Your Life Is Not Safe If There Are Rofs On Your Premises

The rat is the worst animal pest in the world.
 From its home among filth it visits dwellings and storerooms to polluts and destroy human food.
 It carries bubonic plague and many other diseases fatal to man, and has been responsible for more untimely deaths among human beings than all the wars of history.
 In the United States, rats and mice each year destroy crops and other property valued at over s200, 900, ,000- a destruction equivalent to the gross earnings of over 100000 men.
 On many farm, if the grain eaten and wasted by rats and mice could be sold, the proceeds would more than nay all the farmers taxes. - The Department of Agriculture has &ssued a comprehensive free bulletin which shows how to fight rats and mice.

Burton, former senator from Kan sas, and the tarring of J. o. Stevic and A. A. Parsons, revealed today that Ste vic and Parsons were compelled to apply a coating of tar to themselves while undressed. After they had been forced by several hundred men to roll on the ground their clothing was re- turned and they were told to leave
 The whereabouts of Stevic and Par sons, who are state organizer and state secretary, respectively, of the league were not known tonight. Neither had word been received as to the where abouts of Burton or of a Professor Wilson, another organizer of the league.
 Burton and Wilson were on their way to Ellinwood to address meet ing yesterday. When they did not appear Stevic and Parsons came to learn their whereabouts. The latter two were then taken out of the city and told not to return. When they reappeared they were tarred.
 When it became known at Lyons. a small town near by that Stevic and Parsons had returned to Ellinwood.
 
 go there after them. The crowd de- parted at 6 o'clock They interrupted a Non Partisan league. meeting and brought Stevic and Parsons to, Great Bend. The party then numbered about 200 men.
 They took Stevic and Parsons al few miles north of town, where the two were commanded to take off your clothes"
 The men. protesting. obeyed, and tar was brought forth. Smear that on' was the next command and the two, trembling from the chilly air, began covering their bodies with the tar. When they had finished they were ordered to roll in the grass. A lack of feathers made this method imperative. the crowd said.
 Then their clothes were returned and the mob turned back to town warning the two never to return.
 Following the meeting of the league here and at Ellinwood last summer feeling has been rather strong against it. The meeting here was marked by the egging of Mir. Mills. a national organizer. At Ellinwood a meeting was broken up and Stevic went to Governor Allen with a protest demand ing that Sheriff Yancy be removed . Yancy is now deputy sheriff.
 Stevic's home is in Topeka. He has been active in Non Partisan league circles more than a. year.
 Former Senator Burton announced at Hutchinson just after the Ellinwood disturbance that he would make Tor mai statement relative to what he termed this outrage" when he re- turned to Salina.
 Sheriff Sam Hill said tonight he had been unable to secure evidence that there had been tarring party.

 Strike Attitude
Republican A. p. Leased WIreI

MEXICO CITY. March 13-President Obregon today made public letters and other documents which have passed between his office and leaders in the railway strike Those from the execu- tive offics reiterate the governments determin ation not to recede from its policy to combat the strike. They ex- press the hope, however, that an ami cable settlement will soon be reached
 Admission is made that the situation has been aggravated by politics, the outgrowth of the dispute over the ad- ministration of the roads following the presidents order removing numerous responsibilities from the department of communications. This action prompted the resignation of P. O. Rubio as sec retary of communication.
 Reports which tend to indicate an immediate settlement of the strike is not at hand are arriving from outlying cities where minor depredations are continuing.
 All trains from the border and the west coast are in operation, but long delays in their schedules are common. In many instances the delays are due to lack of fuel or mechanical difficult ties.

 'T must say" he declared, that when one comes face to face with our opponents in London: when one hears what the situation is in their countries, and under what distress and cares they are laboring 1t becomes clear that their demands are the result of exuaordi- narily heavy troubles and distress"
 While maintaining the alleged ille- gality of the penalties. he declared he was opposed to rupturing relations with the allies because "our position in the world is not such that it could be improved by a breach" He admitted that it was possible to get a better world perspective from London than from Berlin and there realize how gem eral the opinion is that Germany is in the wrong and has not done enough to reouite that wrong.
 If we now resorted to severe mea- sures.'' he said. this would only be re- garded as confirmation of that opinion, and we should lose all that good will we so sorely need.
