for the service. The eradication work
is done at cost as a demonstration.
Similar campaigns have recently been conducted in the Ohio towns of
Dayton. Piqua, Springfield, Middle-
town and Hamilton. At Middletown the campaign was staged by decision
of the city manager and city commls- ' sion after losses due to rata had been
. figured. One-third of the city's grain
supply had been eaten by rats. Work Out Method.
" "The method of application of the
poison hag been carefully worked out by the federal authorities, says 'Mr.
Waterhouse. "We follow these direc
- tions "which include the use of three different classes of food baits, a meat, a vegetable and cheese or a cereal. As the poison is odorless and tasteless.
the baits are eaten eagerly by the rod ents.
"The mineral acts as a corrosive and drives the mice or rats out of the fcuilding. They keep constantly on the move, and as it takes from four to 30
hours to kill, are never found near
wher they get the bait. In one case a " rat travelled five mile5 before it died." Anthrax, bubonic plague, diphtheria.
Infantile paralysis, typhus and other
T contagious diseases are earned by rats
Mr. Waterhouse stated in pointing out
reasons for their eradication. The
economic loss caused by rodents also Is enormous, each one being charged with the destruction of $1.82 worth of
food in a year while their rapid in
crease, of eight litters a year, averag
ing 10 to a litter, after the female is
three months of age, makes them a serious menace where they are not
fought. Rats Are Dangerous
. Besides the diseases which they
spread, rats are themselves danger
. ous. The bite is as dangerous as , that of a rattlesnake," say federal
; authorities. Blood poisoning in
. virulent form is almost certain to result from their bite. Even dead rats
should never be touched, warns Mr,
..Waterhouse. If it is necessary to .lift one, it should be carried by the
, tail with a paper protecting the hand
from direct contact.
Barium carbonate is not poisonous to human beings, and is poisonous to
cats and dogs only in large quanti
ties, not in the quantities used for
'rodents.

ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 14. Mrs. W.

session next Monday.
"The Grand Old Woman of Georgia'

accuracy can be obtained by using the level line. A high grade enamel fly line braided solid from the finest of silk and care fully enameled by the vacuum process and dressed down by hand several times costs in a level about six dollars and in a double tapered ten.
A high price for a line, but they are
well worth it when one considers tha
long wearijv qualities they possess. They have wonderful finish and flexibility and wA not kink and their cor
rect balance causes them to carry
true.
By giving one of these lines the proper care by rubbing them down
with deer fat or Pioneer line paste one can get several season of hard service
from them and the satisfaction a ny
caster obtains from using a line of this grade more than offsets the price
he pays for one.
14 MEN INDICTED
FROM GRAIN ALCOHOL ROBBERY AT DAYTON
DAYTON, Ohio, Nov. 14. Fourteen
men were indicted by the federal grand jury, which returned Its report yesterday, in connection with an al
leged theft of grain alcohol valued a: $204,000 at current prices.
The case, in its magnitude and in
the number of defendants, bids fair
to rival the famous Remus conspiraej at Cincinnati last year.
Authorities declare it is the biggest
conspiracy against the Volstead act
which has been uncovered in recent months. The defendants named in the indict
ment yesterday are Cecil H. Kearns, Zebnor C. Rose, Alexander M. Mason, Charles S. Weseel, Tony Sodd. Nathan J. Borenstein, W. Earl Talheim. John
C. Price, his brother, Frank Price; Anthony Cyronise, Chester A. Brown

An hour and a half later' two men
leaped on the rear of a U-Save-Tt Stores company truck three miles east of Dayton on tha- Xenia pike and forced David Clark, driver, to give
them $77 in cash.
The filling station robbery occurred in full bight of hundreds of passing automobiles. The station Is flooded
with large electric lights.

CRUEL TREATMENT CHARGED j Cruel and inhuman treatment is alleged in the suit tor divorce filed by Agnes Lloyd against Emery Lloyd. The complaint states they were married Oct. 5, 1918, and separated Oct. 9 1922. TWO FORECLOSURE SUITS Two suits to foreclose mechanic's lien were brought by the Bennett Tire
store late Monday. They were for
$26.10 and $25 respectively and were brought against D. C. Brown and Ho mer Miller. SUES FOR DAMAGES

Tax collections for the fall Installment total $S80,412.90, according to the latest report from the county treasurer's office.
lReid Memorial Church Men
To Supervise Banquet L Members of the Men's Bible class of the Reid Memorial church will be directly responsible for all of the preparations for the Father and Son ex-
of the church Wednesday evening. Supper, prepared and served by the men, will start the program of the evening
at 6:30 o'clock and a short program will follow.

that even if they are caught they will suffer nothing more than detention in
prison.
If members of the Irish parliament,
which resumes Wednesday express in public what some of them have been
saying in private there is sure to be
searching criticism of the govern
ment's ineffectiveness against the ir
regulars. The latter's policy of dis
locating railway traffic is witnessed
daily in the wholesale burning of sig
nal boxes, some of them on suburban lines quite close to the city. It has
become a common thing to seize a train and let it run loose at full speed, certain of a smash up. Appalling con
sequences of this wild practice have
been obviated so far only by good luck.
Considering some arrests which
have been made and others which have not been made, it is inferred that there are differences of opinion in the Irish cabinet as to what ought to be done to put a stop to the irregular. Apparently there republican leaders are not
seriously evading arrest, for the whereabouts of DeValera and his principal colleagues are said to be well known. Only the other day Erskine Childers, one of DeValera's leading lieutenants, was arrested at his cousin's house, a place where he has frequently resided and where it would seem natural to look for him. It was inferred that he must either have expected immunity such as had been enjoyed by his chief colleagues, or else he wanted to
be arrested. There are some who
think such a desire is shared by De Valera, and that hence it ought not to be gratified. WELFARE LEAGUE TO ELECT DELEGATES
Reports of last year's activities, and suggestions for the 1923 program of the Welfare League, will be heard at
the annual meeting of individual coi
tributors in the K. of P. temple, at 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening. Dele
gates to the council, which is th
governing body of the league, will be elected at the meeting. All contributors and interested pe'sons' are invited to attend this meeting. The delegates to be elected' will represent the individual contributors. These delegates will make up 25 per cent of the delegates elected by various organizations which form a part of the league. Each of these organ;zations elects two delegates.
musical selections were exceptionally well given. Community singing was featured at the opening of the program under the direction of P. H. Slocum, secretary of Community Service.

Although some doribts have been expressed regarding Bonar Law's safety in his campaign for election from the Central Glasgow district, the correspondent says nobody seriously believes the premier will be rejected. But it is certain that his two opponents Sir George Paish, Liberal candidate and the Laborite Bailie Mitchel will poll more votes than it was first expected.

Sir William. The situation throughout the populous Lanarkshire is much the same, according to the correspondent who believes that only unusual energy can defeat the Laborites in several places. Woman Vote Puzzle Everywhere the great puzzle perplexing the organizers ' is how the women will vote. It is the experience of canvassers throughout the country that women are taking more practical interest in the elections than ever bo-
fore, although their interest was fre
quently considerable even before they had the right to cast ballots. v
The Daily Mail quotes a man who
has had more than 20 years' experi
ence in election canvassing as saying
it is easier to impress ninety-nine men than it is to impress just one woman. He classified women into three groups.
those who regard a request for their vote as impertinence; those who take politics from their husbands and thos-a who distrust politics altogether and regard canvassers in the same light as tax collectors. The gentleman who thus classified the female voters confessed he did not know which of the three classes
