Rats Cost Annually Millions of DOL

lars.
T. T.. w. Thorpe, of the staff of
Farm and Fireside, contributes to the
current issue of that periodical a most
interesting article on brain-saving
cribs, bins and granaries. He shows
how fat-proof store houses of ample
capacity can be provided at low cost.
ON the subject of the number of rats
in our country and the amount of
damage they do, Mr.. Thorpe presents
the following facts as a sort of in
PRODUCTION to the specific suggestions
ne gives as to how to build rat-proof
reeeptacles for grain:
"Uncle Sam has never attempted a
reliable rat census, but, taking the
country over, we no doubt have a rat
population of twice or thrice the hun
dred-million mark.
Seme OF cur expert figuring sharps
have arrived at the conclusion By diff
ferept processes of reasoning that a
round hundred million dollars worth
of gIaitf is destroyed annually by rats.
This tidy sum is approximately suiii-
cient to feed and clothe hen for each
man, woman and child OF, our republic
and outlying territory. To put it diff
felently, each family of five could
keep a little flock of five hens in
place of it's allotment of a dozen rats.
The five hens. with the good care US
ually accorded the small flock, could
be counted on to furnish fifty dozen
strictly fresh eggs for the home larder
annually.
Let ne put this big financial pfopo-
sition still differently. Two or three
hundred million chicken-killing, dis
ease-carrying rats cost us an annual
grain tax of five dollars a family III
exterminated and their living turned
over to a halle or a third as many
productive hens. each family, instead
of five-dollar tax, would have an

Elliott, 90 Ogden street, this week
while attending the market of furni-

Friends say of Elliott that he rose
from a $50 a month job at the Me
Donal plant to a $500 a year posi-
ton in less than three years. He will
be placed on commission this fall with
a fair chance of making $4,000 a year.
Elston is engaged to be marred.
A Conquering Crowd.
One of the old tribe of which Ell
lott was a chief during his high school
days grew reminiscent today and ex-
pressed profound wonder that any OF
them ever got through college without
being shot by the militia. He reviewed
the old crowd and found that all had
turned out prosperous or at least are
now in line for prosperity and that
nearly all are professional men.

WEEK IN
REAL ESTATE
WAS NORMAL

Real estate men put the past week
down as a normal one. All were busy,
considering that the dull season is at
hand. THE TIMES story showing the
remarkable development OF residence
roperty in the south end of the town,
where a city is being built within a
city, gave values generally a firmer
tone. To the big dealers there is some
interest in the suit filed in the superior
court yesterday by Attorney Jesse Will
son for a partition of the White estate
in the east end of town. Seventy acres
of desirable factory property are To-
Gated in this tract.
The activity in West Hammond de-
velopment can not be overestimated.
The market there is decidedly bullish.
AS an evidence of the. era of prosperity
which struck that community. the fact
that the Northern Indians Gas and
Electric company has Installed five hum
dred service pipes into as many homes
is quite convincing. VIII Hastings of
the Hastings-Woods firm proved to be
the live wire in this territory from a
selling standpoint.
