Senator John X. Shields, of Ten
nessee, one time Judge OF the SUI
preme court in his State. recently
sprung a new "moonshine" story on
his colleagues in the Senate cloak
rooms. Senator Shields. who knows
Tennessee from mountains to plains.
says that one day A rather inexperi-
enced revenue officer was riding
along through the mountains In search
of Illicit stills. At last he came upon
the foot of a path that appeared to
lead back into the maintains.
The revenue officer stopped his
horse and ss. contemplating the path
and its possible secrets. While he
was debating whether to follow up
the trail. a sAliow-faced, ragged, two
headed mountain boy suddenly emerg-
ed from the underbrusa and came
down the path

inquired the "revenooer."

piled the mountain lad.

peated the revenue man. well,

reins as the officer dismounted.
feet UP the narrow and somewhat in
distinct path when he was halted by
a sharp cry from the boy.
Hey mister" he exclaimed, what
yer want me ter do with this boss IL
you never come. back7"
The revenue man thought a moment,
retraced his steps, climbed up on his
horse and rode away. Kicking at the
pebbles with his bare toes. the noun
tain lad went his way, also.
Another story reflective of the phi
losophy and frankness of the moon
shine country is related by Senator
Shields. A stranger once passed
through the mountain regions of old
Tennessee and halted his rig to ad-
mire an unusual field OF growing corn.
He had never seen a more green and
hardy cornfield. AS he sat and sur
veyed the figurative sea of tassels
and young aers a native appeared at
the edge OF the field.
That's a nne lot of corn you have
growing there" commented the
stranger.
Purity fair, reckon" said the ma
tive.
How much do you get for corn up
this wayT'
Gan depends" said the native;
anywhere from so cents a bushel TO
81 a quart" -
Evidently. however, this happened
in the old pre- yolsteadian days. Lat
est reports from the mountain re-
gions of this prohibition country are
that 1t is difficult to get it for go
quart" nowadays.
The late Senator Vest of Missouri
once demonstrated with his son be-
cause he was too much in the COM
pany of another young man whom
the Senator regarded as failure In
life.
"I don't think that fellow Is much
good and wish you wouldn't go
around with him so much" suggested
the Senator.

 reel prepared by Mir. D. A. Gil christ, of the U. s. Biological
 Survey and University of Ari-
 zona, whose successful work in rodent control in this State is
 well known. The reel shows masterful planning and execu- tion in the details of the var ious kinds of materials used, the method of preparing the bait, and the manner of ap- plying it in the infested prairie dog areas. Shortly after the the poisoning squad has dis tributed the bait the men re- turn and pick up the dead dogs throwing them into pile with the expression, Good Prairie dogs"
 A field that has been devas- tated by these rodent pests is shown: after the dogs were kill led a second crop was planted which resulted in an excellent yield.
