An official campaign against rats has
been inaugurated in the city of Corpus
Christi, Tex, aud up TO date no less
than five thousand of the rodents have
been slain by the boy scouts at cost
of five cents mead for the victims.
The campaign is being conducted in
Corpus Christi because of the fear that
the rats may spread the bubonic
plague. Rats are considered disease
carriers of fearful portent; but the de-
sire to be rid of them is not base on
that fact alone They are most unwel-

An Ss-year old resident of Morris

he is happy in the anticipation. The
desirability of having something to do,
and doing it, as a means to happiness
is recognized whether it applies to old
people or young people. Having some
thing to do drives a whole lot of dis
content out of living. A woodpile is
oftentimes a direct agency to happi-

That Vermont will have plenty of
coal during the coming winter is good
news to the people of the state, who
were becoming alarmed over the re-
ported shortage in other states of New
England. However, that plenitude of
coal will probably be dependent upon
good distribution, so the railroads have
their part to perform before the as
surance becomes reality. The roads
need to be moving the coal with all
dispatch during these days when rail
reading is not carried on with such
handicaps as it has during the winter
months. One of the first steps to pre-
vent a shortage of coal will be to
cause the railroads to accelerate the
movement of their cars eastward.

their model are frankly presented as
rivals of natures product. They are
