'HANSEL & GRETEL"
 PROVE DELIGHTFUL

The dress rehearsal last Sat urday proved that when the curtain rises for the Fairy Opera "Hansel & GreteI" at the Sultana Theatre Friday ev- ening, April 5th, the public will be treated to one of the most delightful amateur entertain ments witnessed here. It will prove delightful because of the excellent acting of the cast and most delightful in that the cast is composed entirely of ehil- dren.
 In the reading of fairy tales the sense of unreality is often uppermost in the minds of ad- ults, but in this fairy opera that feeling is forgotten, due to the natural talent of the juvenile actresses.
 The first scene starts with real action which promises lots of fun, and the promise is more than fulfilled in the succeeding acts.
 "Hans and Gretchen, as they are better known. to the American child, are played by Misses Ernestine Sullivant and Caroline Scott, with the opto- mistic responsibility of the average child we'll portrayed Mother, Miss Eloise Sulli- want, begins the excitement with her entry, and father impersonated by Miss Julia Scott, defies description and certainly will bring down the house with her cleverness. It will be we'll for anyone going to the show to leave their blues at home for this one actress alone will damage beyond re- pair anything like down-heart- edness.
 Every child in the theatre will want to eat the witch'S candy house, in the third scene, tho the witch is ferocious en- ough to prevent immediate destruction. Miss Anna DeVos is the witch, with convincing hocus pocus demonstrations
 The Sand Man, Miss Cora De Vos, and the Dew Fairy, Miss Eleanore Ferguson are artistic and most essential additions to the play.
 The singing of the Junior chorus is fitting finale for the operetta, and shows the care full training which has been giv- en by Mrs. R. M. Scott. Not a detail has been overlooked in the scenery and costumes
 An S.R.O. audience should be on hand. The entire amount of money from the sale of the tic kets is going to the Red Cross. every expense having been met by donations.

My dear sirs:- The fol- lowing statement, showing the standing of your county in re- gard to the sale of Thrift Stamps, according to the fig ures available is for publication in your newspaper.
 Yavapai county is the only county within the state which has approximately raised it's full allotment, all of which proves that it is necessary to take our coats off and get to work to bring the other coun- ties up to the very excellent showing made by Yavapai County.
 The Liberty Loan will be launched next month and it is likely that the War Savings Campaign will be somewhat retarded. However, we do not think that the Liberty Loan Campaign should very serious ly interfere with our work We think it should rather add stim- ulous to the War Savings.

WRAPPING ADDS TO THE GIFT
Home Art Specialist Suggests Use of
White Ribbon and Tissue Paper
With Bits of Foliage.

The wrapping of a Christmas gift is
al expression of the giver as much as
the gift itself, asserts Miss Araminta
Holman, instructor in home art in
the Kansas State Agricultural col.
lege.~ .~~
"A pretty gift will lose much Of it's
charm if 1T is wrapped carelessly,"
said Miss Holman. "As much care
should be taken in the wrapping as in
the selection Of the gift. l.
The wrappings should be dainty
and inc0nspicu0ls, and in harmony
with the gift and the sentiment that
the giver wishes to accompany the
gift. White tissue paper tied with
white ribbon with bit Of foliage for
color, makes a.. prettier and, neater
wrapping than colored paper ana col
ored ribbon. If the gift is to be
sent through. the mail the outside
wrappingss must necessarily be, Of
strong paper, but If tied neatly and
securely with tinsel Christmas cord,
the package will make an attractive
appearance, and at the same time will
protect the gift.''
Personal touches, such as original
sketches on the gift card or a spray of
foliage from the region of the giver's
home convey a deep sentiment and
thoughtfulness on the part Of the
giver, according to Miss Holman.
While holly and mistletoe are the en-
blematic Christmas foliage, spray Of
hemlock, bittersweet, pepper bough,
CT any pretty native foliage may be
used.

Traps and Poisons. *
Where rats are already well estab.

and rm-spreading, rats may be
trapped or poisoned.
What is known as the guillotine
trap, made entirely of metal, is re-
garded as the best. A large number
of traps should be used at once, not
just one or two as is commonly the
practice. BY using a considerable
number at the outset big catch is
more likely than after the rats learn
to be suspicious Of anything like q

Barium carbonate (barytes) is rec.

with their food leave buildings to go

Food Administration and College
Of Agriculture Urge Public
to Fight the Pests.
THEY COST STATE
100000 A YEAR.
Agricultural College Issues a Bulletin
as Guide for Local Rat
Campaigns.

A campaign to rid Minnesota of rata
has been begun by the federal food
administration for Minnesota and the
division of entomology and economic
zoology Of the Minnesota College Of
Agriculture.
Rats eat about 100000 worth of
Minnesota foodstuffs every year. This
means an annual tax on every resi-
dent of Minnesota of 81, for which
there is absolutely no return. Be-
sides, rats are carriers of disease and
there is no telling to what extent they
increase the burdens Of the people in
this respect.
What Rats Cost the y. 8.
The figures. for the, whole United
States are still more striking. Rats
cost the United States annually not
less than 100000, 900, to say nothing
OF disease spread by them.
Rats eat valuable foodstuffs; they
cause disastrous fires; they spread
bubonic plague, trichinosis, and other
maladies; they eat grain in the fields
and in warehouses;; they take unpro-
tected food from stock; they eat eggs
and young chickens; and the eggs of
many birds which are exterminators
Of insect pests; they destroy fruits
and vegetables, and they multiply with
tremendous rapidity, increasing the
annual toll of food and life.
These are the reasons behind the
action Of the food administration and
the Minnesota College of Agriculture
Campaigns Must Be Cooperative.
A campaign must be widespread to
be effective. One farmer or one mer-
chant cannot rid his premises of rats
II his neighbor harbors rats A war
against rats must be cooperative. For
this reason, local campaigns are to be
encouraged and it is suggested that
