Get After the Files. H.
With the warm days flies multiply
amazingly. Now is the time to at
tack them and prevent the breeding
of millions from the few hundreds that
already exist.
Perhaps the most effective method
of destroying flies is by burning
pyrethrum in each room. This stuns
the flies and they can be swept up and
burned.
Flies are dangerous carriers of dis
ease and an enemy OF humankind. Do
your part toward keeping down the
pest and improving the health of your
community.

DRY GOODS MARKET
STILL VERY FIRM

New York, January 1.-The cotton
goods market closed very firm at top
prices for the year. The storm interfer-
ed with trading, yet the demand of con-
verters, jobbers and others was steady
and bids fair to broaden materially. Job
bers' clearance sales brought many re-
tailers to the market The feature of
business as a whole is the volume Of adj
vance business that is now being charged
and the disposition to regard the present
high values as workable for the coming
spring season.
The cotton goods market is still below
the parity of cotton. Yarns have been
firm. but generally quiet. Mills cannot
accept prices current for contracts be-
cause they are generally based on H.
cent rather than Decent raw material,
Print cloth yarn goods for printing and
converting are still the active fabrics,
but there was some small business in
denims, working suit fabrics and heavy
drills and sheetings for converting pur-
poses. Ginghams are being well distrl-
buted and bleached cottons hold very
firm.
Prices on cotton goods are as follows,

At the beginning of the Twentieth CEN
fury ten years ago there was a common
belief that human ingenuity had reached
its limit The mind could picture no
fields of scientific research yet undiscov-
cred.
Unprecedented achievements in the
first decade of the new century have ex-
ploded all such belief In the face of
wonderful advances made in the past ten
years we are forced to believe that we
have really only entered upon the era of
the worlds greatest age of invention.
The second decade of the century upon
which we entered Saturday will no doubt
bring to mankind greater things than
were even dreamed of by the Edisons and
Marconis of the past decade.
Some of the things that may be ex-
pected in the present lap of the CEN
fury is trans-oceanic airship passenger
lines.
Summer resorts at the poles of the
earth.
Wireless pocket telephones.
Electrification of trunk line railroads.
Shirts with attached collar buttons.
Pneumatic mail delivery in the homes.
Bureau drawers that will open and
shut
Good roads in the rural districts.
Punctureless automobile tires
Non-explosive gasoline.
Homes without mothers-in-law
Bag proof trousers.

THAT REMINDS ME
Some of the Scientific Announcements That May Be Expected
During the New Decade Which Began Last Saturday

Telephone connections that are not
busy
viaducts and subways at railroad cross
ings.
And,
More pay days in the week.
Another century may accomplish the
settlement of the tariff question.
The prohibition question.
Strife between capital and labor.
Put good men in politics.
Woman suffrage.
And,
Convince Atlanta that she Is not the
only black-eyed bean in the soup bowl.
Verify. there is more genuine religion
in a pone of corn bread sent into the
home of a poor widow than In dozen
fancy balls given in the name of charity.
Good manners dressed in homespun cot
ton is more becoming than the painted
cheeks of vanity attired in Partisan mus
lin.
Behold the happiness of him who is
puffed up in his own personal conceit
but walks on the shady side of the ave-
nue. for fear he will meet his tailor in
the congregation of the people.
And it came to pass that whomsoever
smiled blandy at the strange shopgirl in
the market place, the same was unlxind
and cruel to his wife and without kind
ness in the midst of his children at home.
Woe unto him that gives largely and
loudly in the tabernacle of the congrega-
ton and refuses to allow his office boy
TO attend his uncle's funeral in the midst
of the baseball season. w. H.

FRANK MORRISON
TALKS OF FIGHT

Washington. January 2.-(Special.)-
Frank Morrison, secretary of the Ameri-

active in the preparation of the announce

ut would not, of course, be wise at THIS
time to indicate specifically how the fight
is to be carried on. Two ways, however,
will suggest themselves at once. One Is
the dissolution of the trust by legal pro-
cesses under the Sherman antitrust law.
The other is the Organization of every
employe of the Steel trust. That trust
is at heart opposed to labor organiza-
tons 1t stands for the open shop
you will recall the efforts we made at
the time of the McKees Rocks trouble
and the letter I wrote to Mr.. Nagel sec
rotary of the department of commerce
and labor The government contended
that it could not intervene. We Will at
least try to show that there is ample rea-
son why the Steel trust should be fought
out OF existence as such. Our appeal and
announcement are, of course, only the be-
ginning of A plan which was thoroughly
canvas sed and which we think Will sue
coed"
The members of the federation here
seem to place great faith and hopes In
their attempt TO get into the ranks Of or
aanized labor the whole ARMY OF steel
and iron workers. What the federation
proposes to do when it shall have an
army inside the steel company is not d.

to keep up the high standard that has
been set for the navy only men of the
