MARY IS AN ISSUE, BUT =:
CAN'T GO BACK TO VOTE
In Three Counties of Nevada
q Battle RACES Around
Divorce Question

Carson City. Nevada, K April Is
United Press) - Mary Pickford
has been, most everything from Que
en- of San Marine to ragged orphan
and now she's become political is
Sue. ~ ~
/ In three counties of Nevada a bat
tie is raging around her, which IS
proving one of the most spirited of
the many the sage-brush state has
seen.s It is her divorce which is in
volved. y
Attorney General L. B. Fowler, the
man who attacked the legality of
Mary's divorce from Owen Moore and
who precipitated the two year fight
in court over the divorce, which is
not yet settled, has become a candi-
date for district judge against Judge
F. P. Langan, of Minden-the man
who granted Mary her divorce.
The Pickford divorce first came
into state politics and the groundwork
for the present contest was laid, at
the last session of the Necede legis-
lature when the attorney general in
|spired a resolution removing Langan
from his judgeship. The resolution
failed by a narrow margin.
Fowler and Langan now are appeal:
ing to the voters for "vindication"
and for endorsement of their re-
spective positions,
Back of Langan are scores of "pro-
Pickford" men, who think that Mary
had divorce coming to her.
And back of'Fowler are the "anti-
Pickfordites," who believe with the
attorney general that Mary's divorce
was not a credit to the state OF
Nevada.
The judgeship covers three counties
and is considered stepping stone to
the supreme court.
But whatever the result of the fight
may be, Mary can't come home to
vote, although she once swore she
had established residence in Nevada.
The attorney general says that il
she ever sets her tiny foot on Nevada
soil, he will have her brought into
court and let her shake her curly
head at some judge who does not look
lightly on the subject of divorce.

Countrywide Gopher Day Is
Declared By Bureau for
Saturday, April 20
COUNTY AGENT URGES
CONCERTED ACTION
Directions Are Given on. How
to Rid Farms of Large
Number of Gophers

A country wide Gopher Day is
being declared by the Beltrami Coun-
ty Farm Bureau through its various
units and the farmer clubs for Sat
urday,. April 20, when every. farmer
will Ego fer the gopher. Every far
,mer realizes the damage done by
the pocket gophers, especially y in
clover and potato fields, and that
united effort is necessary to control
this pest. BY declaring such day
when the gophers are just leaving
their dormant period, efforts will be
doubly effective. =
=: "A gopher destroyed at this time
is as good as a dozen later. Concert
ed action by everyone cannot fail to
bring results" declares County Agent
D. C. Dvoracek.
The state entomologist and the U.
S. Department Of Agriculture advise
that poison is the most effective
means of combating gophers. This
may be prepared by inserting strych-
min in small pieces of carrot, ruta-
bagas, potatoes, or soaking corn ker-
nels in an arsenic or strychnin solu-
ton. This bait is then dropped in the
runways of gophers which are locat-
ed by probing with a stick or rod
around newly-formed mounds, and the
hole made again covered.
Commercial forms of bait have been
found very effective in Northern
township where the farmers. club
carried on such a campaign last year.
This club has already secured it's "am-
muniticn" for this year. Orders for
this poison are being pooled by the
various farm organizations, effect
ing a material saving. Literature has
been sent to all directors of units,
secretaries ;of farmers clubs, and
rro duce associations, from whom
further. information can be secured.
Orders can also be-. placed at the
Farm Bureau office, .i"Go fer" the
Gopher Saturday, April '29, is: the
slogan Of the organization at; this
time. -"
" Directions -
Pocket gophers are readily caught
in any one of several makes Of special
traps commonly on the market, and
a few Of these suffice to keep small
areas free of the pests. For Kidding
alfalfa fields, orchards, and long
stretches of ditch entertainments of
them, a very successful and much
more practical method is. to poison
them by use of bats Of sweet potato
or of parsnips placed in their under
ground runways.
The bats should be cut about |
inch long. and 1-2 inch square, and
washed and drained. From pepper
box slowly sift 1-8 ounce of powder
ed strychnin (alkaloid)' and Ito OF
this quantity of saccaharine (ground
together in a mortar) over about 4
quarts of dampened bats, stirring to
distribute the poison evenly.
The runways, which are usually q
to 8 inches beneath the surface, can
be located by means of a probe made
of any strong handle an inch in di:
ameter and So inches long. One end
should be bluntly pointed. Into the
other should be fitted a piece of 3-s
inch iron rod, protuding about IL
inches, and bluntly pointed. A foot
rest aids in probing in hard soils. BY
forcing down the iron rod near 60

