The State game warden of Mary

mends other repellents as follows
Three ounces of EPSON salts to one
gallon OF water, one teaspoon of
creolin to one gallon of water, or
lime or bloodmeal busted on the
foliage while it is wet.
Trapping is recommended by the
Fish and Wildlife Service of the
Department of Interior, and this
service issues a leaf1et describing
the building of the traps (Wildlife
Leaf1et 1867.
Moles can be trapped, although it
may be difficult to purchase metal
traps during the present emergency.
Poison gases, such as carbon bisul-
phide and calcium cyanide, may be
injected into their tunnels and in
most cases will either kill or drive
them out. This same procedure
may be used against field mice and
ground squirrels.
Poison bait, prepared by cover
ing dice sweet potatoes or carrots
with powdered strychnine, or oats
soaked in solution containing the
strychnine may also be used to
control mice and chipmunks. How
ever these are deadly poisons and
great care must be used in their
preparation, handling and use. Put
these bats where pets and children
cannot reach them.

port that their
vegetables are being harvested by
legged pests. To them the
animals are even more discouraging
than the insects Rabbits devour
whole rows of plants overnight,
while the bugs only chew holes in
few at time.
Rabbits and many other small
animals live in greater numbers in
the parks and suburban areas than
in the country. And it is for this
reason that many gardeners will
find these pests somewhat difficult
to deal with. Rabbits love the ten
der young leaves of beans, peas,
cabbages, beets and carrots. Moles,
fleldmice, rats, ground squirrels or
chipmunks and the common squirrel
can be a nuisance. although they
are seldom as destructive as the
rabbit.
Rabbits may be controlled in sew

Repellents may be sprayed on the

talk between the two leaders
could bring 1t closer.
Stain to Hear Results.
The decisions reached In Wash
ington between the American
and the British strategy trainers
were forwarded to Stain as soon
as they were put in concrete
form. They must have reached
Moscow by now.
How the Russian leader will
look on them nobody here knows.
But since the strategy for 1943
has been established definitely
after long and exhaustive discus
sion, 1t cannot be changed unless
there is some dramatic shift on
any Of the far-fung fronts.
1t is said that the principal
reason the Russian Premier is
hesitant about meeting his west
ern colleagues IS that a major
of1ensive-the most spectacular
OF the war-is expected on the
Eastern front in the next few
weeks. Stain, as commander in
chief, must be with his general
STAN day and night. He does not
interfere with details OF the mill
tary operations, but has the last
word in all vital decisions.
Under the circumstances, it is
impossible for him to leave head
quarters. On the other hand, he
cannot assume the responsibility
OF receiving President Roosevelt
In some place in the U. S. S. r.
which might become the target
OF Nazi artillery and planes.
Prefers Present Post.
OF course, he would not hesi-
tate to abandon his post for day
or so If a meeting with Mr..
Roosevelt would have a mo-
mentous effect on the course OF
the impending battles. But since
this cannot be the case, Stain
prefers to remain at his military
post and choose better time In
the future to participate in a
general powwow with his west
ern allies.
Military observers are unani-
nous in their belief that, regard
less of Nazi propaganda, the most
vicious battles of the war will be
witnessed on the plains of Russia
this summer. Tie Nazis are con-
centrating every ounce of their
remaining strength on the east
ern front.
In order to crush the third
Nazi attempt to get Russia out
of the war, the Red armies need
two things-more supplies OF all
kinds and second front to COM
pei the German high command to
move at least so divisions from
east to west.
We are sending supplies to
Russia as fast as they can be
shipped across the Atlantic.
Stain knows this and a confer
ence with Mr.. Roosevelt would
not increase the volume Of ship
ments.
AS to the question Of a second
front in Western Europe, he al
ready has the answer In the
minutes Of the Washington staff
meetings.

The Political Mill
Course Of War Introduces Powerful Factor
In Polling Sentiment for 1914 Election

