FLY PAPER CATCHES RATS
A. S. Freeman Traps and Then AS.
saults Rodents.

Alvin S. Freeman, of the Bee Store
has recently devised and put into prac-
teal use a novel but unfailing method
for the successful eradication of rats
from infested precincts.
In studying out plan to accomplish
the capture of the troublesome
rodents, the thought occurred to him
to place fly paper at the mouths of
the dens. The plan was successful
from the beginning, as the first rat
that ventured from its hole and en-
countered the sticky paper that had
been placed around the opening, was
soon so completely enveloped that he
could do nothing but founder helpless
ly while Mr. Freeman welded a club
with deadly accuracy. He had hardly
finished the first execution when he
discovered another victim vainly
struggling to escape from the sticky
tangle.
After adopting the newly conceived
method for the elimination of the
pests, at the end of three days, Mr..
Freeman found his premises entirely
free of rats.

Robert McClanahan of SAP South

fenced to 80 days in the County Jail
and 81 fine and costs by Justice of

Element of the fine and costs till late
in the evening when arrangements
were made for the payment at the
City Jail and he was released.
His brother and sister-in-law as well
as two women who had been visiting

Clanahan had been keeping company.

of these dire filters will be busy. The
bitches are being dug about one mile
apart, and the work is being accom-
pliShed at a cost of about SO an acre
on the average. The maximum bene-
fits assessed Iun as high rs $40 and
the minimum as low as 81 an acre
Ten years ago some of this land was
selling as low as So an acre, but at the
present time land prices are ranging
around $50 ard 800, according to loca-
ton and improvements. 1t is certain
to sell anywhere from $75 to $3.50 an
acre after the work is completed.
If the work goes through as plan
ned it will be we'll nigh completed in
1917. Within three years the worst
swamp in the district ought to be
ready for tie "swamper" and his AK.
1t ought to be cleared and under cul-
tivat;on within the next 10 years.
within the next 20 years." said
Senator Oliver. in discussing the dis
trict'S future, "this Will be the great
est agricultural district in Missouri
and One of the greatest intensive farm
ing regions Of the world. We can grow
practically everything that is grown
anywhere else in the United States on
this soil. We have the best lands of
the Germ belt beaten; we can grow as
much and as good wheat per acre as
Kansas or the DakOtas, our alfalfa,
our oats and cur timothy are equal to
any and don't forget that we grow
better Gotten than is grown anywhere
else in the country. We have all the
crops of the North added to those of
the South and a rainfall that varies
between 43 and so inches annually"
The crops are there to see. There is
corn in the drainage district that was
higher than 4 horses back in early
June. Thousands of acres of sunflow-
ers are being grown, since the war
shu: off the Sunflower crop of South
Russia. The bikes of Holland, the fer
tiIity of old Egypt, the wheat fields of
the Northwest the cotton belt and the
corn belt dre all queorly cormingled
in what ueGd to be "Swampeast Mis-
souri,"
They told us, and were able to prove
it, that four crops of timothy have
been grown in two years down in
Pemiscot County. For the man who
barely manages 10 get one fair crop
in year this must seem like an agri-
cultural paradise. The first crop was
ready to cut June 20 and the second
was cut and cured in September.
Back in 1881, so say the records,
100000 acres Of this land were sold at
SIPS an acre. This land is row worth
something like 500 an acre.

Coats for either day or evening wear
must be carefully designed to fit into
the scheme of things. which varies
with the order of the day.
Two conservative models of coats
which are suited to any dress occa'
sion are pictured here. Taking them
as guide, the individual may supply
details which will emphasize the ex-
tremer modes in collars and sleeves
and trimmings. The designs as shown
are elegant and not too difficult for
the faithful copyist
The straight-hanging coat of ivory
white chiffon broadcloth has wide
boxplait across the back, which
makes a folded panel from neck to
hem. A narrower plait is laid at each
side of ii and is stitched down TO the
belt line. There is a wide collar OF
marten fur which may be turned high
up about the neck. and bands of the
same fur finish the cuffs. cleverly
designed belt effect is achieved by set.

In at the waist line, which is long and
defined by a piping of black satin.
This gives a flare to the skirt The
upper edge of the belt is pointed and
piped with satin, and the body is made
full at the front. fastening little to
one side.

The second collar is OF plain or

OF narrow black velvet ribbon is
crossed at the front and fastened with
a small gold pin.
This little touch OF black velvet is

OF many Of the new neckpieces. The
contrast OF black velvet with sheer
white materials is very elegant. The
velvet Is introduced in a way TO make

charms Of these neckpieces lies IN the
fact that they return from the wash

last a long time.

Two features of this model bespeak

the collar and the belt. both very nov

vertible, but when turned up does not
extend entirely across tho front or
the neck, an item that will be APP
pcvciated by the short-necked wearer.
The belt of the fabric does not extend
across the back. but overlaps a band

Plain pointed pieces are set on to
the belt at each side, and the belt
dips toward the front. The body is

material finish a design which por-
