These two young ladles, Miss Anna May Wright, and Miss Helen Caldwell started out four and a half years ago with a determination to rid the country of rats, and they have been sue j cessful so far, they estimate, in killing otr me rodents raster than they are multiplying. The Pled Piper, used coaxing methods to rid Hamelin town of its undesirable population. St. Pat rick when he cleaned the snakes out of Ireland, drove them out. The young lady of this generations scorns the coaxing method, and the driving system on rats Is too slow. These modern, and up-to-date young ladies have adopted a much more popular atyle. They poison 'em. "Government ata'.igtlca show that there are on an average two rats for every inhabitant within a city," Miss Wright declared following her arrival mis morning.

Their unusual vocation Is the re sult of their experience in their own home towns in Portsmouth and Norfolk, Va., where rat eradi cation campaigns are held regular ly. After assisting in the work sev eral years, they conceived the idea of operating on a much greater scale, and started out to see the world at the expense of the rats. When they have visited every state and territory of the United States, tliey plan to return home and get Into some business which does not attract ratB. . Miss Wright this morning called upon the health department and city officials, securing their ap proval of the work to be carried on here.

In the words of a reaident of Kodlnk, "Never waa such grnsa known before, so high or ao early. No one ever believed the country could grow ao many berries, nor ao large, before the ash." The Island owes Its climate, aa doea Ireland, to the tropical ocean current which bathea Ita shores. The eastern half of the Jsland la occupied by a forest of spruce, whose trees reach a great aire.

Armenians Have Long Survived Other Races The Armenians have remained unchanged In all vicissitudes and by their cuurnge have preserved until our dnys their nationality, their lan guage and their customs, asserts Herbert Welsh In the New Armenia. The races that the Armenlnns knew In their Infancy have vanished I irom tne face of the earth. Their brothers, the Phrygians, are today only a vague memory. Among the contemporaries of the Armenians, only the Hellenes, the Italiotes and the Guuls hnve survived, not how ever, without undergoing -mnny changes and abandoning mnny of their former customs. Except the Greeks, one must seek the kinsmen of tiie Armenians among the na tions who were brought from the steppes of the North toward the PhoneforFood food or doe. damage amounting to "i" .'e I.K2 each year. Thla means that In Roseburg .there are over 12,000 rata and that the loss occasioned by the presence of these rodents amounts to over J22.0U0 each year.

Astronomical Theories The nnvnl observatory says the belief Is commonly held among natronomera that Mars Is an older plnnet than the earth. The old theory of the origin of the solar sys tem, called the nebulnr hypothesis. was nrst proposed by i.apluce n J hundred or more years ago. Accord ing to his view, the sun was once 1 so large that It extended as for ns the nrhlr of Neptune. In the process of shrinking to Its present slxe It left bits of Itself behind, em-h of which became n plnnet; so that tbe farther out a planet Is. the older It Is. However, there are many ns trnnniuers who do not accept this theory ; several different theories nre now given to explain the origin of the aolnr system. : PEOPLES SUPPLY CO.
