of communism. The Reds know that
in order to make the people lose faith
in the sanctity of law and of personal
obligations they must induce them
first to lose faith in religion. For the
church has always been the bulwark
of the home and of those cardinal
principles which go to build it up and
maintain it.
The Moscow Pravda, organ of the
ADVERTISEMENTS party, re-
Gently urged the communists in Rus
STA to renew their fight to wipe out
Christianity in the country as the en-
envy of the communistic form of gov
eminent. The Pravda played no fav-
orites. 1t said that special attention
in the way of destruction should be
paid to the Roman Catholic and the
leading Protestant denominations.
In view of the hostility which the
Reds have always displayed toward
the Christian churches and the efforts
they have made to wipe out Christi
anity in Russia, it is rather remarka-
BILE that we have in America some
ministers, supposedly of the Christian
faith, who are busy apologists for
bolshevism.
These ministers seem to be obsessed
with the idea that they are "liberals,"
and that in order to belong to this
cult and show their breadth of mind
they must at least apologize for, if
not support, some of the efforts of the
communists in America and other CIV
ilized countries.
Whether these ministers are liberal
or not is beside the question. Glib
eralism" is another word which can
be made to cover a multitude of sins.
1t can at least be said that these So
called Christian ministers are false
to the principles and ideals of the
faith which they claim to represent
and are playing with dynamite. For
tunately they are few in number even
if they are noisy.

Public Library Entertainment a
Financial Success.

The moving picture given for the
benefit of Garrett County Free Public
Library short time ago, was big
success and the Library Committee
wishes to thank the public for its gen.
erous patronage. Total receipts from
the two nights were S23S.01. $3.50
of this was from sales of candy and
flowers. Mr.. Gilbert and his orches-
ira and the Oakland Male Quartet,
with their clever rendering of musical
numbers, added much to the enjoy
ment of the two evenings. The Ii
brary is now out of debt and some
new books have been ordered.
The attention of the public is again
called to the location of the Library
in the Garrett National Bank build
ing (sse sign on street door,, and to
the time it is open-Wednesday and
Saturday afternoons and evenings.
The continued patronage and inter-
est of everyone is earnestly solicited.

National War on Rats Showing Re
suits

Rats are probably decreasing in the
United States, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, although
their decrease is only beginning to be
apparent. The chief factors response
BILE for any decrease are present-day
sanitary requirements and modern
building, which make it increasingly
difficult for rats to find food and shell
ter; national urge against all unnec-
essary waste, and a better under
standing generally of the relation of
rats to human economy.
Furthermore, as facts relating to
the spread of communicable diseases
have become better known, more gen.
eral interest in rat control has been
stimulated, more effective means of
destroying rats have been developed,
and information regarding these
methods have been widely distributed.
Farmers Bulletin 1887, "Rat Con-
troll" prepared by James Silvert of
the Biological Survey, and just issued
by the department, contains many
suggestions for the control of rats on
the farm and in the city.
Permanent exclusion of rats may be
brought about by rat-proofing build
ing and other structures commonly in
habited by rodents; by removing any
possible shelter; and by cutting off
their food supply. Details on methods
of accomplishing these detectives are
discussed in the bulletin, as we'll as
such control methods as poisoning,
fumigating, trapping and use of de-
torrents.
Although getting rid of rats is
largely an individual problem, rat in
festation has a serious effect on the
whole community, and organized con-
troll effort is highly desirable. A per-
son who allows rats to increase on his
property until they become a menace
to the entire neighborhood becomes an
object of public concern, and city
that permits its refuse dump to serve
as breeding place for hordes of these
pests is committing a grave injustice
to its population. Kidding whole
community of rats can best be ac-
complished by organized efforts of all
the citizens. The department will
gladly assist such organizations thru
the Biological Survey planning, or
ganizing and prosecuting antirat cam
paigns by furnishing preliminary
plans, general instructions, sample
copies of posters, and other publicity
material, and where possible, the per-
sonal service of a leader.
