COLLEGE STUDENTS PRESENT
PLAY.
Union Depot for a Day" Will Be
Presented at the Opera House

Union Depot for Day" is the
name of a rousing comedy with which
the students of the College of Idaho
will entertain the people of Caldwell
on the night of February 23rd at the
Caldwell Opera house. The play is
one which has been produced by anna
teur casts hundreds of times and never
once has it been other than the great
est success. In city and village alike
it has played to crowded houses.
AS the title suggests, the scene is
laid in union depot and shows the
varying types and personalities which
pass through or tarry for time in
the station. Uncle and Aunty Hay
seed are there; the proverbial Mrs.
Garrulous spends several hours in the
station; Mrs. Henpeck and her hus-
band; the willy Mrs. Fishwell and her
victim; the impertinent boot-black,
the mischievous nephew Willie and
his patient aunt, all contribute to the
evenings fun. The cast includes 50
people, each a star in his own way.
The performance lasts about two
hours and keeps going continuous
laugh. These characters will not be
soon forgotten, one cannot afford to
miss seeing them. Aside from the
college students, some of the best mu-
steal talent in the city will assist in
the performance.
The play will be staged as an Ath-
letic Benefit The athletic department
ran behind during the football season,
and will need a good sized fund for
the spring baseball schedule; therefore
the students and other members of the
cast are giving their time, interest and
ability for the cause of athletics.

SIMPLE PLAN
FOR Staying
RATSPROPOSED
CHARLES q. LEWIS WRITES TO
DR.. BRINK OF HIS METHOD OF
GETTING RID OF THE Ro-
DENTS.

Writing from his summer address
in Jacksonville, Ill, to DR.. Brink,
Charles B. Lewis. a well-known winter
resident of this city, offers a sugges-
ton on the subject of rat killing that
may be of interest to those who are
engaged in the crusade against the
pestiferous rodents. The plan of ex-
termination is simple. and like some
medicine, if it doesn't do any good 1t
at least can do no harm. In view of
the fact that it has previously proved
successful, there would seem to be ne
reason why It may not in this city.
The letter follows:
Jacksonville, Ill, July II, 1919.
DR.. r. A. Brink, Pensacola, Fla
Dear Sir: see by The Journal that
you are making an effort to extermin-
ate the rats in Pensacola. l thought
I would give you my prescription for
killing rats.
I put about one-haIf Of a Pint of
cornmeal, two table spoons OF granu-
lated sugar and about as much pull
verified strychnine as a nickle piled up.
Put in a cigar box and set in some dry
place, where II will keep for a long
while. I generally cut a notch out
of one side Of box just long enough
to let a rat go through. I had 1000
bushels of corn cribbed on my farm a
day and there must have been a thou
sand rats under the cribs. I put out

breezes until toward dusk; went in the
surf for an hour or so; ate supper and
returned on the night boat. I went
over with a headache and came back
feeling ten years younger. Night be-
fore last l got on street car and rode
to Bayou Texar, disrobed and put on
my bathing suit and padded a canoe
for something like two miles, swan
across the bayou and back, a distance
of about half a mile, dressed, ate sup

before that took a street car at 10
o'clock and rode out to the bayou and
slept on cot under the pine trees and
was IN the Office the next morning at
1880, breakfast and all other necesst-
ties over. I went to sleep watching
the stars, feeling the cooling breezes
from over 1000 miles of gulf, mixed
with the odoriferous fragrance from
forests Of pines 100 miles each way.

but l am very much interested in

Now, please let me know a little
more about that NJ. & N. Arkansas
railroad you speak Of, now in operation
from Helena to Kansas City, Mo-, and
soon to be connected with Pensacola.

TEAMS SLUMP
TAKES MONEY
FROM LEAGUE
FAILURE OF THE ST. LOUIS CAR
DINALS TO PLAY WINNING
BALL HAS COST AT LEAST
$4,000.
Special to The Journal.

st. Louis, July 27.-AIlowing that the
tips being handed out by the baseball
secretaries, the men who check up the
turnstiles every afternoon, are true,
the National league is not reaping the
financial harvest this season that it did
last. And what's the reason, do you
suppose?
The answer is obvious to baseball
men. 1t is: The Cardinals.
According to testimony given in
court by Mrs. Brttton and her club at
taches, the Cardinals earned upwards
of 100000 last year. That was big
money for q St. Louis club, but it
didn't mean that Only the local club
profted by the squirt of Bresnahan's
team. Indeed, the Cardinals dash
pennantward last year probably en-
ticed upwards of an additional $4,000
into the National league treasury in
various receptacles in Boston, New
York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Philadelphia
and Plttsburg and Brooklyn.
ait" in Gotham.
Reason? Because St Louis is a
popular winner. Indeed, the ideal race
in the National league would be the
Cardinals and New York for pennant
contenders, with the Cubs and Pitts
burg in first division. There was more
interest in baseball in the middle west
last season while the Cards were in
first division than there has or Will be
at any time this season. The Cards
made the race hot one and the sea
son was the most successful financially
in the history of the parent organiza-
ton.
Here's an instance: When Boston
paid the Cards a visit early in August
last year the Hub town team was paid
for q Fridays crowd of 5000, Satur-
days turnout Of 16 900 and a Sundays
jam of 23,500. That was a ltfe-saver
for the poor Braves. This year Boston
came along on July for four games
and played to less than 5000 paid ad-
missions on the series. Can't you see
the angle?
When the Cards went on their big
trip in midseason last year they set at
tendance records at Boston, Brooklyn
and New York The idea Of seeing the
under dog on top appealed to the alien
fans. They came out and rooted for
Roger and his rampant rogues. But
this season the Cards were down In
the nut when they went touring in the
Orient, and consequently the crowds
were small
When the Giants made such run
away race Of It at the start, in
terest Jagged around the circuit es-
pecially in Philadelphia, Boston and
Brooklyn. Also right here at home,
for that matter. However, now that
the Giants are beginning to come back
to the field and the Cards are sprint
ing, there's a chance that all the teams
may recuperate a little Of their losses.

The following correspondence fur
n1sheo by Secretary Henderson OF the

in many parts of the country 1t

industries OF this section. The letter
follows:
Dear Sir: read your article in the
Manufacturers RECORD of June goth on
Wood Waste" Why not make alco-
hOl as we'll? Alcohol is the coming
fuel for every purpose. I will be
pleased to correspond with some of
your folks looking to establishing a
plant of the character. Make alcohol,
turps pine oil, and other products,
then pulp of all there is left. Please
show this to Chemical Engineer C. J..
Roehr. Ask him to write me-

have a continuation of the NJ & N.

bath any old morning and you can run
up and take a muddy bath in the
mighty Mississippi river any hour.
With best wishes,
Very truly yours,
L. A. FITZPATRICK.
Dear Sir: I have yours Of July 23d.
for which l thank you. I note your
reference to wood alcohol, etc. We are
now negotiating with a large wood
alcohol concern, in fact two of them,
with a view to getting them to estab-
fish plants in Pensacola, or near here,
to make wood alcohol from saw dust.
The process of extraction used by
Chemical Engineer Roehr produces all
the turp pine oil in marketable shape
that the pine wood has.
Our plan is to utilize all Of the waste
First, utilize waste lands by clearing
them Of stumps: then take the turpen-
tine, rosin and pine oils from the wood,
and use the residue for pulp. Saw
dust Is not suitable for making paper
pulp therefore, after extraction, the
sawdust will be used for making wood
alcohol or wood flour. Then we pro-
pose to use the byproducts from va
rious chemicals which are necessary in
making the paper pulp, etc.
