GET RID OF
THE RUBBISH

Did you ever notice a barnyard or
an orchard which seemed to be liter
ally covered with piles Of old boards.
stone and rubbish of all kind? Such
premises are pretty sure to be well
stocked with rats. and unless the
rubbish 10 removed It IL almost i'm
possible to clean the rats out.
A general cleaning up Of the
premises will also help In the fight
against insect enemies. Some Of the
worst insect pests spend the winter
under rubbish. around grass roots,
In fact shelter Of all kinds. Remove
as many Of these wintering places
as possible, and some Of the bugs
are sure to perish. All shelters, Of
course. can not be destroyed. but
much may be done. Clean up all
boards and rubbish heaps. clear out
the fence corners and destroy as
many Of the weed patches as pos
sible.
What to do with the old rubbish
Is sometimes perplexing problem.
Rubbish Of all sorts, such as worn
out machinery. old tin cans. broken
window panes and glassware Of va
rious sorts, broken crockery and
dishes, old shoes. etc.. will accumu-
late around all premises slowly but
surely. and in time will make . con.
siderable pile. As has been said. 1t
is advisable to keep all of this clear
ed away. yet often one does not know
how to dispose Of II.
Worn out machinery and tools can
be broken up and the pieces Of wood
converted into fuel and the metal
/ parts sold for junk II worthless. Old
shoes can be burned. As for the tin
cans and glassware. about the only
thing to do with this stuff Is to haul
IL to some unused corner OF the farm,
or else dig q deep hole and bury It.
The latter method Is probably the
better way Of solving the problem,
as the rubbish is then out Of the
way for all time. while II 1t Is piled
in some corner Of the farm 1t will
probably be in the way Of some one
at some time.-W. F. Purdue, In

now called for.
1t used to be thought unsound pol
icy for any community to go into
debt for roads. The older econom-
lists felt that municipal or county
government ought never to owe more
than two or three per cent Of its
valuation. But that is . condition
that does not exist in most forms Of
private business. Commercial enter
prises will take on obligations to .
much larger proportion Of their as
sets.
Hence. there has been within the
last few years q pronounced move
ment to do permanent road build
Ing on large scale. and borrow the
money to bring 1t about. It makes
all the difference In the world how
such an undertaking is handled.

GERNlANY'S SUBMARINE

The most recent returns Of sink

than was expected two months ago.
For quite q number Of weeks the
Germans have been sinking regular

nations being sunk the total is still
q yer yheavy loss. much exceeding
the total construction OF ships 80 far
secured by our allies and ourselves.
Also much has been said Of late
about new German submarines OF
exceptionally large size. There is no
doubt that Germany will attempt a
new drive with these big U-boats.
These craft could carry enough oil
to take them 5000 miles. They
will have room for an abundant sup

ed on our destroyers.
The Germans boast over the fact
that these boats will carry six inch
guns. II 10 claimed that this will
make them capable Of engaging ON
equal terms with any armed merch-
ant chip. In which the submarine
will have the advantage OF being
. able to drop out Of sight at any
moment. The reply Of our naval
men to this proposition is first. that

been built that would carry six

marines still constitute q terrible
menace that must not be underesti-
mated.
A practical safety can be assured
TO shipping across the Atlantic where
a group Of vessels Is conveyed by de-
stroyers. About 30 per cent OF the
vessels now going across the Allan
tic are thus protected. The proper
tion Of loss among conveyed ships Is
going this year to strain every
nerve to cut the life line Of supplies

Great Britain satisfied

London, Oct. l5.--President Wilson's
reply to Germany is kncwn to be cmi-
nently satisfactory to the British. The
conditions he outlined coincide not on
" with the views Of the British but
of the other allies as well Lord North
cliffes Evening News was the first
paper to appear with Wilson s answer
which it printed in splashes Of the
biggest type, covering half q page.
The Evening Standard regretted that
the Wilson note, otherwise strong and
timely, did not mention punishment for
German outrages.
The Globe said the note recognizes
that others besides the United States
are engaged in the war and loyalty de-
clines to tie their hands.
"It IS an immense gain TO the allies
that they have a spokesman who keeps
SO rcsolutely at the front the central
