Water Barrel as Trap
Reduces Rat Population

AXTELL, KAMA steel water
barrel has turned out to be a good
rat trap on the farm of Earl and
Paul Landreth near here.
The mechanism OF the trap is
very simple, the Landreths say.
The rats run up board that leans
against the barrel. On gaining the
top, they reach out to get a drink
of water. Then comes the blow.
The water is just out OF reach. The
rats lean over too far, lose their
balance and fall in.
They drown like rats. In fact the
Landreths get rid of about 80 that
way in one week.

hardly surprising one, that the

ed-a structure having room inside

Tutitang on the Hankow Canton

against the Hankow sector and be-
cause of slow communications from
that strongly held japanese zone,

concerned the location of the Chi

captured Changteh to climax the
bloody, six weeks battle in the vi
cinity of Tmgting Lake.

Whether the operation was en-
tirely a diversionary move and the
Chinese troops had now been with
drawn from the three cities district
of Hankow- -Wuchang Hanyang was
not yet known.
However, a communique from the
14th United States Air Force today
said Mitchell bombers had attacked
both HankoW and Wuchang Thurs
day night, starting many fires, and
thus indicating that the harasS-
ing of the big Japanese base had
not been halted Immediately.
Chinese troops continued their
pursuit of the battered japanese di-
visions retreating from Changteh.
and intense fighting was reported
at many points on 120mile front
zigzagging northward to the Yang
TIE River -,
Widespread successes were re-
ported, particularly against enemy
units west of Linli, 25 miles north of
Changteh. The high command said
they were dealt knockout blows by
our forces, and their ability to at
tack collapsed this morning"
