FARMERS UNITE TO FIGHT RATS

A fund of over $1,000 has been
raised to fight rats in Palm Beach
Count, Fla. The rodents in that re-
gion have multiplied with such rapid
ity that some farmers fear Is per
cent of their potatoes and peanuts
have been destroyed. Owing to the
extent of the territory over which
the pests have been roaming, nothing
short of a widespread cooperative
action could be effective; consequent
ly, the local county agent has taken
the matter in hand. After survey
of the territory he laid out syste-
matte offensive campaign. Under his
directions the farmers have under
taken to place poison with various
sorts of bait all along the lake front
on specified days.
Much of the region covered in this
fashion is grown up with weeds or is
still uncleared, and, therefore, the
task is of considerable magnitude.
However. it is anticipated that the
fall crops will benefit decidedly by
the campaign and that the expendi-
ture of the fund, which was contri-
buted by local business men, will
prove a profitable investment.
THE JOURNAL is $1.0O A YEAR.

MESSAGE OF CARTER
GLASS TO SCHOOLS

Two million school children in the
Southeast will receive a message d.
rect from Secretary of the Treasury
Glass on October Bird, National
Thrift Day"
The message will be an appeal
to the boys and girls to continue "to
practice and make permanent those
same habits of industry and economy,
that through your influence and ex-
ample America may soon become a
nation of savers and cease to be a
wasteful nation"
The same message will be read in
every school room in America. The
seventy thousand teachers who will
deliver the message to the children
in the Sixth Federal Reserve District,
will supplement the Secretary's letter
with request that children bring
their savings to school regularly once
week so that their pennies, nickles
and dimes may be put in Government
Thrift and Savings Stamps and re-
turned to them. A letter making this
request of the teachers has been sent
out by Silas w. Davis, Government
director of savings of this district.
The Secretary's letter follows:
"The the school boys and school
girls of America:
''In addressing the twenty million
or more school boys and girls of this
country, am addressing the citizen
ship, the business and professional
men and women, the producers and
consumers and the home makers of
only a few years hence. The respon-
sibility of all the problems of our
country will ultimately fall upon you.
The spirit of patriotism and helpful
ness which you displayed during the
world war has proved your fitness for
your future responsibility. Your rec
ord in production of needed mater
ials during the war, your saving of
food and money, and your investment
in government securities make
record of which every American citi-
zen is justly proud.
at is the earnest desire of your
Government that you should continue
to practice and make permanent those
same habits of industry and economy,
that through your influence and ex-
ample America may soon become a
nation of savers and cease to be
wasteful nation; that this may be a
nation of people who always save
some part of their earnings, who
spend money with greatest care, and
who invest what they save in some
safe place.
II am glad to see that our school
boys and girls have continued during
the vacation months to save their
money and are buying Thrift and War
