dead man with a bullet in his chest,

open water at full speed.
It's lone occupant lay on his back

In this prospect, according TO
the best national expert opinion,
the principal feature is a triangu-
lar conflict between President
Harding, Senator LaFollette and
Senator Johnson, with Johnson
playing the role not of a radical
alternative to I1aFollette but of
conservative alternative to Hard
ing.
In White House circles it is
confidently stated by the Presi-
dents intimates that nothing now
can shake the Presidents resolve
to put the World Court proposal
through to a final decision.
Arguments from the standpoint
of political expediency are having
no more effect on him in this case
than they had in the case of the
ship subsidy bill. His conscience
is engaged and he feels obliged to
pursue his present path to what
ever destination it may lead him.
Views of Prophets.
Accepting this fact as a fact,
the political prophets observe that
within the Republican opposition
to the League World Court there
are two elements-a radical ele-
ment and a conservative element
1t is taken for granted that the
World Court issue will create an
issue within the party. 1t is per.
ceived, however, that the radicals
who oppose the World Court and
the conservatives who oppose the
World Court will not be willing to
vote for the same candidate in tie
Republican national nominating
convention.
1t is regarded as absolutely GER.

R0UP is DANGEROUS DISEASE
Delicate Fowls Have Very Severe A.
tacks and Recover Slowly
Isolate Sick Birds.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
One Of the worse results Of the wet
and inclement weather Of fall and
early winter is the disease of chickens
commonly called roup. 1T resembles
the more malignant forms Of influenza
in larger animals and in man, attack
ing principally the membranes lining
the eye, the sacks below the eye, the
nostrils, the larynx and the trachea.
It is attended with high fever and Is
very contagious, but the nature OF the
germ is not yet known. How Wever, II
Is known that contaglon Is brought
into the poultry yard by infected birds.
Outbreaks Of roup in the fall occur
most commonly where the growing
chickens are overcrowded in the coop
or where the coops are not waterproof
or are poorly ventilated. Sometimes
these are birds purchased from other
aocks, and sometimes they are birds
from the home flock which have been
on exhibition and exposed to conta-
gion. Again, they are wild birds or
pigeons which fly from one poultry
yard to another.
Delicate birds have very severe at
tacks and recover slowly, as pointed
out in Farmers Bulletin 957, published
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Often q chronic cOndi-
tion persists for long time and
birds so affected give and spread the
disease for year or more, becoming
a starting point for many new out
breaks.
At first symptoms are similar to an
ordinary cold, but there is more fever,
dullness and prOstration. The eyelids
are swollen and held closed most Of
the time The birds sneeze and shake
their heads in their efforts to free the
air passages. Sometimes the eyes are
entirely closed and birds are prevent
ed from finding food. This, of course,
results in rapid loss Of strength, and
many of the birds die within week

Many people in a misguided effort
to get rid of kidney backache, rely on
plasters, liniments and other make

exception.
The proof is at your very door. The
following is an experience typical Of

Horace Greeley's Barn.

During the Illness that resulted in
his death, in 1872, Horace Greeley ex-
pressed wish in talking with his
daughter, that after he was gone and
forgotten, his old barn would still be
serving Il useful purpose. Although
the famous editor has been dead for
half century, his wish has been made
reality, and his daughter and her
husband are living today in the house
into which they transformed the Old
concrete barn.
Some years after the death Of Gree
ley, fire destroyed all the frame build
ings on the estate, and the family
sought letuge in the old barn as an
emergency home. Later with the as
slstance of an architect, the old barn
was remodeled into n comfortable and
modern dwelling. The corners and
part Oh the foundations are Of recent
masonry construction, and the chin
npys and trimmings of brick have been
added. The new residence is described
in Popular Mechanics.

Elk All but AnnlhiIated.

Elk once occurred in nearly every
state, but the larger number are now
confined to national forests and nation
al parks in IA states, according to the
forest service, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. OF total of
1900 elk reported several years ago.
over $1,000 find range on the national
forests some time during the year.
The once large herds of antelope
found in all western states have been
almost annihilated, but the 2,40O head
now existing on the national forests
in 10 states constitute the nucleus of
future nerds. A total of 1900 noun
tain sheep in II states, and 10000
mountain goats in four states are re-
ported. A few representatives of many
other big-game species are still found
in widely scattered sections Of the ma
tional forests, while fur-bearing uni
mails under protection show remark
able increase in most localities.

eophers Commit Suicide.

A self-exploding gun for the ex-
termination Of pocket gophers is now
being used by number of farmers
who are bothered with these pests.
The gun, illustrated and described In
Popular Mechanics Magazine, looks
like miniature cannon. 1t is mount
ed on IN aluminium frame with three
ground spikes so arranged that the
barrel can be pointed directly into
the gopher's runway. It shoots
standard .410 shotgun shell. In set.
ting, the dirt Is first scraped away
from the hole. The gun is then
spiked into the ground with the bur-
rel pointing down Into the burrow.
A small piece Of cork or cob is placed
over the end. Of the trigger wire.
The slightest pressure on the trigger
wire cork releases the hammer, and
bang the full charge Of the shot hits
the gopher in the face. The gopher
virtually commits suicide.

provided by breeders in the North, and
is used by some breeders In the South
says the United States Department of

they are the geese should have clear

or ten days. Some of the affected ones
recover and others continue weak and
have chronic form of disease for
months.
The best treatment Is to place sick
birds in warm, dry, well-ventilated
room free from drafts, and away from
the rest of the flock. An antiseptic
and healing mixture should be applied
to the affected membranes. Lacking
spraying apparatus, small syringe
and oil can, or even medicine drop
per, may answer the purpose, or the
birds head may be plunged into n
basin of the mixture and held there
for few seconds. The most suitable
remedies are: Equal parts of hydrogen

Dark Green and Brown
Favored Fall Colors

Dark green In myrtle or bottle shade
is expected to be seen In outer apparel
Of the more exclusive sort. Green for
coats and suits would not ordinarily
meet with popular approval, but the
color this season has attained a dis
tinction that upsets all preconceived
notions of what may be done with it.
Dark blue for coats is staple color
in fine fabrics.
Coats are again in the velvety wool
pile fabrics so much in vogue last
winter. There is a representation of
duvetyn or cashmere duvetyn and a
soft wool material having a luster
rather like broadcloth and suggesting
satin at little distance. Luster sur.
faced materials are coming in.
Gray, in shades like kit fox, squirrel
and platinum, is a strong color note in
coats and suits. Black is prominent,
lending itself better than anything else
TO the eolorful and elaborate embroid-
cries. which continue to be in vogue,
associated with a substantial use Of
gold and silver thread. Brown, in
shades ranging from tete de negre up
to the lighter beaver and taupe, is
largely represented. Brown is often
associated with beaver fur and with
seif-tone rather than contrasting en-
broideries.
