Elmo V. Cook was in Fort Worth
:.i ,t week-end attending the Fatj been sending inquiries to Mr. Whitc-
for instance on the X ranch In Jeff
Davis couhty where there was once
a twenty section solid prairie dog
town, really alarmingly large, he
claims the territory for his own use
and eats the grass down to the
earth and selects the best part of
the ranches for his habitat. But 80
per cent extermination of the dog
is secured by the first poisoning,
says L. C. Whitehead.
The prairie dog was named by
the Lewis and Clark expedition to
the Northwest who gave him that
name on account of his bark. The
dog is of the sciurtdae family, and
extends from Texas up into Mon-
tana on the east slope of the Rock-
ies. Indians eat the dog, and like
his meat very much, once threaten-
ing a riot in the northwest when
the government, which has taken
into hand the killing off of the
dogs, began a campaign near the
Indian reservation.
Some think that if the prairie
dog which is also a brother of the
ground squirrel, had been named a
squirrel that there would now be
a closed season on him instead of
the government's spending thou-
sands of dollars to rid the country
of his species.
The largest prairie dog Mr. White-
head has ever seen weighed a
pound, and a half.
Mr. Whitehead is of the belief
that if the government for ten years
appropriates the sum of about $49,-
000 annually for use in Texas prairie
dog and pocket gopher eradication
which sum would be matched by an
appropriation by the Texas legisla-
ture that practical complete exter-
mination of the two rodents could
be secured in the ten-year period.
Now that state contributes $7,000
annually and the federal govern-
ment the sum of $11,000 annually
for Texas. With this sum Mr.
Whitehead and five men in his cm-1
ploy are working over a series of
western counties and plan the work i
for several others.
Irion and Reagan county have
head, and that is that it can. be
done successfully only in the fall
and winter. In New Mexico, where
the state kills the dogs the workers
go after the dogs at the middle of
April and cease operations at the
middle of October.
Sharing Troubles
Rome one lius siiid Hint "when
you tell a,friend your froiililis r.n.f
he tells you his, you both luivu
twice ns many troubles us you bad
before.” Rut It Is not true, one
of the quickest ways lo get rid of
troubles, or at any rate to amelio-
rate them, is to pour them into a
sympathetic ear, and to listen, In
(turn, to what the other man tins
suffered. This Is one ease in which
twice one Is not two. The tv.o sets;
of cares and worries are dimin-
ished, rather than Increased, when
they are combined.—Toroulo Star,

Indian Farmers Exploited
Although SO per,cent of the Bast
Indians are agrlcuHurisfk only 2
per cent of these farmers are frte
from debt. Every season they bor-
row for tilling, harvesting and for
marketing, so they nlwhiys work oil
borrowed money. The farmer dyes
not sell la the market, but the prod-
uce Is sold by money lenders, Tflj
establishment of 1 mnnv Industrial
institutions by missionary societies
is proving a practical solution to
the problem.

Overcoming Fear of Dark
Children who suddenly form an
aversion to the dark can often be
helped In overcoming lids fear by
becoming more familiar with the
dark. We might piny games In
dark rooms, and occasionally send
the children to unllghted rooms for
sweets or new toys. Sometime*
{riving a flashlight, which lie him-
self can turn on at n moment'*
notice, has been most helpful.
