POISONING Field Mice

Field mice are very destructive to
fruit trees this year and do not over
look some ornamental trees. The
mice can be poisoned by cutting APP
pies into pieces about an inch square
and placing small amount OF pow
dered strychnine in each piece.
Poisoned wheat can also be used to
Kill mice. Bailey gives the following
formula: Scald five quarts of clean
wheat and drain. Take two-thirds of
a cupful of white sugar. dissolve with
sufficient water TO make a syrup. add
powdered strychnine. stir thoroughly
until a thin paste Is formed. Pour
this on the damp wheat. Stir. thorough

one pint OF powdered sugar. stir: add

same quantity Of oil Of aniseed. Scat

Reed Says Refusal
To Keep Silent On
League Cost Seat

KANSAS CITY, July 6.--The league
of nations was denounced as a league
of treason and covenant OF national
death" by Senator James A. Reed, who
returned here yesterday from San
Francisco, where he was refused seat
as delegate to the Democratic national
convention.
Senator Reed. addressing a me- ss met
ing In, convention hall here. declare l
mat ne was privately assured by
grapevine messages" while his case
was being heard, that the credentials
committee of the convention would seat
him II he would agree to keep silent
In regard to the league of nations on
the convention floor. His refusal to
make such an agreement was response
Bile for his being denied a seat, he
said.
IF there is one lesson that this coun-
try. needs to learn" Senator Reed said
in his speech 1T is that this Is on not 6oa
men country. II you would keep this
republic safe, you must do your own
thinking. You the people are the
source of all power. The sooner YOU
exercise. It. the better it will be for
you and for the country"
Senator Reed denounced the Demo-
cratic national convention at San Fran
cisco "a convention afflicted with in
ternational blind staggers."
without personal reference to any
one, Senator Reed declared there was
little difference between the doctrine of
the divine right of kings and the mod
ern doctrine that man elected to Of
flee becomes thereby a leader and that
all who differ with him are excom-
municated and outcast." .-.
Robert Lansing, former secretary of
state. he described as the only man
whom the president took to France with
him who knew anything about interna-
tienal law, land about the only one who
had ordinary common sense" and he
asserted that Lansing's removal from
office was the result of "his insistence
upon warning the people of the true
meaning of this league of treason, this
covenant of national death"
Senator Reed declared that this in
formation in regard to what the league
really means is going to the people, and
they shall know the truth"
Reed was received with enthusiasm
and a resolution was adopted by ris-
ing vote denouncing the action of the
Democratic national convention Gin de-
nying representation to this community
in refusing to seat Senator Reed" and
indorsing the senator's stand, was tele-
graphed to the Democratic convention.
Senator Reed said that the Demo-
cratic convention on independence day.

ROBERTS GAINING
VOTES; TAXATION
LAW BIG SUCCESS
Early PreiudiCes Overcome by
Governor Despite Labor's
0ppoSition-PeopIe Flock
ing to Him in West Part.
~ c. p. NEweERN.

Early prejudices against Gov. Rob-
erts' assessment law are rapidly be-
ing overcome throughout West Tennes
see and voters who previously expressed
themselves against the governor are
sssociIing to the fold. Gov. Roberts
opened his campaign at Brownsville
on June 10, and since that time has
made number OF speeches in the rural
districts of West Tennessee.
Despite the fact that political enc
mics of the governor are making the
most political capital of the assess
ment Jaw, the governor has won a
large number of votes by his explana-
ton of the law and it's operation.
Col. w. r. Crabtree opened his cam
paign in West Tennessee at Trenton,
Gibson county, Monday. He assailed
the assessment law but regardless of
his declarations on the subject the fact
remains that the state executive has
won groat many votes by his speeches
