ton Of $37 ,26O, 900 and which during the
present fiscal year will require $780,

and so much q part of current business
that postmaster general who would
recommend the discrimination of the
service would be drummed from Office

delivery has eliminated the isolation of
farm life, and with the telephone and
the auto, has brought the most distant

rural delivery routes are worth at least

IOWA AUTHORITIES
STARTS WAR ON FLIES
State Board OF Health Takes up Cudgel

Number.

State Board OF Health Takes up Cudge
Against the Pests to Reduce the
Number.
The Iowa board of health has issued
statement, copies of which have been
received in Sioux City, warning the peo.
pie of Iowa to take precautions against
flies. In making the report on the dan
gers of flies, the board declared that
many people are neglecting to heed
warning against the pest. The board
has asked that the following note be
published in the various papers of the
state:
Attention has been called to the fact
that flies are one of the most dangerous
menaces of life and of health with which
mankind has to contend, being respon-
sible for large proportion of all cases
of typhoid fever and diarrheal diseases
of infants and many cases of tuberculosis
and other contagious diseases.
"They have caused thousands of deaths
in Iowa and will continue their work of
destruction until the houseksepers swak.
en- to the fact and inaugurate warfare
that will result in their determination.
This can be accomplished definitely and
effectively. 1t requires only the remov-
al of filth. Flies breed in filth and in
dlth alone. Without filth there can be
no flies. More than 80 per cent of them
breed in stable manure and the balance
in garbage, outhouses and other forms Of
refuse.
"An immediate and thorough cleaning
OF premises should be effected and fur
ther accumulations of filth avoided.
Stable manure should be kept in vaults
or boxes. Garbage receptacles should be
carefully covered and the contents
sprinklsd with unslacked line or soil.
In addition to the measures for preven-
ton of the breeding of flies, every effort
should be made to prevent them enter
ing the house or having access to milk
or other foods.
"Flies especially should be kept away
from the sick, and if one is discovered in
the sick room it should be killed. Peo.
pie who have cleaned their own prem.
ises should demand that their neigh.
bors should do likewise, and notify the
board of health of any failures or refus-
als,"

Speaking of Shoes.

Street shoes should never be worn in
doors; it scuffs them and makes them
prematurely shabby (not to mention the
harm it does the feet). If one cannot
get shoe-trees, it is good plan to stuff
paper or cotton into them to preserve
their shape-see that the buttons and
laces are in good condition and the shoes
thoroughly cleaned before they are put
away. The heels should be Strengthened
as soon as they are perceptibly run
down. A well-shod foot is an extremely
important item of the toilet since the
very short skirt has become such &
prominent feature of our fashions, and
it seems destined to remain 80. w,
should be just as particular of our foot
wear as we are of our neckwear.-Th,

HOME OF THE ODD FELLOWS.

| ASmn SF Th1 0DD EELLOWos
Thursday, July 14th, was a great day
for South Dakota Odd Fellows, as on
that day the corner stone for the mag
nifcent home being built at Dell Rap
ids, was laid, with all the impressive
and interesting ceremonies Of the order.
The day was perfect one for an out
door function, and hundreds Of Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs from all parts Of
the state were present to take part in
the days doings.
A special session Of the grand lodge
was held, all the grand officers being
present.
The Rebekah assembly was represent
ed by President Mae Sweeting, Marshal
Ida Fishbeck, Past President Sallie Pat
ton, and large delegations Of sisters from
all over the state.
Twenty-one subordinate lodges we're
represented. A special train from Mad
ison brought above 200 visitors from
towns along that line, and the Sioux
Falls members had q special coach well
filled.
The foundation of the home building
is nearly completed, and had been floor
ed over and canopy erected for the
speakers stand, and the whole beautiful
ly decorated with American flags and
the colors of the order.
On arriving at the building the grand
officers took places on the platforms.
The Madison band played America" 1"
and the imposing ceremony of laying
the corner stone then took place, Grand
Master Wallace officiating, and carry
ing out the regular ritualistic cere-
monies.
The stone is handsome piece of red
jasper from the Dell Rapids quarries,
and was beautifully polished and letter.

The perpetuity of the country's great
ness depends upon increasing the pro-
duction of farm products from year to
year, a result which not only furnishes
our people with food but maintains the
prosperity of our farming communities.
Increase in production can only come
through improved methods of agricnl-
ture and soil improvement. When it is
considered that the dairy COW is the
foundation for soil improvement and
farming prosperity, her importance is
best understood, and interest in her
should not be confined to her owner.
She is an important factor in the devel-
opment and prosperity of our country.

Contact has Great Future knowledge OF
It's Resources Only Required.
Among the latest converts to the be-
lief that Contact, Nevada, is one Of the
greatest copper fields in the country is
c. d. Hanks of this city, who has been
in that district looking up its possibili-
ties in the interest of Utah capitalists.
He found that it is not only district of
unusual resources in the way Of high.
grade copper ores, but that there are
many indications that valuable gold
mines will be opened.
"After man has gone over that field
and realizes what world of opportuni-
ties exist in Contact" said Mr.. Hanks,
che wonders how it remained dormant
these many years; the mystery is how
capital could have overlooked those
magnificent opportunities. My theory
is that, owing to their presence in such
plentituds, and since 30 many Of the
claims are in the hands of large capital.
lists who have done nothing with them,
their plan has been to let them wait
until certain specified conditions might
arrive under which other properties
possibly desired might be available for
less figures than those at which they
have been held. But the time, in my
estimation, is now arrived when no pol
icy such as that can operate against Con-
tact's progress. People are going to get
in there very soon who will push along
the development, and when one crowd
of investors begins working and ship
ping out the ores others will begin.
"The railroad construction needed is
no great bugbsar. Thirty-fve miles
only is needed between Contact and
Rogerson, and 1t Is line that can be
completed at comparatively small cost.
If the railroad company does not, then
the mine owners will build the road.
Contacts resources are found along
contact so to 25O feet wide that is in
horseshoe form and upon which man
can walk for 20 miles. Openings along
that rim have been made at innumer.
able points and every one of them shows
ore that is rich enough to mine and
much that would pay to ship in crude
form. There are undoubted indications
also of gold in paying quantities
although the prospecting has not been
carried along for the precious metal tc

"The showings are so much greater
than we in Utah have been led to be

that when Utah investors learn wha

Last week the superintendent adver.
tised a school that would pay $50 per
month for nine months to a successful
teacher holding first grade certificate.
One young lady has answered to the ad.
vertisement. Doubtless there will be
others. This week the superintendent
has another offer for $50 per month for
eight months to successful teacher
holding first grade certificate. Who
will answer? Why should a teacher be
satisfied to work year after year for $40
and $45 a month on a second grade cer-
tificate when there are districts willing
to pay $50 and $50 for successful teach
er? There are many teachers in this
county who have taught years on sec
ond grade certificate and they have not
the slightest ambition to improve their
scholarship. Such teachers are not
worth moro than $40 month, and even
this may be too high wages for some of
them.-W. A. Mair in Sioux Falls

The State Assessment Board met In
Pierre Monday. Whether or not per-
sonal property valuations will show any
great increase depends upon the manner
in which assessors have done their work.
But there will be an increase OF fully
$40, ,0OO, 900 in lands. This is secured
through the assessment of new lands
and the increases on valuations of lands
in the different counties, which was
fixed by the county auditors at their
meeting last March.
