ohio's Two-Cent Law.


That the reduced fare has in
creased passenger traffic there is
little question. One railroad off.
cial says that while the summer
eXcursions on his line are not as
well patronized as in former years,
more people are riding on the
straight two-cent rate and prefer
to travel in this way rather than
suffer the Inconvenience of a
crowded excursion train. In fact,
as far as The Blade knows, the
railroads are we'll pleased with
the two-cent law, and there is a
question if they would want to go
back to the old order of things.
The railroads of the country are
sharing remarkably we'll in the
great prosperity of the country,
For May ninety-three roads show
an average net increase of 1912
per cent, and for eleven months
of 1872 per cent. Thirty-two
roads for the second week of July
show an average gross increase in
earnings of 1916 per cent. To
talk of confstication of property
under a two-cent rate of fare is
ridiculous in the face of the bust
ness the country is doing, and the
Ohio roads are proving the fallacy
of such an argument.

The Champaign Democrat says ;
The political fight in Ohio, this
year, Will be along much the same
lines as last year. The Republican
bosses are again asserting their
dictatorial power. The bosses,
headed by Boss Dick, are again in
control of the Republican organi-
zstion, and no Republican dare ap-
ply for nomination or an Office
unless he has the o. X. mark of
the bosses on him. The Demo
cratic party and the independent
Republicans will wage another
fight against the thralldom of the
despots who rule the Republican
party and the State with an iron
hand. The verdict of last year
must be repeated with emphasis
before the bosses will loosen their
grip on the State of Ohio.

unless 1t was so amended as to make
such statement he would appear in the
convention when 1t assembled and
county local option was matter dear
to the heart of Governor Pattison and
he believed that the party ought to
approve it also on general democratic
policy as it was majority rule and
therefore strict democratic doctrine.
Efforts were made to bring about
some sort of compromise but after
four hours discussion the committee.
by vote of 10 to l, one member be-

prepared by the subcommittee.

of flies have long been attributed to
Il volatile temperament and gluttony.
Yet scientists have recently learned
that the squirmfng and gorging an
tics of the fly are things he should not
always be blamed for. When fly
keeps running up and down your nose,
it, perhaps, is not because he has any
special grudge against your face, but
because he is tOrmented by the red
mite, which makes the fly its prey.
This little parasite plants itself on the
fy's body, where the legs are attach
ed,and at the joints in the armor, as it
were, it sucks the juices of the fy's
flesh. And when a fly feeds interim
nably on the edge of saucer OF hon
ey, it is most likely because it has
worms that eat all it eats. Worms
have been taken out of flies which,
when unrOlled, were fully three inches
long.

Poisoning Cut Worms.

The Oklahoma Experiment Station
has just sent out press bulletin No.
I3I. From it we quote a recipe for
poisoning cut-wormS which we think
our readers may find useful, especi-
ally as it is also said to be good for
grasshoppers:
Further experiments in poisoning
cutworms, which have been working
of wheat bran, make moist, but not
following mixture TO be superior to
spraying with Paris green, as for
merly recommended:
Thoroughly mix while dry, one
pound of Paris Green and fifty pounds
of wheat bran, makemoist, but not
sloppy, by adding water in which a
quart of cheap molasses has been
dissolved Place this mixture in
spoonful piles where the worms are
working. 1t attracts the worms from
the wheat and oats. 1t is also a good
grass-hopper poison.

