VOLUME XXXVIII, NO. 4 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1920 PRICE EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS (Continued from last week.) Robinson could pack the piston rods to about an hour or less, but it was too late to do it and there were too many mountains to climb to continue on the journey. The car was stopped. I vaulted out and made my way to an open space. It was as 'dark as midnight,' but in the distance by the twilight, I could see a dwelling I looked on the other side of the road and before me was a schoolhouse. Right across the road was another dwelling. I decided that we could camp in that school house top for the night and the car was soon run in and then the jeep packed on the running board was thrown over the car. SCEAM HEATED TEXT Rosecoe had charge of driving the dogs into the ground and with Cagnioli's assistance we were soon unseen. It did not take over twenty minutes to find ourselves inaccessible with the extension of electrical light from the dash board extended from the cancer of the car. Then supper was served. In the meantime the 500 pounds o f spasm in that Stanley pelter served its most comfortable purpose. It was not being used to run the engine so that the engine would propel the car, but to heat this tent which covered the car and extended over seven feet on either side. THE LAND OF DREAMS I do not know how long Roscoe, Cogbilli and Robinson sat down and pee. I got my supper and then, the next extension cot over the seats in the car was occupied by me, while the double cot had been opened for the reception of Roscoe and Cogbill. I have a light recollection of Roman cats crawling up in that "Pullman" one time at the negat and I went to sleep again, reading almost as recently as I did in my own bed, home several hundred miles away, awoke early the next morning and 6 o'clock climbed down and arranged my tote. I saw light in the windows of the adjoining house. I all sleep while I went out on a tow tins inspection. In the school house pump was a pump and I soon had pleas of fresh water. Later all we were waked and breakfast served. A LEAF FROM HISTORY Then Robinson began the work of packing the pistons. When this job was completed and the tent had been locked away and the car was ready for the journey, we came out from our retreat for the night. I strolled on the road and saw right at the intersection a metal slab with the flowing inscription: "The British Army, which had dissharded at the head of the Elk River and was advancing for the capture Philadelphia divided at this pointently in the morning of Sempterember, 1777. Kymphenburg's Division of missions and British followed the I Chester road direct to Chaddsford while Howe with Corwlis' Division marched north to Triblehead on the western Brandy wine in order to outthink the American any under Washington at Chaddsford. Exected by the Pennsylvania historical Commission and the Chess and Deleware County Historical societies 1845." IN PHILADELPHIA My time was out. We had cleaned our campground and the Stam was waiting for me on the cone roadway. I vaulted in and a moment's later was racing forads Philadelphia where I knew it only Dr. R. E. Jones and his dame were expecting me. The o was pleasant. We went in on our street to the former location of the f雪ley Steam car. The oorn had moved and so we were on our way to the new location. Off the car there for repairs and I hoped to have the work done in but two hours in order for us to continue our trip to New York. A LONG WAIT the manchist looked at me in as midnight. He got to work on the last once. It was Friday. He night that it might be ready by now if all I wanted done was so. I inspected that I could not call I long. I left it there while the back in the pumps was being emailed and the aspirins were being added. They inspected me in a new mail, the sell-off price of which had been reduced $925.00. It was only $3,950 F. O. B. Newton and with the government's charges and the freight would cost just a little over four thousand dollars. The previous price had been around five thousand dollars. STILL THINKING. I was thinking deeply. I was thinking while I was there and I was still thinking when I left there. I am still thinking. I owned one Stanley and I was about to rebuild another that I lost by fire. What I want to know what allowance I would receive for my two cars. The market had slowed up, due to the drop in the selling price. People were waiting for the prices to come down lower. I called up Dr. Jones and we were soon on our way to his residence in 22nd St. I stopped at the kingsgate of Pythia Castle where Grand Chancellor B. G. Cotter holds sway. A METHODIST I found myself with Dr. R. E. Jones and his Madame Thursday night and all of us were in the hands of the Methodists. As for the other members of my party they were seeing the sights of Philadelphia on their own hook at my expense. From Our palk, the Dunbar Theatre was one of the places visited. The Metho uses of beamer were giving an en-Armament, a veritable theatrical play for the benefiq of the A. M. E. Church. These taking a part in the play showed rare ability, Mrs. Jones was especially interested on account of the fact that Miss Squirrel, one of the main characters and the "star" in the play had been trained by her. DR. JONES SPEAKS. At the conclusion of the entertain ment, Dr. R. E. Jones and his Mad une spoke and then I came in for an introduction. We soon entered Dr. Jones limousine driven by an Italian chauffeur and soon found ourselves at Dr. R. E. Jones residence again. I went to bed feeling tired and slept well. I had a dim recollection of Robin on's entering the room some time during the night, but as I did not look at my watch I went to sleep again. When morning came I stayed in bed and the gabout 7 o'clock I heard a knock at the door and then another knock. OUR HOSTS COFFEE I arose and opened the door. There stood Dr. Jones favorite servant. He had a silver tray on which was coffee cream and toast and in addition to Philadelphia morning paper. I gravely accounted this offering and even awoke Robinson to give him what he remained in the silver coffee pq after I had completed my repast. I was certainly being treated royally. I read the paper and then later in came Dr. R. E. Jones. He had given me his own room. He was worried. His fay write man servant had failed him. SHERIFF FEARS LYNCHING AND REMOVES FIRSORER.

