The recognized labor leaders do not
agree. Some OF them are asserting
that the ones who took over the new

men, that they are too radical even
for the socialists, and that what they
are doing is all contrary to the orders
of Samuel Gompers. who as lifelong

leaders here have surveyed the still

is to lose the patronage of that group

The company also broke their rec

year and harvested $500 tons for
which they, received SIS per ton. The

The only improvements made were
twelve new cutting machines in

IN lumber this fall for building inn
proVements. according TO Mr.. T. =.
Storrs of Sidney, Fremont county,
who tells of plan that has been
worked out. Mr.. Storrs passed thru
here en- route. to the timber regions
OF Montana, where he is to purchase
l50 carloads of lumber TO be dis
tributed among the farmers along
the Missouri river.
Concerning the plan Mr. Storrs,
who is an experienced farmer and
stock raiser, said:
We are trying the direct from
producer to consumer plan. The
idea originated with a few Of us and
we entered into negotiations. We
met with such success in our work
with n man in Montana who owns
both the timber and the mills that
we immediately began canvass of
the farmers with unusually salts
factory results. We have contracted
FOR 80 ear loads of lumber at 49,
thousand delivered. Our shingles
will cost us 81 thousand.
While possibly a few more far
mers will make improvements than
had intended TO. 1t fitted in admira bly,
with the plans of many and the high
price of material at local yards made
it doubly inviting. cutting cost about
half.
1T is a unique and enormous
undertaking. The lumber is first to
be towed down the Yellowstone river,
then down the Missouri river. We
have leased FIVE acres of land not
far from the Douglas street bridge
on the Iowa side of the river and
expect to have our entire supply
there before Christmas"

ANTl-RAT CAMPAIGN oN.N
State Board of Health Plans to Rid
=. State Of Menace.

BY ASSOCIATED PfeSS.
Des Moines, Sept. 29.-The Pied
Piper will soon be in Iowa He will
abe disguised this time as the State
Board Of Health; but his mission
here will be the same as it was In
the town of Hamlin: the eXtermina-
ton of rats.
Plans TO rid Iowa OF rats are now
being made by the State Board of
Health, and an extensive campaign
is soon to be inaugurated. it is an
nounced. DR.. Guilford H. Sumner,
secretary and executive officer of the
board has coined new word for
use in this drive to make the state
rat proof. The word is deratization.
and it means the driving away of
rats.
DE-. Sumner claims that there are
as many rats in this state as there
are people. On that basis there were
2,224,771 of these rodents in Iowa in
1910 and no doubt many more by
now. Besides the tremendous cost OF
keeping these rats, the economic
waste involved. DIR. Sumner points
out their danger as disease carriers.
Shortly after one bubonic rat APP
pears in a community, the plague
spreads to all the rats in that locali-
ty 1t is then, according to the state
health officer. merely question of
time before some person is stricken
with the disease. If Iowa has between
two and three million rats, it is time,
DR.. Sumner declares, to do away
with the great risk they entail.
The boards plans to "deratize" the
state are not as yet very far under
way. The state board will of course
enlist all the county and city boards
of health in it's anti-rat crusade.
Meetings will be held before cham
bers of commerce, county boards and
farmers organizations. The chief
purpose Of the campaign will be the
education of the public. For the dull
Get music of the Pied Piper's reed
will be substituted moving pictures
showing the ravages of the rodents
on both economic wealth and human
! lives. DR.. Sumner is at present ne
gotiating to secure these pictures.
The board also hopes to be able to
install a system of rewards, such as
giving boys ten cents for every rat
killed. With such prizes offered, and
the moving pictures bringing the
dangers OF the situation graphically
before every community in Iowa, the
board hopes soon to have state free
from rats.
An important suggestion made by
the board is that every rat as soon
as it is killed be dipped in kerosene
and burned. This eXterminates not
only the rat itself but all the germs
It may have carried. Other instruc-
tons are to be distributed turnout
the state.
