ANTI-RAT CAMPAIGNS
URGED IN MINNESOTA

The anti-rat campaign In Minneapolis.
has had excellent results, according to
n. =. Washburn Of the division Of en-
.tOmolOgy and economic zoology at Uni
.versity Farm. Many hundreds of these
pests have been killed by using barium
carbonate with the proper bats and, as
a consequence, much money has been
saved the city. It is hoped the good.
work will not be confined in Mime
apolis, but that other towns in the.
state will wage war against these ex-
.pensive pests. Recently issued cir
clllars on poisoning rats and mice will
be mailed. By the Division. Of .Publica-
lions, University Farm, to any citizeenn
requesting them, and the division Of
entomology and economic zoology will
be glad to cooperate with any eommun-
ity planning such a campaign

OFFICIALS ARRANGING FOR BIG
INAUGURATION REQUESTED
TO ABANDON PLANS.
STRIKES BLOW FOR THRIFT
Senator Asks That Inaugural Ball,
Special erandstands, Etc, Be
canceIied-sImpIielty to
Be the Keynote.

Marion, DIN the interest OF ma
tional thrift, President-elect Harding
has requested officials arranging for
his Inauguration to abandon all plans
for an Inaugural! ceremony.
In a telegram to e. B. Mclean.
chairman of the inaugural COMMITTEES
at Washington, Mr.. Harding declared
he preferred to simply take the oath
of office, deliver a brief address anc
then take up the duties at his office.
He said it would make his position
a very unhappy one If the outlay for
an elaborte inaugural created the Inn
preston of extravaganza.
At the same time the president
elect telegraphed Senator Knox Of
Pennsylvania, in charge Of the con-
gressional end OF the plans, suggest.
ing that the proposal to erect stands
on the capitol grounds for the event
be abandoned. This proposal has
been the subject of heated debate in
Congress, with some members severe
ly objecting to the use Of public
funds for such purpose.

CENSUS RECORDS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
PRICELESS DATA, DATING FROM
1890, CONSUMED BY FLAMES
IN WASHINGTON.
ORIGIN OF BLAZE NOT KNOWN
Records Could Not Be Replaced With
the Entire Wealth of Country,
Says Chief Clerk of the
Census Bureau.

Washington Valuable records dat.
ing back to 1890, when the first
enumeration of the United States
census was taken, were destroyed III
a fire of undetermined origin at the
Department of Commerce. The rec.
ords included figures from every cen
sus up to The present one, and Off
Gals said that it would be days be-
fore an estimate of the damage could
be given. The blaze originated in
the basement of the commerce build
ing and five alarms quickly brought
every piece of apparatus in down
town Washington to the scene and
more than 20 lines of hoses COM
pleted the damage done to the rec
ords by pouring tons OF water
through windows into vaults where
the records were kept
During the two and a half hours
which firemen fought the blaze, three
firemen were overcome by smoke and
taken to the hospital Among them
was Frank Newman, recipient of the
1920 bravery medal.
A Waterman, who discovered the
fire, said that he was making his
rounds in an apper part of the L.
story structure and went down to
the basement, tracing smell of
smoke he had noticed. He found the
carpenter shop and engine room full
of smoke.
With smoke pouring from the base
ment windows, firemen quickly broke
them and turned streams Of water
into the vaults where the census rec
ords were kept.
According to T. ]. Fitzgerald, chief
clerk Of the census bureau, records
Of the census of 1890 we're kept
stacked outside the vaults and these
were destroyed by both fire and
water. In the vaults were stacked
aisle after aisle of records dating
back to 1870 and arranged according
TO years up to 1910. The 1920 records
were kept on an upper floor and were
not damaged. Asked as to what dam.
age the fire had done, Mr.. Fitzgerald
said that the actual fire loss was very
slight, but the records destroyed
could not be replaced II we had the
entire wealth of the United States at
our disposal. There are no dupli.
Gates"
The records, Mr. Fitzgerald said.
were used by the War Department
for draft data, by the internal reve-
nue. bureau, by the Treasury Depart
ment and often were consulted when
citizenship rights were to be estab.
lishd.

Revival
BEGUN IN DETROIT.
LATEST INFORMATION IS THAT
AUTOMOBILE FACTORIES ARE
PUTTING MEN TO WORK.
GRADUAL RECOVERY NOTED
One Plant Plans Distribution Of 50,

Manufacturers Confident of
the Future.

Detroit, Mich.--A beginning of in.
dustrial revival in Detroit was noted.
during the past week in a survey OF.
conditions made by Geo. w. Grant
secretary of the Employers Associa
ton. Approximately 5000 men have
been put back to work and indica,
tions are that gradual, though prob
ably a slow improvement will con,
tinue until the automobile industry
has reached it's normal activity, Mr.
Grant said. He added that manufaC.
turers here gradually expect the end
of the slump in retail business to
follow the annual. automobile shows,
now about to open.
Although some Of the largest fac
tories in the city are completely
closed and no definite date has been
set for their reopening, there are in.
dications, Mr.. Grant said, that the
inactivity may not be extended.
At the Ford plant preparations are
being made for the payment of the
profit-sharing bonus, which amounts
to practically 100000. The volume
of work entailed. 1t is said, has de
layed payment, which was originally
set for Jan. /.

EestIvltles Are called on.

Washington.-Aban immedi-
ately Of all plans for celebration in
connection with the Inauguration of
President-Elect Harding was announc-
ed by E. NJ Mclean, chairman of the
Washington inaugural committee in ac-
cordance with the desire of Mr. Hard.
ing. He said the people of Washing
ton would be keenly disappointed.
Announcement of the president
elects decision came only few hours
after congress, through action OF the
house, completed enactment Of a bill
appropriating $4,000 for expenses In
cident to the Inauguration. AS the
measure has passed both houses Of
congress, in the usual course Of pro-
cedure, the bill would go to the White
House next day, but the suggestion
was made that Republican leaders in
either the senate or the house might
move to reconsider the vote Of their
body and thereby withdraw the bill.
Upwards OF 5000, 900 had been
pledged by Washington citizens and
business men toward the expenses of
the inaugural celebration.

BUSINESSCONDITIONSsOuND
Mississippi Valley Association Dc
duces 900 Question
nalres Sent Business Men.

St Louis-The condition of bust.
ness in the United States is basicaAy
sound and fear for the welfare Of
commercial America Is due principal
~ to state OF mind natural
consequence of the war.
That is the gist of the results o.
an economic survey conducted by tho
Mississippi Valley Association and an.
nounced at the headquarters Of the
organization here. Out Of 5000 Que5
itolnaires sent to business men,
bankers, agriculturists and economic
students in the q states in the wal.
ley" 5000 replies were received.
The underlying thought in the an
swers is that the present business de.
preston is caused by the consequent
and necessary deflation Of the infla-
ton" and the universal demand for
lower living costs. This condition
was augmented, numerous replies
stated, by an era of extravaganza In
buying, without consideration for the
future.
Many expressed the belief that war
time prices were too high, which,
when the natural reaction came,
brought about tendency to confine
purchases to actual necessities, and
thus created doubt in business Is
to the future, resulting in general
attitude on all sides of 'watchful
waiting" for price sterilization.
Many asserted no additional system
of credits is needed and but few laid
the blame of business conditions to
the present system of taxation.
