RATS AND MICE
 EXTERMIN ATED It Was Great Fun For The Orphans, Ard They Were Paid In The 2argain.

In The Bargain.
 Rats and mice, enemies of mankind everywhere, and one of the most potent agencies of de- struction anywhere, have been baEished from the orphanage at Oxford, N. C.
 This spring they appeared in vast numbers-little brown mice and big gray rats. They gnaw- ed their way into eupboards, and were playing havoc with the grain in the barn. Traps they avoided, and the usual poisons they Spurned.
 It was just about this time that a War Saving Society was organized in the orphanage, but not a vast number of Thrift Stamps were bought, because the inmates were not burdened with an overplus of money.
 But the superintendent had an idea. He had two ideas. He wanted to get rid of the pests and he wanted his charges to acquire habits on thrift. There fore he declared war on the vermin.
 For every casualty in ratdom or mousedom he offered a bounty of one cent per head. And the little boys got busy and the little girls overcame their aversion for the pestiferous rodents, and a war of extermination was de- clared.
 Now the orphanage at Oxford is freed of the pests, and the lit- tie boys and girls are all cred itors of Uncle Sam and are pill ing up saving account that will help to make them useful men and women when they depart from the orphanage to take their places in the work-a-day world.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN-
 TIGN ASSOCIATION

The north west district of the Drew County Sunday School As sociation met at Oak Lawn Church last Sunday. It was an all day meeting with dinner on the ground. There were over 500 people present.

Judge Bradley said in part that he was reared at Barkada and attended that same church 34 years ago. He made a touching talk at the close of which he presented the Sunday School with a check for S25.o0. Judge Bradley is now one of the formost lawyers of Fort Warth Texas.
 The following officers were elected for the ensuing year:
 Geo. F. Fowler, president: E. Il. Shipman, vice-president; Wal ter Carter, Sec-treas. Mrs. Wal ter Anderson, Superintendent of Young Peoples Department; W. C. Cruce, Superintendent of Adult Department; R. A. Wright Administration Superintendent; A. W. Judd, Educational Sup- erintendent.

THE PREVENTION
I tOIN
 OF MALARIA.

The second installment of the Review of the work of the Rocke. fellow Foundation for 1918 points out the possibility of prac- .tically eliminating malaria and yellowfeyer wherever people of any section of the county are willing to make reasonable eff forts to this end. Successful work in this direction has al- ready been conducted in various districts throughout the United States. In these districts by draining or filling pool, by ditch ing sluggish streams, and by oil- ing surface water which could not ke otherwise dealt with, the breeding of the anopheles (mala- ri&-earrying) mosquito was al- most wholly prevented, and thus the sole means by which malaria can be.transnitted was eliminat- ed. Tests have been made in four town in Arkansas and the results as shown by the reduced number Of calls by physicians or persons suffering from the dis ease was striking. In Hamburg the number of such calls fell from 23I2 in 1916 to 59 in 1918. and the work was done at an extremely low cost of 44c per capita.
 One could not ask for more convincing proofs," the Review states, that a community may rid itself of malaria on terms which cannot be wisely rejected. It is not surprising that towns :ndvillages are making apropria- tioGs faster than training sanitarians car be found to un- dertaNe the work of malaria con trol."

 &lkaaaas laGndrymen, n common with their neighbors in other cities throughout the {IHitsd S.ates, have launched a movement for the emancipation of housewives from the family w&ah-tab. The wash-tub has been branded by them as "rll.c Of the dark ages of house. keeping.
 A feature of the enterprise will be a campaign of education to wean Womenfolk away from old prejudices against the laun- dEy, and to acquaint them at the same time with the notable pro- gess that has been made by the indastsy within the last decade.
 "Fhe enterprise is not intend ed to be a revolutionary under taking, stated a nationally known laundry leader, "it is simply the coming to pass of something that has been long expected. It is a part, really, of what may be termed the 'feministic' advance of the age.
 We TO longer look upon women as mere menials. Our new conception of them is as helpmates and companions, with equal social and civic privileges. women are barred from realiza- tion of this finer future, however, by such unnecessary duties as the family wash, that alone take up from one and half to two days of the week.
 The laundry industry, from one lrd of America to the other, IS offering to take over this burden as the spinner and weaver long ago took over the business of making clothes; in fact as a hundred items of household drudgery have been taken over by industry.
 We propose to indicate to the women of America the pro- gross that has been made by the laundry industry; we will show them, for example, that while in it's fundamentals the hone-Washihg process has changed but little since the time of Noah, the laundry has im- proved until it has become not alone q cleanser of clothes, but a coEserEcr Of them also.
 Once the American house. wife discovers that 1t is safe and economical to send the fam fly wash to the laundry, the most burdensome of household tasks will be abolished from the home forever.
 "A freer womanhood "a cleaner America-these are the motives behind the movement fer educating women to use of the modern laundry for their family washing
