RATS AND MICE TAKE HEAVY TOLL FROM FAMRERS
Losses In Indiana Averages $50 Per Farm; Campaign To Destroy These Pests.
While man has, waged war on rodent pests, particularly rats, and mice for centuries, and although practical controls have been developed comparatively little progress has been made in their eradication. The reason for this condition, according to Prof. J. J. Davis, head of the Department of Entomology, Purdue University, in speaking before the Farmers’ Short Course, January 17, is largely due to the facts that we do not recognize the real significance of these pests and as a result the fight has not been systematized. The losses from rodent and other vertebrate pests in Indiana is more than $10,000,000 or approximately $50, every year for every farm in the state. Field mice, which are most conspicuous because of their damage to fruit trees, and also damage planted seed, grain, alfalfa and clover, are readily controlled by proper methods of poisoning. Ground hogs which are annoying and destructive in meadows, clover and alfalfa fields, and vegetable gardens, are easily destroyed by gassing with carbon bisulphid or calcium syanide. Rabbits, which are a serious detriment to the orchard interests of Indiana, are unfortunately protected by a state law and cannot be destroyed excepting during a limited season, and hence we are largely d'oendcnt on protecting the trees with wire screen or paper collar protect-
ors.
Rats and mice are the biggest factors in rodent pest losses for they also are responsible for threefifths of the total losses by rodents. They are objectionable not only because they are annoying in the household f but in addition they de
Pays Tribute To LaFollette

HOW TO PROTECT CLOTHES FROM THEMOTHPEST
Care and Proper Use of Insetides Will Save Much Valuable Apparel.
At the present season the tiny cream colored clothes moths or millers are commonly observed flying about n the house and it becomes necessary to take extra precautions, especially in storing winter furs and woolens. A little care in storing clothing may prevent much damage later. Professor J J. Davis, head of the Entomology department of the Purdue Agricultural Experiment station, makes
the following suggestions:
Garments to be stored for the season should be brushed thoroughly and hung out of doors for a day,

From the general counsel and legislative agent of the league, the committee learned that the campaign to bring about national prohibition had cost the dry organizations of the country $35,000,000 and that expenses during the in? tensive years of the fight immediately preceding enactment of the eighteenth amendment mounted to
$2,500,000 annually.

The Purdue university flock of Rambuillots is the first to qualify for a gold medal in the Hqpsier Gold Medal Sheep club this year, it was announced today by Claude Harper, state leader of the club. The lambs that went to market out of the flock sold for twenty cents a pound, their desirable market weight, finish and general quality commanding the price. The 21 ewes in the flock raised 26 lambs and 22 of these weighed an average of 72 pounds each at 100 days of age, exceeding considerably the rules laid down by the club in order to
win a medal.
In discussing the handling of the flock, Samuel Breese, shepherd in charge of the university flock, said, “After the lambs were born they were kept in a small pen with their mothers until three or four days old. They were then moved to larger pens where several ewes and lambs were kept together and. the entire lot could all get more exercise. A lamb creep was placed /on one side of this larger pen before the lambs were a week old in order that they might have access to a grain ration. Inside this creep was a flat bottomed trough
LAW INQUIRE INTO STORY TOLD BY EVANGELIST
Officers Want To Know How Mrs. McPherson Was Kidnapped from the Beach.
Los Angeles, Cal., June 24.—Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, mother of Mrs Aimee Semple McPherson, evangelist and self-styled healer, left yesterday by train for Douglas, Ariz., to watch at the bedside of her daughter, who staggered into the border city from Mexico yesterday morning, telling a story of kidnapping, torture and ransom demands. On the same train went Deputy District Attorney Joe Ryan with instructions from his superior, District Attorney Asa M. Keyes, to investigate the alleged kidnapping
“to the bottom.”
The thousands of followers of Mrs. McPherson in southern California, who last Sunday had conducted three impressive memorial services in honor of her memory with her flower-bedecked chair standing empty on the Angelas temple platform, yesterday were first stunned and then rocked with joy at the news of her discovery in Douglas. ' v | Through the halo of joy that surrounded the temple, there penetrated yesterday the cold eye of
official investigation.
“How was a woman like Mrs. McPherson, known almost all over the civilized world, kidnapped in broad daylight from a crowded beach?” was one of the questions set down by District Attorney Keyes to be propounded in his in-
quiry into the affair. Why Reward Moves?

VALUE OF MILK FOR POULTRY
Buttermilk and Skim Milk Has About Equal Value for Feeding Purposes. Experiments at Purdue univers ity Poultry department conclusive ly prove that all poultry needs animal protein of some sort the year around. Many years of work have been carried on with skim-milk and dried butter milk. Feeding of any one of these three products along with bran and middlings increased egg production about 100 eggs per hen as compared with a ration containing no milk or any animal pro-
tein.
Any form of skim milk or buttermilk produces similar egg production with meat scraps or fish scraps or tankage when fed to either leghorns or Plymouth rocks. The only objection to milk is the mechanical problems connected with it, such as increased labor, said Prof. A. G. Philips recently. The feeding of milk to laying hens brought return of from $1.82 to $5.00 per 100 pounds of milk fed. This is greater than can be obtained from feeding milk to hogs. Milk must not be compared with other animals proteins wholly on the protein basis, since its palatabity, ease of digestibility and general availability on the farm must also be given consideration. For chicks, milk is almost a necessity since most people can raise chicks easier and better with less mortality and better quality, when milk is given as the sole liquid diet.

