher wages.
Failing in this, they seek to induce
the workers to clay down on the job
In several instances agitators have
been apprehended before they work
ed out their transportation and have
been arrested. In cases where they
have worked out their transportation
nothing can be done except to dismiss
the workers and send them, under
armed guard to the city from which
they entered the forest fighting SER

Last year Georgia had 1900 acres

the sales in the ten tobacco markets,

dence of the fact that we can grow
the crop successfully in competition
with the older tobacco states. Geor-
gia growers should feel encouraged
since, with practically no experience
in growing tobacco, they are leading
a section where it has been the prin-
cipal crop for many years.
AS a means of fighting the boil
weevil the tobacco crop has proven a
wonderful force along with other

Bond Issue Will Be Submitted to the

Following a mass meeting of citi-

electric lights in that thriving town,
Mayor H. R. Niece has issued a call
for an election to determine whether
or not bonds shall be issued for such
purpose.
The installation of the water sys-
tenn will cost $2O,5OO, and it propos-
es to issue bonds for that sum bear
ing per cent. interest and running
80 years to defray the expense. The
building of an electric lighting plant
will cost an additional $4,000, for
which bonds may also be issued, and
the two bonds proposals will be voted
