Wonderful Discovery
KiHs Rats Like Magic
Non-Poisonous Virus Destroys Rats,
Mice and Gophers in a Week's
Time—Harmless to Farm Ani
mals and Humans
No longer has any farmer reason to
fear losses from rats, mice and go
phers. As a result of a wonderful
discovery by Dr. E. R. Alexander,
noted bacteriologist of Kansas City,
Mo., these dangerous and destructive
pests are easily killed off in less than
a week's time. Alexander Rat-Killer
Virus, as this wonderful discovery is
known, is not a poison. Although ab
solutely deadly to all rats, mice and
gophers, it can be eaten freely by
hogs, cattle, poultry or any other farm
animal without harm. Human beings
can eat it with no injurious effect.
Doctor Alexander's wonderful virus
works like magic. In only a' few days
not a rat is left alive on your place.
E. J. Renick, Leeds, Mo., says:
"Alexander Rat-Killer has certainly
killed off the rats around here. We
have always lost considerable poultry
and grain from rats and now we are
unable to see either rats or mice. I
intend to recommend Alexander Rat
Killer to my neighbors."
Simply mix the virus with bread or
meat scraps and place where rats,
mice or gophers can get it. In a few
hours after a rat has eaten the virus
he gets a terrible fever and leaves the
buildings to get the fresh air of the
open fields. Rats and mice thus af
fected-always die far from buildings
and leave no bad odor. It is a scien
tific fact that one rat affects others,
and soon whole colonies are wiped out
at a time.
So confident is Dr. Alexander that this
wonderful Bat-Killer Virus will kill every rat,
mouse and gopher on your farm in one week's
time or less, that he agrees to Bend, as an in
troductory offer to readers of this paper, a big
$2 tube of virus for only $1. Use according
to the Bimple directions and if in one week's
time you are able to discover any rats, mice or
gophers, your money will be refunded. A big
Kansas City bank says Dr. Alexander is re
liable and will do as he agrees.
DON'T SEND A PENNY. Simply write
today—a postcard will do—to E. R. Alexander,
Alexander Laboratories, 830 Gateway Station,
Kansas City, Mo., and the big $2 tube of virus
will be mailed at once. When it arrives, pay
the postman $1 and a few cents postage, on
the guarantee that if not absolutely satisfac
tory you get your money back. This is a real
opportunity to get rid of rats, mice and
gophers easily and at little cost. Write to
Doctor Alexander today, and stop the losses
caused by these destructive pests.

Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers
READERS
A
Name
Lets Talk Office Affair^
BY OLIVER S. MORRIS
have noted that we are printing some of the advertising of the
Association of Railway Executives, intended by the transportation cor
porations to convince farmers that rates are not too high at present.
The appearance of theBe ads in the Leader means that the railroads
recognize your paper as a good medium in which to reach the farmers with
their side of the argument. The advertising revenue helps us meet expenses,
and, while we believe the railroad executives' arguments thoroughly unsound,
we did not feel we should deny them the right of free speech. Ads of this kind
often have a bad influence on editors and publishers. In order to get such adver
tisements some publications observe a neutral or friendly attitude toward big
corporations. But the Leader would not have taken this businese if it had been
offered with any strings tied to it, either actual or implied. We deal with the
railroad question in this issue on the editorial pages.
We have arranged with Walter W. Liggett, formerly connected with Non
partisan league headquarters in Minneapolis and North Dakota, but now lo
cated in Washington, D. C., where he corresponds for liberal publications, to
furnish the Leader with some articles on current activities at the national cap
ital. Slis first article, on the Capper-Tincher grain exchange regulation bill,
appears in this issue. We believe you will find his articles informative and en
lightening. The Leader aims, in its Washington correspondence, to give read
ers inside facts that can be obtained in no other farm magazine.
Are you "helping the Leader and the cause of the organized farmers by
patronizing Leader advertisers who have goods to sell? Many big advertisers
in farm journals do not patronize the Leader because they oppose our editorial
policy. You should show those who do use our ad columns to sell goods that
you appreciate their support of an independent farmers' magazine.
Several more of the John Lord articles on deflation and allied subjects are
to come. Mr. Lord has saved some of his best stuff for the concluding chapters.
It is pleasing to the Leader staff that readers, judging from their letters to us,
appreciate these articles, which we went to considerable tronble and expense
to obtain. Don't miss the important installments to be printed in the next
few issues.
The Leader's plan to carry your message to new thousands of farmers
during the next year, especially because 1922 will be marked by important po
litical campaigns in every state, gets a setback every time an old subscriber
fails to renew. Obviously, if we lose an old subscriber for every new subscriber
we obtain, we make no progress in total circulation, and the Leader's and your
power to bring about better conditions does not increase. Renew your expiring
Leader subscription promptly. We want to devote our energy in getting new
farmers to subscribe, instead of having to lose tiitie and money keeping old
subscribers "lined up." No matter how bad off he is, every farmer can spare
$1.50 for a year's Leader subscription.
Baer's cover on this issue is to celebrate Labor Day, which comes this
month. The Leader prides itself on the fact that it is the only farm journal in
the country working for a better understanding and better co-operation be
tween the workers on the farms and in the cities. Much has already been ac
complished in the work of convincing labor of the cities that farmers are not
"profiteers," "greedy capitalists" and "exploiters of labor," and much in con
vincing farmers that labor of the cities is not "red," "bolshevistic" and "un
American." Farmers can make more money out of their products by cutting
out monopoly and profiteering in the market system, without increasing the
price of food to labor of the cities. By the same process things and services
produced in the cities by labor can be cheapened to farmers without lowering
labor's wage. These truths are dawning oq more and more farmers and work
ers every day.
The Leader is six years old this month. Baer and Morris have drawn
suitable cartoons to celebrate our birthday in the next issue.
Now that the harvest is practically over, our circulation department is
expecting even better results from our new plan of appointing a Leader circu
lation representative in every district where the paper circulates.' We as yet
have no agents in some of our most important territory. Will you undertake
to represent us in your locality, or call the blank below to the attention of
someone in your neighborhood who can spare a few hours' time a week? We
pay a liberal commission to agents, but it is for the cause that we are asking
this co-operation of readers. The blank follows:
