RAT CAMPAIGN
IS LfflCHED
Mayor Straw Bills City With
Dodgers Setting Forth
Need of Action.
GOOD UVB LITTLE HAT, GOOD
m urn.
(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."
