good cat will beat trap every time,
as it will pounce on many a rodent
that ventures from a harbor for a
moment. Cats will destroy young
rats, up to the half-grCwn size, by
the dozen. And some cats will de-
stroy full-grOWn rodents. The tab
bies that will put in most Of their
time faithfully hunting rats and mice
are well worth keeping around the
barns and they deserve good treat
ment. They will prevent much in
crease of the rodents, if indeed they
do not exterminate them ram plet ely.
Rats are rather shy and cunning
when it comes to getting fast in a
trap, but by their use some Roadway
can be made in reducing a colony,
especially when the rodents are very
numerous. Wire cage traps usually
give fairly good results; when one
rat goes in others follow. By keep
ing spring traps set all the time in
the runways one is sure to get some
Of the rodents.
Poison must always be used with
some caution, since if carelcssly put
out it may do more harm than good.
When spread in the runways Of the
rodents under floors, where other
animals cannot reach it, it will be
productive Of the results you intend
1t to produce, and there is little like
hhood Of it doing other damage.

Additional Letters
From the People
A FRIEND THINKS T. r.. WIS Eff.
FORTS SHOULD BE SUP
PORTED.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Your letter
at hand several days ago. Words
can't express my grief because of
conditions of things. I have felt for
a long while that you were carry
ing a load too heavy for any
half dozen men, and how you held
up under it, could tell, and you
say, that you have fought these 20
or more years for the poor, and the
poor are getting poorer, and it seems
have about given over, and the out
look to me is very gloomy. I have
approached quite a number on the
line that you suggest, and the re-
plies are appalling, the people are
poorer than I ever knew, how you
are to continue in this way, I can't
see. l tell them that the next two
years will be long, dry, hard pull.
Looks s~if the odds are against you,
yet / have seen you oft times when
l thought you were gone, but you
came out victorious until now, and
I feel quite sure that you will come
again, but I don't know how. Some
think you leaving Wilson and going
to Roosevelt the worst break that
you ever made. | told them the
mistake you made was to espouse
Underwood. When there was the
time that you should have gone for
Roosevelt. One year ago Roosevelt
was the popular man in the whole
lay out of candidates in the South,
but for the old story the solid South
and the negro, the South would have
gone largely for Roosevelt. I be-
lieve that to be true, you started the
racket for a Southern man, and the
whole outlay deserted you, and 1
fear that the next two years will be
the hardest fight of your life, and
how I don't know. Do you take the
Pentecostal Herald, Turnersville,
Ky? See Morris takes up the Catho-
lie fight. If l were able would help
you with many others like myself,
see little mite sorry that it isn't
thousands more.
Your true friend,
P. M. HILL.

THE DESTRUCTIVE RAT.
William #. Purdue in Farm and
Ranch.

William Il. Purdue in Farm and
Ranch.
Every farmer should consider the
rat as one of his worst enemies. The
rat is purveyer of filth and disease
and it destroys millions Of dollars
worth Of property in the United
States every year, good share of
which loss falls upon the farmer.
Wage a constant warfare against
this rodent. This is the only way to
ever rid a place of these pests. They
cannot be exterminatad or even
materially reduced in number by
fighting them only occasionally.
AS first step in the fight against
rats, Danish all their harbors that
can possibly be gotten at. Rats will
not long remain around a farm
where there are few harhors for
them in which they can safely rear
their young and to which they can
escape, at least temporarily, from
their enemies. All piles of boards,
trash, ETC., around the buildings
form harbors for rats and mise
Burn the worthless trash and pile
the boards upon supports a foot or
two above the ground.
Corn cribs and pens, often set but
a few inches above the ground, offer
rats the very best kind Of harbors.
These ought always to be set off the
ground high enough so that the rats
cannot work under them
When destroying rat harbors have
some help on hand, if possible, with
a good rat dog or two, and make a
killing instead of permitting the ro-
dents to escape to other harbors.
Two men armed with clubs and a
good dog can get most of them on
such occasions.
The construction of concrere floors
to replace board floors in barns,
sheds and granaries means less har-
bors for rats. Where all the farm
buildings are thus finished there is
not likely to be many rats on that
place unless there are>numerous out
side harbOrs for the rodents.
Cats, traps and poison can render
valuable service in the warfare
against rats as we'll as against mice,
that are in harbors where you can
not reach them with dog or club. A

EVERY LOVER OF LIBERTY
SHOULD HELP SUPPORT
THE JEFFS.

My Dear Mr.. Watson: I deeply
sympathiZe with you and believe
now as firmly as ever that you are
pure patriot although you did not
vote for Woodrow Wilson. I know
that you have reasons that are salts
factory to yourself for not voting for
Mr.. Wilson and l do not impugn
them in the least. I voted for Mr..
Wilson as he was the nominee, but
doubted at the same time if he was
as patriotic, intelligent and efficient
as Mr.. Roosevelt. l believe that if
Mr.. Roosevelt had been elected
again that he would have stood for
a government of, for and by the peo-
pie, that his ambition was satisfied
and his chief concern would be to do
good-but enough of this.
1t seems to me that every lover of
liberty and those who believe in
complete separation Of Church and
State ought to take stock in the JEFF
fersonian Publishing Co. l am not
member of any church, hence no
one can say that l am prejudiced.
If the Roman Catholic church ESQ.,
called) is not menace to the rights
and liberties of any people, then l
have read history in vain.
You speak Of the short crops and
straitened circumstances in conse-
quence thereof. We are in the same
condition in Hancock, and so many
of our people have been gulled by
sharks into taking stocks of various
kind in the last few years and have
received nothing but lawsuits and
trouble for their money, that they
will almost laugh one to scorn who
says stock to them, but will do the
best that I can for the Jeffs. Some
think that you have decisions of per-
secution but I do not think so, but

New York, Nov. 26.-Trading began
today with new and indecfSive move
ments. The volume of business was
light. Among the leaders the Harri-
mans and ATllalganated were heavy.
while Reading and Steel made small
gains. Virginia-Carolina Chemical lost

A better feeling prevailed for a time
after the opening. Efforts TO get prices
up were frustrated however by the en-

ment to nearly $10.0O0,o0o.
Price movements today suggested
that the position Of the market had
been weakened by driving in Of the
shorts on yesterdays rise. RecessioEs
were limited to moderate fractions in
most cases and speculation was life
less. Bulls were not inclined to take
on stocks in view of the approaching
holiday and the rising tendency OF the
money market.
The monetary position was infiU-
enced by further heavy shipments of
gold to Canada and call money mount

ment of working forces, price reduc-
