A BAD YEAR FOR RATS

pletely and cleanly as the prairie dogs and ground squirrels were ex- terminated. but it would be possible to save the country millions of dollars and to reduce the danger from several fatal diseases.
 The first thing was to find a method of killing rats that was thoroughly practicable. The survey found such a method in systematic poisoning with barium carbonate. It wrote a bulletin about it, and instigated several cam- paigns, but because of lack of funds, the survey had not intended to launch it's main assault on the rats until next year.
 Meantime, various commercial con- cerns and city governments seem al most to have taken the rat-killing business out of the hands of the gov ernment- Not only have all the manu- facturers of rat poison and rat traps in the United States suddenly taken a new lease on life, and on advertising spaces, but in addition, several con- cerns have been organized for the sole purpose of exploiting the new rat poison which has been made popular by the government-barium carbon ate. The Biological Survey now ap- pears to be somewhat embarrassed, therefore, by the fact that whenever l it boosts barium carbonate, it is boost
 ing the business of sundry shrewd commercial operators. Nevertheless l the survey cannot very well desert its | pet poison, nor give up it's we'll laid plans for a grand rat-war next year Accordingly, it has adopted the seem ingly successful policy of working witt private operators, and exercising a

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing
The Country Club Plans
Phoenix. Arizona, Oct. 2s, 1919.

Phoenix, Arizona, Oct. ze, lsIs. Arizona Republican:
 Gentlemen: The Coutry club of Phoenix meets Wednesday evening to discuss and take definite action on placing our club on par with Phoenix the most progressive city of fifty thou 1 sand population or over in the United 1 States.
 1 There are two plans to discuss: First, i to enlarge our present club house and 1 to change the nine-hole dirt golf 1 course to an eighteen hole turf course, | to be watered by pumping from the Ari- zona canal. The other plan, which was recommended by the committee, was to move further in town in order to get 8 permanent water right, as they said the easement to pump out of the canal to water the present grounds might not be permanent There are two ways 1 the course can be vatered, one by pumping from the canal as mentioned, the other to sink wells on the highest point and pump irrigating water through pipes without a storage reser- Yoir. It has been said there is no water. or if found north of the Arizona canal it would be too deep for pump ing purposes.
 1 Last Monday morning. for my own satisfaction, I went out north of the canal and found the following: One well a quarter of a mile north from our club house, 60 feet to water; another well 8 half mile north and east from the club house, a hundred and fifty feet deep. At this well the water has; raised 40 feet. They are pumping wa
 ter from this well with a gas engine using a two-inch cylinder, and can pump steadily day and night without lowering the water in the we'll There
 is as pretty a home garden growing up now as can be seen anywhere in
 the valley, all watered from this well. l Going further east and north from
 this well, l find another well 70 feet lt to water, and last, directly north about
 one half mile from the east side of our
 golf course I find another we'll so feet | to water All the wells are in water
 bearing gravel and are pure soft water.
 One of the primary objects for nov
 ing was to get water fer turf course
 The wells now olca ed north of our
 property show an abundant supply Of
 water can be had if the easement to
 pump out of the canal is ever can
 celled.
 | Why should the club undertake to
 raise s123, 300 to move when the report : shows that for $40,00G the same results
 can be accomplished on the present
 site? The fact that there is under
 ground water can be established by , existing wells without expense. The other motive to move, namely, to be ' nearer town, has two sides to it for ' many persons the attractiveness of the 2 present location is the drawing card, , and it will always be a drawing card |, to visitors spending their winter in Phoenix.

