NORWAY HERDS
GO MAD FRO
MYSTERY PEST
Beasts Resembling Guinea Pigs
Drive Livestock to DcvOur-
ing Meat

Oslo, Norway, Nov. 14.--Can you
imagine cows so mad that they will
forsake their vegetable diet for
fresh meat? In Stavanger. Norway,
this actually happens.
About every sixty years this To-
cality is overrun with Il mysterious
migration OF millions of tiny animals
called jennings. These little beasts
change the cows Of Stavanger from
mild and complacent animals into
raging creatures.
The lemming looks like small
guinea pig dipped in yellow. With
small eyes, tiny feet and mere
wisp Of a tail, he appears harmless.
But he has set of mean little teeth
that look as if they could gnaw
through anything. With them he
spares nothing. Everything vege-
table that comes his way he devours,
roots and all.
When Mr.. Lemming begins to
chew the grass in the pastures
around Stavanger, the cows parade
into town as a protest. But the
townspeoplc give the poor cows
scant sympathy. Chased from the
gardens where they have nibbled at
flower and vegetable, the nervous
beasts return to the fields ready for
war.
Forced to Eat Meat
They rage and stamp on the little
creatures and actually chew them up.
Whether the cows relish this sud
den change in diet is doubtful, it
being more likely that they act only
in revenge.
But that doesn't stop the lemming.
After propagating large family
and eating everything around him
he moves into the next field where
he and his descendants continue their
destruction.
The migration of the Norwegian
lemming is one Of the most astonish-
ing of natures mysteries. They
are never seen between migrations.
Suddenly and from no apparent
source the little beasts appear in
the mountains behind Stavanger.
They begin to multiply so rapidly
that the mountains soon swarm with
them.
Then the migration begins. It is
peculiar from any other migration in
nature in that these animals move
in an absolutely straight line from
the mountains to the sea. Steadily
for two or three years this vast army
of more than 300,000,00O eats its
way over the land, ending it's de-
structive career by drowning in the
sea.
Rodents Go Straight On
Nothing on land can stop them.
Driven by some powerful instinct
each one follows his own straight
path.
They never go around anything.
If they come to mountain they
climb over it. If it's a river be-
fore them they swim it.
When they arrive at the sea they
plunge in. The same powerful in
stinct that dove them over the land
drives them to swim out to sea
Onward they swim until they either
lose strength and drown or become
fat meal for some hungry fish
They have been seen out as far as
nine miles swimming hopefully on.
No one has been able to discove,
where the jennings come from and

Conditions during the last grow
ing season in the state were very IA
vorablc for the development Of
smut" he said, referring to the ex-
cessivc moisture during the latter
half of the season. Losses to North
Dakota wheat growers from smut
this year amount to several million
dollars. These losses serve to en-
phasize the necessity Of treating
wheat in the spring for smut pre-
vention.
Estimates from elevator man
ayers and county agents show that
TIC per cent Of the farmers Of
North Dakota treated their seed in
this manner last spring. Formalde-
hyde was the most popular chem
ical, about three times as many
farmers using this as those using
copper carbonate"

North Dakota wheat growers lost
several million dollars through smut
in the last season, according to in
formation received by E. G. Booth
of the state agricultural college at
Fargo.
"One-fifth of the cars from the
northwest received at Minneapolis
were graded as smutty," Booth said
"Smutty cars totaled 1874 per cent
in 1925, 10 per cent in 1926, 1913
per cent in 1927, and POS per cent
this year up to September go"
Indications are, Booth declared.
the final total for 1928 will be about
] per cent smaller, as previous ex-
perience shows that earlier ship
ments contain relatively more smut.

Britain reached a tentative accord
that, for the present, efforts should
be restricted to an agreement on
cruisers carrying guns Of more than
six inch calibre and submarines of

practically means that the eight-inch
gun cruiser would be limited; also
ocean-going submarines. However,
the United States has found this
idea unacceptable on the ground that
it would not curb an armament race,
since it would render possible an

the only thing alive in it, as she sat
before the little apple-green enam-

wide, bemused eyes at her own re-
Election.
Crystal was engaged in her favor
lite pastime-communing with her
self and watching the play of ex-
preston upon her face as she
did so.
After bit she began to talk, in
a soft, low voice, because she liked
to see how her wide, mobile mouth
looked as her lips formed words,
smiled, grinned in what Crystal
thought was a gamin fashion, or
grimaced.
Any one listening and watching
would have pronounced Crystal

Rod reminded her that he would
save-to pay her for the stolen
jewels.

