A TALE OF THE TIMES,
Back in 1917 two young men got jobs. 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.

This business of holding public office is certainly beginning
to be a snnp. Senator Stanfield has not been on the job since

SOME PROMISE TO BE USEFUL
Migratory Blackbirds . 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. Tests on pocket gophers
and ground squirrels by these two co-

In California show that chlorine may

these war gases will be compared with
carbon bisulphide for the killing of

Entomologists of the department
have already worked in co-operation
with the War department in testing
various gases on Insect pests of grow

take the place of hydrocyanlc-acld gas

The serious disadvantages of many

than corrosive sublimate, does not cor

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
