LITTLE COUNTRIES IN PERIL
Nearly 1,000,000 men in Belgium and Holland have been
mobilized because of fears that the Germans were about to
invade their territory. The Germans will no doubt^UhwrtF
this move us an exhibition of. necjjJiiw^BBffigrfe alter the
things^the Gei1nian^,d^'',n fy\4 when they marched their
5-rmtes over the border into neutral Belgium, which
asked only the privilege of living a quiet and peaceful life,
these little countries do not take some promises very seri-
ously. ~
Times are hard #for the, littje countries. Little Finland
asked only for the privilege of living its own quiet life. Now
mighty Russia is cruelly bombing the Finftjph cities, und
bringing death and* destruction to innocent and harmless
people.. The world rises in shocked protest. '
tittle Countries used to fuel a certain degree ■«>f security
in the promises that'were made to them by the more power-
ful" nations/ It was not thought that any great country
would want the word to go out that it was not willing to
adhere to it<s treaties of peace. Nowadays when sofne of
these countries see anything they want, they reach out and
take it, if they think they can get it without costing them
too heavily.
So the world waits almost breathless to see if mighty
Genmany is going to disregard Igws and treaties, and march
its men over into Holland ajid Belgium. Probably its gov-
ernment would like to do so. It would put their airplanes
nenrer the English coasts, and-make possible bombing raids
that are now carried out with difficulty.
The world will some day react from the sickening horror
of those days. If the people of Germany and Russia could

THE STORY OF

of his hole- to observe the weather. If he sees his shadow, he

Most of these notions originated in the days before news-

People spend many hours of
their time in used cars. As
a matter of fact, everybody

Gar Scales As Arrow Heads.
The fact that Indians
formerly made good use of
the scales Of garfish -ps ar-
rowhead^ was recalled re-
cently when two scales,
shaped like arrowheads,
were ' received by Ihtta-Gafne
Department’s chief aquatic
biologist. from a Texan who
had found fjfteen of them in
the stomach of a three-pound
catfish. He believed thettt to
be arrowheads. However,
they were gar scales which
had been worn down to the
extent that they were shaped
lil^e arrowheads. Gar scales
arg, composed, of c-lptin, a
Bitbstanee -. similar to" that

able.
Orders for the prepared
rat bait have been comfpg in-
to" the eobnty agricultural
agent’s office quantities
every day. It seem that
every ^"one is cooperating,
recognizing the fact that
these rats are a community
problem ami they must be
made war on by every one
alike.
The .ba.it has been dis-
tributed in every community-
in the county. The baits
khonid be- exposed ■» before

will be fresh and"that rats
may be .banqueted that night
wherever they may be. Baits
not called for by 5:00 o’clock,
the expiring itme, will be
distriHlitCd to . anyone who
may wish them.
- In- addition to using the
poisoned bait, everyone in
the county is urged to use
every other possible means
of getting rid of rats, such
as trapping, holding neigh-
borhood rat hunts, and tear-
