Clearly, we needed a new chief mouser, and Larry was selected by then-prime minister David Cameron from Battersea Dog & Cats Home, one of Brit- ain’s most beloved rescue centers. His occupancy through several prime ministers works in his favor when it comes to popularity. A study performed at the Uni- versity of Manchester revealed, perhaps unsurprisingly, that the British public tends to be fonder of the Chief Mousers appointed by prime ministers they support. In the study, participants were shown a picture of the mouser appointed by Thatcher and either told the truth or that he belonged to Tony Blair. You can guess the outcome: Tories liked Humphrey much more when they were told he belonged to Thatcher and Labour voters preferred him when told he was Blair’s. The lesson here is to turn down appointment as chief mouser unless you have confidence in the human occupying Number 10. Due to his clever timing, Larry is by far the most popular Chief Mouser we’ve ever had, at least in terms of news coverage. He has also developed a name for himself as a bare-knuckle scrap- per. He’s only ever accepted the presence of one other cat on Down- ing Street: Freya, who moved in next door after being reunited with then-Chancellor George Osborne. She’d got herself lost some months before and her time on the streets had made her hard as nails, which Larry appeared to respect – at least enough to permit Freya to take on partial mousing responsibilities. But in 2016, a new cat moved into the Foreign Office, and the war began. Palmerston was, is and shall always be the arch nemesis of Britain’s foremost rat-ridder.

These treatments total 235 actual treated acres which have cov- ered and protected roughly 7200 acres of lands within the county. The district will continue to treat leafy spurge the remainder of the summer and into the fall. The District would like to extend an apology to all land- owners who were planning on getting leafy spurge bio- control beetles from us this year. Our beetle suppliers had other matters to attend during collection time, and were not able to provide any beetles this year. We have not been able to find any other suppliers at this point, which likely means there will not be any. Once again we are very sorry for this inconvenience, and will have the bio-control beetles again next year. Lastly, the district would like to invite everyone to a “Leafy We are now Spurge Field Day” on August 16 starting at 9 a.m. and run- offering classes ning through the afternoon.
