MARsHALL's ANSWERS TO MIMI
 RODS

Q. There has been a great hub-bub in many directions against the crow as a destroyer of game and bird life Do you consider him a menace to birds, to the extent of extinction? John H. Clares, Everett, Wash.
 A. The crow is unquestionably the arch enemy of birds and small game life. He is ever in quest of nests and is not averse to young tender birds when they have graduated from the egg class. Wise and foxy he is seldom detected in the act of robbing nests but seldom covers his tracks by the consumption of the shells, which are the evidence found when he is sud denly located and flushed. A menace to bird life he should be shot and hunted on every occasion. The black murderer Is responsible for the dis appearance of our prairie chickens and quail galore have appeased his vora- cious appetite.
 c. Do they take a mans gun away from him in some of the states wher he is caught breaking the law. Ii seems to me that would be a good thing to keep game hogs" from break

 A. A number of states have incor- porated the conflscation clause in their fish and game laws and it is the gen eral custom to bring in' illegal nets when located, but it has been the general custom to fine and return fire arms. Two state wardens have adopted the policy of permanent seizure of guns, Carl Avery of Minnesota and Fl S. Hedrick of South Dakota. The guns. nets, traps, etc, are later ad- vertised and sold to the highest bidder. It is frequently the case that trans gressors are controlled by the fear of the loss of their favorite weapon, when the chances of a fine only, would not deter them from breaking the law

I'm nearing forty now, (who says it

And men have filled great libraries
with things I'll never know:
I've lived and loved and read and
worked in many a distant cline;
I've taken scientific tours in prehis-

I've made the circuit Of the earth and
many lands I've seen;
And yet-why | was thrice as wise

At seventeen n has the sure,
straight wisdom of a lad;
There are two sorts of folks alive
the good sort and the bad,
Your creed, your fathers party-they

The Country. State or Town that's
best is certainly your own.
There are no ethical debates so ser

There's only one way that is right
and one way that is wrong.
Well we that see so close at hand the
hill of middle age,
Don't think we do not envy you your
attitude so sage.
For me, as I have said above, I've
weathered many a cline
And read and lived and loved and
worked a little in my time.
I've paid as most of you will pay. a
rather heavy price.

CONVICTED DRAFT
 DODGER 'HOME ON
 FURLOUGH' ESCAPES

PHILADELPHIA, May 21-Grover Cleveland BergdoIl. 2S years old, con victed draft dodger. recently sentenced to serve five years on Governors Is1- and, N. Y- escaped from army guards at his mothers home here today and tonight was still at large. The wealthy Philadelphian disappeared in his own motor car while two sergeants from Fort Jay, N. Y, his guards, were sit ting in the drawing room of Mrs Bergdolfs home. The machine was driven by BergdolIs chauffeur, accord ing to police.
 According to information received here from Fort Jay tonight. Bergdoll came to Philadelphia yesterday on a three days furlough to attend "to i'm portant business matters" It was said by the military authorities that he had left Governors Island on com petent military instructions. The na- ture of Bergdoll's business, the miIi- tary authorities said. was confidential
 It was said the two sergeants had spent the night at the Bergdoll home. This afternoon Bergdoll was entertain ing the sergeants with recitations from Shakespeare, according to a friend of the Bergdoll family. A tele- phone bell rang and BergdoIl said he would answer it. He left the room. and as the bell kept ringing the two ] sergeants became suspicious and in- NeSugated. Ills car, which had been
 standing in front of the house, had l disappeared and BergdolI with it. The draft dodger was dressed in olive drab denim, the army prison uniform.
 The two sergeants telephoned police headquarters and every avenue of es- l cape around the city was covered. Mrs. Emma c. Bergdoll, the fugi- l tive's mother. was not at home when l her son escaped, but returned shortly 1 after.
 Military and city authorities tonight
 are making an investigation to ascer- l tain whether there was any collusior l and whether Bergdoll was aided in his l escape.
 BergdolTs brother, Edwin R. Berg I doll, well-known motor car racer, still
 is a fugitive from justice as an alleged
 draft evader.

BUFFER STATE IN NORTHERN MEXICO
 URGED BY WILSON
Former Ambassador to Mex leo Would Use Force, if Necessary, to Create Re public - Would Include Eight States

WORCESTER, Mass, May 2l-The division of Mexico at the 22nd parallel by the creation. with force, 1T neces- l sary of an independent Mexican re public-including the present states of Sonora, Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Durango, i Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas and the territory of Lowera California was advocated ShaEe tonight by Henry Lane Wilson, former United States Ambassador tcr Mexico
 Speaking at Clark university's con- ference on Mexico and the Caribbean, MT. Wilson declared that such in dependent republic, as a buffer statel three times the size of Texas, between would afford self government to Northern Mexico. the breeding grounds to all Mexican revolutions which Mexico City never had been able to control successfully.
 MT. Wilson revealed that at the time of his retirement as ambassador in 1913 he had recommended armed in tervention by the United States as anl alternative to recognition of the Huer- la regime. In the present emergency however, he questioned the capacity of the present administration at Wash ington to carry out intrvention with success.
 Mexico can never be revolutionized into the practice of constitutional or democratic methods" he said. Eighty pSI Cci1l Ol the pOpuldllOn Gdn uelIneF read nor write and are as ignorant of the fundamental principles of true democracy as Zulu or a Hottontot Any scheme for the restoration of peaceful conditions in Mexico must in- volve firm government accompanied by gradual extension of power to the people as they become more fitted for for it's exercise by education"
 AS an alternative to his buffer state,a Mir. Wilson advocated active and sympathetic support of the nat ura1 governing elements" in Mexico By these he said he meant the white race and elements in the population in sympathy with it. Of Mexicos 14- 000,000 population, probably 5000 900 would fall under this description, in- cluding the mass of land owners, of- flee holders, the bar. the bench army officers and most of the shopkeepers. he said.
 Sooner or later" he predicted. this element will come into control and it would be the part of wisdom to recognize the position of this ele- ment, to weld it into an organized force by the supply of arms and to support it with official sympathy"

 Million Prairie Dogs Killed
 DOUGLAS-The Chiricahua Cattle company, which is the largest COW out fit in the state has just completed one of the finest pieces of prairie dog ex- termination which has ever been ac- complished in the United States. The foI nf nld tablished prairie dog towns in Cochise county and covered an area 12 miles long and four miles wide, or S0,720 i acres
 A crew of six to twelve men dis tributed the poisoned grain from Feb ruary 26 to April %. on which day the last dog was killed. Practically all of the prairie dogs were killed with the poisoned grain, but the few who re- fused it were located and exterminated with carbon bisulphide gas. It is estimated that 35 per cent more grass will now be available for the cattle on the Chiricahua range. MT Dedman and many other stockmen who are familiar with the area esti- mate that there were at least a million prairie dogs on the area before the work was started.--Daily International
