IN THE United States there are 20.300.000 people engaged in money-making pursuits. Of these, 12.000,000 are engaged in agricultural work; seven million in manufacturing and mechanics; five million, seven hundred thousand in domestic service. This class includes keepers and employees of hotels, restaurants, bootblacks, umbrella menders, employees of saloons and dance halls, and of some minor occupations. It does not include housewives, who are classed in the United States census report ns having "no occupation." Four million, eisht hundred thousand are employed In trades and transportation, and one million, three hundred thousand, or only 4 per cent of the workers, are in the professions. Of all classes of business men in America, the agricultural implement dealer Stands apart as servant to the greatest industrial class of men in the world the farmer.

spent now in overhauling machinery and getting things in shape will save many a day w hen there will be no time to spare. In this stage of the battle ihe implement dealer is holding the most important part of the line. I feel sure he will not neglect his duty that he will Dot prove a slacker. If he does, the whole line will be endangered. I believe every dealer will realize his responsibility. He holds the key to the situation. Because of car shortage and labor shortage and the shortage of material, there is danger that unless he orders early he will not get tho tools until too late. The Dealer Must Do His Part. The implement dealer can do much to help win the war. But he should let at once now. Here are some of the things he can do and should do: Give encouragement; render service; be prepared. Order all supplies early. Find out now what machines and repairs the farmer needs. Keep full stock of implements and repairs. Have standing order for supplies, always needed, to be used at "fillers" !n loading cars to capacity. Unload cars promptly. Show farmers how to get maximum work out of their machines. Use local newspapers to awaken farmers to the need of greater production and of being prepared. Assist in mobilizing retired farmers and training schoolboys for farm Rork. Start movement If necessary to close stores so all may help during rush leason on farms. Grow a garden and help in home garden movement. Be leader in home canning and dryiDg campaign. Be active In food conservation. Show people how to save one-third the Rheat by using potatoes in making bread, . Be a live wire in all public movements In the community.

Is it not -worth while to do out best? L'pon the farmers of this country rests the responsibility of food production, but the implement dealer must provide the farmer with the means for growing more food with less labor. This can be accomplished only through preparedness by furnishing machines and repairs and having them shipped on time. There is little to do on tho farm in winter and a day 33 28 20 14 5 to a Budepest dispatch to the Vossitche Zeitung of Berlin. Five of Count Apponyi's followers decline to join in the movement.

Get Rid of Rats and Mice They Destroy Property Valued eft $200,000,000 Every Year

By P. C

THE rat Is man's most relentless foe. It Is more destructive to property than all the great conflagrations of history; more destructive to human life than all the world's wars. , t

ii is tue aposne or pestilence, me creator oi ramine, tne messenger of death. It fattens off the h?alth and wealth and labor of the human race. With silent and venomous persistence It follows mankind from the cradle to

pain, the aged and infirm. It devours with ravenous greed every nature of food for man or beast It destroys our poultry, annoys and injures our domestic unimals, devastates our growing grain, destroys our harvest. It infests our ships, sets fire to our homes, carries fatal diseases broadcast through the land. I Destroy Much Property. j And not content to menace man's prosperity, health and welfare all the jdays of his life, it follows him into the grave to desecrate and mutilate bis

mortal remains. Not only do rats and mice destroy food, but they have been known to destroy furniture, bedding, clothing, books, valuable papers, harness and per

in many cases by rats. Rats and mice multiply rapidly, breeding from six to ten times a year and bringing forth from six to ten at a litter. It is estimated that the increase from one pair, if undisturbed, will amount to 20,155,000 in three years and 940,370,000,000 in five years. Perseverance Will Get Rid of Rats. There is no easy way to get rid of rats, but it can be done with intelligent and persistant effort, if active co-operation among neighbors is secured. The homes and breeding places of the rats must be destroyed. They must be starved, killed or driven away. Rat-proof buildings and rat-proof bins and cribs for the storing of grain will do much toward ridding a farm of them. Outdoor wood piles or any place where rubbish and tin cans are dumped give excellent protection to rats. A general cleaning up of the premises and the entire neighborhood is the first step in a rat campaign. Keep food away from rats. Have rat-proof garbage cans and keep them covered. Where food is plenty, rats will congregate and remain and it is hard to trap or poison them. There is always danger In using poison. It is better to make generous use of the many kinds of rat traps. A frequent rat drive or "killing" will prove effective. Cats are poor rat catchers and few dogs are better. - Owls are helpful in getting rid of rats, and a pine snake or bull snake will do more than nv other agency In killing or driving away 'rats.

City Engineer Makes Plans for Boulevard City Engineer Davis laid plans before the board of works Monday for the building of a boulevard to run along the west river bank from Main to G street. The plan provides for an arch bridge over the National road, and the opening up of Front street, which would allow part of the traffic that now goes over Main street to use the National road. He also presented a plat for the laying out of the vacant land in the neighborhood of the proposed boulevard and G street, where a bridge is to be built. The board adopted the plans. The board ordered that the ornamental ark lights at North Seventh and A streets and North Ninth and A streets be taken down.

sonal property of all kinds. They injure buildings by undermining foundations or causing the early decay of sills and timbers. They kill trees and shrubbery by gnawing off the roots; set fire to buildings by gnawing matches or stripping the insulation' from -electric wires; flood buildings with water or gas -by gnawing through lead pipes; weaken dams and dikes, causing heavy losses. In the United States rats and mice each year destroy crops and other property valued at over $200,000,000, according to the Department of Agriculture. Government officials declare it costs $1.82 to keep a rat a year. The farmer who feeds 100 rats suffers an annual loss of $182. But the loss of property is trivial in comparison to the loss of human lives caused by rats, which thrive amid filth and carry pollution with them. Millions of human beings have died of bubonic plague, conveyed to man mainly by the rat flea. Trichinosis among hogs, fatal to human life, is commtmicated mostly by rats. Ptomaines, "septic pneumonia," typhoid, scarlet fever, diphtheria and other diseases are also believed to be caused HEATLESS DAYS MAY BE ENDED WASHINGTON. Feb. 4. Heatless Monday, being observed for the third time today, may be abandoned by the fuel administration as the result of a conference of state administrators being held here. The conference was called by Fuel Administrator Garfield to ascertain the saving of coal effected by the fiveday industrial closing order and the two heatless Mondays already observed. Fuel officials have indicated that if reports of the closing showed satisfactory results the heatless holidays might be discontinued in favor of the railroad embargoes now in force as the most effective means of handling the coal shortage in the east and .the traffic congestion as well. Final decision in the matter is expected tomorrow. Frequent 8nd moderate, rain is the most effective of all sanitary agencies.
