"garden submarine," but by using the
ngnt kinii of trap and setting it in the
right place at the right time you get
the blind prowler sometimes. This is
how Prof. Theo.H. ScheffeT, assistant
biologist of the U. 8. Department of
: Agriculture "demonstrated" trapping'
nudes at the Agricultural College: j
j He saw the mole hill from this of-1
: f ice window across the street, recognise-J
mg it by its dome like appearance due
j to the fact that it was formed by dirt
pushed up from below and falling in
j every direction instead of carried out

side as is done by the gitpher. He
took a trap of the gripping-jaw type
(see cut) and a garden trowel and
went out to get that mole.
He selected a place a few inches
from the hill along the line of the
raised ridge and quickly seooped to
the bottom of the runway found below,
lie then packed a little dirt firm but
not hard in the runway almost to the
top. He next set the trap directly over
tins firmed place with the jaws as
tride the runway, and pressed the trig
ger pan just to the level of the surface
of the ground.
That was about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. The next morning T was
first to arrive at the office and went
to the trap, where 1 saw a good sized

down with the end of the trowel han
dle, so that it will be in sung ocnt;iet
with the earth, and hen release the
safety hook that holds the tiows ot

The only bulletin issued by the Ore
gon Agricultural College on trapping
moles also considers preparing and
marketing the skins in order to interest
children who would not trap them just
to get rid of them but will trap them
for profit on the skins. The enclosed
clipping from tho Amity Standard
shows that in one small district of
Vanihill county 6)0 sgins have just
been sold through the county agent
auit that 130 more arc ready for

hundreds of districts of Oregon, and
with the numbers killed by farmers
who arc interested only in ridding
their farms of the pest the mole prob-
1 lem bids fair to bo solved possibly in
a few years at most. The College bul
letin, "Trapping Moles for Market",
contains directions for trapping moles
as practiced by Professors 8ykes, zoo

Ford Plant Making
2500 Ambulances
The following brief interview with
Motor company, speaks the patriotic
and optimistic vision of ono of the
world's most remarkable men:
"Our country your country and my
country is at war. All else must be
forgotten. To end this terrible strug
gle we must win. We've got to win;
there is no other answer.' I am an
American. I want to do everything 1
can for my country, to shorten the
conflict and to win tvith the extreme
minimum loss to the United -States.
"I have offered our Highland Park
to the government for any use to
which it may desire to use it. We are
now making 2500 ambulances there,
and if President Wilson or congress
can suggest anything else for us to do
we will be only too. willing to comply."
"What effect do you think the war
will have on your business " was
asked of Mr. Ford.
He was silent for a few minutes and
then replied: "There is no reason for
the country to be alarmed. While this
war overshadows everything, it does
not mean that the wheels of industry
will stop, or slow up. The factories
will win for us just as surely as will
the men on the firing line. When a
nation is striving toward a single end
there is bound to be plenty to do. It
is not difficult to understand that "

Washiugton, July 14. Approximate
ly $12,000,000 of first fnOrtgngP loans to
farmers at 5 per cent are represented
by chatters to farm loan associations
approved by Jhe federal farm loan
board up to July 1st. These loans are
now being made through the twelve
federal land banks which were estab
lished under the federal farm lonn act.
The legislation creating these banks
was enncted less than a year ago.
The nirmber of farm lonn association?
chartered np to July 1st was 2H0 and
the exact total of money asked for by
luese associations was isi i,tol,Uo. Tne
average amount asked for by each as
sociation was slightly in excess of $50;
000. The average number of farmers in
the 230 associations chartered was ap
proximately 18, making tho average
size loan thus far made about $2500.
'Most of the loans thus far made run
for 3ti years and are retired on the
amortization or partial payment plan
by semi annual payments amounting to j
6 per cent per nnum. Under the ar
rangement provided by this legislation
6 .per cent annual payment made by the
borrower retires both the principal and
interest.
Members of the federal farm loan
board expressed gratification over the
equal distribution of the business
throughout the United States and spe

that the states of hiah land values are
