Thousands of City Rodents Paid Death Penalty Since Dec. 1 Twelve thousand two hundred and two rats have officially paid the death pen- j alty In Indianapolia since Dec. 1, 1920, when the rat extermination campaign was launched, accoording to figures in the city controller’s offloe. Os these 10,824 were slain this year. The incentive for the destruction of the pests has been the 5-eent bounty offered by the olty for every rat tall presented at the city hall, and to date $610.10 has been expended In this way. City hall officials, however, have been obliged to change their syatem because some of tbe youngsters engaged in the rat campaign have found a way to obtain eaay money. The plan has been for the boys to deposit the tails In the basement of the city hall, where they were given a receipt by tbe cuatodlan. This receipt was then presented to the controller for the j bounty. In several cases it has been | found that the figures were raised by the j boys. For Instance, one boy received j a receipt for “seven” tails, but when he j appeared at the controller's window the figure had been Increased to “seventy- 1 eight.” Now the officials are writing in ! the numbers.

Listen, People! Sarah and I are just plain folks. I couldn’t get over my ambition to show the people of this city that Lew Shank could be a better mayor than a number of others who had pretty fair opinions of themselves. Sarah finally got the same idea and we went into the Republican primary and walloped the whole bunch that couldn’t see things like we did. Next Tuesday the people of this good old town are going to say whether we get the chance to serve them for four vears or not. There have been a lot of bitter things said about me in this campaign and I haven’t been very backward about saying a few myself. It makes me sore to have people who know better try to hook me up with lawbreakers and try to tell my friends that I haven’t any regard for a home and the children of this city. But never mind about all that—folks will get excited in a campaign and say things they do not really believe about each other. This is about the last chance I’ll have to say anything to you before you men and women go to the polls to elect us mayor. I want to get this over to you before I am elected because I’ll get a chance to prove it then. As long as I’ve got the strength to lift a finger I’ll use it in a sincere effort to make this city of Indianapolis a place where Sarah and every other woman can go alone any place they wish to go. As your mayor lam going to conduct the city’s affairs so that Sarah and all the other women of Indianapolis can be proud of my ad- - ministration. Sarah wouldn’t let me do any other way if I wanted to. Thanks, Friends Samuel Lewis Shank * (POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT)
