Helslur, of the Rockefeller Foundation. Dr. Helsler has recent ly been In Central and South America studying the relation of rats to bu bonic plague, and aaya that the two go together. Wherever there la ft case of plague, a rat will ba found lu the celling, tu the floor or wull near the bed of the sufferer. The mini mum cost of a rat's food Is 5 cents a day. This runs to $18 a year. To make the figures very conservative, $10 per rat per year was allowed by those doing the figuring. As there are about 3,600,000 rats in the metropolis, the estimate given above aeema very moderate. A man back In New York from a business trip to Peru said that the city of 1'aila has Just been ordered burned to the ground by the authorities, because of the rats and plague. It la a town of 6000, with more than 1000 build ings. This Is a desperate remedy In deed, and one which no American community would want to bo obliged to consider today on account of the high cost of building. The cost of plague, however, is even greater than the cost of rebuilding an entire town In rat-proof atyle, the Peruvian gov ernment believes. And If the cost of grain and other constituents of the rat's dietary Is figured In, perhaps the rebuilding will be cheap Indeed. Why harbor rntsT In city or coun try they are alike a menace. Now Orleans and San Francisco have been having rat campaigns, and one Is urged for New York. Hat bounties are not advised, because thoy encour age upscrupulous persons to breed rate for the bounty. Not only should the docks of seaport towns be watched, but every farmer, every housesholder, every person In charge of a business block should become in telligent upon the rat question and should know bow to dispose of the rats now Inhabiting such domain, and how to keep thorn out In the fu ture. KXIMIKSS BILLS. Hard upon the award of the $30, 000,000 yearly Increase of pay to the express company comes the an nouncement that the American Rail way Express compuny the present holding company controlled by the government-Ms preparing to aHk the interstate commerce commission lo raise its rales enough lo take cure or this new expenses and then some. The company has already filed appli cation for rate Increases amounting to $72,000,000. With the new wage Item, It will want about $100,000, 000 new revenue a year. Thus does railroad history repeat Itself In the express business. The commerce commission will douhtless grunt all or most of the demand, and the public-may aa well make up Ita mind now to pity more for express aervice, just aa It will for freight and passen ger service. And Jusl aa with the railroads, the public will not grudge the money, If 11 only gets the service which that money ought to com mand. It has been niuny years since the express business has been con ducted satisfactorily. Under federal ' control, assumed In war-time and maintained since, with a prospect of indefinite cnullntiullon, the old dis honesties have moBtly been reformed, and there have been Improvements along the Hues of standardization and simplification, but there hna been far less accommodation and conven ience to patrons than there was un der private operations. If good ser vice can be combined with honest Forvlce, the public will be content. Otherwise there will be merciless criticism. Tb,o public Is willing to pay for whnt It gel a. btit It Is begin ning to Insist morn than It has for years on gelling what It pays tor. V'Ht'.D (iOOl) J 1 IX i MIC NT. The almost unanimous division of tho atockholdera of the Host-burr. Park and Fair association to sell their holdings cast of the city known aa the fair grounds, to the stute, the tract to be converted lino a model farm, meets the aepruY.il of crcry citlzen of Koseburg and lsuuglu couuty who appreciates a step for ward In tho advancement of those enterprises that materially affect the upbuilding of the community. It seems a hard mutter to put anylhing over In Koseburg without a concerted action to block the effectiveness of the project, but yesterday's action on the part of a great majority of pro gressive clt liens will probally be the nucleus fur more important events tu the future that concern tho welfare of our citizens. Other cities through out the slate are taking advantaged every possible means to add substan tial improvements and maintain a steady and permanent growth which will redound to the good of all con cerned. Koseburg must not continue to lag further in thla respect, and that Ita citizens are beginning to realize this fart most forcibly Is fully demonstrated by the spirit that la dally gaining momentum to put the old town in Ihe front ranks, along with other progressive communities of the state. It Is time for every body to be a genuine booster hit her ud rood and hard and at no. would add lo lite city s achievements. There's a whole lot to be done and the easiest and most satisfactory way to do It Is through the concerted ae " Uon of every live wire in the eity. AI.I.ILI) NATIONS KfcVIVIXU. News thut the maturing "Anglo- French loan" floated In this country before the United ritules entered the war, will be taken cure of promptly in October, la doubly welcome. American Investors are glad, natur ally, to get their money back. Of more moment than that, however, is the evidence of soundneaB revealed In the finances of Engluud and France. There has never been much doubt of Great lirltaln's ability to pay her purt of the $500,000,0110 own when the lime came, and wha'. doubt there was Is diHsipated by accumulating proof of reviving pros perity in Kugland. France was mor,? doubtful. She bad suffered far more from the war than Great lirltaln. She had counted on a blK cash indemnity from Germany to meet such payments, and Germany so fur has paid France no cash. In deed, France has been obliged to send money to Germany for coal and other materials necessary for Flench Industry. It is a pleasant surprise, then, to learn that France Is ready with the iiiotity to pay off these bonds. lteconstructlon has evidently gone much further In France than Anierlcuns thought possible. The same Indomituble spirit thut fought back the Germans has been applied, after only a little faltering, to the immense task of restoring French induslry and Irado and moetlng the obligations left by the war. Belgium nas done even better, and ltnly Is making good progress. All of the illied powers that Americans thought utterly exhausted by the war have shown amazing powers of re cuperation, and on the whole have tackled the problems of peace more creditably and courageously than America has.

