WARFARE AGAINST LOCUSTS
CARRIED no ENEMI'S HOUSE

Alexandria, Egypt, Dec. 10. - An
expedition into the Kalahari desert
has been organized by the South
African government to discover the
breeding places of the locusts that
come forth in the summer and
swarm over the farms of South Al
RIGA, destroying everything in their
wake. 1t is hoped eventually to send
small army into this desert armed
with sprayers and all the necessary
equipment for killing the pest.
Some members of the expedition
! visited the kraai of the Barokene
| tribe, 200 miles within the desert,
and were received by the native
chief and his wife, both dressed in
the European fashion and speaking
English.
.iGnong these natives they found a
group of some 80 white men and
women serving in mental capacities.
They are the descendants of nomadic
forbears who trekked adventurously
from the Cape, only to settle among
the Barokene natives, whose work
men to all intents and purposes they
have become.
! Being white, by the laws Of the
country they are denied pastoral and
agricultural privileges, and now they
seem to have lost all initiative to
move out and reestablish themselves
| in Il white community.

Many Autos To
Be Christmas
Gifts in "a

Christmas this year will bring au-
tomobile ownership to thousands of
persons who never before even
thought they would ever enjoy such
Il thing.
OF course, the giving Of an auto
mobile at Christmas time. has been Il
practice for years. Families have
bought new automobiles to replace
old ones, the thoughtful husband
has surprised his wife with new
car and indulgent yet practical
fathers, to retain larger cars for
family use, have played the role Of
Santa Claus and presented sons and
daughters with Ford runabouts OF
Coupes as personal cars, practice,
which. by the way, is becoming quite
popular.
But for those to whom the own
ership Of an automobile has hereto
fore seemed impossible, the Ford
Weekly Purchase Plan is now play
ing the role of Santa Claus. Thou
sands Of persons who enrolled under
the plan early in the year and
made their weekly payments will this
Christmas take delivery of their
cars, and receive a Christmas gift
that gives year round pleasure.
Approximately 100000 persons al
ready have secured their cars under
the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan and
this number will be materially in
creased before the close of the APP
preaching Christmas season.
The convenient manner in which
payments may be made under the
j'plan and other attractive features
| connected with it, make il possible
for most anyone to purchase a Ford
car. Dealers throughout the coun-
try already have begun to report en-
rollments of persons who plan on a
Ford for Christmas next year and it
is expected that similar enrollments
will show large gain during the
next month or so, for people of linn
tied means everywhere are finding
this an easy and practical way to
purchase car.
