NeY York, Sept. Hope of a series of games between the tego New York teams was revived today by the news that Frank Farrell, owner of the Aperican League team, had gone to Chicago to confer with John T- Brush, owner of the Giants. The fans are now clamoring for the games and both Magnate Farrell and Man ager Stallings of the iIighlandeBs are keen" for the contests. The rulers of the Giants. however, have shown no disposition to measure strength with the Eigh1apders and have sought to escape on the theory that the old CT team would have everything to lose and nothing to gain from such a. series. The two New York teams are in third place in their respective leagues and a series between them. it is pradicted, would be as Pepnuner- ativel as the series for the worlds cha ampjonship.

porous farmers of Falls City,
Nebraska, arrived in Canyon the
last of last week, making a short
business trip and visiting some
of his old neighbors southeast of
Canyon a few miles until Tues
day afternoon when he left on
the evening train for home.
Mr.. Finck was agreeably sur
prised at the appearance of the
country and crops. They are in
better condition than reports
have been having them. The
weather condition have been
ideal for harvesting and curing
of both alfalf and grain crops
which necessarily requires g
warm, drying atmosphere which
has been the case the past month
or more. After drive in the

The Green Country Brakeman Who In

Many years ago a green country boy
applied to the superintendent of a
western railway for work and, some
what against the superintendent
wish, on account of the danger to life
and limb attendant upon such occupa-
ton, was given a place as brakeman
Of freight train.
On one of his first trips it happened
that his train met another freight
train at a station where the sidetrack
was not lonfenough to accommodate
either Of them. The conductors were
debating which train should back up
to point where they could pass when
the new hand ventured to suggest that
neither should back; that they could
pass each other by means of the short
sidetrack if the thing was managed
right
The idea excited a good deal OF
laughter on the part Of the old train
men, but the boy stood his ground.
well, how would you go about it?'
asked one Of the conductors, confident
that the lad would soon find himself
against stump.
The boy took up stick and traced
in the sand diagram to illustrate his
plan.
Good gracious!" said the conductor.
81 believe that will do it!'
And it did do it. Today every train
man in America probably knows how
to saw by two long trains on short
sidetrack, but it is not so generally
known that,the thing was never done
until an inexperienced country boy
who became the manager of great
railway line worked out the problem
for himself.

stop with cleaning up the barn
pard, however. How about that
open privy? Have You ever not
iced that this is a favorite resort
of flies both for feeding and
breeding purposes? If you dc
not have time to build closed
privy now, get some lime the
first time you 60 to town, or
some copperas, and settle the fly
business at that point. A few
boards and a few shovelfuls of
dirt will temporarily make the
vault closed, Attend to this at
once.
What next? Screen your
windows and your doors. If, af-
ter you have taken these pre-
cautions flies still bother, ar
range to kill them on sight Fly
paper is an excellent thing, but
there are oJher ways of killing
them. The old fashioned fly trap
was not bad thing. AS we re
member it, it was made by
spreading piece of bread with
butter and mOlasseS, cutting in
the center a hole about as big as
nickle: then filing a mason
fruit jar with Soapsuds and lay
ing the bread on top of the jar,
butter side down.
One way to kill flies is to take
couble of sheets of thick blot
ting paper cut to tit the bottom
of soap plate. If you put half
an inch of clean sand in the bot
tom of the plae first, it is still
better, as it will then retain
moisture on a hot day Saturate
the paper with water. Sprinkle
over it a little sugar and then
about a quarter of a teaspoonful
of fOrmalin diluted with a spoon
full of water, so that it will spread
all over the paper Put this in
the window where the sun shines
or on the floor, and you will be
surprised how many flies you
will kill in a very short time.
Another fly killer is made by
taking a pound of carbolic acid
crystals and dissolving it by
placing the bottle in hot water,
and while liquid pouring it over
a pound of camphor broken into
bits. This must be securely
bottled and must not be allowed
to come in contact with the skin.
Place an ounce of this over a
spirit lamp, and you will not be
bothered with flies in the room
for very long. Three ounces will
fumigato a thousand cubic feet.
Let US carry on a crusade
against this modern Beelzebub
in all our homes. We are
sure it will save a great many
doctor bills. 1t will save human
life and increase home efficiency.
1t is an easy thing to do No
house can be a really delightful
place if it is thick with flies. We
speak of this now, fly time has
come, it is easier to xiii the few
flies that come in the beginning
of the season than to deal with
the hordes that will certainly
come later, if we do not protect
our homes from the modern
