DAVIS MID ROSSER IN SILVER CUPS

Greenfield Chicken Fanciers Bring Home High Prizes From the Eaton (O.) Poultry Show.

A. V. Davis and John V. Rosser, two well known Greenfield chicken fanciers, who attended the Eaton, Ohio, Poultry Show Wednesday, made quite a winning there, Mr. Davis, with his Partridge Rocks and Mr. Rosser with his Rhode Island Reds.

Mr. Davis won first, second and third pullet second cockerel, first pen, and also won the §15 silver cup.

Mr. Rosser won first and second pullet, first hen and second cockerel, also winning two -$10 silver cups.

They speak very highly of the show at Eaton, where almost 700 birds were on display. They say the Eaton association does not have nearly as nice coops as the Greenfield association has, however.

JUT MIST BE EXTERMINATED

Spreads Disease and Destroys .Millions of Dollars' Worth of Property—Now is the Time to Use a

Reliable Exterminator and Save Trouble.

The rat is severely condemned as a disease breeder by R. H. Creel, past assistant surgeon of the U. S. Public Health Service in a public health report i-sued by the service. "Of all the parasites that have their being and around the habitation of man. the rat has less to justify its existence than any other." reads the report.

In nearly every city the number of rats is something in excess of the human population, while in the rural districts the number of rats will easily figure three or four times the number of people. It is easy to calculate from these figures the millions of dollars of damage done to property by rate of this country in a year. A good husky well built rat is undoubtedly abie to gnaw and destroy anywhere from $5 upwards depending upon whether his tastes are for packing boxes or expensive woodwork.

The Ohio State Board of Health in a recent report makes many valuable suggestions for public health. And one of the most interesting chapters is on that sneaky and omnivorous pest, the rat. It is useful sometimes to know just what diseases are spread by this nocturnal •v prowler, and the amount of damage he does. The state's report gives some interesting facts, and perhaps the slothful housekeeper, after reading them will go after the rats with more than usual vim. Turning over in bed and swearing at rats heard prying off the lid of the garbage can under the kitchen window, will bo found to be a most unprofitable pastime. Rat poison is urged as a much more effective method.

Remember that the Ohio Stale Board of Health recommends rat poison as an effective method of' exterminating rats. It is not expensi\e in this way to gel rid of the rats. Go to your dealer and buy a 25-eent box of any reliable rat exterminator that he sells and one night's use should show a visible a,, decrease in the rat population in your neighborhood and lessening of the chances for the rats to destroy your property or bring disease fnto your home. dw (Advertisement)

l\ MEMORIAL!

In Loving Remembrance of our dear brother. Willie B. McDuffie, who departed this life one year ago, February 1 i, 1913:

Just one year ago today, since Hi at awful message came that, as you journeyed homeward you met such a cruel fate. Oh, what hitter grief! A shock severe. Oh, sad was the parting, it tilled us with pain. Our hearts are pierced with sorrow, our eyes are tilled with I ears, as through each moment of the year, we think of brother, kind and true.

Our fondest, hopes are blighted, I he brightest days are fraught with gloom, since brother was taken away. We miss the fond and willing hands that have toiled with earnest care we miss the smile, the loving word that cheered us day by day. Our sighs, our tears, jour longing haw- been in vain, for only in memory's love do we see him.

Oft in gladness we have gathered around the fireside in our home, but now there reigns an air of sadness. Lonely are our hearts today, for the one we loved so dearly, has been taken from our home. The depths of our sorrow we can not tell it lies in our hearts concealed in the loss of him we loved so well.

When we ha.ve passed over the river, so' dark and cold, through the pearly gates to the city of gold, then with our visions clear, we will read the meaning of our tears and there some time we will understand. Day by day our hopes grow brighter, as we near the shining shore, for just across the river, Willie waits lo welcome us. 12dl-14dl Mother and Sisters. (Advertisement)
