well-defined projects. The first project
is the eradication Of tuberculosis from
individual herds Of pure-bred cattle
the second is the eradication Of cattle

the third is the eradication Of tubercu-

an item expected to be Of great i'm.

The department Of agriculture is to
pay one-third Of the difference between
the appraised value Of the cattle and

the tuberculosis work and pays at

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
In any rural community badly in
Tested with rats, it is a good plan for
farmers to form rat clubs and sffer
prizes for destroying the rodents. The
younger members of the community as
well as adults should be allowed to
compete and the prizes should bel
awarded periodically, as once a
month. A first, second, and third prize
are suggested for those who bring in
the greatest number Of rat tails. Spe-
cfdc rules governing the contests
should he made at the start, and in
struction as to the proper methods Of
trapping or otherwise killing rats
should be a part Of the program for
each meeting Of the club. Prizes may
be provided by private donation or
even by assessment Of members. The
plan gives better satisfaction than a
system Of straight rewards, because It
arouses more enthusiasm and costs
less. A rat and sparrow club in Eng
land in three seasons secured the de-
struction of 10000 rats and $4,000
sparrows by IN expenditure of less
than $50 in prize money. Had ordi-
nary bounties been paid, the same
work would have cost $1,000 or $1,000.
Cooperation Needed.
In the matter Of rat infestation,
small towns are intermediate between
farm and city. They show a marked
Increase Of rodents in winter and q
decrease when spring opens. Yet the
outlying parts of a village are peculiar
ly subject to losses Of poultry during
the summer. Pigeon lofts, also, in
small towns n subject to raids by
rats, and the toll Of eggs and young
sqsabs is often heavy. Rats can
climb ine-meshed netting and gain en-
trance to the pigeon yard at the top
where the birds themselves enter.
Repression IN Villages.
The measures recommended for re-
pressing rats on farms will apply to
villages, but cooperation Of citizens
to destroy the rodents will usually be
more readily obtained. Often the
small town has a civic club which
could take up rat work whenever its
Importance is presented. It requires
only an intelligent and persistent lead
er to set the machinery for rat repres-
sion Id motion. The leader should
provide for the instruction Of the COM
munity as to the best methods OF trap
ping, sanitation. r~at-proofing buildings,
and other measures needed to- discours
age the rodent. An appeal to civic
pride will often bring excellent re
suits IN cleaning up premises and Ii
replacing wooden walks Or porchea, a.
lapidated buildings, Or other harhors
Tor rats.

WHOSE FUNERALIST?
(From Stars and Stripes, Off,
cial Newspaper of A. +. F.)

There are a great many splen-
did things being said and done In
the States incident to the Ameri-
can soldiers return. And, as
might be expected, a great many
things equally as silly.
The American soldier believes
that this war has been fought for
something very spiritual and yet
very tangible, and that the peace
to follow is to be a worthy one. He
will return to face life with the
same high courage with which he
confronted death. He feels sure
Of the welcome he will find, and
he hopes to slide back quietly and
unostentatiously into harness and
help pull the load of a bigger, bet
ter world.
To programs OF land reclamation
and vocational training, insurance
protection, and help for the manned
and blind, the returning soldier
looks forward as a measure of Jus
tice which he hopes will be worked
out to a contamination in keeping
M'h the. new order of things.
There are, however,, unfor
tunately, a great many people
in the States with lots OF time
and nothing to do, to whom Il
ought to be suggested that he
does not appreciate the charity
campaign now in full swing.
He doesn't object to his old
uniform and some Of its acces-
sories,gnor to the extra months

OF course, some Of this has been short

was that earnings for the first six
months ran 100 per cent ahead of last
year. with the probability that net appli-
cable to the common stock for the full

Furry in Call Money.

A brief furry occurred in call money
rates yesterday afternoon, when a con-
siderable demand for three day money
to tide the market over until Monday
found the supply rather scant. From the
and "a per cent, at which the mar
ket had opened; and from the to 81
per cent. at which It ruled all day. the
call rate suddenly shot to 8 per cent. for
both classes of securities. One bank put
out $1,000. 900 and another lot of the
same size at per cent. although this
was loaned after the close and was not
officially quoted. Explanation OF the
furry is to be found In the fact that a
considerable amount OF interior funds.
which have been in the market at TO
~ per cent. have been called. There
has recently been a shift OF large
amounts of call money into time loans
because of the advantageous offers for
thirty. sixty and ninety day money
Then, too considerable money is said to
be going West for crop movement pur-
poses. All OF these factors have brought
about rather a thin call money market
and It is not surprising that its fiuctua
tions were erratic.

Another suggestion which has been
before the financial committee of the
Marine board Is said to be the proposal
OF is per cent. dividend. of which 10
per cent. would be in cash and 5 per
cent In securities. This plan is under
stood to be sort of a secondary one, and
Is not being taken seriously by the d.
rectors because OF the objections of
heavy holders TO a large cash payment
II is understood that the directors be-
lieve the stockholders are entitled to a
much larger dividend on the back pre-
ferred than Is per cent. in view of the
long drawn out negotiations for the sale
of the British ships of the corpor alton
and the present prosperous condition of
the Marine company. In connection with
the steady advance In both the common
and preferred issues in the last two days