HAMPTON FORGETTS GAME TO THE UNION ELEVEN. (Ry. Charles H. Williams.) Hampton, Va., November—One of the hardest fought games ever played on the Hampton institute grounds was witnessed on Thanksgiving Day when Hampton and Union clashed in their annual game. The day was a perfect one. The biggest crowd of the season we on hand. During the first part of the game the visitors were taken off their feet by the aggressive play of Hampton. A field goal was kicked after the first few minutes of play, which was followed by a touchdown ending the first half 9 to 0 in Hampsons favor. In the second half Union came back with a fighting spirit. During the third quarter Hampton was forced to hold Union for downs three times on the one and two-yard line. A touchdown was finally made by Union, resulting from a 30 yard one. A touchdown was finally made toward pass which was dropped in the field of play, rolling across the goal line and covered by a Union plan. It was deferred a fumble ball by the officials thus giving Union a touchdown. During the last few minutes of lay Union carried the ball within the 6 yard line on a forward pass. It was the play on the ast down on which the referee declared a touchdown. The Hampton team refused to accept the decision. At this time the crowd surged on the field and became unmanageable. The unfortunate ending marred one of the cleatest and most thrilling games of the year. The Hampton-Union game was filled with sensational running and posing on both slides. The feature of the game was the wonderful defenive playing of the Hampton eleven. Reference: A. K. Savoy; Umpire E. B.

I home several hundred miles away, awoke early the next morning and it 6 o'clock climbed down and arranged my table. I saw light in the windows of the 'adjoining house, all I sleep while I went to inspection. The school house cost was a pump and I soon had piece of water. Later all we swaked and breakfast served. A LEAF FROM HISTORY Then Robinson began the work of packing the pistons. When this job was completed and the tent had been packed away and the car was ready or the journey, we came out from our retreat for the night. I strolled at on the road and saw right at the intersection a metal slab with the flowing inscription: "The hallowed bay which had dislodged at the head of the Elk Riv and was advancing for the capture Philadelphia divided at this point in the morning of Sempterember, 1777.

IN PHILADELPHIA My time was out. We had cleaned our camping ground and the Stamford was waiting for me on the cone to roadway. I vaulted in and a few moments later was racing towards Philadelphia where I knew at only Dr. R. E Jones and his dame were expecting me. The oo was pleasant. We went in on our outstreet to the former location of the Stanley Steam car. The oo was on our way to the new location, left the car there for repairs and I hoped to have the work done in out two hours in order for us to embark our trip to New York. A LONG WAIT the machinist looked at me in an aidment. He got to work on the at once. It was Friday. He might that it might be ready by day if all I wanted done was so. I insisted that I could not wait in the left if there, while the back in the right and the scribes were being ad. They interested me in a new day, the sellax price of which had been reduced $25.00. It was only $9,500 F. O. B. Newton and with the government's charges and the freight would cost just a little ever four thousand dollars. The previous price had been around five thousand dol- STILL THINKING. I was thinking deeply. I was thinking ing while I was there and I was still thinking when I left there. I am still thinking. I owned one Stanley and I was about to rebuild another that I lost by fire. What I want to know what allowance I would receive for my two cars. The market had slowed up, due to the drop in the selling price. People were waiting for the prices to come down lower. I called up Dr. Jones and we were soon on our way to his residence in 22nd St I stopped at the Knights of Pythia Caste where Grand Chancellor B. G. Colther holds sway. A METHODIST. I found