EXPERTS AID IN
WAR ON RATS

The health authorities of the city
of Cincinnati have secured the aid of
the Biological Survey of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
planning the details of a city-wide
drive to exterminate rats. The meth
DDS of poisoning and trapping the ami
mails recommended by the depart
ment's men who have specialized in
work of this sort will be followed very
largely. The city has been divided in
to districts, in each of which door
to-door canvas will be made to bring
home to all occupants of houses, fac
tories, stores, ETC., the Importance of
cooperating in this important move
ment. A large amount of literature
prepared by the department, dealing
with rat determination, will be distri-
buted during the campaign. Special
emphasis will be laid on the fact that
rats are carriers of disease and are
particularly apt to contaminate human
food wherever it is accessible.

Sugar.

The price of sugars truly vicious
we're rationed at the place l board;
the little sacks the grocers dish as cost
more than toilers can afford. They
give us many a far-fetched reason
why sugar calls for so much kale; but
little does their logic season our cof-
fee, tea or home brewed ale. A lot of
reasons will not sweeten the pies on
which the workers feed, and so the
pastry must be beaten so sour it
makes mems bosoms bleed. And all
the reasons are but joshing, sent forth
to cheer US when we dine; they'd all
lose color in the washing, and shrink
if hung upon the line. Some fat old
skates are profiteering, So we lack
sugar at our meals, and from our an
guish they are clearing all kinds of
doubloons, bucks and wheels. Some
human hogs are busy raking unholy
profits to their trough, while we our
bitter drinks are taking, and asking
where Well all get off. My aunts
through all the days are weeping, my
nieces fill the house with walls; they
know the tea, which now is sleeping,
will taste like tar and rusty nails
When will this carnival of shearing
the helpless victims have an end?
When will the swine now profiteering'
to some stone tolbooth humbly wend :?

Short Story Rules.

In lengthy review of contempor-
airy American literature in the current
number of the Mercure de France the
writer singles out Sherwood Ander-
sons "Winesburg, Ohio" as perhaps
the best fiction published in any Ian
guage since the armistice" Contin-
uing with his discussion of American
methods in fiction he says in part: IF
a capable critic were to select the most
truly representative of the American
fiction for translation into French,
the European public would be struck
above all else by the technical prof.
cheney which these stories would dis
play-far more than by their display
of imagination. AS matter of fact,
the technique of the short story has
become far too rigid. It is taught in
the schools and fiction which departs
radically from the accepted form has

Working the City Editor

Undoubtedly the newspapers in
their handling of the news are sub
ject to all sorts of sinister influences
of which the reading public has no
knowledge. Take the Western Michi-
gan paper A man came rushing in to
the city editor one day asking that
the lines relating to his marriage in
the column of marriage announce
ments be omitted. Asked why, he
said he had bet 500 he wouldn't be
married before certain date; a date
which was yet to come. 'Corking story
thought the city editor, as the man,
under questioning, went on to tell all
about his bet and his marriage, and
his girl, and his plans and prospects,
ETC.; and when the man had gone, he
accommodatingly cut out the lines
from the announcements-an ran a
column story on the first page. The
truth was that the groom had bet 500
he could get the story of his marriage
printed on the first page. And then,
what do you think? When the man
who had lost the bet came in and told
the facts of the story this corrupt city
editor refused TO print them.-Detroit

ing are the five rules for writing sue
cessfully for American magazines, as
set down by the writer: First, bear in
mind that you are not writing for a
class that enjoys either at the expense

the American reading public-you are
writing for an entire people. Second,
Avoid questions of race or religion.

Third, Reveal the gayer, happier side

The following lines by Robert
Whitaker are worth remembering
and are entitled "My Enemy"
He hated me with all his heart,
And labOrcd to undo me;
But hating is a blind mans part,
Intact he never knew me.
He only thought me so and 50,
And therefore reckoncd me his
foe,
|If | should see myself to-day
All that he said too could say
My own heart would outlaw me,
Either the hateful thing I'd be
Or hate the self | seemed to see
Then wherefore should | count
it i'll
Though sometimes he abused me,
Since | am sure his deeper will
Could never 50 have used me,
He would have loved me had
he known
How much my heart was with his
own
And had he loved me, who shall say
What good | might have done
him,
Or what the price he had to pay
For gains might have won him
How poorer shall his own life be
Because he missed the best in
Ny Enemy? Say, but his own,
None but ourselves can harm us
And hate may give us truer tone
Than the soft words that charm
Or if it seems to cost us sore,
1t always costs the hater more
