place on Tuesday, demanded that she

had been made for woman suffrage in
Georgia, indicated her displeasure,
disgust and dissatisfaction in no ua-
certain terms.
Mrs. McLendon was courteously in
formed by the election managers
that under the state law, only those
registration lists may vote in any
election. This registration must be
made six months before the date Of
the election anl as the suffrage
amendment was not passed until aft
or the six months limitation had eX-
pired, It was eeal.y impossible for
women to vote in Georia in the gen.

m.tted to vote - the state primary

DRIVE AGAINST
PRAIRIE DOGS
COSTS MILLIONS

One hundred and fifty millions of
dollars year is the damage wrought
on the range of the western states
by rodents, principal among viii. h
is the prairie dog. Investigations
made by government officials declare
that prairie dogs occupy more than
100. 100000 acres of the best range
land in the Rocky mountain region.
They cover 100000 acres in Arizona;
100000 acres in New Mexico; H.
100000 acres in Colorado, and enor-
nous areas in Texas, Oklahoma, Kan
sas. Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana
and elsewhere.
Prairie dogs make their homes in
burrows in the ground, the entrances
of which are marked with circular
mounds of earth from, one to four
feet high and from three to ten feet
across. The mounds look for-all the
world like miniature volcano crater.
The value of the high mounds seems
to be to keep water out of the bur-
rows during floods or heavy rains.
These mounds rapidly narrow to the
diameter Of the burrow proper, which
is four to five inches, thus forming
a funnel-shaped crater In the top
of each mound.
It Is said that 80 prairie dogs eat
as much as a sheep and 256 as much
as a cow. The estimated number
of prairie dogs to the acre in the
infested regions is Is. According to
this, a quarter section of land with g.
900 prairie dogs, would support eight
head of cows If the dogs were ami
hilated. The dogs not only eat the
forage as fast as it grows, but dig
down into the ground and destroy
the roots. They prevent reseed1ng
of grasses and in time leave the
ground bare and desolate and with
out protective sod so that efosion
takes place. In New Mexico, it is es-
,imated that the prairie dogs annual
ly destroy grass that would support
4OO, 900 head of cattle or more than
100000 head of sheep.
The biological survey, the various
states and the farm bureaus of the
infested areas are cooperating IN
great drive against this pernicious
rest. The work has shown that 80
per cent of the prairie dogs may be
destroyed on the range at cost OF
less than four cents the acre. The
cost of the folloW-up campaign dur
ing the following years to completely
annihilate the animals is much less.
Poisoned grain is used, q spoonful
being placed at the entrance to the
burrow in early spring before vege-
tation starts. The hungry rodents
eat it readily and perish.
In addition 30 destroying the grass
on the range they haunt the cultivat-
ed fields and destroy alfalfa. grain
gardens, in fact no vegetation is i'm
mune from their attacks. If farm
err poisons those adjacent to his place
a new immigration follows from the
,ircultivated range and mountain re-
eions. 1t will be long, hard fight
to get rid of the pests.

Harding Has Mind Of Ozvn;
Fav0ry Entry OF Amer1ca
Into Some Kind of League
ing some kind Of an association OF


ing some kind Of an association Of
nations.
But it was one Of the most re-
markable election parties in Amerl-
can history. Friends of the victo-
rious candidate sat around as he
himself read aloud the various press
association reports that came to the
house. Everybody in Marion seemed
to feel the right to drop in and say
Hello" with the same informally
as if they were calling on any neigh
bor\ or fellow townsman. The SIM
pie home of the Hardings was of
course alive with people. Fred Up
ham, William C. Wrigley, Jr, Albert
D. Lasker, all of whom have had a
prominent part in the financial or
came from their homes in Chicago
in a special train with George Getz,
of Chicago, and were with the sena-
tor as news of his election came over
the wires. Harry Daugherty, Colonel
Darden, Fred Starek and other close
were there too, but it was not until
midnight, when the people of Marion
evidently became convinced at the
same moment there could be no
repetition of the surprises of 1916.
Then came a fife and drum corps.
It aroused the entire town and the
procession started along Mount Yer
non avenue to- the Harding home.
Such a noise as they did make. They
yelled and shouted and blew horns
and fairly screamed for joy. When
Senator Harding came to the front
porch he was given the cheer that
comes only once in a lifetime when
a man is elected to the presidency,
when the voices Of the people who
have known him for years are lifted
up in a chorus that comes from the
cart, a chorus of congratulation
that is sincere and spontaneous, but
is at once an expression of pride and
eXultation. Mrs. Harding was kiss
ed by her neighbors again and again.
The president-elect's hand was shak-
en- vigorously by thousands of his
friends, real love and affection for
the Hardings was unmistakable in
that crowd. They celebrated the vic
tory of their neighbor with the noisy
enthusiasm and ecstacy which Amer
leans anywhere might display as
they saw struggling boy of humble
parentage and modest means win
out in the greatest Of all contests
in American public.
