A careful student of the rodent

from under setting hen. Their
method Of handling eggs Is also char
acteristic. An egg is as large for a
rat as a barrel is for man, and
much more fragile. Yet there Is evil
dence Of the fact that they pass eggs
along from one to another, although
not probably, as has often been re-
ported, by forming long lines, like

Pecan Tree Valuable.

OF the nuts which are in general de-
mand on the market the pecan brings
the highest price, so that some Of
these big trees which are good bear

In fact, it is doubtful if there is an
other kind of individual wild tree
which yields so much in dollars and
cents as one of these big trees. Large
pecan trees are known to frequently
yield half ton of nuts and the value
of the crop of a single tree may he

PARIS, France, Nov. 25.-A de-
termined effort will be made shortly
to shift the leadership of the League
of Nations from the hands of Ameri-
ca to European hands. AS provided
by the covenant of the League leader
ship is reposed in America. Provision
is made that the first meeting of the
League shall be called by the Presi-
dent of the United States, which OF
itself would give this country a pow
erful lead in affairs.
1t is believed here that when vari-
Gus societies favoring the League
meet at Brussels on December 1st, the
effort mentioned will be made, re-
jections by the United States Senate
of the peace treaty and League coven-
ant having given an excuse.
France, particularly, it is pointed
out, desires more prominent place
in direction of affairs in the proposed
League, but owing to opposition from
President Wilson, many French ideas
for the League failed to be incorpor-
ated in the covenant framed in the
treaty at Versailles. Now the French
feel that, in view of failure of the

covenant, and the manifest opposition

A fight would be held in some Sc

one of the participants would fall
bleeding at the mouth, and the crowd
would flee, fearing arrest. Settle

made after the danger of arrests was

NORTH DAKOTA
N on Partisan League
SOlOns Dissatisfied With
Their Own Officials Con-
sidering Their Impeach-
ment.

BISMARCK, N. D., Nov. 25.-
Omitted Press. .)-Whether an effort
to impeach three state officials, twice
elected to office with the Endorsement
of the Non-partisan League, but now
at enmity with the leaders of the
farmers party, will be made during
the extraordinary session of the
North Dakota legislature, opening to-
day, is a matter of speculation.
The legislature will be nom -parti-
san in majority. The officials who
may be attacked are: William LANCER,
attorney general; Thomas Hall, secre-
tary of state, and Karl Kositzky, state
auditor.
Opposition between these three Of
ficials and leaders of the league,
growing for some time, eliminated
last month when LANCER and Hall, as
a majority of the state banking board,
closed the Scandinavian American
State Bank of Fargo, N. D., against
the vote of the governor, third mem
ber of the board.
The bank carried paper for the
league and allied organizations and
was held by the banking board to be
insolvent because of alleged excessive
loans and farmers post dated checks
used as collateral. The non-partisans
declared this move was an attempt
to break the league financially. In
the North Dakota supreme court the
bank was declared solvent and re-
turned to the directors.
Matters to come before the special
session are: The federal suffrage
amendment; aid for farmers in drouth
stricken portions of the state, and
laws to facilitate carrying out the in
dustrial program inaugurated by the
farmers legislation last January.
