LIFE HOLDS NOTHING BETTER
Man That Has Contentment in His Heart Need Seek No Further
 for Happiness.

Discomfort with his lot in life Is the great curse of the man of ordinary estate in this world. To have the things that are beyond his reach con- sumes him with ceaseless fire. Such men, as rule, have enough and to spare, but this does not seem to sat isfy them. If they would only deter mine to be content with what they have they would be happy.
 The consequence is that they make a dismal failure of a life that could easily have been a great success as far as their happiness is involved. And, without happiness it were better that a man had not lived at all.
 Then we have the man who has all the wealth and power and maybe all the glory that he craves, but who is in constant fear that 1t will be taken away from him; that he will lose his worldly possessions or that somebody will rob him of the limelight.
 COntentment never sleeps under the roof of such a man. Wherefore, of what good to him Is all that he has?
 Now, if the man who wants that which Is beyond his reach could school himself to be like Paul, "content in whatsoever state" he found himself he would get things out of life that he never dreamed of. He would sleep soundly and awake in gladness. And if the man who has all the wealth he had craved, could school himself to feel that 1t wouldn't matter if he were to lose 1t all, he would also sleep soundly and awake in gladness.
 Who among us that would wish to go through life and miss the biggest thing there is in life? We'll, the least man on earth can have that big thing for his very own simply by motion of the mind that God gave him when he was born.
 The big thing in life-itss name IS COntentment. It lies at your feet. Take 1t up and let it warm you.- Utica Globe.

VENICE HAD FIRST THEATER
Buildings Designed Solely for Perform ances Were Erected In the Italian
 City in the Year 1929.

The theater proper began in Venice in 1929, when comedy and melodrama, hitherto presented on temporary stages erected in the squares or in the halls of palaces, passed into buildings especially made for that purpose. Pom peO MOlmenti, the Italian historian, re- lates that the earliest genuine musical drama heard in Venice was the Pro- serpinaarapita of Giulio Strozzi, set to music by Caudio Montevarde. From 1637 onward theaters rose so rapidly that by the close of the Seicento they numbered IS in Venice; some were devoted to comedy, others to music, others again were used indifferently for comedy or melOdrama. Almost all the theaters belonged to noblemen who reserved boxes for themselves and took the rent for the buffet The Coun- cil of Ten settled the hour of the per- fOrmance and the length of time 1t might take. The advertisements were posted at the piazzetta and at Rialto, while criers went through the town to announce the play and the hour when the house would open.

RAT PROBLEM LOOMS LARGE
Writer Gives Reasons Why Humanity Must Take Steps to Exterminate
 the Parasite.

A strong, united effort should be made in America now to exterminate rats and mice.
 These pests not only mean loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars an- nually, but they carry disease germs, thus causing sickness and death.
 It has been proved that they are the chief means of perpetuating and trans mitting bubonic plague.
 It will require vigorous measures to rid the country of these lOathsome TO- dents. for their numbers are growing rapidly.
 One pair of common brown rats, breeding uninterruptedly and without deaths for three years, will be in creased to 359, ,7O9, ,492 rats. Inasmuch as one rat means loss of at least $2 a year in food alone, the serious pro- portions of this menace become appa- rent. One rat will consume from 40 to 50 pounds of food a year. In. many parts of rural America there are ten rats for every person and the rat popu- lation in our cities is quite equal to the number of humans.
 Sooner or later America will have to face a serious danger from rats and mice, as a result of their rapid propa- gation, our public indifference toward their growing numbers and the ever increasing depredations caused by them.
 They are parasites without one re- deeming characteristic and should be completely annihilated. In these re- construction days when thrift and ef- ficiency are so necessary to our na- tional welfare, let us take up the job of ridding this country of its rats and mice with characteristic American vigor and determination.-Thr Mag 8Zine

Hymn Strono Men Loved.

At a memorial service in honor of Roosevelt at St. Nicholas church, New York, which he attended as boy, the pastor remarked that the dead mans favorite hymn, from his childhood, was ..How Firm Foundation" That, also, was the favorite hymn of General Lee. Ii Is notable that the same words ap- healed to these two men, whose fateS were so strangely different-the one successful and triumphant practically all his life, the other a defeated soldier and victim of many sorrows.

WARE TACTICS LOSES VOTES
Thirty 48th Ward Men Turn tc
Moore-DispIay His Photo

Fifteen pictures of Congressman
Moore appeared in the windows of fif-
teen homes of former Ware men" in
the Forty eighth ward today.
This was due to the exposure of the
alleged trick of John Foy, Ware ward
leader, to have fifteen citizens arrested
so that he could put them under obi
CATION by getting them released. George
j. McElwee, Jr., leader of the indie
pendents in the ward, beat the Ware
leader to the police station and had
the fifteen men released without putting
them under obligation. But all fifteen
declared they would give their support
to Moore. They had been taken into
custody for standing on the corner of
Twenty first street and Snyder avenue.
At the meeting of the Forty eighth
Ward Independent Republican Club last
night, the fifteen voters appeared with
| fifteen other men who were once Ware
supporters. These fifteen also said they
would support Congressman Moore in
the race for Mayor and took home with
them the pictures of Mr.. Moore to hang
in their windows.