But it isn't so much the way she

planned. "She hasn't acted very
we'll toward you"
I'm what way?" Rod asked de-
fensively.
We'll, she hurried off in pretty
cold-bIooded manner, think" Lila
declared.
"She was excited" Rod re-
piled Loyalty.
Lila patted him on the shoulder.
Good boy" she applauded, but ii
everything is so hunky-dory what
are you worrying about?"
1t was her trump card, mo Rod,
she said as he hesitated for an
answer. Il know you well enough
to see that you're hurt. I've watched
you struggling along under a lot of
debts, trying to make both ends
meet, get ahead, and save money
to build that house you're always
talking about. I've cautioned BERTHE
Lou many times against throwing
money away. But New York went
to her head, I'm afraid"
Rod stared at her as she spoke,
bewildered at the discrepancy be-
tween her statements and BERTHE
Louis.
Lila had risen to her feet and
was leaning against white pillar.
She looked f1awlessly beautiful in
the pale moonlight that lent spirit
uality to her conventionally pretty
features.
Her hair was dressed to fit her
head like a gold cap, and her full
throat rose from a lacy robe de
style gown that was charmingly
feminine and revealing.
Rod could not believe she was
lying. She spoke so earnestly, al
most sadly. IT can't tell you how
sorry am" she went on, because

Her voice trailed off wistfully.
Rod rose to make an answer.
Why, Lila shouldn't say that! He
was happy, perfectly happy. He
was about to tell her so, when
Cyrus joined them, with demand
for Lila to make some sandwiches.
The cook and maid had been
given the evening off. The Lorees
had not expected to entertain to-
night. Cyrus came up and put an
arm around Lila's waist and drew
her to him. Rod was facing them.
What he saw then surprised him
beyond words.

CHAPTER XVIII

A SURGE of hate spread itself
IA over Lila's features, comforting
them into a heeting ugliness. She
turned her head quickly away from
Rods stare.
But even in the moonlight her
expression had been an unmis-
taxable indication of displeasure.
Rod could not see clearly enough to
recognize it as anything more than
that. But it was sufficient to trou-
BILE him.
Thinking it over that night, he
concluded that Lila had no love for
Cyrus. He had come to believe that
she had. But even with that re-
vealing moment on the plaza to en-
tighten him he had not the faintest
idea why she had been so much an
noyed at her husbands demonstra-
ton of affection.
Lila, boiling with resentment over
his intrusion upon her tete-a-tete
with Rod, could have told him.
She could have explained that
Cyrus had spoiled the moment she
had been waiting for-the moment
when Rod needed sympathy, the
moment he seemed bewildered and
doubtful of BERTHE Louis love.
For, despite his loyalty, Lila knew
that he must be bordering over
BERTHE Louis behavior.
She had poudered over it, too,
until she received a clew. In con-
versation with Rod on the subject
of the detective she had engaged,
she asked him if he had told BERTHE
Lou anything that could give her a
hint of their secret. Rod said no,
that he hadn't even told her he was
at Lila's the afternoon he had re-
turned the empty jewel case.
Lila remembered having told Ber-
tie Lou that he had just left her on
that occasion. Casually, she in
quired of Rod how he had explained
his lateness in arriving home, and
he said he believed he had lied
about it.
well, the fats in the fire with
BERTHE Lou" Lila told herself.
Abandoning all hope of deceiving
BERTHE Lou any longer, she decided
to make the most of her erstwhile
friends absence.
When BERTHE Lou returned-if she
ever did-Lika knew that she would
have little or no influence over her,
no further opportunity to lead her
into extravaganza or things that
Rod could criticize.
Perhaps BERTHE Lou might induce
Rod to give up his position with
Cyrus.
There Lila faced the possibility OF
losing him altogether unless she
could complete her sorcery before
his wife returned.
No need now to consider BERTHE
LOUIS friendship. At last she coulo