Now and then some new discovery or achievement Is proclaimed which uiukes one wonder whether our zeul for efficiency does not carry us too far along new lines. It hus rec utly been announced that English forest er have learned how lo grow square trees. They are not yet being grown on a profllable commerciul scale, but ttiut is supposed to come in time. These trees have trunks 30 Inch 's wide by two Inches thick and resem ble artificially cut out boards more than they do trees. Experiments are said lo.huve shown that by a slinpl ) jut well-Ulrecied bruise, a tree trunk can be madu to grow in any deslredJ direction, stopping Its growth in other directions. The school of for estry at Cambridge, England, has produced another queeiiy shaped tr aitli a round table top of bcau lifully paliflnifd wood, said to be very much harder than the normal wood would have been, uud the tree grew much more quickly after Ita skillful bruising than before. A for est of trees with twosby-thlrty-inch trunks might be very fine for a lumber company, but would It not seem a deformed thing to the nature lover? However, the nature-lover probably need not worry too much about this discovery, for there are not enough schools of forestry In the world to flatten out all the trees that grow.

Miss Parker came rushing In and as she did she glanced at me ex pectantly. Evidently she thought 1 had been asleep and was hoping that the bell would not awaken me. With great effort 1 kept myself quiet and Miss Parker went to the phone. I beard her speaking very low. "Yea, this Is Mrs. Gordon's resi dence Miss Parker speaking. The baby Is not very well and I am sitting up with her." There was a silence and I knew she was listen In to the voice at the other end of the wire. "Mrs. Gordon has just gone to Bleep and unless It Is very Import ant, I would rather not awaken her." Again there was a silence and I heard Miss Parker say, "Ob, I didn't recognlre your voice." "It must be Alice," I said to my fearsome soul. "I don't bear you." said Miss Par ker and then I heard her exclaim. "Oh, they've cut us off." In a moment the bell rang again and I heard Miss Parker make that absolutely inane exclamation which almost everyone makes on such oc casions at such a time, "They've cut us off." ) I could stand it no longer. "Walt a minute, Miss Parker, whom are you talking to?" I asked. "With Mrs. Staunton," she said. "What is Alice calling me up for at this lime otf night. It must be very late. Isn't It?" "As I walked toward the phone Miss Parker said into it: "I was talking to Mrs. Gordon." "Here, I'll talk to Alice." I said and I took the receiver from her hand. "Is that you. Katherlne?' "Yes, yes, this is Katherlne, who la speaking?" "It's Alice." "Something must be the matter with tho phone, your voice sounds so strangely, I did not recognise it. Whats the matter?" I could hear Alice's sons at the other end of the wire. "What Is the matter?" I exclaimed. "Has something happened to Tom?" "N'o, no,' said Alice, "Tom's all right." "Whnt la It, Alice, tell me." I Implored, aa she did not answer. "There has been an automobile accident, Katherlne. I just got the word a minute aso. Its a terrible accident and and " "And John Is dead?" said a strange voice. "Here! here! Get off the wire please, I am talkln to Mrs. Staun ton," I said. . "Yes. yes, Katherlne, I'm here," said Alice. 4 To Our Customers: The only way to paint economically Is to FORGET GALLON PRICE and figure cost by area cover and years of life. SWP covers one-third more area than paints which are oheaper per gallon. It lasts twice aa long without re-painting, so re quires half the material and labor costs. On that basis, SWP Is the cheapest-per-gallon outside paint you could buy. SWP Is tho best prepared house paint. That la why we sell It Now is the time to consult us about your house painting.

"I said there had been a terrible accident." "But some one (aid that John was dead." "You said It yourself, Katherlne dear, you Interrupted me when I said that there had been an accl dent. You seemed to know that something had happened to John. "I didn't say that, Alice. It waa not my voice." - I' Yes, you did dearest, and It was your voice, hoarse with horror.' "But la It true? Oh, it can't be true. Has John been hurt? Are they taking him to a hospital? Tell them to bring him here. Why don't you speak?" "Here, let me take the message, Mrs. Gordon,' said Miss Parker, who had been standing by. "I'm afraid you do not understand." I gave the receiver to her and said, "I'm sure I do not under stand. All I can get is that Alice seems to think that John has been hurt In an automobile accident." Miss Parker took up the conver salion and said, "It Is I, Mrs. Staunton. Mrs. Gordon doesn't seem quite to understand your mes sage. Let me have it." It seemed to me that she was waiting there 'roc long minutes before she turned to me slowly, as she hung up the re ceiver and said: "Mrs. Staunton Is coming right over."
