TREAT ‘EM RIGHT.
Brother, the day of panhandling
the country newspaper is past. Yon
have to treat it like you do any other
institution or business. In days gone
by you could run rough-shod over
your country paper under the
of community stub, but now you can’t
do that. If you want your paper to
do anything just meet it half way
and you will get it done, but it will
no longer carry the burden of prog¬
ress and let you reap the results and
get the credit. Get busy and
your local newspaper half way or
there is not a thing doing. The worm
has turned.—Bainbridge Post-Search¬

RATS COSTLY TO FARMERS
Farmers seldom consider the loss
they sustain from rats. On the
age annual farm enough destruction
is wrought by rats to pay the farmers’
taxes. Besides the destruction of
000 , 600,000 or more of crops and
property in the nation each year,
are carters of disease.
The rat is far more destructive, di¬
rectly or indirectly, to human life and
property than any wild beast or
mous serpent.
The rat appropriates nearly
thing that man eats, and also
many of his beverages.
The rat follows man with its bale¬
ful influence from the cradle to
grave.
The rat destroys man's poultry and
molests his domestic animals.
The rat has been known to attack
and mutilate infants, sleepers, the
sick, aged and infirm.
The rat is the forerunner and as¬
sociate of famine, pestilence and death
The rat carries the germs of dis¬
ease.
The rat infects man's ships and halv
Rations with the dreaded plague, sets
fire to his dwellings, and ceases its
ravages only when the house burns or
the ship sinks<—Carroll Free Press.