myself with Dr. R. E. Jones and his Madame Thursday night and all of us were in the hands of the Methodists. As for the other members of my party they were seeing the sights of Philadelphia on their own hook at my expense. From their talk, the Dunbar Theatre was one of the places visited. The Metho dos of Belmar were giving an entertainment, a veritable theatrical play for the benefit of the A. M. E. Church. Those taking a part in the play showed rare ability. Mrs. Jones was especially interested on account of the fact that Miss Squirrel, one of the main characters and the "star" in the play had been trained by her. DR. JONES SPEAKS. At the conclusion of the entertain mont, Dr. R. E. Jones and his Mad apo spoke and then I came in for an introduction. We soon entered Dr. Jones limousine driven by an Igalian chauffeur and soon found ourselves at Dr. R. E. Jones residence again. I went to bed feeling tired and slept well. I had a dim recollection of Robinson's entering the room some time during the night, but as I did not look at my watch I went to sleep again. When morning came I stayed in bed and the about 7 o'clock I heard a knock at the door and then another knock. OUR HOST'S COFFEE I arose and opened the door. There stood Dr. Jones favorite servant. He had a silver tray on which was coffee cream and toast and in addition to Philadelphia morning paper. I grazed only accepted this offering and even awoke Robinson to give him what he majored in the silver coffee paper after I had completed my repast. I was certainly being treated royally. I read the paper and then later in came Dr. R. E. Jones. He had given me his own room. He was worried. His fav orite man servant had failed him. SHRIRIFE FEARS LYNCHING AND REMOVES FRASERER.

A SUCCESSFUL TAG DAY On Wednesday, November 10, 1920 there were many workers on the streets of Richmond soliciting funds for the Old Folks Home for Colored People and the Friends Asylum for Colored Orphans. The workers were notting in their efforts and were out in the early morn and remained until the close of day so that all who were deprived of helping these worthy and needy institutions could have an opportunity to donate to them. The friends and the general public responded more liberally and the committee on Tag Day takes this method to thank all who assisted in any way in making it such a great success and the generous public that contributed so liberally. The total amount raised, eight hundred and eighty one dollars and twenty cents. ($881.20) MRS. BETTIE MEREDITH DR.

(By Charles H. Williams.) BY CHARLES T. HAMPTON. One of the hardest fought games ever play on the Hampton Institute ground, and played on Thanksgiving Day when Hampton, and Union clashed in their annual game. The day was a perfect one. The biggest crowd of the season we on hand. During the first part of the game the visitors were taken off their foot by the aggressive play of Hampton. A field goal was kicked after the first few minutes of play, which was followed by a touchdown ending the first half 9 to 0 in Hamptons favor. In the second half Union came back with a Eighting spirit. During the third quarter Hampton was forced to hold Union for downs three times on the one and two-yard line. A touchdown was finally made by Union, resulting from a 30 yard line. A touchdown was finally made forward pass which was dropped in the field of play, rolling across the goal line and covered by a Union man. It was declared a fumble ball by the officials thus giving Union a touchdown. During the last few minutes of play Union carried the ball within the 5 yard line on a forward pass. It was the play on the atat down on which Union touched touchdown. The Hampton team refused to accept the decision. At this time the crowd surged on the field and became an unmanageable. The unfortunate ending marred one of the cleanest t and most thrilling games of the year. The Hampton-Union game was filled with sensational rumming and pus- ping on both sides. The feature of the game was the wonderful defen- sive playing of the Hampton eleven. Referee: A. K. Savoy; Umpire E. B.

