(Softly and lowly Tuno of "Good Bye, Little Girl, flood Bye.) Good bye, little rat, good bye, No more will you feast on our pie: ( While we're after population. It's not your kind of propagation, So "S2o" ino rout you'll have toi "take. . - - " ' . . Chorus. Wo don't want the bubonic plague, Of that we feel awfully afraid; With our clubs and rat traps, too, We'll go hunting rat for you, So it's skldoo little rat, skidoo. Good byo little lat, good bye, On you big "Doc" Straw has his eye; Ho's a determined sort of man, And for you ho's s'norn the greaf. big can, So hit the grit, rat, .hit tho grit. (Repeat Chorus.) Mayor E. E. Straw officially launched the Marshfleld anti-rat cam paign Thursday morning when he commenced billing the town with dodgers warning residents of the dan ger of contracting bubonic plague from tho rodents. Tho dodger re iterates the fact that tho city will pay five cents for every rat delivered Into Marshal Carter's hands. It also sets forth the manner in which the 1ubonic plague germs can bo carried, as follows: Bubonic plague is a disease of the rat. Tho infection is transmitted by the flea. The flea lives on the rat. If the rat has bubonic plague, the flea becomes infected. If the infected Ilea bites a human being, that person becomes Infected with bubonic plague." Closing, the dodger says: "The rats in San Francisco are known to be infected, and it is not improbable that some of those rats may be brought to Coos Bay. When warm weather comes, tho fleas will uecomo more numerous, and the dan ger of tho spread of bubonic plague will bo great. Therefore, I ask tho people of Marshfleld to earnestly co operate with tho city council In the work of exterminating the rats. It Is your duty to trap and poison rats; to have your premises inspected and obey the sanitary laws of the city. You should use every means possible for destroying the food supply of rats. "E. E. STRAW, Mayor." NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.
