FARMERS GROW DESPERATE

victims nrc nt their wits' end for n
remedy Melon pntches have been
raided right nnd left and not only has
good fruit been hauled away, but un

where the potntoes have been left in

In all these cases there have been few
captures.
Many a farmer nnd his hired hands
have been watching fields nnd truck
patches over night. A few nights ago
shots were exchanged on a fan.i nenr

given if asked for, but it Is the Idcn of
being "gouged" that hurts the most.

AMBASSADOR HERRICK GETS
A HOME IN PARIS AT LAST
Signs Lease on Palatial Mansion of
Prince de Drogllo
Paris, Sept. 2. The American Am
bassador, Mjron T. Ilcrrick, has finally
found n Paris residence after a search
of a month and a half, during which
the Ambassador and the members of
his stnff. who nssisted him, despaired of
obtaining suitable quarters for nn nm
bassadorial home.
Mr. ilerrick has signed n lease fot
the palatini mansion of Prince nnd
Piincess Jncques dc Broglie, nt 10 Ave
nue de Me-slne. Although the Ambas
sador would not reveal tlicamount paid,
it Is learned that the sum represents
a substantial fortune in France.
Tho mansion, which Is one of the
most beautiful in the exclusive Monccau
Park quarter, Is in sharp contrast with
the simple country villa which Mr.
Herrlck hns been occupying at Garches.
near St. Cloud. Since his arrival on
July 14 the Ambassador has been forced
to live outside Paris in n house which
was originally taken by his son, Pnr
melv Herrlck.
The Ambassador's difficulty in finding
n home has been sympathetically fol
lowed by Parisians nnd the press, the
latter referring to him as "the home
less Ambassador." French 'officials also
nssisted in the senrch for n home.
