Field Headquarters, May 13.— by army motor truck to Columbus, N. M., May 20.—The value of the army mule, endangered momen- tarily by automobile trucks, has been vindicated by the results of this campaign. The mules proved more hardy than horses in the bandit chases, They were better able to live off the country. They ate almost ev- erything except rocks and one : kind of rope. The one rope which they would ‘not eat was the Mexican lariat, made of horsehair. They also nibbled at trees, dead weeds, sticks and dirt. Prominent Cass County Man Dead Judge Charles “William Sloan, several months past 73’ years of age, a native of Lafayette Coun: ty, Missouri, a resident ‘of Cass county since early boyhood and a citizen of Harrisonville since 1866, when he began the practice of law here, died at his home, West Wall Street, last night, -Wednesday, May 17, 1916, at about 10 o’clock, says the Cass County Democrat. His death was due to an attack of acute indigestion, combined with heart trouble. ‘ ‘% Ewing C. Bland Files for Appeals Judge. Ewing C.

Fleas are a great ‘annoyance and may cause much injury when they become well established in a home, barn or hog-house, according to L, Haseman of the College of Ag- riculture of the University of Mis- souri at Columbia. The fleas usu- ally breeds around places in which dogs and cats are permitted, but in some cases they use trash and bedding in hog houses and barns | as breeding places. To control an outbreak of fleas, first go to the source of the troub- le, the breeding place. Remove all bedding, trash and other materials containing animal wastes and. fur- nishing shelter, for their young: Use coal oil, stock dip or other ma- terials for spraying. It may take some timé to rid the place but by preventing the pest from breeding and by de- stroying the adults one can soon get relief. When it is known that the blood-sucking fleas are capable of carrying and distributing the germs of such deadly human dis- eases as bubonic plague, one will receive a greater inspiration to keep these pests under control. Missouri fairly outclassed Kan- sas in the athletic comtests at the University of Missouri at Colum- bia last week. In the annual dual meet the Tigers were victors. by a 68 to 41 score: Simpson scored. 25 points and equaled hig-world’s record time in the high hurdle race. the Jayhawker baseball team, taking the first game 8 to 4 and losing the second 9-to 5.
