RID COUNTRY OF
 COYOTES AND
 PRAIRIE DOGS

MT. D. R. Gilchrist of the U. s. Biological Survey in connection with the Unver- sity of Arizona, was in liol- brook last. Saturday. He was enroute to the Wallace and Bly ranch where he will conduct 8 campaign of ex- termination against t h e prairie dogs which are ruin ing some of the farming land on the ranch.
 He showed us several pie lures which made it clear that their methods do the work, and asked us to let the farmers and ranchers of this district know, through the medium of the press, that they could get lnforma- tion and material free to rid them of these pests by writing either to Isaac Rog- CTS, Box 89l, WinsIow, Ari- zona, or to Chas. E.. Reno, Earth Hotel, St. Johns. These gentlemen are CO., operating with Co. Agri. Agent c. R. Fillerup in this work.

Mir. L. D. Smyth of Flag. staff was in Holbrook last week. His many friends were very glad to see him. We think that a part of the time he was up to mischief, for we saw him talking to MT. Rees in a very confiden- tial manner, and when he looked around and spied us he said in a much louder tone, I've mustn't let her hear or she will put it in the paper. Now we are mad, and if we find out what it was really all about we certainly WILL put it in print! And send a marked copy to Mrs. Smyth.

Pass Your "White Mark"

In a recently published book by Hutchinson entitled eff Winter Comes there is very telling small point In the general interest of the story as whole it might easily be overlooked but it contains more pertinent and applicable lesson than many of the more self evident moral propositions of the story
 The hero of the tale, Mark Sabre by name plays a game with himself. He rides bicycle and on his way home each night from work he coasts down a long hill By using extreme skill he is able to glide almost to his own gate without propulsion of the bicycles pedals.
 Each time he marks his attainment with a small stick pushed into the ground by the roadway and painted white so that in the dusk of early evening it will show clearly This is his White Mark" his record of achievement
 On evening when he coasts farther than usual and the mark planted nearly at his front gate he is eated If he falls short of it's previous measure he is not downcast but determined to better it the next evening.
 So he plays the game with himself, never cheating by much wheels turn, always endeavoring to better his own best .,
 This is great lesson ever taught in books This holds the very essence and meaning of life. Do your best every day to reach your White Mark in life and then the next. and the next and the next do better still To excel oneself is most audabe compet ition :<'A "
 Nothing in this world stands still We either pro- gress retrogress It the eternal law of life Suc cess always lies ahead. Our "White Mark" is our of life. Each day to surpass yesterdays achieve men each year to rise above the cumberng sorddness of yesteryear. this is lesson we'll worth learning
 Nowhere in literature has it been put more beaut fully perhaps than in the stanzas of 1.-The Nautilus:
 Build thee more stately mansions. o my soul.
 As the swift seasons roll.
 Leave they low vaulted past.

The Cordova daily times., 1922-04-10

Charles Rogers, Fred Schiller and other veterans are planning to or ganize a Cordova camp of the United Spanish War Veterans, of whom scores are said to be available for membership in the Cordova district. MT. Schiller was formerly National Aide-de Camp of the order. Lately he has been urged by individual vet erans to get busy and fill the lack in Cordova. MT. Rogers and other veterans of '9S declare they will back the movement.
 National Commander Carlstrom has issued al order for mobilization and, as a result, twenty-eig new camps lately have been organized in the States. Alaska is expected to fall in line with a department organization second to none in results. Local vet erans hope to have the headquarters established here and to have the ter ritorial convention here in the late summer.
 Several distinguished veterans, 1n- cluding General John J. Pershing, are coming to Alaska on visits this summer. The veterans hope to hold their convention at a time assuring the attendance of the General. J.. Howard Butterfield of Astoria, con- mander of the noted Edward Young camp there, also is expected to visit Cordoya this sumer. He is one of the few survivors of the blowing up of the battlestip Maine and also one of the heroes of the battle of Manila Bay. He was on Admiral DeWey's flagship and one of his legs was so wounded by shell splinter that it lately had to be amputated.
 If the Cordova camp is organized, it is believed the Navy Department will present as a trophy, it wanted, one of the obsolete war vessels of Dewey's fleet, now on the mud flats at San Francisco. The navy is scrap ping these old vessels and Secretary Denby is presenting them, one by one, to veterans camps located at ports, where mooring facilities and upkeep are assured. Commander Butterfield, at Astoria, has applied for one of the ar-ships, and Port land is to get the old battleship Oregon.
 It requires some money, however, to meet the Navy's conditions as to the care of one of the old vessels. They have been stripped of guns and

M0NARCHISTS OF CHINA
 KOWTOW TO DEAD HOPE

PEKING, April 10.-Despite the fact that the Ching dynasty has been de funct since 1911 and the young ex- emperor of China Dis a prisoner in the Forbidden City of Picking, ali cerC monies connected with Manchu em. peror still are kept up. At the re- cent Chinese New Years celebration the customary honor was paid to the spirits of the emperors in their rest ing place at the HlHiern Tomba. Of fer,ngs of food and provisions were places before the tombs and the old Manchu officials, who still are re- tained in office by the Ching dynasty, kowtowed according to the custom pre- scribed in Mancn,t | use law for the imperial family.
 Every effort is being made by the monarchists to maintain the glory of the dead emperors, and the cerehi6ri' les at New Years typified the atti- tude of these adherents of depart ed order, who refuse to allow the glory of the Ching dynasty and the Manchu rule to be dimmed.

Some veterans say it isn't necessary to get one of the vessels, as hall facilities are ample here, but all are agreed on the propriety of organizing a camp at once.
 The Spanish War Veterans are CO., operating with the American Legion and other patriotic bodies and the national officers are keen to present united front at the next encamp- ment.

 The Philadelphia candidate seek ing the Democratic nomination, is a great-great-gr t-granddaughter of Benja- min Franklin, who exchanged letters with a friend defending the propriety of educating women and their fit ness for education. He explained in his autobiography that he took this stand perhaps a little for disputes sake"
 Though times have changed, the present candidates encounter an at titude of surprise. sometimes, judg- ing from remarks of Mrs. Buell. and Mrs. Huck.
 "It makes me weary to have peo- pie expect me to be freak because am interested in politics." says Mrs. Buell. of Nebraska, who adds, mother always said I was the most domestic of her four daughters.
 Mrs. Huck, who is the daughter of the late Congressman William E. Ma son, in a statement to the Women's Press, replies to young woman's re- mark, 'The nerve of her going into
 such big campaign" with the con-
 ment that "to be good congressman as she means to be, will require even more "nerve.''

The two have filed papers in accordance with an agreement of long standing be tween the sisters that if one ran for congress the other should do likewise Mrs. Buell. says. Mrs. Buell. set the example. The Nebraska woman, who classes herself as progressive Demo crat, adds that their father was the first mayor of the municipality of which Mrs. Gault is now mayor, and that politics runs in the family.
 Similarly, Mrs. Huck, Republican says that common interests with hel father and determination to con tinue his work led her to file fo1 congressman at large to fill the va cancy created by his death. She says the fact that she is happily married and the mother of four healthy children influenced party leaders to desire hel candidacy. Mrs. Hucks supporters say more than 900 down state Repub lican committeeman have endorsed her.
 Mrs. Spencer, Republican, who has also filed for congressman at large from Illinois, is a soldiers wife anC the mother of two baby girls. She was appointed public guardian oi Cook county by Governor Lowden in 1918, and has continued in office tc date. She practices law and has had cases in New York, California, Tn diana and Kansas.
