RAISES RATS TO
 HELP WIN THE WAL.

The common gray rat-the self same rat in the face of which the most dignified woman makes a squir- rel look like cripple when it comes to climbing stunts--is helping to win the war.
 Probably few know that many an airplane soaring high in the sky car ries rat as part of the crew; that rats played and are now playing an important part in the evolution of the submarine, because rats are living ba- rometers.
 The United States government is using hundreds of rats in wartime ex- periments, and many of these are be- ing supplied by Miss Abbie Lathrop, who lives in a neat little cottage at Granby, Mass, and cares for fam fly of thousand rats and mice.
 Miss Lathrop, native of North Dakota, broke all feminine tradition seventeen years ago when she began raising rats and mice as a means of earning a living.
 The Rat Lady," as she is known there, keeps her pets in wire covered boxes in sheds near the cottage. Sht handles them without fear and many are so tame they are allowed to live in open boxes in the cottage, and make no attempt to get out.
 Miss Lathrop lives alone and it is understood her feminine friends do their visiting at shouting distance from the "house of a thousand ter rors."
 The government uses rats and mice chiefly in air pressure tests. The TO- dents are unusually sensitive to changes in atmospheric conditions, and at different attitudes exhibit un- failing symptoms which indicate cer- tain conditions of the air pressure.
 In submarine depth tests and in the experiments to learn the correct pres sure of the artificial air supply of submersibles rats play an important part in establishing facts in relation to human life and the efficiency of underwater craft.

MILK AND WATER CIRCULATION

The country has no prejudice against Mir. Baker. It is freely will ing to concede that the War Depart ment has done a good many creditable things under his management. But the fact remains that the Secretary of War was chosen in the first in stance to replace man who had to go because he was too insistent upon preparedness for an administration which was bound to keep us out of war; and he is, as he was when he took up the portfolio which Garrison laid down, a pacifist at heaft, an idealist, statesman, if you will, but not a practical administrator in whose veins flow the mixture of blood and iron which wartime demands. MT. Baker is an nachronism-that's all.

Atlanta, Ga, March 29.-The Third
Liberty Loan is to be proclaimed
from all the pulpits of the land dur
ing the next six weeks, and from
those of the Sixth Federal Reserve
District along with the rest, accord
ing to information given out today by
st. Elmo Massengale, Director OF
Publicity
The salvation of the country is a
sacredI duty, and ministers every
where are grasping this idea and are
getting behind the government with
both feet and with all the force of
their position.
The large part which the bonds
are taking in the prosecution of the
war, and the vital necessity for the
prompt subscription of each issue,
will be the theme of thousands OF
sermons in the next few week. One
thousand ministers are actively at
work in their communities in behalf
of the Third issue, and more are en-
tering the ranks every day.
The publicity department of the
Sixth District Loan committee is
sending out to all preachers in the
district specially prepared literature
and circulars giving full information
relative to the loan, and suggested
messages for the congregation of the
churches to be delivered through the
pulpits. Material for speeches is al
SO furnished by the same department
and any special information which
may be desired can be obtained from
the same source.
A number of churches and Sunday
schools are using Liberty Loan post
ers in their buildings Some of these
are of unusual beauty, and are not
out of place in such surroundings.
People in every walk of life are
contributing their efforts toward
arousing public sentiment in behalf
of the loan and of these, the work
of the ministers is considered of the
utmost Importance.

BAPTIST HENS
ARE PATRIOTIC
Two Hundred Thousand of Them In
Ohio Regularly Laying For
War Work and the Mission
Fund

What is an egg?
Well-an egg is very important
sinew of war according to the New
York Herald, which puts it very
cleverly this way
Just word about the Baptist hens
of Ohio.
There are about 100000 hens of
that faith in the Buckeye state.
Today marks the beginning of the
most momentous period in their
lives Even as you read this article
every one of those hens in straining
herself to hang up new record for
egg laying, concentrating with all
her might to the end that her allot-
ment is in the $1,O00,O0O drive which
Baptists are making may be oversub-
scribed.
Baptist laymen of that state have
promised that their hens will produce
at least $4,000, possibly $4,000,
worth of hen fruit during the coming
week, the money for the sale of the
eggs to be turned over to the gen
eral fund, If the hens produce less
than the minimum they will be re-
garded as slackers.
An idea of the strain the hens are
under will be realized when it is
learned that in order to save their
reputation they will be compelled to
release $4,000 dozen of eggs before
the long grind ends next Saturday
night
1t is to be known as Golden Egg
Week"
Reports from the laying line early
this morning stated that every hen
is expected to rise to the occasion
Maybe sit would be a better word.
Repeated cackling indicated that ev-
/ cry hen had got away to a flying
start. In some localities the cack-
ling sounded like the discharge of a
machine gun.
The fact that $4,000 of the big
fund is to go to war work is a pa
triotic incentive calculated to keep
the hens laying at top speed. They
will also be spurred on by the
knowledge that
One African missionary may be
supported for 5000, or the equivalent
of q, 272 of their eggs.
One home missionary can be main
tanned for a year on 10000 of their
eggs.
Baptist work in the National Army
camps can be maintained for year
by 100000 of their eggs.