In one of the most thrilling gridron battles ever wounded on Hampton's campus, Va. Union University defeated Hampton Institute in the annual football game on Thanksgiving Day by a score of 13–9. The game was thrilling throughout and thousands of spectators yelled themselves hoarse as the two teams fought for the holiday honors. Hampton was the first to score. By launching an aerial attack in the first quarter the Seahawks completely bewildered the visitors and in the beginning of the second half Malauring Hampton's left half scored a field goal. Shortly in the same moment, Union attempted to munt the kick was blocked by one of his own players and Hampton covered the ball and with one long forward pass and two rushes carried the ball through the Red and steel line for a touchdown. The half ended Hampton 9 Union 0 UNION MAKES BRILLIANT COME BACK Hamptonians went wild with joy they thought that their dream of four years had become a reality and that Union was beaten. A ready made coffin for Union was hauled on the field drawn by a key ready for Union's burial. But Hampton's hopes were thwarted. At the beginning of the last half Union seemed to take on new life Gregory, R. Johnson and Me Gulam ripped off huge gains through Hampton's line at will and at the safe time Shade, Hammonds and Barkshale held Union's kine like a stone wall and R. Jackson and Gregory played an air tight defensive in the backfield and with A. Jackson's punts stretching out 60 and 70 yards the Hamptonians relied on they were beaten. A Jackson caught a long 30 yard pass under the goat but lost it. I when tackled yet Kirby was tackled yet Kirby touched down with C. Jackson firing through Hampton's tackles for telling gains. Captain Waller, center received a 20 yard pass and Gregory carried the pike skin over. Derek Humpon disputed the division of the officials and were reluctant to play the last two minutes that were left numerous Teets issued and spectators the officials were not able to clear the field in order to finish the last two minutes of the game. And the victory was Union's 13-9. MARRIAGE NOTICE On Sunday, November 23th, Mason White and A. Lena Johnson of this city were married in Washington, D. C.

Winning at chance parlor games is the prelude to gambling. A grave yard is a mighty pretty place but most people do not want to go there. Getting money is all right and saving the money that you get is all right too. People who most volubly declare their love are the first ones upon the least provocation to exercise their hate. Some people are so selfish that what they cannot enjoy themselves they destroy in order to keep any one else from enjoying it. Dancing is coming back and it usually causes a loss of money and common sense. Instructors in dancing however have an over-plus in both. Going with the crowd is a popular fact and being swayed by worthless public sentiment is a habit that seems to be on the increase. Thousands of twenty-five dollar people are being buried in two hundred dollar caskets and hundreds of thousand dollar people are being buried in fifty dollar caskets. Others just as noble and just as good are being buried at the public expense in Potter's field. ATTACKING A LEADER. It is indeed unfortunate that the colored people cannot come together and agree upon some concerted line of action. We have been impelled to make this observation, in view of the concerted attacks now being made by our great and good friend, Editor W. Calvin Chase in a recent issue of the Washington Bee in dealing with the alleged weaknesses and failures of Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson who succeeded in scouring a place on the National Republican Committee at the recent nominating convention of the Republican party of the Nation. We do not know the angus mus actuating this prominent advocate of the rights and privileges of the colored people, but we take it that he means well, although he takes a peculiar way of showing it. Editor Chase objects to the selection of a southern citizen of color to lead the colored voters of the North This is drawing sectional lines, which of all races of people, we cannot afford to do. Our frequent visits to the North make it clear to our mind that the bulk of the colored voters of the North are in reality the colored voters, who have migrated from the South. The ablest divines in that section of the country and we might add that some of the most illiterate class may be found in the same section. Editor Chase goes back to Dr. Booker T. Washington's time and he proceeds to cite instances where Hop. Henry Lincoln Johnson did not stand 'four square' in dealing with the civil, social and political rights of the Negro. He seems to fail to unstand and realize that in this respect the two leaders mentioned stood squarely upon the same platform. We admit that Editor Chase has been a power for good in his long advocacy of the rights of his people but what good can be brought about by these staggering assaults? but let us quote the language of this writing coach. He says: The solicitation of Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Lowden $9,000 Georgia Union, to direct colored voters in the North has served to call to memory here Johnson's efforts to prevent colored men from giving a dinner, to the late Booker Washington at the old Arlington Hotel nero. Those familiar with the incidents of that dinner recall that, although Johnson had met with the committee consisting of high government colored officers her and had consented to be one of the dinners, he later went to the White House and attempted to interest Hills, then secretary to President Taft, to prevent the dinner from being given at the Arlington Hotel because that was a white hotel—his argument being that if colored men went to the Arlington for a dinner it would cause friction between whites and colored in Washington. Unknown to Johnson perhaps his statements made to prevent the giving of the dinner at the Arlington, although the proprietor of that hostelry had offered no objection to colored men, were taken