Ninety thousand gophers were

valleys during the last two years,
according to reports made to the
U. S. biological survey in charge Of
rodent eradication In this district.
c. f. Bliss has charge Of the work.
Gov" J. II. Evans reports that
I $4,000 bats were put out in Fen

usually large in the 50 :tEern parts
of the Mesilla and Ell Plso valleys.
The work is now in full swing in

Game birds Of the chicken fam

eating food treated with strychnine,
morphine, opium or any of the other
poisons used for the scientific OK

reports issued at the forest office
based upon experiments made by
DIR. A. X. Fisher of the biologist
survey, who says:
Reports that game birds OF that
class are being killed through eat

dents is absolutely erroneous. In

In the experiments made by the
biological survey experts, crows

with the same result.
Then at last came acceptance
with a handwritten note asking
for more. But there was an old
flaw in my respect for editors.
proceeded to hunt up all those re-
jected manuscripts and | sent them
in response to the request. They
were all accepted.
TT was then that great truth
dawned upon me. Editors were
humanity fallible. Anyone could
be one. So, in time, 1 myself be-
came an editor"
Henry Sydnor Harrison had a
similar experience. Once his name
was linked with success and popu-
larity, editors who had steadily re-
fused to see any good in his stories
when he had swamped their offices
with manuscripts, began to ask po-
litely for just one story.
The moral of such careers Is OBJ
viously that one way to sell manu-
scripts is to become a famous au-
thor.
Taking the book altogether,
however, it doesn't seem to make
much difference which one of the
writer's beginnings the incipient
celebrity seeks to copy, He may
start out with heroic couplets or
five act tragedies. Sooner or lat
err, if he persists. he will find his
medium and an editor who appre-
ciates him-that is, he will il he

can author.
