ADVERTISEMENTS Wonderful Discovery Kills Rats Like Magic Non-Poisonous Virus Destroys Rats, Mice and Gophers in a Week’s Time—Harmless to Farm Ani- mals and Humans No longer has any farmer reason to fear losses from rats, mice and go- phers. As a result of a wonderful discovery by Dr. R. Alexander, noted bacteriologist of Kansas City, Mo., these dangerous and destructive pests are easily killed off in less than a week’s time. Alexander Rat- Killer Virus, as this wonderful discovery is known, is not a poison. Although ab- solutely deadly to all rats, mice and ophers, it can be eaten freely by ogs, cattle, poultry or any other farm animal without harm. Human beings can eat it with no injurious effect. Doctor Alexander’s wonderful virus works like magic. In only a'few days not a rat is left alive on your place. E. J. Renick, Leeds, Mo., says: ““Alexander Rat-Killer has certainly killed off the rats around here. We have always lost considerable poultry and grain from rats and now we are unable to see either rats or mice. I intend to recommend Alexander Rat- Killer to my neighhors.” Simply mix the virus with bread or meat scraps and place where rats, mice or gophers can get it. In a few hours after a rat has eaten the virus he gets a terrible fever and leaves the bmldmgs to get the fresh air of the open fields. ats and mice thus af- fected- always die far from buildings and leave no bad odor. It is a scien- tific fact that one rat affects others, and soon whole colonies are wiped out at a time. So confident is Dr. Alexander that this wonderful Rat-Killer Virus will kill every rat, mouse and gopher on your farm in one week’s time or less, that he agrees to send, as an in- troductory offer to readers of this paper, a big $2 tube of virus for only $1. Use according to the simple directions and if in one week’s time you are able to discover any rats, mice or gophers, your money will be refunded A big Kansas City bank says Dr. Alexander is re- hable and will do as he agrees. SEND A PENNY. Simply write today—n postcard will do—to E. R. Alexander, Alexander Laboratories, 330 Gateway Station, Kansas Clty, Mo., and the big $2 tube of virug will be mailed at once. When it arrives, pay the postman $1 and a few cents postage, on the guarantee that if not absolutely utxsfac- tory you get your money back. This is a real opportunity to get rid of rats, mice and gophers easily and at little cost Write to Doctor Alexnnder today, and stop the losses caused by these destructive pests.

MORRIS EADERS have noted that we are printing some of the advertising of the Association of Railway Executives, intended by the transportation cor- porations to convince farmers that rates are not too high at present. The dppearance of these ads in the Leader means that the railroads recognize your paper as a good medium in which to reach the farmers with their side of the argument. The advertising revenue helps us meet expenses, and, while we believe. the railroad executives’ arguments thoroughly unsound, we did not feel we should deny them the right of free speech. Ads of this kind often have a bad influence on editors and publishers. In order to get such adver- tisements some publications observe a neutral or friendly attitude toward big corporations. But the Leader would not have taken this businese if it had been offered with any strmgs tied to it, either actual or implied. We deal with the railroad question in this issue on the editorial pages. * * * * * N~ We have arranged with Walter W. Liggett, formerly connected with Non- partisan league headquarters in Minneapolis and North Dakota, but now lo- cated in Washington, D. C., where he corresponds for liberal publications, to furnish the Leader with some articlés on current activities at the national cap- ital. His first article, on the Capper-Tincher grain exchange regulation bill, appears in this issue. We believe you will find his articles mformatlve and en- lightening. The Leader aims, in its Washmgton correspondence, to give read- ers inside facts that can be obtamed in no other farm magazine. * * * % * Are you “helping the Leader and the cause of the organized farmers by patronizing Leader advertisers who have goods to sell? Many big advertisers in farm journals do not patronize the Leader because they oppose our editorial policy. . You should show those who do use cur ad columns to sell goods that you appreciate their support of an independent farmers’ magazine. * * * * * Several more of the John Lord articles on deflation and allied subjects are to come. Mr. Lord has saved some of his best stuff for the concluding chapters. It is pleasing to the Leader staff that readers, judging from their letters to us, appreciate -these articles, which we went to considerable trouble and expense to obtain. Don’t miss the important installments t¢ be printed in the next few issues. * % * * * The Leader’s plan to carry your message to new thousands of farmers during the next year, especially because 1922 will be marked by important po- litical campaigns in every state, gets a setback every time an old subscriber fails to renew. Obviously, if we lose an old subscriber for every new subscriber we obtain, we make no progress in total circulation, and the Leader’s and your power to bring about better conditions does not increase. Renew your expiring Leader subscription promptly. We want to devote our energy in getting new farmers to subscribe, instead of having to lose time and money keeping old subscribers “lined up.” No matter how bad off he is, every farmer can spare $1.50 for a year’s Leader subscription. * * * * * Baer’s cover on this issue is to celebrate Labor Day, which comes this month. The Leader prides itself on the fact that it is the only farm journal in the country working for a better understanding and better co-operation be- tween the workers on the farms and in the cities. Much has already been ac- complished in the work of convincing labor of the cities that farmers are not “profiteers,” “greedy capitalists” and “exploiters of labor,” and much in con- vincing farmers that labor of the cities is not “red,” “bolshevistic” and “un- American.” Farmers can make more money out of their products by cutting out monopoly and profiteering in the market system, without increasing the price of food to labor of the cities. By the same process things and services produced in the cities by labor can be cheapened to farmers without lowering labor’s wage. These truths are dawning on more and more farmers and work- ers every day. p - * * * * * The Leader is six years old this month. = Baer and Morris have drawn suitable cartoons to celebrate our birthday in the next issue. € % R E .
