One had a position m a war work plant where he earned $90 a week. . His money went fast. He would have 10 pairs of shoes at a time, as he saw footwear that pleased hi? fancy, and when the first sole wore down, he would throw them, away without resoling, though the upper was perfectly good. His money all went in such ways, and he had nothing laid up when the flush times passed The other work would be a temporary thing, JMII5 VIIVH "'""ft" - " " " where he would get no permanent start So he took a job in a ' grocery store at low pay and has gradually worKea up suicu wen, until h in now mnnnirpr for a fair sized business for an absent owner, receiving $32 a week. That fellow now has $400 in the hnnV. The other dav his friend came around, dead broke, and asked him for the loan of $100. A lot of people will hope that he did not get it That story is typical of hundreds of thousands of instances. These young fellows with high pay, the majority of them with no families dependent on them, had the chance of a life time to get a start. That young man on $90 per week should hpvA hnH HAvpml thousands of dollars in the bank when the flush times passed by. He could have done it as easily as not, without denying himself any necessity- But he could not see it tie . proved his incapacity to take responsibility, and naturally a fellow of that kind will have a pretty hard time when the pinch comes. As the old savina- froes. it is not so much what you earn as what you save that makes a man successful, There are plenty of in expensive pleasures which young people can enjoy.. They can use the period before they get married to lay up a reserve that will make all the difference in the world later when they have a family dependent on them. , Wonder if Roseburg is ever going to have a city park for its people? Time and again this subject has been discussed but no definite action taken, i There does nol; seem to be disposition on tho part of those who should take the initiative in this very important enterprise to work out proper plans for carrying out the project Probably after every available site for a city park has been "gobbled up" by private parties a great effort will be put forth to right this injustice-for it is nothing more than a rank injustice that the people of Roseburg are not given the privi lege of enjoying a good city park. Mr. S. D. Evans has been of fering one of the finest city parks in the state in lieu of the city and county building a suitable bridge across the Umpqua. river near the park grounds. The offer is good, sound investment for Roseburg. . A city that does not do something for its people who have no other means of recreation other than roaming the streets during their leisure hours is not living up to the true spirit of the times. Within a very few years Roseburg will have many more people to deal with. There is a substantial growth evident at. this time. It is going to be necessary in the very near future to extend the city limits and take in additional acreage in order to accommodate new people and new homes. It is only good busi ness judgment that some effort be put forth at once to acquire a suitable city park and it looks to the casual observer that trad ing a bridge for the park offered by Mr. Evans is about the best and most business-like proposition that has so far been presented Why not get a little action? The proper handling of the municipal revenue of the city, the adoption of a wise policy of borrowing and of creating public improvements, are among the biggest problems that a community has to face. Some cities in which economically minded taxpay ers are influential adopt a parsimonious policy that hurts .their progress. Treasury watchdogs harnnge the voters and city coun cils on the horror of debt, and get the public so scared that they will not borrow a dollar. They will get along with unsanitary and antiquated school houses, without parks and playgrounds, they will leave their streets so rough that they drive away trade, all because of their fear of municipal debt. A progressive city must expect usually to have considerable debts. . It has to provide the facilities offered by other cities of its class ard a little better if possible' A moderate sized debt is of no more significance to a municipality than the fact that a manufacturer has to hire money to tide him over his rush period. o This business of holding public office is certainly beginning to be a snnp.

Do Damage Amounting to Thousands of Dol lars in Imperial Valley ef Cal iforniaInjure Milo Crop. (Prarond by th Cnltrd Stitea Dprtmtnt ot Agriculture.) Deadly gases that were developed for war purposes are now being tried out by the United States Department of Agriculture as a means tor destroy ing noxious birds, animals, and Insects. Some of them promise to be useful when applied under proper conditions, particularly those that are heavier than air and can be used on burrowing rodents, and possibly subterranean in sects and pests in stored products. , Kill Destructive Birds. The most recent proposal la to use gas to kill destructive birds that con gregate in marshes. In the coming fall the biological survey, In co-opera tion with the chemical warfare serv ice. Is planning to make a trial of the method on blackbirds In the Imperial valley of California. In that region these birds are said to do at least $50,' 000 worth of damage to the milo crop each year. Because of their feeding habits It Is Impossible to destroy these birds with poisoned baits, but, as they roost on the reeds In the mnrshes, it Is thought that they can be killed by a gas cloud at night when the wind Is favorable. The blackbirds are mlgra tory and return to the same places year after year. It Is thought that a big killing in a certain locality will probably free it of the pests for many years. A few other birds in the black blrd-lnfested marshes will be killed tit the same time, but the department be lieves that these local birds will soon reach their normal numbers again. Try Gas on Rodents. ' Arrangements also are being made by the biological survey with the chenv leal warfare service for investigating the possibility of using poison gases on ' such burrowing rodents as rats, prairie dogs, ' ground squirrels, and woodchucks.

The chemical wnrfare serv ice used phosgene on rats in Porto Rico with promising results. Some of these war gases will be compared with carbon bisulphide for the killing of woodchucks and other rodents In their burrows. Entomologists of the department have already worked in co-operation with the War department in testing various gases on Insect pests of grow ing plants and those that Infest stored grain, but It has not yet been found ndvlsnhlo to recommend anything to take the place of hydrocyanlc-acld gas or carbon bisulphide.

Many Minnesota potato growers are Interested In the hot formaldehyde method of treating potato seed be cause It saves time. Is less poisonous than corrosive sublimate, does not cor rode metals, and is effective for both scab and rhltoctontn. The solution Is made by mixing two Tints of 40 per cent formaldehyde to 30 gallons of water. This Is heated to a temperature between 118 degrees F. and 122 degrees F. The potatoes are dipped In the solution for two minutes and then dumped In a pile and cov ered with a canvas cover or aarka f. one hour. They can then be dried or cut and planted Immediately.
