THE HIGH COHT OF HATH,
It cost New York City .36,000,
000 a year to feed Ita rata, says Dr.
Victor G. 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.

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

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.

spending his vacation visiting with
his purents, Mr. and Mrs. L. B.

morning to Portland, where he is

A STKANUK VOICE.
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.
Prepare to do It this fall before the rains fill the wood with

"Well, what did you say?' I ask'
ed.
"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."
