FOR CONGRESS:
J. HARRY CONVICTION
TO Get Rid Of Rats.
OF TALBOT COUNTY

Persons who have used traps as
a means of Kidding a house of rats
say that the simple device having
a wooden base and half circle
spring is the most effective. 1t
should be placed near their runs or
baited with a favorite food. AS a
rule, poisons are regarded as more
satisfactory. One OF the cheapest
and most effective poisons for rats
and mice is barium carbonate, or
barytes. This mineral has the adj
vantage of being without taste or
smell, and in small quantities used
in poisoning rats and mice is harm
less to large animals. Its action is
slow, though it usually impels rats
that have eaten it to leave the
premises in search of water, and in
consequence the rats are likely to
die outside. The poison may be
fed in the form of dough made of
one-fifth barytes and four-fifths
meal, but a more convenient bait
is ordinary oatmeal with about one
eighth of it's bulk in barytes, mixed
with water, into stiff dough; or
the barytes may be spread on bread
and butter or moistened toast. The
prepared bait should be placed in
the rat runs, small quantity in
place. If a single trial fails to drive
all the rats from the premises it
should be repeated with a change
of bait. The two poisons most COM
monty used for rats are arsenic and
phosphorus. One or the other of
these is the basis of nearly all of
the commercial preparations. The
Government Biological Department,
which recommends barytes, does
not recommend either of the latter.

The New Leader.

Or shall we call to leadership a new
man from the outside, from the ranks
Of the people, in sympathy with their
lives and their ideals, holding their
viewpoint, consecrated to their serv-
ice? Such a man Is Woodrow Wilson.
AS son of the soldier who fought
to uphold the principles for which
Abraham Lincoln stood and as a son
of Republican president, can see
only one duty for myself-to give
heartily my influence and my vote for
principle and not for the name Of a
party long since divorced from its SYM
pathy for the common man.
Verify, I believe that tho principles for
which Woodrow Wilson IL fighting arc
tho principles for which my father
fought, and that he alone among tho
presidential candidates measures up to
the standards of courage, conscience
and capacity of the leader whose hand
my father helped to uphold.
Old voters. as well as new, l beg Of
you not to be deceived by names and
prejudices. Open your minds to the
truth and vote in its light.

and tho Interests.
Jesse r. Grant, son Of General Ulys.
ses s. Grant, commander in chief of
the Union army in the civil war and
Republican president Of the United
States from 1869 to 1877, links the
generation of war veterans and the
young voters of today in the following
appeal, made public by him at his
home in New York:
To the Voter, Especially the New
Voter:
We are facing the 9Th Of November
issues Of momentous Importance to the
future of the United States. Shall the
old order of things continue? Shall
our economic life be deter1nined-shall
our government continue to be domi-
mated by the thoughts, the desires and
the interests of those who have been
the principal benef1ciaries Of that gov
ernment's patronage or shall the pow
er of government be handed back to
the whole people to be administered
for their common good?
1t was similar issue hfty-tWo years
ago, when there arose from out of ILL.,
nois a new leader, who held human
rights to be greater than property
rights, whose thoughts were not the
old thoughts, whose vision Of justice
had not been clouded by association
with the ruling interests.
We are at the threshold Of a new
period of transition. Shall the door be
blocked by men who cannot see ahead?
Shall we elect to follow men who,
while clothed with official power, nur-
tured privilege and fostered monopoly
and who now propose nothing better
than to legalize and regulate monopo-
ly and make US live under it the rest
Of our lives?

confines of the reasonable value OF
one billion dollars, and there is not a
tenabIe argument against having 1t
returned for taxes at such value.
"Why jurisdictions follow the Gus
tom of returning property for purposes
of taxation at one-tenth to one-fourth
its value and then Ievying a tax for
five times higher than it ought to be,
is ncomprehensibIe."
"The easiest way to show the peo-
pie of New Mexico how low their to-
tai return Of $77.ooo,ooo property for
taxation is to call their attention to
the fact that the railroads alone are
worth three times that sum; the
buildings and lots are worth five times
that sum: the timber and coal are
worth ten times that sum; agricultural
lands are worth fully that sum; the
sheep and cattle are worth more than
twice that sum. | may not be exactly
correct in some of these figures, but
in a general sense they ssre true. Any
one of five or six different items OF
taxable property in New Mexico is to-
day worth several times the entire
present tax return of our new state
"The system of assessment is some.
thing that requires thought, but many
good systems are known and to my
mind it is the true policy of every
jurisdiction to return property for tax
alton at it's reasonable market value,
honestly assessed, and then to have a
very low constitutional limitation on
the rate of taxation. This is fair to
everybody and every interest"
