Closed for the Season.

held every summer for the last ten
years, under the auspices of the W.

interesting exercises in G. A. R. hall
on Tuesday afternoon, Sept. s, 1908.
One hundred and fifty one were pres
ent, of whom ninety-fiye were chill
dren, and the others parents and
friends.
There was a delightful programme
consisting of music and recitations by
the children, and interesting talks by
Mrs. L. w. Weston, president of the
union, Mrs. Lena Hill Taylor of Long
meadow, Mass, and Miss Ethel Hay
wood of Portage, the latter showing a
collection OF dolls from foreign coun

children.
Reports of the Sewing school were

Over one hundred girls were pres
ent during the summer and fourteen
were present every session. These
were given a little remembrance for
their faithfuIness. Cake and ice cream
were served by the older girls of the
school.
Perhaps not all Of the mothers in

instruction than sewing in our sum

ance on patriotism are given, and
made so attractive that the girls do

To Rid a House of Flies.

A good way to rid your house of
flies is to mix in a small watering pot
equal parts of crude petroleum, or if
that is not attainable use kerosene,
and sprinkle all outhouses, barns, gar
bage piles or drains with the mixture.
Then sprinkle the window stills and
wipe off the netting on your screens
with a cloth wet with kerosene, and
YOU will soon see the flies disappear.
This, too, will prevent you with being
bothered with mosquitoes, which are
SO troublesome this year.
Do this quite often during the sum-
mer months, say two or three times a
week.
The kerosene not only drives the
flies away, but when the places where
they breed are sprinkled the eggs will
be destroyed and :the household will
be saved from this miserable pest.
This method has been tried and found
to be Observation-Disclosures Ledger.
