"BOO-HOO"
Shouts a Spanked Baby.

A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of
a well-known Religious paper, has
written regarding the controversy be-
tween Golfers Weekly and the Re-
ligious Press Of the Country and 9TH
erS, including ourselves. Also regard
ing suits for libel brought by Golfers
against us for commenting upon it's
methods.
These are his sentiments, with some
very emphatic words left out.
"The religious Press owes you a
debt of gratitude for your courage in
showing up Golfers Weekly as the
"Yell-Oh Man" Would you care to
use the inclosed article on the boo
Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Mans
successor"
"A contemporary remarks that Col
lier'S has finally run against solid
hickory Post" and been damaged in
its own estimation to the tune of
$3.50, 100000"
Here is publication which has, in
utmost disregard of the facts, spread
broadcast damaging statements about
the Religious Press and others and
has suffered those false statements to
60 uncontradicted until, not satisfied
after finding the Religious Press too
quiet, and peaceful, to resent the in
suits, it makes the mistake of wander
ing into fresh field and butts it's rat
tied head against this Post and all the
World laughs. Even Christians smile,
as the Post suddenly turns and gives
1t back a dose of it's own medicine"
1T is mistake to say all the World
laughs. No CHEEKY laugh comes from
Golfers, but it cries and boo hoos like
spanked baby and wants $75O,0O0.O0
to soothe its tender, lacerated feel
ings"
Thank Heaven it has at last struck
man with back bone" enough to call
"a spade a spade" and who believes in
telling the whole truth without fear or
favor"
Perhaps Golfers with its utmost
disregard for the facts" may say no
such letter exists. Nevertheless it is
on file in our Office and is only one of

BelIinq a Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house OF
rats is to catch one and fasten bell
about its neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling of that bell
would have great results 1t did have.
In the first place. the rat who wore il
was constantly on the move all night,
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu.
sic. Had the boy tied a harmonica
to another rats tail, the rodents would
have had dance every night
