No Open House for Rats.

Do not keep "oPen house" for rats
by leaving basement doors aJar for
ventilation without proper safeguards.
The management Of large depart
ment store In an eastern city recently
had very expensive lesson In this
regard. Rats had been doing damage
to the extent of nearly $1,000 a month.
but by persistent trapping were finally
exterminated. The building was then
made "rat-proof." But after a time
rats were again at their work Of de-
struction.
Puzzled to know how the pests had
gained entrance, the management
learned that in summer the night
Waterman was accustomed to leave a
basement door open for ventilation.
Naturally the rats entered and an
other campaign Of determination had
to be waged. This expense could cas-
fly have been prevented. says the bu-
reau Of biological survey Of the depart
ment of agriculture, If piece Of sheet
iron three feet high had been placed
across the doorway and the sides OF
the doorway sheeted with metal
or otherwise made smooth so that rats
could not gain foothold. Rats can
not climb over such barriers, as they
do over mesh or crossed wires.

COAL VS.. BEER.

eft takes almost pound Of coal to
produce a pint of beer" asserts E. ID.
Leach, assistant state fuel admins
traitor of Ohio.
eff the Lusitania were now floating
the seas, the coal used annually In the
manufacture of beer in tits country
would furnish fuel for 728 round trips
for the giant ship and transport 2S.-
sos, 600 tons of supplies to the allies.
"Coal used for the manufacture Of
beer In Ohio alone would furnish more
than 60 round trips and carry nearly
1000, 600 tons Of supplies year to the
allies.
'Tt requires 10000 cars. or 5000
trains day to move the raw mate
RAILS to the breweries.
1--WE have heard a great deal about
the grain In the beer and about the
sugar In the beer, but we have heard
little about the coal In beer. Goal Is
one Of the principal ingredients"

PACKING FRUIT FOR MARKET


The commercial grower knows that
good clean packages and honest attrae-
tive packs count a great deal-more
than the inexperienced man realizes.
Fruit coming from the Pacific coast,
where good packages and professional
packers are appreciated, finds ready
sale and good prices. Eastern growers
have learned many lesson In fruit
packing from their Western brothers.
The Western product outsells that pro-
duced In the Central and Eastern
states because Of the very attractive
pack Of the former. While the quail.
ity of certain classes Of the Pacific
grown fruit Is no better than Eastern
grown stock, yet 1t is SO carefully sort
ed and packed that 1t at once catches
the eye of the fruit purchasers and
adds at least % per cent to the selling
value Of Western grown fruit.

TWO CARDINALS.

Cardinal Gibbons, America:
Il am opposed to any statewide or
nationwide prohibition measure. A
law of this kind interferes with the
personal liberty and rights of the peo-
pie and creates hypocrisy on the part
Of the public. The history of the
world down to the present time DEM
onstrates the fact that the people
have and always will indulge In in
toxicants, irrespective of any re-
straining power that 1t is attempted
to saddle upon them"
Cardinal Mercier, Belgium:
"You who hold the Christian faith
look around you at those who suffer
from the effect Of alcoholism. Can
we be insensible to the spectacle Of
this misery and pass by on the other
side? No, indeed! I am only dis
charging my duty as Catholic, as a
priest, as bishop. in coming to coop
crate with you in the struggle against
alcoholism. While waiting for or
government to take action, we have
a right to take action, we have no
right to be inactive. Private initia-
tive should act without delay. And
first of all be educating public opinion,
preparing the way for Intervention by
law"
Which is the more civilized-the
more Christian-view7

BUILDING THE CACTUS HEDGE.

