Bellinu q Rat.

You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid house OF
rats is to catch one and fasten a bell
about It's neck. A boy in Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago
He was badly bitten In making tho
bell fast. but he turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling OF that bell
would have great results. II did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore It
was constantly on the move all night.
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in tho next tho sounds
brought scores Of new rats TO the
house Instead of being afraid of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu.

one has been arranged Il has been
suggested by two or three OF the
most prominent growers OF wool in
Umatilla county that they refuse to
sell on sales 6hy or any other time

and send u man east with them TO
dispose OF the wool direct TO the
manufacturers. They argue that In
this manner II will be possible to
cut out the middlemen and their
profits and thereby obtain a better
price than formerly for their pro-
duct.

buyers combine there comes the re-
port that a number of mill men. In
