BREED RODENTS AS HORSEFLESH
 BEGINS TO FAIL
Budapest Zoo Affected By War Seals, Foodless,
 Are Killed.

. Budapest, Hungary, Feb. 3. = Rats are being bred for the Budapest Zoo in order toI save the scant ration of lhorsefesh for the lions and tigers, whose constant roaring shows the ex- tent they suffer from the general. shortage of food. Eagles. vu1tures and the wild birds are fed exclusively on rats At times when horse meat has been unobtainab1e, goats and the less valuable animals have been sacrificed to save the lives of the beasts that once ruled the jungle.
 But the herbivorous animals have also gone through hard times, as wild chestnuts have been substituted for expensive hay. They have small liking for cf1estnuts. A herd of ten seals had to be killed, as no fish could be obtained for them. The seal meat went to feed the wild beasts. Two polar bears were shot-one because he refused to eat war food and the, oth- CT because he grew so on the new diet it was deemed a, mercy to finish him off. The bears added to the zoo's revenue in another way, as the priv ileget of shooting them was auctioned off to local sportsmen, one of whom paid $60 for the honor.

LYRIC

If you like realistic play of real, realistic, day by day life, just visit the Lyric theatre this week and wit ness Cecil Spooners splendid produc- ton and performance of Only a Shop Girl,'' which this clever little star and her company are presenting this week at the Lyric theatre. It is a four-act comedy drama of very strong impres- siveness, and will draw your imagina- ton up and down from. high and low degrees of human nature standpoints, actually beyond your own belief. Miss Spooner works strenuously in the four big acts of this extraordinarily big play, but is strongly assisted by her big company, all of whom work strongly throughout the play. Inci- dentally, Miss Spooner and Philip Lee introduce several very artistic singing and dancing numbers which are well worthy of headline space at our very best vaudeville theatres. Al together, "Only a. Shop GirI' is a four act play for the people, and delivers the strongest dramatic story ever giv- e1l in similar productions.

BY the wise acts of our President,
we have been kept out of complications
with foreign nations. We have avoided
the terrible ravages of war that have
been desolating the land of nearly every
civilized nation of the world.
Wilson has prevented an industrial
strike which would have demoralized
our country. Instead of our getting Is
cents pound for our cotton, we could
not have sold it at any price, had Wilson
not prevented the great strike
All this has been done with honor
to the Nation and with justice to all par
ties concerned. While there is no doubt
of the final result in the State, every vot-
er should feel proud of the fact that he
has the right and the privilege of casting
his vote in favor of this wise ruler who
has so successfully steered the Ship of
State over the many breakers encOunt-
cred during the past three years.
We have nominated a State ticket
that is pledged to carry out the princip-
les of Democracy as embodied in its
platform, which was prepared and
adopted with the view of the protection
of the rights of the people of the State.
Our county ticket was nominated at
a primary which was fair, and free from
any charge of any unfairness or sugges-
ton of fraud. The personel of this ticket
is composed of some of the best men in
independence county-men who will fill
the offices with honor to themselves and
fidelity to the public interests.
Opposing our ticket is ticket made
up of Republicans and Socialists. In a
spirit of fairness, we have no complaint
to make against any Republican who has
offered for a county office, but we
frankly believe that at least one of the
Socialists would do anything or say any
thing in his mad efforts to break into Of
flee. Believing that the people do not
want any of the bhghting effects of So
cialism in good old independence county,
we urge every man who is interested in
the welfare of his country, to go out to
the polls on the 7th of November and
help elect the Democratic ticket, from
President down to Constable.
