I SCHINDLER HAS HIGH GRADE. I The long vigil is over. The matter, | that bas been keeping a number of men awake nights guessing as to who would get the highest grade in the examination Ht|r postmaster at Berne has been decided. The grades' have been received by all applicants who took the examination and Vilas Schindler received the highest grade, nosing out G. C. Baumgartner by a bare one-tenth of one per cent. Os course the appointment has not as yet been made, it is generally conI sidered that the person who received, the highest grade, has the best chances for appointment, but until j official appointment is made, the iden-' . tity of Berne's future postmaster can-] | not be positively stated.—Berne Witness. FLOWERS ARE STOLEN Mrs. James Hurst, corner of Thirteenth and Monroe streets, was much 1 grieved this morning when she step-: ped out to find that somebody had. I stolen thirty-five or forty of her choice I tulips, breakng off the flowers, and in j three cases pulling the plants up by, the roots and throwing them away; j I after breaking off the blooms. She. has spent much time and labor m ’ beautifying her home-grounds and is always liberal with her flowers. Any-, one asking her for flowers would gladly be given a bouquet, so .'.at there. is no need of stealing the same. She is justly indignant over the wanton | destruction and anyone caught tress-j passing, will be dealt with according i to law, most severely. TALKED ON GARDENING. Mr. '»lason of Purdue university j I gave an excellent talk on gardening, I at the meeting of the Root Township ’ Home Economics' club at the home of Mrs. S. S. Magley at Monmouth I yesterday afternoon, which more than thirty ladies attended. The spraying of garden products to keep away injurious or destructive life was dwelt upon. The other features of the pro-' gram, including readings and music, 1 was nicely carried out. Mrs. E. S. Christen will have the June meeting ( the fourth Thursday in that month. I, | I.

THE COMMON EAT Menace to Health and the I Cause of a Loss of Property Says Governor, TUESDAY IS RAT DAY By Proclamation of Governor Goodrich —Help to Drive ’Em Out. The menace to health and the great loss of property by the unrestrained activities of the common rat and other rodents, have become so serious that the subject should receive atten- | tion at the hands of all the citizens l of the state. I have been requestI ed by the health department and the food production and conservation I committees of the state to point out the necessity of and fix a date for the I entire citizenship of the state to give at least one day to well directed es--1 fort in killing the rodents, destroyng 1 their haunts, and otherwise attempt- ! ing to remove the menace from our ' state. The rat is known to be the instru- ' nient for spreading many infectious ' diseases of both man and beast, j spread diseases that developed into plagues, destroying hundreds of thousands of people in various parts of the world. | The financial losses incident to the rat’s activities are of such vast proportions. according to reliable authority, that from that standpoint , alone, the people should be unseas-, ing in their efforts to destroy them. ' . According to bulletins from the U. S. 1 biological survey, it takes the con- , ( stant services of 200,000 men with J I equipment in United States to pro- ' vide for the rats, supplying them with ! food and repaying the damage they J .do to property. The same authority 1 I says in Great Britain the rat popu- < lation equals the human population J and the damage done amounts to ' SI.BO per rat, with an equal amount • in other countries, while in the Unit- i ed States, with present high prices 1 of food and other property destroyed,; the damage wflll amount to much 1 1 more than $200,000,000 per annum.' 1 In Indiana alone on that basis, over! $5,000,000 property loss per year is sustained. The anti-rat law’, passed by the. general assembly of this state and approved March 14, 1913, takes cognizance of these facts and directs the procedure for their extermination by! authorizing the governor to issue his' proclamation, providing far organiz-l ed effort throughout the state on the part of all the people, to give at least I one day’s time to the work of de-’ sti'uction. Therefore, I desire to designate, I Tuesday, May 27, 1919, as “Rat Day” i in Indiana and call upon and urge all j the people of the state to free their, j premises and their communities of j rats and other rodents and further J recommend and urge the mayors ci j cities, boards of county commission- ; ers, township trustees, boards of ed- : ucation and other public officials to , assist in the organization of the people of their respective jurisdiction for . this work and otherwise enforce the • provisions of the law. I further request boards of trade, civic and com mercial organizations, associations, clubs. Boy Scout troupes, agricultural and al lother similar organizations and activities, including the public press, to assist in this campaign. I further recommend that new buildings should he made rat proof, old buildings not so constructed as far as pnasible. be remodeled and rendered rat proof; that harboring places should be destroyed; that public markets an dother public buildings should be rat-proofed and frequently inspected. Upon request the state board oi health and Purdue university will supply printed pamphlets and bulle tins setting forth ways and means for abating this rat evil, likewise plan for and methods of rat-proofing the buildings.
