The above is the caption of a poster announcing the picnic given at Oakdale yesterday. It does tint ' mean that the people gathered to kill or devour rats, but it was the culmination of n plan devised by / the Oakdale Community Service League to rid the community of pestiferous rodents and a jollifi cation over and celebration of what had been accomplished. The com munity was divided into two squadß—the "Terriers" and the "Swatters," who contested for the prize, the prize going to the side destroying the greater number and the person killing the greatest number and bringing the tails as evidence of good faith. No one was specially detailed to do any special duty, but it was the busi ness of everyone to detail rats. A few days ago the contestants got together to compare notes and arrange for the occasion—the "rat killing picnic." It had been agreed that the loser should give a pic nic, but it was found that the num ber killed by the two contestants was less than 50 apart, so they joined hands in . the celebration. The total number killed was 2,075, the greater number being killed by the "Terriers," and Albert Smith killing the greates number—262. There was a nearly all-day oc casion. Speaking came first by good and entertaining speakers ; dinner—a good one with all sorts of good things; baseball between old and young swatters; games for children; ana music all day by a good band.
