FLYERS TO HUNT OUTLAWS
Cotton Plantations Planted In Defiance
Of Authority Seen Easily
From the Air.

The department of agriculture has
adapted the airplane to its needs. and
plans to have large fleet Of ma
chimes to serve the farmer. lumberman
and orchardist during the next six
months. according to an announcement
from Washington recently. says the
San Francisco Chronicle. The ma
chimes will be used to ind forest fires,
map out forest and other surveys and
to act as detectives to find outlaw
cotton planters In Texas. Arizona and
southern California.
Lieutenant Compere at Ellington
year ago investigated the cotton stu
alton. Owing to danger Of an lnva-
sion Of pink bollworm from Mexico It
was necessary to create restricted
safety zones where no cotton could be
grown. Certain outlaw planters In
land. surrounded by heavy forests have
defied the government and planted In
these districts. which are difficult to
fAd. The young Californian took
camera with him. cruised over the for
ests at 7000-foot altitude, and
snapped seven outlaw fields. The
fields were destroyed. Compere has
been released from service and will
soon return to California to organize
the agricultural aviation scout work on
this coast.

Attorney General McAllister today.
McAllistcr said assistants in his Of

He said that he already had conclud-
ed that the Legislature, which will
convene in special session next week
cannot legally change the election
laws to permit women to vote.
"The federal amendment which the
legislature is called upon to ratify,"
McAllister said, provides that wo-
men shall not be denied the right to
vote because of sex. While l have
not thoroughly gone into the ques-
ton it is possible that the Missouri
election laws contain other provis-
ions preventing women from voting
besides the sex provision which is in
the state constitution.
1T does not seem to me that the
Missouri Legislature can enact laws
to put into force the federal amend
ment until such time as the amend
ment becomes law through ratifica-
ton by the proper number of states"

was leased for a headquarters. By the
terms Of the lease we were to leave

When, last January. we ended the

the plumbing where It was. since it's
removal would cost as much a. 1t was
worth. The French owner refused. We
had to take out our plumbing. What
he wanted from that chateau was not
sanitation. but venerable beauty, and
the sense that he dwelt In the same

During 1918 hunters of the United

mountain lions. 10 destroying
bears. 1880 coyotes, and $50 bobcats,
we are told. These animals were
killed at a total expense Of $24,86O.
and the saving effected by their de-
struction, on the basis commonly ac-
cepted by stockmen. amounts to $685.
$50 annually. Hunting during the
spring period destroys many young,
and thus prevents increase. Many
coyotes not accounted for in the fg-
ures given were destroyed by poison.
The killing Of these animals marks a
long stride in determination Of gray
wolves and other predatory animals,
and the saving is cumulative for years
to come.
