A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for
three years was less than his
loss *t this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Owner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
loss?
Any person wishing to build
can secure a fine residential or
business lot in Cordova from us
on exceptionally liberal terms.
Five hundred lots hated.

elf as if by instinct to the of a
regimental pet, that is, it ate much
as it could of the men’s ratio . took
the warmest corner availai , and
quit work.
Finally the battalion staff field a
war council, and dispatched cc Bof its
number to London to bring bac k three
or four good ferrets.
In the trenches, the ferrejs were
j j an object of great interest. Private
. Thomas Merryfield emerged from ob
, curity and was assigned to take
charge of the newcomers. From that
day forward he was knowh to the

emy that had been stealing #ood of
the tables, running over (officer’]
faces at night, chewing even tfce laces
from men’s boots.
The ferrets and their “O. C. >’ pul
up some great hunts. There were mo
ments of great excitement when the
rats bolted wholesale before the new
attack and were clubbed to death in
the trench by the enthusiastic men.
There were also moments of breath
less anxiety, when one of the precious
ferrets emerged from a bolt hole
somewhere below the barbed wire and
was reported steering for the Ger
man trenches. One day Merryfield
won the censure of the authorities and
the enthusiastic approval and praise!
of his comrades by retrieving a lost j
ferret from No-Man’s Land in daylight j
and under fire.
Little by little the art of rat hunt
ing was learned by the whole battal
ion. Men became wise in ferret lore,
cunning in interpreting the noises of
an underground struggle between the
antagonists. The rats have ever since
given that auction of the battle zone a
wide berth and the fame of the win- J
ter’s successful anti-rat offensive is
known to all the army.
