He was assured that such was not

FLIES ARE TRAVELLERS

The investigation following a re-
cent fly plague at Postwick, a small
village near Norwich, England, has
confirmed the fly's bad reputation
as a possible carrier of disease, and
has proven that the insect can travel
to a greater distance from its place
of origin that has been sometimes
stated. AS the village has no ia
vorable breeding spots, the advent
of the flies aroused suspicion
against refuse heap half a mile
away. Flies were captured in vari-
GUS scattered localities, marked with
a busting OF colored chalk powder
and liberated. and the recaptures
showed that the refuse heap was
really a breeding center, and that
the flies might travel more than
1.4OO yards. The common house fly
was the species chiefly present.

The best memorial to Horace
Greeley is the town in Colorado
which bears his name and is the Of
fetal seat of Weld county. That
place was settled in 1870 by the
Greeley colony, made up mainly of
New England folks, although lot
of New Workers and people from
other states went along. BY irriga-
ton they made of the almost bar
rem region a rich agricultural coun-
try, and in addition -four, beet sugar
and lumber are turned out there.
One of the founders, John Leavy,
recently died in Greeley at the age
Of 81 years. He was a florist in
New Jersey before 1870, and by the
New York Tribune became in
terested in the plan of N. C. Meeker
to carry out Editor Greeley's ideas
and found a colony at the foot of
the Rocky mountains. Mr.. Leavy

point in twelve years, coffee is soar
ing and potatoes are selling as nlgh
as .1.lO bushel In the HELD.
Householders, in view OF this are
asking themselves:
Will this winter see a recurrence
of the condition OF 19OS-1o when

and declined slowly only after many
so-called boycotts against meat ana
other high priced commodities were
declared throughout the land!
Economic experts answer no.
Prices will be higher. they say. IN
some instances above those OF last
winter, but they add that the man
who sets his table with plain. every
day fare, avoiding fancy brands and
near luxuries. may await the ap-
proach of cold weather without un-
due anxiety. It IL pointed out that,
speaking, with the excep-
ton OF coffee, sugar. potatoes and
few canned vegetables, the present
month OF September was ushered In
with conditions more favorable

year ago.

lard is selling at q fraction more

IL cents in September, 1910. ane
butter and egg prices are compara
lively reasonable and few cents
cheaper retail than in last Septem
ber.
Flour of good quality Is selling

vailed at this time last year, ant
