RATATEERS WIPED OUT
One Hundred and Five Perish In
One Night

Not a shot fired, but when the
powder was cleared away the result
was an holocaust. Here's the story:
''The rats were taking everything.
purchased a can of Cenol Squill
Powder, mixed it with quart of
egg mash and milk, poured it in the
troughs in the chicken house. The
results were unbelievable. After the
clean up we counted los rats. The

Powder, it kills rats and mice only.

Charlotte Chamber of
Commerce Starts War
On Loan Sharks

Charlotte, N. C.-In addition to the
low wages imposed on them by en-
ployers, underpaid wage earners in
this vicinity are the victims of 10 an
sharks who stand ready to tide the
workers over periods of economic
stress provided Shylock's pound of
flesh is paid to the usurers.
Mr.. Frank Sims, Jr., president of
the Junior Chamber of Commerce,
after thorough investigation of the
loan shark activities here, declared
that the loan sharks are taking $780,

charging excessive interest rates. He

WAKE Up, AMERICA
BY HOWARD WILSON, Executive Secretary Crusaders
Cincinnati District

for it with every law-abiding power
at his command.
The young Crusader of today has
no quarrel with the purpose which
motivated the temperance forces be-
fore prohibition became a law. He
has no quarrel with them because he
is in hearty accord with the idealism
that drove the temperance and pro-
hibition movements to final success
and this new Crusader is going to
demand that every benefit prohibi-
tion brought about be retained 1t is
at this point that the new crusade
breaks with the eighteenth amend
ment. It's leaders and rank and file
are now willing to allow this country
to be- despoiled by agencies spawned
by the eighteenth amendment, pro-
tected by corrupt local politics and
either ignored or condoned by pro-
hibition leaders.
The new Crusader is not going to
condemn the old saloon and with the
same breath make light of the speak
easy and the bootlegger. He is not
going to condemn the corruption that
existed between local politics before
prohibition, and with tn same
breath ignore the present multiple
corruption between the illicit traffic
and local politicians. He is going
to make every possible effort to get
the old temperance forces to cooper
ate with him in his present challenge
to the speakeasy, the bootlegger, the
corrupt politician and the gangster.
He believes that when sincere tenn
perance people understand his mo-
tives, they will back his crusade.
In conclusion, the new Crusaders
have no illusions about the task in
front of them. They know that the
job is not over. They know that
at the close of the prohibition regime
will bring them nothing more than
temporary respite, since the big
gest job confronting the Crusaders
will begin when the dry law ends.
They are dedicated to the principle
that since eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty, continuous agitation

EDITORS Note-This is the fourth
and final article of series, dealing
with the work of the Crusaders, one
of the major national anti-prohibition
organizations with local division in
this city. This group is doing note
worthy work for the repeal of the
18th amendment and also Of the
state enforcement acts.)
In our previous editions we have
told you Of the purpose, principles
and plan of the Crusaders. We have
shown you the spirit that inspired
the organizers. The cooperation
maintained with other major national
anti-prohibition organizations. Warn
ing has been sounded concerning
"racket" organizations processing to
be working in the "wet movement" J"
In our concluding article, we sum-
marize the past and present and give
our pledge for the future.
The new Crusader is not theatrical.
He not bombastc, but he refuses
to be misled.
The new Crusade is not an activity
born of prejudice. Hatred has no
place in the plans Of the young Cru
sader. He has coined a phrase-it is
worth repeating, "No man or woman
was big enough yesterdays big
enough today-or will be big enough
tomorrow to hate and reason at the
same time" And this, he says is the
time of all times since the creation
of man when COOL dispassionate, toll
Grant reasoning power is necessary.
This new champion of human rights
respects to the point of veneration
the legions Of silver-haired women
and gray-haired men who gave the
best part of their lives in placing
the eighteenth amendment on the
statute books. He thrills to the ideal
ism that prompted the great tenn
perance movement Of fifty years ago,
of thirty years ago and of twenty
years ago. He has definitely decided
that actual temperance is so vitally
necessary to the future welfare of
this country that he is going to fight
