Now the question arises; Howmany of those who furnished the tips were able to save that much? A good story la out on an employee of a local hardware store. His fellow employees had Impressed the fact upon him that Uncle Sam was calling for volunteers and that there would be a representative here last week to get local men.

Mrs. Keyser tried to kill the rat with a club and the vermin took re fugs In Mr. Keyear’H trouser leg. He captured the rat amidships and after much excitement it was extracted and killed. Mr. Keyser is very modest 1 and reticent about the happening but some of his friends this morning decided to make the facts public.- Bluffton Nows. That the four logged rodent of the pedlpotentia family la considered a post, hi no wonder after the following accusations have been made agaln»t it. For every human being in the United State there Is five rata, or 500.000.060 rats all told. They all eat of course, but what they oat Is less than what they destroy. On a basis of weight, allowing two pounds to a rat and a hundred pounds to the average person, the rata weight one tenth as much aa the population of the United Stales; and without any allowance for waste hy ihv rodents, their malntnin<<nce costs us one tenth ns much a* our own food. The rat is the most destructive of all beasts, both In field and home. If any race of animals ever gets the upper hand of the human race It will he that race to which the rut belongs. They are demons «f cunning and can live tn any climate and endure all conditions.