The Dangerous Flies.

few think of them as a real danger to
health, when allowed to enter the
houses Yet they are that and more.
The following article from the New
York Tribune gives some interesting
information on the subject:
Yet. whatever the house fly may
think about it, the time has come, ac
cording to many medical men, when
themusca domeStica. as they call the
insect. must be banished from the
Iab0des of men. 1t has been found to
be not only a nuisance but Il menace
to mans health. Its hairy body car
ries both disease and death. Many
epidemics which sweep over cOmmunl-
ties in the hot season have been traced
it brings with it the bacteria which
breed i'll filth. And as it moves about
now crawling over refuse, now over
the food of the table, flying from the
rips of the sick to the lips of the heal
thy, it is said to be more dangerous to
modern society than were the wild
/ beasts to primitive man.
An illustration of how the house fly
may disseminate the germs of cholera
was shown not long ago in a Manila
prison. This disease had been caus-
ing the death of two to five cOnvicts a
day. Neither the water nor the foods
were infected, as had been proven by
careful examination. Finally, the sur
geons suspected the flies, and accord
cautions to prevent them from reach
ing any infectious material in the pris-
on. They also kept them from the
foods. All the windows and doors
were screened, and hypaper was used
in large quantities to catch occasional
intruders. The epidemic promptly
ended.
The high mortality among children
in the congested districts of a city,
where families are closely crowded to-
gether, where refuse accumulates and
IOOu - oIlcI kclbl III lNlnS
rooms, is due, to a large degree, so
scientists now say, to the fly. Infant
diseases chiefly prevail in the hot sea-
son, when the flies abound DIR. j. T. |
C.. Nash, in the Journal of the Rural |
Sanitary Institute, giving his expert |
ence an English health officer says |
that the fly is responsible for the death |
of many children because of polluting
the milk which they drink The fly !
is especially fond of milk, and plants |
bacteria in it, which breed rapidly. !
Milk is thus infected, not only in city |
homes, where it is exposed but at |
ms before it is brought to the city |
Practically all dairymen keep horses, !
and most times the horse stables are |
near the COW barns. In this way the |
flies breeding in the stables fly almost |
directly to the milk. Unless special |
precautions are taken flies Oh a farm
may also transfer typhoid germs to the |
milk from cesspools and earth vaults.

much by an army as the guns of an !
enemy. Unless a camp is properly |

visiting company announces that he is
in bit of trouble and wants word
of advice. 1t is we'll on into the after
noon when this little council-of-war,
or peace, as the case may be, is over

A wall comes from the barn now.
One of the younger boys has been
experimenting with the feed-cutter.
He has succeeded so we'll that he has
left part of one thumb between the
cogs of the treacherous gearing of
the machine Hastily the odd horse
is hitched up and away the mother
and the boy drive to find the doctor.
Meanwhile the farmer does what he
ought to have done long time ago;
or rather what the manufacturers
ought to have done for him when the
feed-cutter was made, puts a covering
of heavy zinc over the gearing, so that
no other thumbs may go the same
stick in the memory of the boy that
had the honor of breaking it up as
long as he lives.
But now the cows come trooping
along the lane. They know nothing
about the loneliness of the day, and
have been going on their way un-
troubled by any of the annoyances
that come to us "civilized" beings.
They only know that their udders ache
from the pressure of milk and we
must relieve them as soon as we can.
The sun is well down out of sight
behind the hills when the monotony
ceases, and we go in to lie down and
sleep once more.
But this is an unusual day? Yes.
There are "off days" on the farm,
just as there are anywhere. Days
when everything seems to go wrong;
but sandwiched in between there are
days that are as bright and as sun
shiny as the fairest June morning.
But the loneliness? Oh, it is not here,

chenS are not screened, and the sinks
and food receptacles kept perfectly
free from flies, fatal epidemics are
likely to break ont. The large death
rateamOng the American troops in 1S-
9S was due, it is now believed, to the
fly. Surgeon General Sternberg realiz-
e1 the danger of flies feeding in camps,
and as early as April he issued Il cir
cUld' in which he emphasized it. His
instructions. however, were largely
ignored, with the result that over
iWenty-one per cent. of the soldiers
in the encampment that summer had
typhoid, and over eighty per cent. of
the dea tbs that year were from one
cause.
The fly, however, should not be eX-

The fly has indeed right to disport

of the atmosphere in which it floats
