USES NEW POISON ID CLEAR RANGE IF
 PRAIRIE DOG PEST

Abe Caufman, a we'll known cattle man of Seligman. has just completed a splendid piece of range improvement by killing the prairie dogs from GAO acres of land near his headquarters, 35 miles northwest of that city This was more in the nature of a practical dem onstration which will lead to the clear ing of many thousand acres of land of the pest. The area treated was on the Hualpai Indian reservation and the prairie dogs in this region have been destroying from 25 to 50 per cent of the grass on the open range. The loss from this source runs into thousands of dollars on Mir. Caufman's range alone. to say nothing of the adjacent holdings of other stockmen. Mir. Cauf- man had for many years endeavored to kill the prairie dogs with various mix lures, but with little or no success un- til he had come to the conclusion that they could not be controlled. This fact reached the office of the United States Biological Survey here and arrange ments were immediately made for a test on $40 acres of land.
 l.. c. Metcalf representing the Unit ed States Biological Survey and the University of Arizona, was assigned to the supervision. Mir. Caufman fur Eished the men and horses and the state and government the poisoned grain. On the first day a small table spoonful of clean imprisoned grain was placed at each active prairie dog burrow. The prairie dogs cleaned this up in hurry, so two days later a tablespoonful of the new tasteless poi son grain recently perfected by the government was placed on the same spots. The prairie dogs immediately thought that another free feed was scheduled and they devoured the poi soned grain readily. Within 10 or IS minutes after eating but from to kernels of the grain they began having fits, and every prairie dog on the area was dead before sundown. The num- Der killed is estimated from 5000 to 5000. It is a fact now well estab- lished that no matter how tasteless a poison is or how we'll prepared. unless an area is first prebaited with clean. imprisoned grain and then followed two days later with the poisoned grain one can only kin 50 to 75 per cent of the pests. while by following the nre- bait method from 95 to 100 per cent can be killed in one treatment.

 A FOOLISH THEORY
 It is a matter of daily occurrence to hear parents say that it is useless to keep their children away from their playmates who have any of the com municable diseases of childhood. in fact, some even expose their children to such diseases on the theory that it is better for the child to have the disease early in life. and be over with it.
 Nothing is more foolish than this theory. It is absolutely unnecessary for a child to have any of these. and it is crime thus to expose them These diseases are not the simple thing that many think. Each one is dang erous, and frequently leads to death or leaves the victims with other dis ease conditions which remain with them for long time and cause untold suffering
 Measles may be followed by a bron- chitis or pneumonia, whooping cough by a bronchitis. pneumonia or heart disease and scarlet fever by disease of the heart or kidneys or of the ears. The latter is one of the most frequent causes of deafness in children. There fore, it will be seen that children ex- posed to the ORDINARY" diseases of childhood are not exposed to these diseases alone. but to many other very serious and often fatal ones.

ed at his place and was so well pleased with the results that he is working out plan whereby all of the stockmen in the vicinity will cooperate with the United States Biological Survey and the University of Arizona in clearing the entire range in the region of the prairie dogs. The work on the Cauf- man ranch cost around five cents an acre and under the plan being worked out by Mir. Caufman and government officials the stockmen will furnish the men, horses, subsistence, etc, while the Biological Survey will furnish the man to supervise the work and the poi soned grain. This is possible as the range is situated on the Hualpai Indian Reservation and is federal land This will mean thousands of dollars to the stockmen of northern Arizona on this one project alone.
 Every farmer and stoclSman in the state of Arizona is allotted an amount of free poisoned grain by the state and federal governments for controlling rodent pests, whether they be prairie dogs, gophers, jack rabbits or squir- rels. and detailed information may be secured by writing to Rodent Pest Di- rector D. A. Gischrist, box 7s5. Phoenix. or by consulting any county agricuI- tural agent.

DR. HICKMAN TELLS OUTBREAKS TREATY
 MUST BE MODIFIED

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2e--Modifica- tion of the Versailles treaty an6 CO., operation of nations on the basis of mutually helpful agreement. "are nee essary if enduring peace and prosper ity is to come to any of the nations of Europe Rev. F. F. Bacl1man of Phila- delphia declared at tonight's session of biennial convention of the United Lu- therans church.
 Dr. Backman is just back from a trip to the central European countries and said his statement was based on what 1 have seen and heard in Eu- rope. He said he found dire dis tress' in Germany due to unemploy- lnent because factories were closed for lack of coal and raw materials.
 The conviction was everywhere in Germany, Dr. Backman said. that America had been the deciding fac. tor in Germany's defeat but there was at the same time "a remarkable ab sence of bitterness because America had 'so generously dealt with her van quished foe, especially in relief work.
 Rev. L. B. Wolf of Baltimore, secre. tary of the board of home missions told of the Lutheran missionary con ference at Grams, Switzerland. last summer at which it was decided. he said, that Germany missionaries shoulu soon De permitted to return to the fields from which they had been driven by the war.
 Lutheran foreign mission work had been found to be at standstin and in need Of immediate relief from the American Lutheran church. the speaker said adding:
 Tt was heartening to see with what gratitude Germany missionary leader snip received every word of encourage ment from the American fellow Chris tians."
 The convention was in the midst of debate over a substitute for the fi nancial plan under which the church has been working when it recessed for the evening. The substitute opposed a central treasury through which all llnances for the board and committees of the church should pass.

DEEP SEA WATER. ROUTE URGED TO PROVIDE OUTLET FUR GRAIN CROP
TRepubIIean A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK. Oct. 2o.-A deep sea waterway from the Great Lakes through the St. Lawrence river was urged as an economic necessity by men Of national prominence today at a hearing before the international joint commission. Herbert Hoover was the principal speaker for the propo- nents of the project. His arguments were feinforccd by William c. Red field. former secretary of commerce.. and Julius IT. Barnes. president of the United States Grain Corporation; Admiral w. $. Benson. chairman of the United States shipping board; R. S. Mac cEsleween. director of the bu- reau of foreign and domestic com merce; W. T.. Saunders. president of tho American Manufacturers associa- ton; J. R. Howard. president of the American Farm Bureau Federation: the presidents of two great trunk line railroads and an array of advocates who came out from tho west to help fight the opposition. which is led by representatives of New York commer- cial organizations. the New York City dock commissioner and the New York state engineer.
 The proponents argued 1t would re- duce the cost and expedite the move ment of American grain exports. and lutItnY WlQtu Lnt IaFHtTH' margin or saving SO that he could utilize the money in increasing the productivity of hi0 soil
 Unless this is done. declared Mir. Hoover. America's exports of food products will continue to diminish, until they cease ten years from now.
 Necessity of developing the hydro electric power which the project would create in order to conserve the coal supply of the United States. also was declared of outstanding importance.
 Continued congestion of transpor- tation lines between tho east and west and the clogging of New York piers force delays which the new outlet to Europe would eliminate. the speakers said.
 Admiral Benson, who sent pre- pared statement thought it every doubtful that sufficient railway facili- ties can ever be provided to care for the transportation demands of the middle west for carrying its products Co seaboard for export.
 The situation can be improved only by increasing our water trans portati0n facilities"
 Opposition of the New York men. who declared the project would crip- pie this harbor and be inimical to the barge canal. was characterized as 'picayunish" and selfish" by many of the speakers
