HALF A BILLION LOST IN FOOD.
Five hundred million dollars may b"
a trifle, now. that we have not liKNl to
thinking in terms of billions. Still.
such a sum is not to be sneezed at. it
means about :25 for every family in
this country. and it is what we have
lost this year inlt‘ood alone from the
nefarious work of rodents.
The department of agriculture sub

tlu- depredations of common rats and

the work of ground squirrels. rabbits.

A general campaign of education is
to be undertaken by government on ‘
result. in every state there will be
. propaganda intended to wake up the
public to the Hunnlsh propensities of
these domestic enemies. 'l‘helr chls
operations are not to be tolerated. at
a time when the world is so short ot
food. It is recognized. too. that they
cause enormous losses through their
destruction of other forms of property.

AIRPLANE STUNTS.
it is uood to note that inc low-flying
Fttlulb ond show acrobatics in and
around cities and towns which have
characterized most military aerial dis-
play: are forbidden under heavy pen-
ultiot-t by the war department. Many
unnecessary accidents have been the
result of these ilicalculated efforts to
amuse. and it was time they were
stopped. before any more hare—brained
young lads or innocent by-standers had
to pay with their lives for the exhibi-
tion.
Properly handled. the airplnnt- is
safe and practical enough. in thc
hands of ignorant or toolhardv, pilot
it is an engine bound to deal death
and dcstrut'tion. Pcrhaps it is natural
for the young aviator intoxicated with
the marvel of flight to show his prom
cs.» by dangerous and spectacular
tricks. but they are out of place in
any sort of firing. and should be, for-
'hidden by Cli‘ll as well as military
law. '
