Farmers interested
In Killing Rats,

Richmond, Va, Oct. 2O.-Rep-
resentatives of the State Board
of Health are being constantly
Intercepted these days about
the best methods of destroying
rats. Farmers are beginning to
understand that rat extermina-
ton can hardly be as costly as
letting them alone and permit
ting them to subsist on stored
crops.
The State Board has just is
sued bulletin which states.
among other facts, that rats con-
sumo about FIVE million dollars
worth of food each year in Vir-
ginia and this little pamphlet
gives directions for Graduating
the pests. 1t will be sent free to
any inquirer.
The City of Richmond is dis
tributing to its citizens packages
of barium carbonate, a very in
expensive and most efficient
poison which is not dangerous
for dogs and cats unless taken
in rather larger quantities than
ordinarily used for rat killing.
There are three ways of bait
ing with this substance, mixing
with chopped meats, fish or saus-
ages using fresh fruits or vege-
tables to hold the poison, or EN-.
ploying mixed foods such as milk
or cheese, peanut butter, bread,
cake and cereals, either raw or.
cooked. The State Board of
Health advocates the EMPLOY
ment of the three means. Whi3t
rats may not be as taStldlOus as
humans regarding their food,
still they show differing tastes
at different times !; and, while
they may refuse any Que of the
foods set for their undoiug, they
are not apt to decline a nibble at
one of the three varieties.
Of course, the health authori
ties are at present emphasizing
the rat campaigns because these
animals carry the feas which
spread the bubonic plague and,
although seaports are more liza
Die to plague, rats are great |
travellers and may carry it any-l
where.

The League to Prevent War,

Every member ST the LeagueI
of Nations solemnly agrees that
it will never 60 to war without
first having done one or another
Of two things, without either
submitting the matter in dis
pute to arbitration, in which
case it promises absolutely to|
abide by the verdict, or, if i'll
does not care to submit it to|
arbitration, without submitting
it to discussion by the council OF
the League of Nations, in which
case it promises to lay all the
documents and all the pertinent
facts before that council; it con-
sents that that council shall pub
lish all documents and all the
pertinent facts, so that all the
world shall know them; that it
shall be allowed six months if
the decision of the council is not
acceptable, it will still not 60 to
war for three months following
the rendering Of the decision.
1t is provided in the covenant
of the League of Nations that
any nation that disregards these
solemn promises with regard tC
arbitration and discussion shall
be thereby deemed ipso facto to
have committed an act of wa,
against the other members Of
the League and that there shall
thereupon follow an absolute ex.
clusion of that nation from com.
munication of any kind with the
members of the League. Nc
goods can be shipped in or out
no telegraphic messages can be
exchanged; there shall be nc
communicate of any kind be-
tween the people of the Other
nations and the people of thai
nation. There is not a natior
Europe that can stand that fol
six months. Germany coult
haye faced the armies of thu
world more readily than sh,
faced the boycott of the world.

League Defended
By Prof. W. B. Otis.

Prof. William B. Otis of the
College Of the City of New Y ork
appealed to about 500 men and
women last mig lit to consider the
League of Nations without re-
gard to partisan politics in an
address at Public School No. 1O1,
Lexington Avenue and filth St.
He ridiculed Senator Harding S
proposed association of nations
and urged that the League WAS
the only instrument obtainable
for enforcing peace.
we gave the nations of the
world who are now in the League
every assurance that we would
back them up" he said. 1--WE
will become a par1ah if we do
not accept it with reservations.
I am a Republican, and l
stand with the best leaders of
my party demanding the ratif-
cation of the Treaty OF Yer
sailles. Seven-eighths of the
population of the world is al
ready represented in the League,
and our material welfare, to put
it on the lowest possible basis, is
bound up with them. How much
more do we rely upon them and
they on us for the higher thugs !.
Personally l believe that
Woodrow Wilson is temperament
ally untitled to be President, but
L am convinced that in years to
come he will stand with Roose.
welt and Lincoln and Washing
ton as one of the four greatest
Americans
Prof. Otis quoted Republican
leaders to show that most men of
both parties desired the League.
He said that if Hoover was
wrong in saying Harding was
for the League, the Republican
candidate should not be voted
for, and if Hoover was right,
Harding should not receive the
peoples support because he was
liar. This statement was
cheered.
