George Bedierman. As wears old.

George Bedierman, 45 years old, a
hermit, alleged moonshiner and map
Of mystery in Greene county, was
found dead Wednesday in his lonely
cabin across the Blue Ridge at Lydia.
Three days dead, the body had reached
a fearful state OF decomposition. The
uudertakers covered it and hurried il
off to the grave without funeral ser
vices. The report that the man re-
Gently had large sum Of money gave
rise 70 theories OF murder. Bed,ler-
man went to Greene about seven years
ago and his life is complete mystery
to all. He never left home, lived en-
tirely alone and his few wants were sup
piled by neigbbors, all OF whom lived
at some distance.

The campaign against the fly cannot be
successfully carried on through individual
effort 'alone. Individual activity is Of
great service; the fight against this sum-
mer pest has been waged for many years
by the good housewife, who has her home
screened and who swats the intruding ny
whenever she sees him, and thus keeps
her home as free from the dangerous
nuisance as IL he never existed But this
sort of warfare does not reach the root of
the evil. Except for those comparatively
few homes that are thoroughly protected
1t is Of no service. What is needed is
organization that will effectively combat
the malady at it's beginning. 1t Is the
breeding place Of flies that must be
stamped out
IN a number of towns and cities In the
United States the initiative in the fly
crusade has been taken by health officers,
but In the majority Of communities the
health officials have to be stirred up. In
few communities, private practitioners
have been the exciting cause OF anti-fly
work.
Elsewhere, the beginnings have been
made either by a single private individual

or by some local organization, as a civic
league. a women's club, or town i'm
provement society. women's clubs have
done very effective work in this direction.
The first effort OF such an organization
should be to enlist the sympathy and CO.
operation of the health authorities of the
community. This gained, every possible
effort should be made to induce the con.
trollers OF the appropriations for the health
officials to realize the importance of this
work. Health officers without funds at
their disposal for the employment of In
spectors and for the carrying out of reeu-
lations are helpless, and therefore the first
step, after the health officials themselves
are convinced of the desirabiity of the
work, is to secure the funds. In some
cases this has been done by private sub
scription, the money to be expended under
the supervision OF the health officers. In
other cases private individuals with suffl-
Client leisure have had themselves appointed
as health inspectors without salary.

HIS WAS JOY OF GIVING
hood AVerted by Red
Wagon.


A little boy Of perhaps IL years had for
more than a week made daily trips TO the
postoffice at Warsaw, Mo. He lived about
five miles from town and usually walked
the distance barefooted and over a rough
road. The mother of this little boy was
living apart from him, probably serving
as a domestic with some family miles
away, She had written him that she
would send him a wagon-one of the mihia-
ture express kind. usually painted red In
some way the little fellow thought the
wagon must come through the postoffice-
that It could arrive no other way.
And so each day he would walk up to
the general delivery window and inquire
n his wagon had come Each time as the
Disappointing answer that nothing had
come was given him the tears would come
to the little fellows eyes. but ne would
bravely brush them away and the next day
return with his usual query. No doubt the
little fellow tired Of the long Journeys.
no doubt his shoeless feet were torn and
bstered by the rock road over which he
came. but he made the trip every dAy,
having implicit faith that his wagon must
come by mail.
A gentleman happening TO be In the
postoffice one day heard the little fellow 5
request-probably his sixth trip that week
and noticed that his voice broke with dis
appointment as the office attaches gave
him the same old answer. Sympathizing
with the little fellow. this gentleman came
up town and for n.25 bought the little fell
low a wagon which met his every wish,
which chased all the tears away. And in
that happiness and contentment which
thrilled the childish heart the act OF this
good Samaritan had its own reward.-war-

ITH the excellent assortment
NAYl of vegetables now on the

l;3,SzS trouble in selecting a soup
for dinner There are any
number of savory vegetable soups
made with a single vegetable as the
principal ingrediant, or with COM
bination of these nutritious food stuffs
from the garden. An old fashioned
vegetable soup embodies enough nour-
ishment In itself to eliminate the need
for an extensive dinner menu. and the
home table often is lightly bridged
over from soup to dessert when vege-
tables are the foundation of the first
course. Some good soup receipts are:
Cream OF Corn Soup-Put one quart
of milk In a double boiler with a slice
of onion. Score down the center Of
each row of grain on six ears OF corn,
squeeze out the pulp and add It to the
milk. Remove the onion, then smooth
two tablespoonfuls of butter and two
tablespoonfuls OF flour TO a paste,
adding q little milk to make thin. Stir
the paste into the mixture In the
double boiler and keep stirring for ten
minutes. Season to taste.
Vegetable Soup-Use one quart OF
rich soup stock or a shin of beef. II
the beef is used, 1t should be partially
cooked before the vegetables are adj
ded. The water should be skinned
ana when ready for the vegetables
should measure about two quarts.

and the admission of only trustworthy
pilots to the competition. one or more of
the aeroplanes may be driven over or

therefore. of the possible danger of for
eigners becoming acquainted with impor-
tant military secrets, they are debating
whether it may not be advisable to refuse
permission for the fight to he made.
The authorities are furthermore not
quite convinced that the competition is ar

prove an excellent advertisement for

ties will probably Law the matter before

competition shall be sanctioned or not.
