The death toll as a result Of the
Gary may reach IS. The exact num-
Der may never be known. Several of
the nOmads vanished and whether or
not some of these burned to death or
ran away will never be known. Only
the mick names" of some of the men
can be learned, and for this reason the
relatives cannot be notified. The rail-
road officials blame the engineer,
who ran past block signals, red
lights and other signs which should
have told him there was danger ahead.
The fireman is being held. The cars
caught fire from the gas tanks and
burned for several hours.

Ocala Star If there are any
newspaper men in Congress, they
should get together and try and
start a move to put an end to the
gigantic waste of paper by the
government. A committee of ex-
perienced newspaper men could
go through the mass of statistical
information sent out every day
and reduce it from its unwieldy
proportions to a shape in which
most of it could be used. No
doubt the government sends out
much useful information. But it
is sent out in such a manner that
the waste basket is the only thing
that has space for nine-tenths of

Stetson s Fine Work

Elsewhere in this paper apearS
an advertisement of Stetson Uni
versity at DeLand, an institution
that upholdS the best traditions of
American education. For over
thirty-three years it has been a
blessing to the people Of the state,
and hundreds of our young people
have gone to it for an education.
In the fall it begins its thirty
fourth year of service to the peo-
pie of Florida, stronger than ever.
Its teachers have always been of
the very best, and it is never nee
eSSary for any young person in
Florida to leave the state for an
education.
We wish for this fine worthy
college at DeLand greater success
in the future and hope the young
people of the state will crowd It's
halls to the limit.
Stetson University is a guaran-
tee of honest work of the best
quality.

Cooperation Against Rats

1t frequently happens that loss
es of young chickens attributed to
the dcpredations of hawks and to
other causes are due to rats. There
is no more destructive pest about
the poultry yard than these. Com
ing like the thief in the night, and
usually leaving no visible marks
of their ravageS, they escape, in
large measure, the relentless hunt
irr down that the deserve. Not
onIv are they destructive to
young chickens, but they prev up
or the o"g supply throughout the
year.
The United States Department
of Agriculture points out that
anyone, by care and industry,
may free his own premises of
these rodents, but that he is help
less to prevent an early recur-
renee of the trouble unless he can
secure the active cooperation of
his neighbors. The Department
urges, therefore, that wherever
possible the destruction of these
pests be a community undertak-
ing.
The same effort, it is pointed
out, that is made by individuals
working Independently, if organ
lied on community basis. would
be many times more effective.
The Department has worked out
and tested definite plans for the
destruction of rats, in common
with other rodents, and informa-
ton concernir" the matter can be
had by writing to the Department.