down and later sent by Secretary Hills to be read by William H. Lewis, then Assistant Attorney General and others associated with the giving of the dinner. These men replied to Mr. Hills' letter, stating that the proprietor of the Arlington Hotel knew Dr. the Arlington knew Dr. colored, knew that the gentlemen who called to see him to make arrangements for the dinner were colored men, and had not declined to serve them, but on the contrary had offered to serve them in any of the ban and rooms of the Arlington they so needed; and this being true, they had a perfect right as American citizens to go to the Arlington. In spite of Johnson's efforts to keep the dinner from the Arlington, it was given there and the proprietor highly praised the conduct of the man who attended the guests being colored professional and business men of Washington and government officials. Johnson although he had in the outset agreed to be one of the dinners, not only did not attend but it is said never paid his assessment. Colored men in Washington are wondering how a man of this type will please the colored voters in the North as their "director." Editor Chaso says further: Just why Southern colored politicians should no appointed to take charge and run a political bureau for the North, East and West where the colored vote is a political factor is beyond the conception of those voters. Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta, Ga., whose State has never cast a Republican electoral vote since the birth of Adam and Eve has been placed in charge of a 'jim-crow' Republican bureau to solidify the colored vote, while each men as Edward Morris of Chicago; Louis A. Anderson and hundreds of other representative colored Republicans in the State of Illinois have been ignored. Ohio, where some of the strongest colored politicians in the country reside, has not been consulted. New York, where Charles W. Anderson, Ralph W. Singleton, Fred Moore and other political factors have been passed over must now be dictated to by Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia whose State would have the jim-craw if it should even cost an electoral vote for a Republican presidential nominee. It seems to us that this is very dangerous ground upon which our dis tinguished friend has chosen to tread. For fifty years the colored politicians of the South have braved the white caps, the Ku Klux Klan and the Neo-harpers of every type. They have suffered all kinds of humiliations and been subjected to all kinds of ostracisms. During all of these years, colored leaders of the North have aided them with their tongues and their pons and they have protested to the northern white men in behalf of their 'brotheren in bondage.' Now, when the fight waxes hottest an attack is made not only upon Hen. Lincoln Johnson but upon Southern colored politicians. Our distinguished, able and patriotic standard bearer, Senator Warren G. Harding has declared in favor of the obliteration of sectional lines in dealing with the citizens of this country, presumably, he refers primarily to the white citizens. Why should any one of us at this time proceed to draw sectional lines in dealing with the colored citizens? Why should it make any difference as to whether 'Link' Johnson halls from the North, the South, the East or the West? What we desire to know is, whether or not Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson is one of the best men qualified to perform the task assigned to him? If the colored people of the North are to discriminate against the colored people of the South, it means the disruption of the leadership of an oppressed class struggling for civil and political recognition and cannot result other wise than in inimparable injury to cause we love so well. But why comment further? We see no reason why the colored people of this country, commonly called Negroes should not rally under the able leadership of such men as John Q. Adams of Minnesota, R. R. Church of Tennessee, Charles W. Anderson of New York; Henry Lincoln Johnson of Georgia; Edward H. Morris of Illinois; William Monroe Trotter of Massachusetts; W. H. Jernigan of the District of Columbia THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA William H. Lewis at one time of Virginia; Harry C. Smith of Ohio and a host of other prominent leaders we might name without any reference to their geographical location. But why comment further? We have left out of the equation personal rooking and we again call upon the very able journalist to cease this all of attack and stop all movements that will tend to divide us in the face of the Negro-hating element that as persistently seeking our undoing. DOUBLE DEALING IN EUROPE. If the statement of the Washington Post in his issue of the 28th ulti- to be accepted at its face value, then President Woodrow Wilson is one of the most disappointed men this country has ever produced. His disgust with his allied associates must have been apparent and he must have displayed his temper on many occasions during his temporary residence in Paris. Germany was charged with negotiating secret treaties and with having but slight respect for its obligations, but none of these charges were more serious than those contained in the stinging indictment of the Allies by one of the most influen- tial journals in this country. It said: An enormous field of speculation and controversy is revealed by the United States' note to Great Britain, dealing with the disposition of resources in regions taken from the enemy. These regions were parceled out among certain allied powers by secret treaties made during the war and kept from the knowledge of President Wilson until he actually arrived in Paris to negotiate an honorable peace. When it was found necessary to yield to Mr. Wilson's insistent demand for a league of nations, the powers invented the 'mandate' scheme; under which they retained the regions they had already agreed to divide among themselves but under the prateness of receiving them in trust as agents of the league of nations. The league covenant