The government puts the number over 100 million and claims losses reach $200 million a year. Rat drives, combining community gathering and rat killing contests, are urged as a profitable way to reduce the infestations.

Peters urges tax assessor to shoot unlisted dogs

A fragmentary local note ponders fashions and prices with a jokey aside about a 1529 flapper and an antique shop, followed by a stray line about Christmas gifts at a hardware counter in Elgin and a critique of out of town advertising loyalties. The passage ends noting a “waded column” may supply that want of yours.
