In this land and throughout the
world we are permitting rats tn de-
stroy property and endanger human
life. The word permit" is the only
one to use, for rats and mice could be
got rid of if il concerted, persistent eff
fort were made.
Let him who doubts this possibility
inquire about the passenger pigeon
which, within 60 years, Inhabited this
country In such numbers as to actually
darken the face Of day in its flights
and Of which, not one specimen o
remains.
1t was easier to destroy these birds
than it would be to destroy rats and
mice, but the possibility of the one
achievement jusHties belief in that Of
the other. And there can be no doubt
ing the need for this destruction.
1t has been figured by experts that
we have at least one rat for each OF

KANSAS CITY, July 6-The only
apprehension expressed here as to
the effect of the shopmen's strike Is
that 1T may result in a shortage Of
freight cars to move the wheat crop.
There normally is a shortage of cars
and protracted strike would aggra-
rate this by taking out of service
cars that normally are repaired with
out serious loss of time. Railroad
officials express confidence that they
will be able to handle normal grain
shipments Any tie-up in the crop
movement would have a decidedly ad-
verse effect on general business In
this section.
With marketing of the first wheat,
buying has increased in the rural dis
trtcts, especially in implement lines.

Heavy Auto Touring Gives
Impulse to Better Trade
BY PAUL c. HEDRICK
pecial Dispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispa tch TO The Star.
SEATTLE. July 6.-The four big
corporations shipping gasoline and
iubricating oil to Puget Sound from
California are now operating their
tankers at full fleet capacity for the
hrst time this year. This increased
activity has been necessitated in or
der to meet the demands created by
heavy motor touring in this section.
Distribution Of these shipments to
service stations is taxing facilities to
the utmost. Dealers in automobile
accessories. hotel keepers, restaurant
ers and retail merchants, all are feel
ing the impulse of better business.
Motion picture theaters. however, are
becoming deserted as the patrons
turn to outdoor amusements.
The seasonal slowing down in lum-
ber production has been intensified
by menacing forest fires in the foot
hills and in the green timber holdings
on the higher ranges. This has not
affected retail merchandising through
out the district, however. Rainless
weeks in the wheat belt of the inland
empire have led authorities to predict
a wheat crop totaling about 60 per
cent of last years banner production
of 60,000,000 bushels.
Only favored regions will harvest
normal crops, although some locali-
ties. where planting was late, may
benefit by rains this month. The SUM-
burned valleys of western Washing
ton are responsible for a heavy re-
duction in the production of butter
price of milk and cream, as they are
compelled to feed hay and grain to
their cattle instead of letting them
