Word is spreading about tbe very
successful campaign against rats
being carried on at the city dock.
Tiie new rodent killer Warfarin is
being used there with remarkable
success.
If every house and building is
included in the extermination cam
paign we should soon be free of
rats. Warfarin can be obtained
from the local drug store with in
structions for its use. It is not ex
pensive or dangerous to domestic
animals or humans, and is a per
fectly safe mode of destruction.
With the imminent closing of the
city dump, and use of a new area,
the north end of town can be rid
of the pests at the same time, if
a concerted effort is made. There
is little use in poisoning one build
ing if the neighboring structure is
not covered as well. If tennants in
the Housing Area work together
thp problem can be licked there, as
well as in the business district,
making the city safe from danger
of disease carried by rats.

SERVE PUBLIC DINNER
A homo cooked dinner, such
as only Seward women can pre
pare is to be served to all and
sundry on Saturday, July 28 at
the Legion Club from 6:30 to
8:30 in the evening.
A variety of foods will be
available to suit the various
tastes of afl the guests. One can
have stuffed cabbage, baked
beans, spaghetti, scalloped pot
atoes with ham, macaroni and
cheese, tossed salad or cole slaw
with three kinds of bread and
coffee, all for $1.00 per plate.
The girls don't know what a
crowd a meal like that will
bring, they have been told, the
place will be swamped.
Legion Auxiliary women and
the Seward Post, American Le
gion are preparing for the Dep
artment convention which will
be held here the first week in
September. This is another way
to raise a little more money to
ward expenses for the big affair.
The straight and narrow path
wouldn’t be so narrow if more
people walked it.
