We read a letter written to Miss

Mamie Adams of Long Beach, Cal.
Miss Adams was born in Bristol
township. She taught for a num-

She won't care if we tell you she is
|S3, and writes letter that con-
troverts the old assertion that age
deadens the brain power. In the
letter she tells of an address she
made recently to a crowd of young
folks. Her letter makes us know
she can write a letter of memories
of Bristol township and of Morgan
county.
We are sorry indeed to learn of
the death of Mrs. Howard Gray of

Consttutionali'y of the law which

OF Tennessee the theory "that man

The test ease was taken before

teacher, convicted for violation VT
the law.
Although tho law was upheld, the
verdict against Scopes was reversed
on the grounds that he was illegally
fined 500 when the maximum pen

is $50. The law under which he
WAS convicted provides that viola

RODENTS CAUSE
HEAVY DAMAGE
in OIL FIELDS

BAKERSFIELD Cal, Jan. ID
Swarming in droves over Il territory
approximately 10 square miles
around the Buena Vista Lake basin
near here, millions of mice are fur
nishing perplexing problem 10
national, state and county officials
who are attempting to eXterminatc
them.
''Thc situation is one of the most
serious in the history of the state
but it is not at all alarming as we
have it under control, Whit c.
Barber of the Kern county horticui-
tural office declared here today.
Barber said it will probably be at
least two weeks before the rodents
are exterminated. however.
The mice infested region is mainly
in the Elk Hills and Buena Vista
oil fields. No cities have been at
tackled vet, although the mouse pill
grimage is toward Taft, Fellows
and McKittrick. In some sections,
the small animals are so thick the
land appears to be moving.
More than four tons of poisoned
grain have been used to end the
plague. The daily ration of poison
grain to the pests is estimated at
1900 pounds. Grain is believed to
be the most efficient and quickest
method of wiping them out.
II. f. Ball, zoologist of the Uni
versitv of California, was here to-
day to study the situation and pos
sibly name the mice. Their type is
unusual. They have a blunt nose
rough hair. smooth tail and small
ears.
No estimates have been made as
to the number of mice that are run
ming through the oil fields and prov
ing a great annoyance. Barber said
the best estimate he can make Is
"millions.
The greatest financial damage
caused bv the rodents has been II
the storage warehouses of the OF
companies, where they have destroy
ed large quantities of foodstutts.
Many stories of experiences witt
the pests are being told by resi-
dents of the district.
According to Ernest Miners, who
roo;1~- near Ford City, the mice
attacked his place in battle forma
tion and feasted on poison grain he
had set out for them. When the
grain disappeared, miners declares
he counted 172 dead mice.
The highway between Taft ano
here is spotted with dead mice, vic
tins of automobile tires, according
TO motorists arriving here.

"This is better lineup and CON

ment made by j. II. Rorra, repre-
sentative Of the Cycle Trades Of
America, as he started the bicycle
parade containing 80 riders. this
morning in connection with a
"safcty first drive held in this

The Boy Scouts were we'll repre-,
sented, having II members of dit
ferent troops in the lineup. Twelve
girls, in very attractive costumes,
on gayly decorated "bikcs' led the
parade. The balance of the line CON
sisted of decorated and undecorated
bicycles, the formation of the pa
rade being in couple, three wheel
lengths apart.
Judges were puzzled as to the
awarding Of prizes, when confront
ed with such II variety of original
"h't ''NtiiN tAttutcV tttul dlloii
schemes. Much thought and care
was shown in the girls costumes.
The spirit Of Imperial Valley was
we'll represented by a little girl on
a bicycle entirely covered with I'M
pcrlal Valley cotton, sprinklcd with
artificial snow and shaded by a
rarasol, also covered with cotton
and bearing tiny tinkling bells.
Dog Takes Part

boy S section by a dog, garbed in
Il skull cap, wearing large shell
trimmed spectaclcs and smoking 4
pipe, that sat motionless in u small

such proportions after it got under
way. that this was impossible.
"If we can have a good attend,
ancc at our show each night we feel