While In Arizona saw the peculiar
bird caller . road runner: and learn
ed that when he meets a rattiesnake,
instead ofshaving a bloody encounter
with him. he begins to pick on the
cactus and surrounds the snake with
q circle Of cactus pieces; then he picks
them up piece by piece and puts them
closer to the snake until the poison
Gus reptile Is shut In close place and.
unable to cross the cactus hedge. be
stings himself to death. That Is what
we are doing with the traffic that biteth
like a serpent and stingeth like an
adder. We are shutting him up In
close quarters In few wet cities and
few backward states: and In this
close confinement we are going to lei
him sting himself to death.-William
Jennings Bryan
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1918-07-12

The odor from the dug-up. decom-
posed human body has an effect which
is hard to describe. 1t first produces
nauseatlng feeling, which, especially
after eating, causes vomiting. This re-
lieves you temporarily, but soon a
weakening sensation follows. which
leaves you limp as a dishrag. Your
spirits are at their lowest ebb and you
feel sort Of hopelessness and a mad
desire to escape 1t all, to get to the
open fields and the perfume Of the flow
ers in Blighty. There is sharp,
prickling sensation In the nostrils,
which reminds one Of breathing coal
gas through radiator In the floor, and
you want to sneeze, but cannot. This
was the effect on me, surmounted by q
vague horror of the awfulness Of the
thing and an ever-recurring reflection
that, perhaps /, sooner or later, would
be In such a state and be brought to
light by the blow of pick in the hands
Of some Tommy on digging party.
Several times have experienced this
odor, but never could get used to 1t
the enervating sensation was always
present. II made me hate war and
wonder why such things were counte-
nanced by civilization, and all the spice
and glory of the conflict would disap.
pear, leaving the grim reality. But
after leaving the spot and filling your
lungs with deep breaths Of pure, fresh
air, you forget and once again want to
be "up and at them"

ACCURACY OF CROP RE.
PORTS.

Wherever 1t has been possible
to secure an absolute check the
crop reports of the department
of agriculture have usually been
found to be surprisingly accu-
rate.
Wheat will be added to the
few crops for which an addi-
tional check will be made avail
able through the new require
ments by which all threshermen
must report to the bureau Of
markets Of the department the
quantity of wheat thrashed and
the acreage from which 1t was
produced.
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1918-07-12

are turned over to the crop reporting
board and the entire board is inn
mediately locked in until the minute
that the report Is issued, guards being
stationed at the doors and all tele-
phones disconnected.
Each member of the crop reporting
board prepares his own individual and
Independent estimate for each crop
and state. These are compared, dis
crepancies are discussed and ex-
planned and a final figure is adopted
by the board.
Data Complete.
The crop reporting board has be-
fore 1t more complete, detailed and
accurate data than any other crop
estimating agency In the world. Men,
bers of the board and all other depart
ment employees concerned with crop
estimates are prohibited by law under
severe penalties from specializing In
any product "of the SOIL" from giving
out advance information and from
knowingly compiling or issuing false
statistics.

= Notes 8
GET OUT OF THE LIQUOR 5Usi.
NESS, UNCLE SAM.

In every honest business transaction
there are three parties concerned. the
seller. the buyer, and the community
generally. The business which gives
profit or gain to one party and fieeces
either of the other two parties is q
swindle. Test the liquor traffic by this
standard and mark the result. Two
men, Brown and Green, each have one
thousand dollars. Brown spends his
money in whisky. Result: The whisky
seller gets the thousand dollars and
makes profit. Brown has parted with
his thousand dollars and got--nothing,
plus impaired health. ruined character,
degraded life, and perhaps criminal
record. The community is improver-
ished by the amount of waste of wealth
Of one of its members, plus the poverty.
disorder, accident. crime, ETC.. which
attends his drinking, and the conse-
quent taxation involved. Green spends
his money in building house with
the following results: The builder gets
the money and makes a profit on the
transaction; Green has parted with
his money. but now has house equal
In value to the money, plus the COM
fort, increased advantages, social
standing and credit which attends
property owner. The community Is
benefited by the wise expenditure Of
one Of its members, together with the
proportion Of taxes which the property
will pay. Every citizen is Interested
In every new building, no matter who
is the owner. The legislation which
gives license to waste, and takes a
revenue from 1t, is doing the worst
that can possibly be done for the re-
sources Of my country.-Prof. John A.
Nichols.
