A good sister praised her pastor’s courage because of his severe and out spoken censi.re of Satan. > Prom an exchange: “Henry Walk sr hit himself badly the other day when he eat os hie false teeth.” Old Noah Webster would never stick to one subject very long, but he cer ts inly bad a wonderful vocabulary. Senator Smoot and Simmon s had a hot tilt over the tariff on beans. And It looks as though someone had spilled The Destructive Rat. Public health authorities estimate that the actual loss caused by rat* in the United States amounts to $400,- 000,000 a year, of which about one- half is in foodstuffs and the rest in the destruction of other property. The number of rats engaged in these depredations is estimated at 120.000,- 000, or about equal to the country’s hu man population. : Besides the destructiveness of the rat is its constant menace to health throdgh the transmission of disease, •specially bubonic plague, which is spread entirely by flea* which infest infected rats. While the disease has been held in check in countries employ ing preventive measures, bubonic plague killed more than 11,000,000 people in India during a 20-year pe riod. The Public Health Service declares that if the extraordinarily prolific breeding of rats were not partially controlled by natural enemies, disease and the cannibalistic tendencies of the Animal itself, they would soon overrun the world and exterminate man by de priving him of his sources of food. Like many other ever-present men aces to property and health, tho rat appears to be taken for granted, and seldom is any concerted effort made with a view to its extermination. Goods Not Ordered . Considerable annoyance is often egused by the practice of certain Arms which send goods by mail to persons who have not ordered them. Sometimes the goods are accompan ied by stamps for their return in case the recipient does not desire to keep pay for them. But the re-wrap- and return of these packages is r, according to the Nation- Better Business Bureau, which has legal opinions on the subject goods are not ho need neither Fall Barrage — N $ //(this 5^)1 \s Becoming more.

And if they are not called for within a reason able time, the recipient may have a claim for storage. While no noe would ordinarily desire to keep goods for which payment had not been made, the paying for unor dered merchandise, or even the return to the sender, simply encourages the practice of trying to force goode upon the public. If everyone would follow the advice here given, the nuisance would be stopped in short order. Game Rooster Spurs Perry Bush. Bright Boy Problem. We hear a good deal about the nec essity for special attention to the dull child, and every aid which may be given these unfortunates ought be given. But a lot of bright boy* need some thought and practical as sistance. too. Education of the masses to a cer tain common level ia to be desired, but unleaa the boy who shows excep tional talent can be given special op portunities to develop his latent powers, not only he, but the world at large, is the loser. Thousands of mediocre boys go through college with little l>enefit to themselves or to society, while other thousands who have great gift* are denied the privilege, through lack of means. That any boy with exceptional talent for creative work, scientific re search or leadership should lack the opportunity to make the most of that talent is a tragedy. Upon such boya and their proper training depends the progress of the world. The same is true of especially talented girls. When our civilization ia a little far ther advanced, means will be provided that our brightest minds shall have every opportunity for their highest development. Such means should be provided now. Perry B. Bush, popular clerk of the Board of County Directors, was pain fully injured Friday afternoon when he wa fl spurred by a game rooster that he was trying to catch. The spurs of the fighting gamecock struck Mr. Bush on the wrist and hand. The Barnwell man was given anti-tetanus treatment at once and his friendg are glad to see him on the streets again.

MONTANA WILDCAT Bobby Jones, famous golf champion, says he will continue to play as long a« he “can walk and earn a living as a lawyer.” President Von Hindenburg, of Ger many, will preside over the world power conference to be held in Berlin next year. China has established a radio con trol bureau similar to our Federal Radio Commission. Tho Problem of Youth. From the earliest times it appears that the pr<* >le ;v *f direeUng ymm;? folks in the proper wa> has eng:ige-t the serious attention of reformers rnu uplifters— k i j bi.?y')odicj. A book c-i t*iq»u*t f e published: m 1850 gr'W'.y warns young w'men cf the perils of the waltz, and declares that “unrn.t.nod l«i.:ics shouli .relmin from the waltz altogether, n pu l rc and in private.” It i s assumed that married ’adi?s were •'-upoc^e- 1 to re immune to its demoralizing effects. Every once in a while someone digs up an old newspaper or magazine con taining an article which throws light on this tendency to worry about the young people of the past. The boys and girls of the present generation are likewise causing consternation among the self-appointed guardians of mor ality. But, the youngsters of today, in spite of their seeming frivolity, are the sanest, cleanest and most promis ing crop of future citizens the world has ever seen. Whatever their failings, they are not hypocrites—and that can not be ■aid of most of their critics. Lvdia Mihm and Helen Ornstein.
