Trap Rats and Mice

Many pounds of good food are
wasted annually in Florida in the
households in which rats and mice
have too much their own way.
Their unhampered excursions III
to pantries are a menace to food
conservation. Get a number Of
traps and fight the pests, says the
University of Florida extension

guarded are effective but their
use in dwellings is usually unde-
sirable because none is known

Editor Over-taxed

Hon. Ed Scott, county chair
man of the War Savings Commit
Zee, as well as many other people,
evidently think that country ed
itor has plenty of leisure time.
Mr.. Scott asks The Herald editor
to get out and go around the town
and solicit advertising for the
War Savings Campaign. The i
dea is for each advertiser to do
nate his space in the paper and
pay for it for advertising War
Savings, and Mr.. Scott expects
the editor to present the sugges-
ton personally to each advertiser.
Well, the attention of each ad-
vertiser is hereby earnestly direct
ed to Mr.. SCOTS suggestion,
which is certainly a good one, but
the editor cannot possibly spare
the time for a personal interview
with every advertiser. He gets
to work before 7 o'clock in the
morning, takes As minutes for
dinner and then works on until
$50 u. m. And he never gets
through with his work. But he is
giving columns of space to all the
interests of the government, al
though said government has pass
ed laws that really threaten to
wreck his business, which is his
only means of support.

of hatred Of Fort Myers. Second,
did the News really think it was
the duty of the divisionists to vote
for one who is not their political
friend?' Third, the editor of The
Herald voted for Mr.. Rogers, not
because of hatred of Arcadia, for
he emphatically does not hate Ar
cadia-he likes Arcadia and is
warmly attached to many of her
citizens. But he voted as he did
because he believed Mr.. Rogers is
best suited for the attorneyship.
The fact that Editor Hetherington
of the Lakeland Telegram, and
other citizens of the highest in
tegrity in this county and Polk,
who were well acquainted with
Mr.. Rogers and were giving him
cordial support, had a lot more
influence than any imaginary To-
al prejudices in causing this edi-
tor to vote for Mr.. Rogers.
But it is all over now, and The
Herald "buried the Ratchet" as
soon as the returns were received
We have no quarrel with or for
any man about the way he voted.
The Punta Gorda herald. [volume] (Punta Gorda, Fla.) 1893-1958, 1918-06-13

We beg to assure the esteemed
Fort Myers Press that, when The
Herald stated that Punta Gorda
had for years been vilifed all a.
long the line from Jacksonville to
Fort Myers, it did not mean to
charge that this was done by the
newspapers in general, but by on
ly two or three of them. And the
Press was not one Of these few.
We have been reading the Press
for about sixteen years and we do
not remember having seen in it
any unkind expression about Pun
ia Gorda. The abuse complained
of emanated almost solely from
individuals. All the newspaper
editors are invclined to say good
things about all the towns of the
state, but occasionally one of them
makes a break. "

Congressional Cussedness

Why congress should have pen
allied the newspapers, imposing
on them a postage tax which will
put many of them out of business,
we cannot understand. We can
attribute it only to pure cussed-
ness.
Under the new postal law which
goes into effect July LIST, not only
are the postage rates more than
doubled, but the zone system will
impose upon the publishers a
world of trouble in mailing their
papers. 1t will more than double
the work Of mailing.
Then, too, an impossible and
foolish thing is the requirement
that the weight-physical weight
of the advertisements in the pa
pers be kept separate from the
weight of the reading matter, so
that different rate of postage
may be levied on each.
At the same time, the wholesale
dealers are notifying the publish
ers that the price of news print
paper has advanced over Is per
cent.
In view of these impositions, it
seems that the publishers will be
compelled to increase both their
subscription and their advertising
rates. This question Should, and
doubtless will be discussed by the
South Florida Press Association
which meets in Wauchula on the
18th of next month.

Because The Herald believes in
an absolute despotism as the best
form OF government, the Arcadia
Enterprise says that it is Bolshe-
WIKI sentiment that one would ex-
pect from Lenine or Trotsky.
How ridiculous! The Bolsheviki
government is anarchistic and
presents a splendid object lesson
IN favor of absolutism.

Some Interesting Election Results

In the GenSdcOld ulSIflcI, d. L.
Smithwick defeated Congress
man Walter Kehoe by 1000 ma
iority. First reports reaching
last week s Herald indicated that
Kehoe had won.
DR.. Lincoln HUXLEY, president OF
Stetson University, was nomi-
mated for state senator from Vol
usia county, a fact very crafty
ing to The Herald, for he is an a
BILE, broad minded man. County
division was defeated in Volusia
as well as in DeSoto.
Editor candidates had better
luck this time than in previous e.
lections. Editor Russell of the
Palatka News, won for state SEN
ator, and Editor Mckenzie of the
Times-Herald, won for repre-
sentative. Editor Sale of the
Bronson Times-Democrat, and E.
ditor Bloom of the Lakeland Star,
ran for representative and were
beaten.
Editor Triplett Of the st. Cloud
Herald, Osceola county, and Edi-
tor Codrington of the DeLand
News, Volusia county, each ran
for county commissioner. The
former lost, the latter won.
Prof. w. M. Holloway, former
state superintendent of public in
struction was nominated for state
tax commissioner.
Ion Farris of Jacksonville, who
ran against Joe Sears for con-
gress, was badly beaten in every
county Of the fourth district.
Even Duval, home county of Far
ris, gave 1000 majority against
him. In this instance, the news
papers won out, for Farris, when
a member of the legislature, OPP
posed the newspapers and nearly
all of them were against him.
The majority given Judge
Cochran, anti-division candidate
for representative from DeSoto
county, was only 81. A change.
therefore, of only Al votes, would
have beaten him.
One of the surprises in the con-
test in this county was the defeat
of Maj. w. G. Welles of Arcadia,
who ran for denomination for
county commissioner. He was de-
feated by McRae, the vote being
159 to 1888. S. P. Durrance of A
Won Park, was nominated commits
sioner for Dist. S. D. L. Skipper,
now representing that district, re-
fused to run again. Seth Cocker
was nominated for the Charlotte
Harbor district and wv. M. Whit
ten for the Punta Gorda district.
The Wauchula district appears to
have had no candidate in the field.
d. O. Rogers of Lakeland was
nominated for states attorney o.
yer Mr.. Timberlake of Arcadia,
and Mr.. Lawler of Fort Myers.
This caused the Arcadia News to
give the county divisionists "par-
ticular fits" basing its denun-
citation on the fact that they voted
for Rogers in preference to their
own county man. The News
charges that their conduct was in
spired by hatred of Arcadia.
Two or three things may be said |
about this; First, Mr.. Lawler of |
Fort Myers, got in this county the
least vote of the three candidates,
but the Fort Myers Press has not
charged that this was the result