provision dealing with mandates is one of the most obsequent and idealistic in the entire rheapody. It contemplates the government of 'mandated areas' in the interest of the people thereof, and does not make any provision for monopoly or special privilege in favor of the power that accepts the mandate. The responsible power is supposed to report to the league of nations, giving an accounting of its trust. It appears, however, that in actual practice the areas taken over by Great Britain and France contain rich natural resources, while the areas which they have refused to take over have no resources at all. This coincidence has become more striking since the two powers named made an agreement at San Remu virtually providing that each should give the other an equal share of the resources of all areas held by it, but making no provision for nations that sought as allies and associates with them. Thus, the United States and Canada for example are excluded from equal opportunity with Great Britain in the exploitation of the oil resources of Mississippi. But either the United States or Belgium in free to take a mandate over Armenia in which has no oil resources. And again: The United States now notifies the nation that it expects all pow- ers holding mandates to give equal opportunities to all other nations that fought on the allied side, when the time comes to export the resour- ces of regions taken from the enemy. That is a just demand, no doubt, but it will never be effective unless backed by the firmest determination and most complete information. It is not the intention of the British government to share the riches of newly acquired territories. The agreement whereby France gets an equal opportunity would not have been made except for the fact that France was to acquire the oil fields of Mosul under the first secret agreement, representatives of France surrendered her advantages in Mesopotamia for the sake of winning Mr. Lloyd George over to her side in her struggle with Mr. Wilson for possession of the left bank of the Rhine. Great Britain took, over the Mesopotamia region but it, it was subsequently revealed that M. Clemenceau had not signed the secret agreement transferring French rights in Mesopotamia. These rights were revived, and they too on new force by reason of the failure of France to get the Bank. Accordingly Great Britain found it to her advantage to converse with France, which was done at San Remo. All this was brought out in official debate in the French Chamber of teputes Do what of the principle of man matter, under which the regions taken from the enemy were to be govern- ed in the interest of the peoples there? What of the duty of fair play and faithful counsel among the nat- tives themselves up to be the sponsors of the league of nations and the guardians of the world's peace based upon justice? The Post continued: The San Romo agreement divides the snails between two nations, leaving the other allies and the United States with nothing but costal concession of the beauties of the mandate system. Moreover, the San Romo agreement provides that any snails hereafter acquired, from Russia or any other helpless or broken down country shall be divided equally between England and France. If Article XI of the covenant should be invoked it is quite possible that anarchy in Mexico would be followed by the application of the San Romo agreement. Remo agreement in favor of France and England, shutting out all other nations from acquisition of oil from Mexico, except by consent of the new owners. The league assembly at Geneva ha just voted to give jurisdiction of the mandate provisions of the covenant to a junta of nations, the majority of which will not hot man duties. But the two strong nations hold mandates and it will now be of interest to note how soon the weak or powers will find good reasons for yielding to their stronger associates. The powers made responsible for help less powers will be their own judges of their responsibilities and their own masters in disposing of the riches of the mandate regions. They have begun their task in duplicity and rapacity. They have made a mockery of the fair phrases of the covenant in this particular, as in so many others. The present administration in the United States is handcapped in entering protests against the operation of the covenant, because it is responsible for the covenant. The next ad ministration will be under no such handle. The United States is not bound by the mandate scheme. It is not required to recognize the right of Great Britain to hold Mesopotamia or any other territory lately under an enemy flag. This is a fact that will probably become more and more significant as time goes on. The war is ended, but the controversies awakened over this war have just begun. President Harding is a statesman and to those cabinet officers that he shall associate with him will be delegated the task of unraveling and settling one of the most embarrassing diplomatic situations that has ever confronted this or any other country.

During the week of December 6 (1), the Richmond Health Bureau will conduct an intensive campaign to kill all rats in the city. This week will be known as KILL THE RAT WEEK. There are, according to authorities in the city over 200,000 rats. Each rat catts about $3.00 worth of feed per year. They cost the city from $500,000 to $600,000 per year. They also destroy property in like proportion. Worst of all, they spread bubonic plague. Rat prevention can be secured by rat proofing. A bulletin on this subject can be secured on application at the Health Bureau. Rat extermination is accomplished by either of the two following methods: (1) Trapping. (2) Poisoning. Of the two we believe the poisoning method to be the best. The best rat poison, Barium Carbonate, can be secured from the Health Bureau, Room 409 City Hall on application with full directions as to its use FREE OF CHARGE. Your personal effort. In your home stores or office to rid it from rats and also your cooperation is requested during this very important campaign.
