Waoe War on Rats.

Rat clubs, the purpose of which Is to
trap, poison, shoot, build out" and
otherwise combat rats and mice, are
advocated by the United States depart
ment of agriculture as effective agen-
cies to help In getting rid Of these
pests. The rat is one of the worlds
worst animal pests. 1t lives in filth
and carries filth with it on It's visits
to dwellings and storerooms, to pollute
and destroy human food. 1t carries
bubonic plague and other diseases IA
tai to man and so brings about tho
death of great numbers Of persons
annually. 1t destroys crops, eggs and
young poultry, stored food and fabrics,
causes fires, ruins artificial ponds and
embankments by burrowing, and BY
gnawing damages foundations, floors,
doors, furniture and much other prop
erty. The mouse, though smaller, is
almost as destructive. The depart
ment advocates the waging of organ
lied warfare on rats and mice, includ.
ing the formation of rat clubs.

Jackson.-Gov. Bilbo recommends
in his message to the legislature the
purchase of $4,000 acres of delta
land, and the propositions meets with
favor on the part OF those to whom
the matter has been explained, 1t is
announced here. This land, which ad-
joints the new farm in Quitman coun-
ty, is offered the state at $25 per acre.
The idea is to clear the land with con-
yict labor and put 1t in cultivation at
once. 1t will then be worth 500 per
acre, or four times what the state will
have paid for it.
The governors plan Is to sell two
or three small farms the state now
owns-Rankin, Oakley and Belmont
and put all the convict forces, white
and black, on Parchman and the new
farm. One of these small farms, per-
haps Oakley, Kinds county, will be
retained as a stock farm, it is under
stood. Here the board of trustees
hopes to raise all the mules the other
farms may need, also the cattle and
as many hogs as the place will carry.

 Approves Big Boat

Danbury, June 12-The directors of the Mercantile bureau of the Chamber of Commerce of this city adopted by unanimous vote at q meeting today resolutions approv- ing the plan to hold the Fulton Dempsey boxing contest in this city on the Fourth of July.
 The resolution says, in part:
 "Be it resolved that we go on record as being enthusiastically in favor of the boxing exhibition and that this bureau shall do every thing in its power to further the staging of this exhibition in Dan bury, believing sincerely that the bout can hold nothing but benefit for Danbury in nearly every re- spect and that it can in no wise be of detriment to the city's best interests, owing to the fact that the United States government and many influential agencies recog- nize the value of such contests, and that the general opinion con- corning them has undergone a very radical change since the in auguration of the war"
 The Danbury Ministerial asso- citation went on record today S being opposed to the bout and took action to prevent it if it found to be in violation of the law.

Manager Krichell and his Ameri. cans, who are taking the Eastern league teams like Grant took Rich mond' will show in Danny Murphy's back yard over at Savin Rock to- morrow afternoon in a double header. The locals started their sensational run of consecutive victories against the Murlins on May 22 and Manager 'hrlcheu is out to repeat over the clan or Murphy. Just who will take the hill against the New Haveners was not announced this morning, but it is expected that Sal Sava or Eddie Len non will be sent on the mound in the first game.
 Friday afternoon Battling Jack Flynn and his hustling band of Planters will be with us at Newfeld park for the first and final game of the present week. The gang from the Eastern water front looks rather dangerous right now and Manager Krichell will have to use all the avail able material on hand to down the Plant men. Saturday, the locals will play in Worcester.
