ADVERTISEMENTS Easy Now to Rid YourFarmofRats Wonderful Discovery by Noted Scientist Kills Every Rat Within a Week’s Time— Not a Poison. Rats cost farmers over two hundred millions of dollars a year, through the destruction of grain, poultry and build- ings. Farmers need no longer suffer this loss because they can now kill off all the rats on their farm in.less than a week’s time. This is possible through the remarkable discovery of E. R. Alexander, a Kansas City chemist, who has perfected a virus which kills rats, mice and gophers as though by magic. This product is not a poison— it can be eaten by human beings or any animal on the farm as safely as their regular food, but means quick, sure death to rats. This wonderful rat virus, which is known as Alexander Rat-Killer, is merely mixed with bread or meat scraps and placed where rats, mice or fiophers can get to it. Within a few ours after a rat has eaten Alexander Rat-Killer he gets a high fever and suffers a terrible thirst. He leaves the barns and nesting holes and goes to the open fields in search of ure air and running water. Rats and mice affect- ed always die away from the barns and houses, so there is no odor. It is a scientific fact that one rat affects others and soon the whole col- ony leaves‘ the buildings and dies. And though this virus is absolutely deadly to rats—chickens, hogs, cattle or any farm animal can eat it and not be af- fected at all. So confident is Mr. Alexander that Alexander Rat-Killer will kill every rat on your farm in less than a week’s time that he offers to send, as an in- troductory offer, a regular $2.00 tube for only $1.00. Give it according to directions, and if at the end of a week’s time you are able to discover any rats, mice or gophers on your farm. your money will be refunded. A big Kansas City bank guarantees that Mr. Alex- ander is reliable and will do as he says. Send NO MONEY. Just write to E. R. Alexander, Alexander Laboratories, 118 Gate- way Station, Kansas City, Mo., and the tube will be mailed at once. When it arrives, pay thé postman only one dollar and postage on the guarantee that if not absolutely satisfac- tory your money will be returned without ques- tion, Write today—a postcard will do—and stop your rat losses now.

GOT RESULTS , The editor of a farmers’ country weekly paper inserted the following notice in his paper: I have documentary evidence that a cer- tain banker- of this county has extorted unreasonable rates of interest from a farmer in financial trouble, and has forced this farmer to agree to grossly unfair con- ditions in connection with loans. banker owes me for subscription to this paper and unless he pays up I will be forced to publish the facts. The next day five bankers called to pay up their subscriptions and during the week 20 more mailed subscription checks to the editor. * * * PHILOSOPHY The woman who has no objec- tion to kissing her husband who wears a beard should not kick when she finds a hair in the soup. * * * Headline: “Wife Refuses to Speak to Him—He Asks Divorce.” The chump! * * * IT SIMS TOO BAD, AS KRAZY KAT WOULD SAY. * * * “You'’ll feel cooler these hot days if you buy your next winter’s coal now and know you won’t have to worry about high prices and shortage next fall.”—Coal dealer’s advertisement. Yes, but what can keep a man from having a rising temperature when he sees the bill at PRESENT prices ? * * * REASONABLE A man doesn’t have to have a fish- ing license in the state of Washington, according to a ruling of the attorney general, if his wife has one and he merely rows the boat while she fishes, and can produce his marriage license when challenged by the game warden. * * * NEIGHBORS “Sir, why did you shoot my dog?” “Because he killed my cat.” “But your cat killed one of my chickens.” “Well, your chicken was scratching up my garden.” * * * Why is it that the terms for inebriation refer to things about the house? Thus: A drunken man is said to be “plastered” (like a wall); or “has an edge on” (like a knife); or “has a bun on” (like a plate); or is “pickled” (like vari- ous things to eat); or is “soaked” (like mother’s weekly washing); or is “three sheets to the wind” (also like the weekly washing); or is “full” (like the coal bin isn’t). * * * HOUSEHOLD HINTS Doughnuts will not explode if kept in a cool place. Your husband’s safety razor is ex- cellent for cleaning kitchen pans. Drooping or limp asparagus can be stiffened by binding sticks on it with white string. % Place a pair of shears with the knife and fork by each plate when serving spaghetti. * * The United States commissioner of Indian affairs has issued an order-to the Lake Superior Chippewa Indians forbidding them to dance some of the old tribal dances, which the commis- sioner says are immoral. But the young bucks and squaws of the tribe never dance those dances anyway, ac- cording to John Arten, member of the Lake Superior tribal council of the Chippewas. Probably they attend modern dances and find the “toddle” and “shimmy” adequate. Cut and Dried l FOR NAVAL CANDIDATES Testimony before the congressional committee investigating methods used by Newberry, a former naval officer, to beat Henry Ford for the Michigan United States senatorship is to the ef- fect that Newberry had a wooden imi- tation of a battleship constructed, and had moving pictures taken to aid his campaign, showing him in uniform strutting up and down the deck of the fake ship. Why he stopped there is a mystery. Any moving picture di- rector with little trouble and expense could have added the details of a naval battle. They could have had the flag shot down and shown Newberry shin- ning up the mast to replace it. He could have bgen gloriously wounded doing that and shown refusing to go below till the battle was won. What a vast field of campaign suggestion this opens up. Who will be the 100 per center to really carry the idea to its logical conclusion ? * * * WHY FARMERS FAIL (No. 2) Ole Olson Farmed a year; Books showed him In the clear. - But he boasted All too soon— Left out taxes, The poor prune! * * * Whatever may be said about the brilliant attack of the Yankees, no one will maintain, we take it,-that they are making a Ruth-less assault on the other teams in the penn:mt race. * * SIMPLE. “Say, pa, why do they call it Yap island 7” “Well, you see, son, it was awarded to Yapan by the league of nations.” * * ® ‘When we went to war with Ger- many we had to abolish German fried potatoes and German measles, but it won’t be so bad if the jingoes have their way and we get into a war with Japan. We can not think of any Japanese terms that have gotten into the English language. Or maybe we had better say the “American lan- guage,” in order to get some practice in case the next war should be with Great Britain. * * * TAKING NO CHANCES A colored man from Kentucky dreve to a warehouse with a load of tobacco. ‘When he received his sales slip and weights he mnoticed the customary bank check was missing. Approach- ing the cashier he said: “Look here, boss, where is my money for this here tobacco ?” The sales sheet was consulted. “It’s like this, the expenses for weighing, unloading and commission for selling” your tobacco amounted to more than the tobacco was worth. You see, you still owe us just 59 cents,” ex- plained the cashier. . “Well, that’s all right, I guess, but I ain’t got a cent with me.” “Then next time you are coming over the river, just bring along a chicken with you and we will call the deal square.” y Within a week the colored man ap- peared in the office with two chickens, one under each arm. “Here are the chickens.” “Sure—but you didn’t have to bring ;w;) 'of them, one would have paid the ill.”. “Yes, boss, but I’se brought another load of tobacco.” PAGE TWELVE » ADVERTISEMENTS We Are the Largest Dealers in Army Goods.
