The killing of the little pests known as pocket gophers Is fast becoming a thriving Industry In Pottawattamie county and at the rate at which the little rodents are being exterminated the farmers have hopes that eventually they will be practically exterminated. The trapping and killing of the gophers means pocket money for the small boy and girl on the farm and they are not overlooking the opportunity to make hay while the sun ahlnes, so to speak. Since April 1 of this year the rec ords In the office of County Auditor Cheyne show that 41,000 gophers have been killed In the county, on which the bounty at 10 centa per head amounts to $4,100 The per son killing the gopher receives 8 cents and the official appointed by the Board of Su pervisors In the several townships and towns to certify to the killing of the ani mals receives 2 cents per head for his trouble. In order to obtain the bounty the person killing the gopher haa to bring in the two front claws of the animal to th county auditor or the township official au thorized to receive them. mi. 1 ..nim mini mjliimii !.. r"" 'i I' U .11 inm.mii mii n.i'H'eii"r,'i -sw t a"M."t;",S'L fl'v,y;it..iii,!if , H 81 I DILiQ M si 11 'XJJL.t'M'SJ Soda Fountain Drinks Are largely composed of chemical concoctions (colored with coal-tar dye6) and often work havoc with the human stomach, causing dyspepsia, heart burn, and "drying up Of the blOOd," whereat a rich natural barley brew like Gund's Peerless B eer Acts as a tonic and aids digestion, enriches the blood wonderfully and promotes the health and longevity of men and women.

Thrift wo today a guest of the Greater Pes Moines commit tee and endeavored tq .persuade the com mittee to make arrangements for a tem pore ray camp grounds for the army man euvers that wilt be conducted north of the city.
