SPECIALIZE ON cHINcH BUGS
Particular Reason Why Farmers
Should Act to Protect the Bob
white Quail From Hunters.

Every shot fired this season at the
bobwhites that are wintering in your
fields is shot at your pocketbook,
says Farm and Ranch. Quails de-
stroy millions Of alternating bugs that
would otherwise awake In the spring
to fall hungrily upon the product Of
field and garden.
while you fight the chinch bug,
redouble your efforts to increase bob
white quails.' says A. G. Burill Of
the Missouri College Of Agriculture.
"They are said to eat from 500 to
1000 chinches at meal, and their
stomachs crave another meal every
two hours. AT least, this Is the usual
rate of digestion in most insect t-eating
birds. Quails are the only wild birds
which specialize on chinch bugs in the
winter season."
To protect the bobwhite the most
effective plan is for several farmers
comparatively to publish notice In
the county papers forbidding hunters
to shoot QuaiIs on their premises.
This has been done successfully in
several Missouri communities. Many
county papers are running such no
tices properly drawn up by lawyer
and kept standing in the paper
throughout the hunting season. In
such cases the publishers will add the
name of any farmer in the county and
keep it there for, say, so cents for the
season.
Protect the quails; they will fight
your bug battles for you--winter and
'summer-Our Dumb Animals.

No eackaehs for tbs Healthy.

That lumbago, sciatica and other
forms of backache are to be regarded
as reflex neuralgias, like that due to
decayed teeth, is theory advanced
by DR.. Folke Lindstedt of Stockholm,
as the result Of examinations of 1878
recruits for the Swedish army. Out
of the total number, 1,578,117, or IA
per cent, had suffered from lumbago,
sciatica or backache. Among those
with SERIOUS morbid conditions" the
number who had suffered from lum-
bago was 24.5 per cent; among those
with minor ailments, the number was
81 per cent, and among the perfectly
healthy 1t was only IT per cent. In
the case of sciatica, 3.48 per cent of
those with serious morbid conditions
had suffered, and only 0.12 per cent of
the healthy recruits.

Jackson, Cal.-All AZ of the miners

A note found on one Of the bodies
indicated that all the men had died
within five hours Of the beginning of
the fire August 27. officials said.
All the miners were found behind
the second Of two bulkheads they
had built in cross-cut 4350 feet down
in the Argonaut mine.
The officials declared the mute evi-
dence Of the mems struggle showed
they were AZ of the most cool-headed
men imaginable.
Sixteen Of the entrapped miners re-
moved their clothes to provide mater
ial for stuffing the cracks in the
wooden barrier, hastily constructed.
Then another barrier was built Of
rock, earth and debris. However, the
gas and fumes from the fire apparent
ly seeped through the first bulkhead
and the men fled from the site where
they were building the second one,
to start third farther on.
This third attempt to wall off the
death-dealing gas was made at the
end Of the 4350-foot cross-cut in the
Argonaut, but the fact that only a
bare start was made at 1t proved, the
mine officials said, that the deadly
gases reached 1t and performed their
fatal office before the AZ unfortunates

BRITISH PREPARE TO
DEFEND DARDANELLEs
England Ready to Fight Tur-
key Over Freedom Of
Straits.

on.--Large British forces with
heavy artillery have been landed at
strategic points in the Dardanelles,
prepared for any eventuality.
Great Britain is prepared to fight
to maintain the freedom Of the Dar-
danelles.
The Near Eastern crisis has given
rise to fears that the Turkish national
lists might turn from their successes
over the Greeks to attack the neutral
zone around Constantinople.
With this in mind, Great Britain is
reinforcing her troops in Constanti-
nople and has ordered the Mediter-
ranean fleet to oppose by every means
any infraction Of the neutral zone or
any attempt by the Turks to cross
over to Europe.
Great Britain also has invited
Greece, Roumania, JugoSlavia and
the British dominions to give their
assistance in this, If necessary. France
and Italy are said to agree with Great
Britain on the necessity Of maintain
ing the neutrality of the straits.
The British government holds that
II the allies were driven from Con.
stantinople by the forces of Mustapha
Kemal Pasha it would be an event Of
the most disastrous character, pro-
ducing far-reaching reactions, not
only throughout all the Moslem coun-
tries, but throughout all the states de.
feated in the late war, who would be
profoundly encouraged by the spec
tacle Of the undreamed of successes
which have attended the efforts of the
comparatively weak Turkish forces.
Moreover, the temperance of the
victorious Turks on the European
shore would, it is held, provoke situ-
alton of the gravest character through
out the Balkans and very likely lead
to bloodshed on large scale in. re-
/. gions already cruelty devastated. {

Foreman Experiences
Most Disastrous
Year of All

T T HAS been many years
since George w. Fore
man, the local turfman,
has experienced a more dis
astrous campaign than the
one just closed. All during
the Canadian season Fore
mans colors were carried to
victory not more than a half
dozen times. Then to cap it
off he failed entirely to win
a race during the Bowie
meeting. Bowie has gener-
ally been Foreman's white
meat, but the best he could
do during the meeting Just
closed was to take down
second portion of several
purses. Foreman is taking
his streak of hard luck as a
matter of course, figuring,
no doubt, that next year may
be something else again.

would be cut, to the end that a
high standard of values in over

be raised all around and in addi-
ton to that there would be one
100000 (added money! stake,
three of $4,000 each and four of
$4,000 apiece.
The $4,000 will be added in the
Coffroth handicap. a gallop OF one

olds and over. The $4,000 events
will be the Tia Juana cup, two
miles for three-year-olds and over:
Tia Juana derby, one mile and a
furlong for three-year-olds and the
Tia Juana .Futurity, four furlorfgs
and a half for two-year-olds.
Willis Sharpe kilmer will send
his famous old campaigner, Ex-
terminator. to compete in the Cof-
froth handicap and the Tia Juana
cup. Exterminator in his great
career has won a little less than
quarter instituted in October and
is very nearly on even terms with
Man o. War now. Being a gelding
he cannot be put at production. So
there is nothing for him to do
but race and beat, if he can, the
worlds winning record of 1921 900
of the English Isinglass establish
ed in the early nineties.
1t is because winning the Cot
froth handicap would materially
help Exterminator to that end that
Mr.. Kilmer has decided to send the
old fellow to Tia -Juana.
