WAR ON THE FLIES

War on the house fly is to be re
newed this year with increased &C
tiyity The scientists and bacteriol,
ogists and health officers are after
the house fly and say that it is only
a question Of time until they have
her going south.
Being baldheaded man our SYM
pathies are entirely with the knock
ers. but we are not betting on them.
II We were TO bet at all. we would
place our hard earned money on the
house hy.
The female house fly. which is
really the only member of the fam
ily worth considering is a bird Of
great perseverance and marvellous
productive powers She can arise
IN the morning, knock the dust out
Of her eyes with her front legs, then
settle down TO business, and by even
ing be the mother Of Z million
anxious and energetic kids. By the
third day all Of these offspring are
ready TO start in business on their
own hook II is very hard TO keep|
up with productive female Of this
kind. Il is believed, however. that
by doctoring the building places of
the fly that her eggs can be destroy
ed before they are hatched, and in
this way the family can be gradually
exterminated.
As we have said. our sympathies
are with the knockers. The house
fly has no redeeming traits of char
acter that we have ever discovered.
She is the personification Of indo-
lence. and as butter-in is without
a peer. She is foe to health and
religion. She scatters disease and
provokes unseemly profanity.
Down with the house fly. Swat
her. And while you are swatting
take a swat at the mosquito, too.

NEW ACADEMY PROPOSED.

England Wants One Devoted to Litera-
ture-Mr. Shorter's Comment.
There is much discussion at present
in England over the academy of lit
erature which those interested in lit
erary affairs desire to found. Maurice
Hewlett has written to an English pc
riodicaI that the business of the selec-
ton of members is to be the work of
himself and Douglas Freshfeld.
The difficulty of selecting members
that would be accepted unanimously
by author and book lovers is mani
fest. The story of lola Is recalled.
The French author after having been
received in England with considerable
enthusiasm said with regard to the
French academy: Now 1 am safe.
shall drop into it as easily as sou
into a slot" But NJ. lola was never
elected to the academy.
There is one literary organization in
London which is doing much practical
and needed work-the Royal Literary
fund. Poverty is hardest to bear
when it is accompanied by imagina-
ton in the VICTIM" writes Mr.. Shorter
land have known many cases where
the Royal Literary fund committee has
helped struggling authors whose pen
ury must seem almost incredible to
the ordinary literary clubman, or, in
deed, to the Fleet street journalist. In
the literary life prosperity and merit
have absolutely no kinship."

NEWS OF THE NEIGI1BORS

the soft, delicate inner parts yield TO
the impact; the nerves and muscular
tissues cannot operate in unison, and
the insect may be said to have been
rendered unconscious as well as inca
pable, for the mind" actions depend
upon its entire nervous system.
But there is no such thing as an ami
malls having more than one life. When
crushed, dismembered. poisoned or
smothered beyond recovery, when its
vital organs are injured so that they
cannot again resume their. regular
uses, an insect will die-not in appear
ance, but really so. And this may re-
suit from the wearing out Of its active
vital organism, which may be called
old age, after sometimes only few
days or weeks Of life. Its one life has
then been terminated beyond any

INSECT RESISTANCE.
No Such Thing as Any Animal Having
More Than One Life.

No Such Thing as Any Animal Having
More Than One Life.
All animals have the power to re-
cover from injury occasioned by shock
from being stunned. Insects are Ia
no sense an exception to this, and
most of them possess what has been
called tenacity of life to a remarkable
degree. a butterfly will sail away with
a pin through its body, an ant will go
houndering around after being cut in
two, and all insects will quickly re-
cover from blow, even if such may
dent or break their external coverings.
In such cases the inside parts are
mostly out of use for a short time,
somewhat similar to the case of your
arm when you have struck the funny
bone" or to your foot when it is
asleep" But after a few moments
rest the wasp can again resume its
actions.
A wasp is well armored. It's exterior
covering is hard and almost unyield-
ing. When it is struck a severe blow

For the first time in its history tho
Rock River Association of Congrega-
tional Churches examined and ordain-
ed a candidate for the ministry, Tie
power to ordain recently having been
taken from the church councils and
invested in the association. H. L.
Sawyer of Sherrard is the man who
was examined and ordained. Today
he is Rev. Mr.. Sawyer, pastor OF the
Congregational church in Sherrard
Long time trial has shown that neither
the church nor the individual has al
ways received justice when councils
passed on and ordained candidates tor
the ministry. Too many unfit men
were given the cloth, it is said. With
the councils In charge personal friend
ship for the candidate was a great
factor, but now that the associations
are in charge the candidate stands on
his true merit, and better results are
expected. In accepting a candidate the
association makes itself responsible
and in accepting the calling the candi
date becomes responsible to the asso-
citation. The association voted imam
mously to ordain Mr.. Sawyer. The re-
port of the association as to the fitness
of Mr. Sawyer was read by the scribe
and it was moved that the assembly |
proceed with the ordination. Rev. w. |

prayer and scripture was read by Rev. |