Two Kidnappers Remaining In Jail Bluffton, June 24—No further action was taken today in the case of the kidnapping of Miss Evelyn Wilson, 12, from the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Amos Byrd of near Tocsin. Two of the alleged kidnappers, Mrs. Dora Sullivan, of Vincennes, the girl’s mother, and her son, Willard Wilson, are still in the Wells county jail unable to give bond. The third member of the trio charged with kidnapping, Albert Schrlnger, 19, of Elwood, was released from custody late Monday when his father and aunt gave bond. It is understood that Mrs. Sullivan and her son hope to give bond sometime this week. If they cannot secure bond, they will have to remain in the local jail until the September term of court opens. o — RAILROAD AIDS DAIRY CALF CLUBS
Pennsylvania System Assists In Locating Good Animals and In Making Awards.
Dairy Calf clubs are again being sponsored this year by the Pennsylvania railroad throughout the state of Indiana in co-operation with the Purdue university Boys and Girls club department. Many banks, civic organizations and industries directly interested m dairy products are co-operating locally wth the Pennsylvania and Purdue in organizing these clubs. The Pennsylvania railroad, through its agricultural department is assisting to locate high grade animals suitable for club use, through the railroads agricultural agent, Russell G. East, of Shelbyville, embossed prize ribbons for each Ind. The Pennsylvania also offers local club and in addition awards a $50 educational trip annually to the boy or girl in Indiana who makes the best record in dairy calf club

MACKINAC ISLAND POPULAR RESORT
One Spot In Country Where Honk of Auto Horn Is Never Heard.
Mackinac Island, popular Michigan summer resort located in the Straits of Mackinac at the junction points of three great lakes—Superior, Huron and Michigan, is one of the few remaining points on the North American continent where the honk of an Automobile horn is never heard. The island is eight miles in circumberence; its main plateau is 150 feet above the level of the lakes and some of the high points are 300 feet above the water level. The primitive grandeur of the island has never been distrubed by any of the surface indications of our modern civilization. No motor cars are allowed on the island to disturb the quiet charm and the thunder of railroad trains or the rattle of street cars are never
heard.
The horse and buggy is the only mode of travel over the miles of gravel roads that thread the island in all directions. When the tourists step on the wharf at Mackinac the first thing that arrests the attention of all is streets filled with spanking teams and canopy topped rigs. It is like a page out of the past and brings back a flood of memories to the older visitors. The season begins in earnest at Mack inac Island with the~arrival of the first D. and C. seamers from De-
troit and Chicago.
The Detroit and Clevland Navigation company which operates the largest fleet of passenger steamers on the Great Lakes, employes the steamers Eastern States and Western States during the summer season between Detroit, Mackinac Island and Chicago, sailing from Detroit every Tuesday, Thursday and aSturday, begnnig June 24th, and from Chicago every Monday, Thursday and Saturday. The round trip between Chicago and Detroit requires four days and is one of the most delightful of the short summer tours on the lower lakes as the boats sail through the rivers and narrow channels during the daylight hours and a lay over of three hours is permitted At Mackinac Island on both the upbound and
downbound trips.
Another delightful cruise is the round trip between Chicago, 111., and Buffalo, N. Y., which requires - eight days and covers Lake Michbj^Hi gan, Lake Huron, Lake St. Clai and Lake Erie. Stopover^ are permitted at Mackinac Island, Detroit and Niagara Falls. Wm

Friends and foes of the McNavy Haugen farm relief bill in the Senate were so evenly divided today that the fate of the measure is in doubt. Advocates of the bill claim that it will be supported by twenty democrats and believe that these votes, combined with votes of twen-ty-two republicans, will be sufficient to pass it. The margain of votes is so close that the passage or failure of the bill now depends upon the absentee list when the final vote is taken Wednesday or Thursday.

Maintaining Adequate Car Supply
Absence of car shortages and repeated statements by shippers of satisfactory car supply in all parts of the country clearly show that the railroads are affording satisfactory car distribution to meet transportation demands. In order to maintain this situation, steps already have been taken by the American Railway Association to get the railroads ready to handle, this fall, without transportation difficulty, what is expected will be the heaviest freight traffic ever offered. Advance estimates for 1926 indicate that the transpor- ^ , tation problem this autumn will he greater than before. I ) Adequate provision for the proper handling of bituminous < > coal constitutes one of the most important matters for the railroads to take care of. Satisfactory handling of the peak coal and crop movements will require the greatest possible co-operation between shippers, receivers and railroads and the prompt movement of empty cars and their loading and unloading without delay. I suggest to shippers that they study their own situation with a view of bringing about heavier loading of freight curs and a reduction in the amount of equipment required. Correspondence is invited; this railway gladly will furnish any information requested and willingly co-operate with its patrons in order io farther improve the transportation service now being .rendered.
