? •- FRIDAY, APRIL a, ivw Poison Field Mice To Save The Crops Field mice damage vine crops, es pecially in the commercial melon section, and also various garden plants, says County Agent P. B. Ezell. Mice going through ground mole burrows locate and eat seed, necessitating replanting frequently and in many cases reducing the stands. Control of mice is obtained by means of a poison bait and by string ing the seed out from one foot to 18 inches for each hill. A poison bait may be made by psing 1-4 ounce of strychnine sulfate, 1 pint of simple syrup or cane syrttp, and 1 pint of water. Handle strychnine with care, for it is a deadly poison. Bring to boil, cool, add two or three saccharine tablets. Use the poison syrup on old melon, cucum ber, or cantaloupe seed, grain, pea nuts, or small cubes of cheese, and soak overnight. This amount of poi son syrup should treat six to nine quarts of bait. NOW IS THE TIME TO LEARN TO FLY The age of aviation is here! Modern Airplanes are safer than your automobile.

M15-4tc THE NEWHEKKY auN The distinguished accomplishments of OUR REGULAR ARMY IN PEACE • • • AS WELL AS IN WAR • • • ON ARMY DAY, APRIL 6 I Sgt. Danby, Recruiter, will be at Ex. Bank Building Monday, Wednesday, and Friday all day Every American can speak with knowing pride of the magnificent conduct of American soldiers—at Valley Forge . .. New Orleans ... at San Juan Hill... Verdun and the Argonne Forest... the Normandy Beaches, Okinawa, Bastogne and Bataan. | But not every American is as familiar with the remarkable work done by our Regular Army during peace. The Military Establishment not only carries out the commitments of this country abroad . . . not only maintains the training facilities that will help defend our shores ... but also carries on ceaseless research for the advancement of nearly every phase of American life. JIhe first railroad in America was built by the Army. Army engineers surveyed, constructed and managed for a time such well-known railroads as the Baltimore and Ohio; the Northern Central; the Erie; the Boston and Providence; the New York, New Haven and Hartford; the Boston and Albany, and many others, thus helping co develop rail communication. The Army built the Old Cumberland Pike, running from Cumberland, Maryland, to St. Louis, Missouri, and recog nized as the most effective influence in opening up the Middle West. Beginning with the construction of the old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Erie Canal, Army engineers have worked upon virtually every navigable body of water in the country. ' ' / The gas mask, developed in World War I by the Chemical Warfare Service of the U. S. Army, is used to protect firemen, miners, and chemical workers, especially where there is danger of carbon-monoxide, ammonia or other deadly fumes. Gases and flame-throwers, developed by the Chemical Warfare Service, are being used extensively to extermi nate locusts, the boll-weevil, the corn borer, potato hopper and other pests ruinous to crops. Army Engineers have led all other agencies in flood prevention, through the building of locks, dams, levees and sea walls. In 1918, the Signal Corps accomplished the first success ful radio message from airplane to ground, and a few years later successfully demonstrated the first airplane radiotelephone. The Lewis and Clarke expedition that opened up tha Northwest was conducted by the Army. Army engineers increased the depth of Boston Harbor from 18 to 35 feet and widened it from 1Q0 to 1200 feet. They also developed the ports of Houston, Texas, and Los Angeles, and co-operated in the development of New York harbor. The development of airplane apparatus with which to spray fields and orchards is an important part of the work of the Chemical Warfare Service. Army fliers have saved the people of the United States millions of dollars in timber and flood control by detect ing forest fires unseen by ground observers. • Army fliers have protected and saved the lives of thou sands of our citizens stranded on inaccessible mountain tops, marooned on ice-bound boats, or cut off from sur face travel by flood or fire by dropping supplies or actually rescuing them. They also fly precious serums to the sick, and patients to hospitals. \ ^ I ^Lerial mapping and photography by the Army Air Forces has aided in charting large sections of swamp areas, impassable mountain ranges, and other heretofore unexplored regions both on land and sea. Army Engineers erected the imposing Washington Monument in the nation’s capital; they built the wings and dome of the Capitol; and supervised the construc tion of the Lincoln Memorial, the Library of Congress, the Government Printing Office, the Agricultural Build ing, and other famous buildings. THE TIME of the Alaska gold rush, the only lin. Americans had with civilization was the Alaska cable, constructed and operated by the U.S. Army Signal Corps / • Army men, under the direction of Major Walter Reed, discovered the cause and remedy for yellow fever in one of the most heroic stories in the annals of our history. Thus, the building of the Panama Canal, the digging of which was done by Army Engineers, was made possible after repeated failures on the part of others. The radio beacon was a development of the Signal Corps, and after successful tests the plans and specifica tions were turned over to the free use of commercial manufacturers. The radio system established by the Army between Nome and St. Michael, Alaska, in 1904, was the first in the world regularly to operate commercially over a distance of 100 miles. The successful operation of these two stations was due to the inventions and experiments of a Signal Corps officer. In times of disaster, such as the San Francisco fire in 1906, and the Ohio and Mississippi River Valley floods in 1936 and 1937, it was the Army that took charge of disorder and administered the emergency relief forces until civilian organizations could take over. THIS MESSAGE OF PUBLIC IMPORTANCE IS PUBLISHED BY THE FOLLOWING FIRMS: Army engineers initiated most of the accurate methods which are now employed in the geodetic, topographic, and hydrographic surveys of our possessions. The Corps of Engineers of the U. S. Army built Bonneville Dam, making it possible to irrigate lands and furnish water-power for public utilities in communities in Oregon and Washington. The Army has flown across the country with the speed of sound. The Army Signal Corps has contacted the moon by radar. ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ A GOOD JOB FOR YOU U. S.