Responsive Government

We have always had an idea that had pretty responsive government, touched at all times by the people and likely sway at the But our government is nearly responsive the British government may have observed last week. A week Lloyd George was threatened with overthrow on ac- count of trifng incident in which there seemed to be but little popular concern. The question was whether French pilots entering British ports should be granted certificates in return for similar privileges granted British pilots entering French ports.
 This unusual incident Crises have often been brought about in the British government by in cdents equally unimportant but in this it hap pened 10 be brought to notice For the last four five years have been observing British proce- dure closely than we formerly did
 If government sensitive as the Brit ish government is. would be at a crisis and the country would be getting ready to vote on the question whether the president congress should be sustained their widely varying attitude on war prohibition, for that far more vital and in terestng matter than the French pilot question
 Thus that government may be too sen- sitive. We settle these things better Our admins tation and congress elected for definite terms that defeat of the administration however crush ing does not stop the machinery of government Sometimes the administration is wrong and some times the congress is wrong and very often people would like to take an immediate hand in the dispute But people always right and the time that intervenes between the present dissatisfaction and the election gives opportunity think the thing over.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-During the past few months thousands of rats have died in a nationwide organized warfare against them, and thousands more of them are doomed to die, as the warfare spreads from city to city. IL is estimated that between thirty and forty American towns and cities have conducted campaigns against the rats, or are now conducting them At this time the Baltimore city government is slaughtering rats wholesale to the ac compartment of much popular ap- plause and newspaper publicity.
 The latest stunt in Baltimore has been the showing of moving picture film, first used in Richmond, Virginia, which is a sensational exposure of the private life of the rat-his outrageous fecundity, his disregard of sanitation his greed, his cost 10 man. Rats eat two hundred million dollars worth of food every year in the United States It takes the labor of two hundred thousand men to keep our rat popu- lation alive. And the rats repay our generosity by carrying bubonic plague and many other diseases about with them.
 The extermination of the rat is ona of the most important problems the country faces, and the rat is the hard est animal on earth to exterminate- He is hardy, shrewd, and above all, pro- life. Rats breed six or eight times g year, and begin their conjugal life al the age of about three months, EighI to ten young rats are born in each lit. ter. Some statistician at the Biologi cal Survey has figures out that at thi. rate one pair of rats in three year. would have established family con. taining 35s,709.4S2 individuals. If yot don't believe this, work out the arith. metic for your self.
 This rat campaign was started b, the Biological Survey and is under tn, special generalship of Doctor Bell ant Doctor Fisher of that bureau. Thes, are the men who cleaned all the prairi, dogs out of several western states, Of ten leaving whole counties literall, without a prairie dog. Dr. Bell say he went out and lived with tn, prairie dogs until he had evolved dead sure method of killing them, ant then he put that method into opera tion on a large scale and thorough, organized

killer was allowing himself reason able margin of profit.
 Having prepared his poison, he now went out and lived with the rats, as Dr. Bell had lived with the prairie dogs, until he knew all of their little dietetic preferences and other personal peculiarities, and had his poisoning method down fine. He then organized rat exterminating company, with 1 salesmen and assistants, and tackled a large and important southern city. He broadcasted this city with gov ernment literature about the frightful rayages of rats and about the barium | carbonate method of killing them. He 1 did not say that he represented the 1 government, and doubtless did not in- | tend to produce that impression, but none -the-less that is what many peo- pie believed, including some city off, l ficials. He got the newspapers on his side and the mayor and the city gov ernment. He is wonderful talker l He made these gentlemen see that their great duty to their city, their nation and their God was to extermin- ate rats. And he further made it clear that he was the boy who could kill rats. In order to demonstrate this latter fact, he offered to clean the rats out of the municipal wharves and markets at no expense to the city, fur nishing his own poison. No one could criticize a proposition like that. And
 he did the thing. He put out his poison in the way that he knew to be most
 effective one night, and the next
 morning he hired boys to gather UT dead rats, and rats were brought fortl l by the barrelful The city officials were impressed and grateful. And Il didn't cost them a cent. But all the time, salesmen were selling thai barium carbonate all over the city al
 twenty five cents a box, so that this
 modern pied piper did not go without
 his reward. He is said to have re.
 marked that he would like to take z
 job in the cabinet, but that ht
 couldn't afford to do so.
 This man is still operating, ana witt increasing success. The government
 officials view him with mingled
 alarm and delight. They dislike to SC,
 their methods thus capitalized and ex.
 plotted. But they have to concede on,
 thing in the rat kings favor-he surely
 does kill rats.
 Because he kills rats and becaus,
 he distributes this rat poison to man ; people who could not otherwise obtain it at any price, the government is no trying to interfere with his efforts, bu is offering him instead a certail amount of supervision and advice t which he seems amenable.
 This man has many imitators. Ever
 once in a while one of his salesmel sets up in the rat-killing business fo } himself. But it seems to take highl | specialized aptitudes to make a sue
 cess of the business. Rat-killing ma come to be an important profession.