Humid reds Have Been Driven
From Homes in Mississippi
and Missouri Basins
MOST SEVERE DAMAGE
is ALONG THE ILLINOIS
Over Half the Residents Of
Beardstown, ILL.,, Have Been
Driven From Homes
(RY United Pressl

Chicago, April 15-Following five
weeks of almost daily rains rivers in
the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri
basins were over-flowing today, caus-
ing millions of dollars of property
damage and intense suffering. Hun
dreds have been driven from their
homes. The heaviest losses were suf-
ferd by farmers through drowning
of livestock and inability to get into
the fields and prepare the crops.
The damage was most severe
along the Illinois river. Beardstown,
Illinois, whose 5000 population is
accustomed to floods, experienced
the greatest high water loss in his
tory. The levee, protecting Eastern
Peoria was threatening. Lower lands
along the Indiana river are flooded.
Lowlands in the upper Mississippi
valley are also under water with
further damage threatening today.
The crucial points are; Winona
and Lacrosse. Guards were station
ed along the Wisconsin river.
Rains continued in Illinois and
Indiana today.
Peoria, Ill.,, April 15-Flood waters
sweeping down to the Illinois river
rendered thousands homeless and
caused damage estimated at $500, 900.
Weakened levees protecting valuable
lands were giving away before the
rush of water. Families in East Pc
oria fled to higher ground during
the night. Railroad trains running ov-
err the rubber" tracks on the road
bottom undermined by water, crept
along at five miles an hour. At many
places the lands are under water.
Trucks and automobiles were work
ing throughout the night carrying
household belongings to higher
ground. Water, which has covered
three-fourths of Beardstown, was
still rising. More than one-haR Of
the population had been driven from
their homes.

SIMMONS ROAD LAW IN.
VALID HIGH COURT FINDS
Legislature Held TO Be Without
Authority in Naming Com
missions Personnel.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 15.-The
simmons road law was held uncon-
stitutional by the Court of Appeals
today, affirming the judgment of
Judge Sam Hurst of Beattyville.
presiding over the Franklin Circuit
Court.
The ground on which the law was
held Invalid was that, while the Leg
islature may create offices, appoint
ment to Offices is an executive func-
tion. The op MON was written by
Judge Gus Thomas, the whole court
sitting.
The Simmons road department
reorganization bill was passed by
the 1922 General Assembly after a
bitter political fight. Under the
provisions of the act the present
Rad department would be suppianr-
ed by commission appointed by
the Legislature, with Gen. William
L. Seibert of Bowling Green us head
of the body. Ben Weille and Leslie
B. Samuels, who were named as
comm ssioners in the original bill,
have been appointed to the present
road commission and appear N the
role of defendants in the court ac-
tion.
The disputed bill was Introduced
IN the House by Representative
Frank L. Strange, Democrat. Bow
ing Green, and in the Senate Dy Sen
ator Robert c. Simmons, Democrat
Covington. 1t passed the House by
a large vote and nOsed through the
Senate on party vote of 10 to II.
The passage of the bill in the Sen
ate came at the end of one of the
longest fi4busters ever attempted by
a Kentucky Legislature, though it
was claimed the Republican men,
bers were not only fighting the road
bill but trying to kill several other
measures which they claimed were
politically repulsive.
