TO KILL ALL CATS.
They are drumming up a movement
to exterminate the cats, they're going
to fill our Tables full of rough on
rats" 1 heartily agree with those who
foster such a deal, a cat is Just as
worthless as q boarding house meal.
To me this sounds encouraging be-
cause 1 often wonder what good these
small pets do but howl all night and
plumber. There's nothing that cat
can do to help our daily grind, they
always put your grocery bill many
dollars behind. They don't kill rats
nor pay their way with any sort of
deed, they sleep all day and prowl all
night and eat up all your feed. They
kill off all our pretty birds, carry mi
crobes by the score; they bring in filth
,i<1rv i1y4 iy, a
apple core; they eat the heart right
out of things and are no good on
earth, but still they nave an honored
place on every family hearth. And
now the issue has come up to kill
these feline devils, the people are get
ting for it, each year that number
trebles. 1 guess old tabby's doomed
for death and it's a good thing too,
because the birds are better for US, in
everything they do. They help the
farmer with his crops they sing you
pretty songs They cheer you up and
make you glad all day long. We love
the birds and want them here, the
more of them the better. but some old
cat will do them up If you would let
her. So let's pull the rope to sound
the knell and hope that soon we'll
see the order go from coast to coast
to send cats to eternity.-N. S. A.