along with the winners-"if you
can't lick 'em, jine EN-"
AS a rule, polling agencies have
had little difficulty when the
trend OF public sentiment has set
strongly in one direction. The
rub has come for these pollers
when sentiment is shifting. It is
not so easy to catch the change,
no matter how scientific the
method Of polling claims to be.
There was one marked failure
to catch this change Of sentiment
last fall by national poll which
went entirely haywire on the con-
gressional election results, claim
ing that the Democrats would
make practically no losses In Con-
gress.
The interesting part of the
Fortune poll lies in the divergence
OF opinion about fourth term for
President Roosevelt, on the basis
Of war or no war. If the poll is
a correct reflection Of sentiment,
1t does look as though the Ameri-
can people have about reached
the conclusion that an indef1-
mite tenure of office for a Presi-
dent Of the United States is
rather terrifying, for a free peo-
pie. Also. 1t would appear that
the people, when aroused by too
much government interference
in their affairs, will demand a
change.
War Victories Play Part.
The war has taken on tre-
mendous political stature for the
American people. The improved
situation for the United Nations
in recent months undoubtedly
has had It's effect. The victory in
North Africa, the defeat Of the
Japanese in naval engagements,
In the Solomons, in New Guinea,
and more recently in the Aleu-
tians have all contributed to a
feeling that the handling of the
war by the President has been
effective.
The constant bombing Of Ger
man cities and Axis held terri
tory, showing growing superb
ority in the air, has helped this
feeling still more. 1t is not some
thing than can be discounted,
when the coming political cam
paign is weighed.
There is evidence that the
American people as a whole are
far more favorably inclined to
great activity in world affairs
than they were before Pearl
Harbor. This may be denied
by die-hard isolationists. But for
the time being it is true.
Isolationists Wait Chance.
Whether there will be a sliding
back to the old isolationist posi-
ton once the war has been won,
remains to be seen. Don't think
for minute that the isolationists
are all dead, or even strongly
converted. Many of them are
biding their time. An evidence
of this is the passionate efforts
of some to sink the candidacy of
Wendell L. Willkie for the Re-
publican presidential nomination.
To them Mr. Willkie is an in
ternationalist at heart, even to a
greater extent than is President
Roosevelt. They complain bit
terly that il Mr.. Willkie and the
President run again, the people
will have no choice.
Well, that is not true at all.
And certainly II the sentiment
for greater international collabo-
ration after the war has waxed
high, then the COP would have
little chance if it puts forward
a man lukewarm or even hostile
to that idea. If the majority OF
the people are for collaboration,
it seems sensible thing to take
the issue out Of the political
rarnaior

the War OF the Revolution and
against laughing at the words and
sayings the English have, and SO
forth and so on.
After four months In England. I
am preparing a booklet for the
American soldier to read before he
returns to America. I have been
here long enough to know that he
has absorbed entirely too much Of
England and its habits and customs
to sail past the Statue of Liberty
with perfect confidence that he will
be accepted as an American when
he gets home. The tentative title of
my book is, How an American
Should Act When He Gets Back to
America" or Forgive Me for Be-
coming a Foreigner in Such Short
Time"
Pamphlet Is Needed.
There can be no denying to those
Of us who have watched Americans
slowly become British In talk, ac-
ton and attitude that there Is a
need for such pamphlet. AL you
have to do to become convinced is
to see corporal from Pigeon Run.
Miss, life his glass Of beer and say.
Cheers"
Here is some OF the advice my
book offers. When you get back to
Missouri and the elevator doesn't
work, don't turn to your companion
and say. Il take dismal view OF
this lift" If you do, your companion
is likely to hit you. Don't use fiat"
when you mean apartment. Don't
say you live 'In such and such a
street" when you mean you live on
a street.
Don't think you can make the
girl you love accept your most de-
voted proposal by offering her a
package Of fig newton cookies or
package Of Beeman's gum. The
cookies and the gum were scarce
over here, but 1t might be different
at home. Don't try to bribe the
girls old man with 10-cent cigar
just because cigars are hard to get
over here and father Is willing to
say "Yes" to almost anything in
order to get smoke with Havana
wrapper. Don't think you can get
a nice dowry by pulling out Robert
Burns panatella.
Also, keep in mind that at home
salted peanuts are not on the gold
standard. You can't get by with a
can Of Planters Peanuts for an an
niversary, wedding or birthday pres
ent.
Napkins Scarce.
When you get home try quickly
to adapt yourself to using a napkin
at the table. 1 know you haven't
seen a napkin for months or years,
but try hard to break yourself of
the habit OF wiping your lips and
chin with the back OF your hand a
la Henry the Eighth.
Don't talk pence, shilling. half
crown and pound. There still exist
such things as pennies, dimes, quar-.
ters and dollars.
When you ask directions for the
subway, don't inquire of the guard
the way to get to such and such a
place on the underground or the
tube. When someone asks you how
to get to certain street, don't tell
him to take the first turning on
the right or the first turning on the
left or to go to the top of the road.
Tell him to go so many blocks and
turn right or left.
And, above all else, don't say TIA"
when you mean thanks"

Silver Stars Stopped By Hills Last Night
Lathrop In Superb Form Final Score 5 to 2

In game staged at Washington Park last night the Silver Stars rallied by the superb" pitching of Georgie Lathrop, held the Amateur league champs to 3 run victory. This finish would not have been thought of at the beginning of the game. Lathrop kept the Hills in check pretty well up into the last of the fifth inning, at which time the Hills drove in the three winning runs. And that kind of pitching against team such as the Hills is not to be sneered at. This game was the first of a home to home series arranged by Managers Win Maloney and Pat Quilter of the Sil- yer Stars and Hills respectively. The second game of this series will be staged within the next month.
 For the Hills five runs came In two in the early part of the game and three in the latter part of the game. The winning pitcher for the Hills was Latino, who allowed hits and two runs For the Stars Lathrop gave out 6 hits and five runs. This game was terminated at the end of ' innings by mutual consent.
 With little more stress on the batting power and on the infield the Stars ought to be able to give the Hills setback in the return game
