His religion was not a profes sion; it was his life. For almost a half a century of manly living he wrotrt hie eulo;;y upon the hearts of those who knew him, and there it will remain untarnished while Cod's ge come and go. Cod's purpose we may not know; His love we may always trust. Whate'tr niy Cod ordains is right. Here will I take my stand, Though sorrow, need or death make earth For me a desert land. My Father's care H round me there, He holds me that I shall not Tall; And so to Him I leave it all. HOW TO KILL GOPHERS IN THE ALFALFA FIELDS Superintendent William Foster of the state board of agriculture has de clared war on the Industrious goph ers. These are practlically the only pests that afflict the alfalfa growers (,fl the state. "The use of concentrated lye will aid in the extermination of gophers until the scientists devise a more speedy way of killing them," he said. "These pests in alfalfa fields cause thousands of dollars in damage and it takes hard work to thin tliejn out. 1 believe that the scientists will discover some method of disease propagation in th near future." Mr. Foster used a wagon rod to find the runway between the gopher mounds. Through the hole made by the rod he then sifted some powder eel concentrated lye into the runway. He then covered the opening, thus darkening the runway. A part of the lye adheres to the feet of the gopher. The aii'imal attempts to lick the lye from its fuel and death fuller. A gopher bounty bill was Introduc ed In the last legislature, but failed to pass. A number of the members did not realise the extent of the haute wrought by the gophers and considered the nioasure in the na ture of a jest. Want to tell your furniture?
