By FRs.Nk l. WELLER GA. p. Farm Editor)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2e.-With Secretary Jardine of the Depart ment of Agriculture back of it. bill is before congress proposing a 10-year cooperative program Of predatory animal and rodent con trol and annual appropriations of s1,37s,7O0 to put 1t into effect.
 For more than 12 years the de- partment, through the biological survey, has been working for the control of predatory animals that are injurious to agriculture, forest ", animal husbandry and wild game; and the smaller rodents that feed on growing and stored crops, forest and other nursery stock, and the range grasses that support the farming and livestock industries.
 The 10-year program, if enacted, would be concerned with the con- trol of such destroyers of live stock and game as wolves, coyotes, mountain lions, bobcats, and pre- datory bears, and of such smaller predators as prairie dogs, ground squirrels, pocket gophers, jack rabbits, woodchucks, porcupines. mice, rats, and moles, most of which are called rodents by the scientists. The former, of which the coyote is the most destructive because of his prowess and mum bers. is estimated to take an an nual toll of $SG.0OO.000.
 The damage of rodents is almost too extensive to calculate. The prairie dog alone will destroy 9 to so per cent of the forage on the range he infests. The common rat, however, is the most dsstruc- tive rodent.
 Complete eradication is not con temDlated by the department, an act that is considered neither prac ticable nor advisable. The plan would make their damage negli gible Present appropriations fol the work approximate S5G6,000 [ year, which would be boosted by $S12,OOO under the 10-year pro gram. Cooperative expenditure of funds would continue at the average of about $250 of state funds for every dollar Of fedora money

AND FIANCEE AGAIN
 TAKE TO AIR
Makes Flight Using One Hand-Dislo slocated
 Shoulder Bandaged

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 28.-Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Miss Anne Morrow, following their spill yesterday when they landed their one-wheeled plane and overturned, took the air again today flying a commercial plane which was bor-s rowed at Balbuena.
 Miss Morrow seemed slightly ner- vous just before she stepped into the plane but quickly recovered her composure and appeared perfectly calm as the plane left the ground.
 It is believed that Col. Lindbergh followed the custom of the Army, where fliers are sent back into the air as soon as possible after an accident.
 Col. Lindbergh flew to the Ball. buena Air Field with one hand. His dislocated shoulder is still ban- daged heavily. He said he was feeling fine.
 The couple landed after being in the air 90 minutes.

SEEK HOOTERS IDEA
 ON PRESIDENTS FLAG

PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 28.--Seam- stresses at the United States quar- terinaster's depot here have raised a question about President-elect Hoover's intentions regarding the future of the Presidents flag.
 Will he change the design? they ask, or will he stick to the present emblem. which was made in ac- .cordance with the order of Presi- dent Wilson.
 All the flags for the president and his official family and the army are manufactured at the Quartermaster's depot and It is the Presidents prerogatiye to select or prepare a design for his own flag.

MAKE FIRST ARREST IN GANG MASSACRE IN CHICAGO
FLOODS THREATENING THREE STATES
Mrs. Coolidge Retains Loue for Simplicity
By SUE MCNAMARA "A. P. Feature Writer;

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Leav- ing grandeur for simple, everyday things Of life will be no hardship for Grace Coolidge, wife of the thirtieth President of the United States. She has stepped before from formal existence to an apparent enjoyment of mere house-wlfely affairs and plain living.
 In the formal and luxurious tint ed existence as wife of the chief executive, she became brilliant so- cial figure. Scores of dresses hang in the spacious closets of her quar- ters in the White House. She has had servants on every hand, orchids and roses from the White House conservatories on her dressing table every morning.
 Yet, when Calvin Coolidge re- tired to private life after having been governor of Massachusetts she went buoyantly and happily from the pretentious executive mansion to their Northampton home, thera to don a gingham apron and wield a long handled spoon over yellow bowl.
 Honey Life
 Those who know Mrs. Coolidge best say it will be no hardship for her to give up space and grandeur for the more intimate honey things of life. During their vacation in the Black Hills, Mrs. Reilly, the housekeeper, became ill, Mrs. Cool idge quietly and easily assumed full charge of the Game Lodge and personally attended the market ing.
 The girl bookkeeper of the Rapid City meat market got the thrill of her life every morning when the Presidents wife called up to give her days orders. -
 When notified that MT. Coolidge had been elected vice president his wife said rather wistfully:
 T shall like going to Washing ton, but I know I shall like re- turning to Massachusetts again ever so much better"
 As the wife of the governor of Massachusetts she employed no servants other than middle aged woman who came in to help her at intervals. Tt takes close man. aging to get along these days of the high cost of living" she said. Although my husband has moved up it makes no difference in our mode of living. Why should it? We are happy. We are well and content. We have the necessities of life. We just try to keep our bills paid like any one else"
 Cling To Old Days
 Another time she said:

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 28-While the middle portion of Georgia fac ed the prospect of it's worst flood of several years, continued heavy rains in Eastern Alabama and Northwest Florida sounded an om- inous note for the residents of the lowlands drained by streams that in some cases have gone above flood stage

may do for two other reasons One is that Woodrow Wilson was the last president to order new de- sign. Both President Roosevelt and President Taft had distinctive flags, but the war presidents suc-1 cessors. Harding and Coolidge, have used the same design.
 Another reason for their interest is that on the Wilson flag the eagle of the United States coat-of- arms has it's head turned toward the claw holding number of arr rows, symbolic of war and away from the claw holding the olive branch, symbol of peace.
 At the time the Wilson flag was designed, the direction of the eagles

.Sharkey Wins Decision
 Ouer Stribling At End
 Of Disappointing Bout

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. 28.-- Jack Sharkey, Boston sailor man, last night outpointed Young Strib- ling, Macon, Georgia, heavyweight, in a disappointing 10-round bout.
 Referee Lou Magnolia, at the end of the ten rounds, featured with few sensations, rendered the decision in favor of Sharkey.
 There were no knockdowns and the most serious danger either was in, came to Sharkey in the fourth round. Stribling nailed Sharkey with rights and lefts to the chin, nearly flooring him.
 Successful, Financially
 The match was financial suc- cess as well as a social spectacle, and drew gate above $400,00o with a paid attendance of about 35,000. The tiny Flamingo Park saucer was crammed with celebrities from all over the country.
 Before the fight, Jack Dempsey was introduced. He was greeted by thunderous ovation.
 Jim Corbett, former heavyweight champion, and Paolino Uzcudum, Spanish fighter. were also presented to the crowd.
 Sharkey Is Favorite
 Sharkey was top heavy favorite and won only after a close call from defeat. Only the most des- perate determined rally enabled him to overcome Stribling's early lead. He outweighed by 10 pounds Young Stribling, but the latter al- most matched Jacks 192 pounds with his speed and deception. De spite his arm and rib ailments be- fore the fight, Stribling put up 9 courageous fight before the south Iern crowd, who came to see theil

to the old days. Being the Presi- dents wife is not going to make me think less about the domestic things I've always loved.p
 On leaving the executive man. sion Mrs. Coolidge will have none of the natural, human worries yet dear to the heart of the average woman, of how the place will get along while she is gone. The White House domestic arrange ments move smoothly, impersonal- ly on year after year, regardless of who comes and goes. Each mem- Der of the staff has been there for years.

He thrilled the crowd when he stag- gered his big foe with crashing overland right to the temple but the handicap in weight and the fact that his left arm, which Pa Stribling claimed was almost use- less from the effects of neuritis, took heavy toll in strength and fighting power of the 1.-the, hand some Georgian, who fought game but losing battle from the sixth round on, and was severely pun ished by body attacks
