garbage into the kitchen. The garb-
age cans, to his idea, can be made
so attractive as to draw the flies out
of the kitchen and focus them at one
spot and catch them, as soon as they
come. AS fast as the traps are filled,
the contents are scalded and removed
and fed to chickens or put into the
garbage can.
He has devised trap attachment
to garbage cans with which on one
occasion, he caught $500 flies in SO
minutes. This was back OF market
in an ice cream stand. The can was
baited with fish heads, meat scraps,
watermelon rinds and green corncobs.
over which the melted waste from the
lice cream freezers was poured. The
cover of this can was held up by
strips of metal soldered to the can
so as to keep about quarter OF an
inch fly space entirely around the
can through which the flies could en-
ter. Then wire gauze trap was set
over a hole in the sunny side OF the
ton of the can. The flies crawled in,
attracted by the odor of food, and
ATTEMPTED to escape by the only open
ing through which the light came,
thus entering the trap.
| Another form devised by Hodge
had tight can cover, the trap be-
ing contained within the cover. The
trap itself forms the only entrance
to the can, and the flies, attracted by
the odor, enter the trap.
He made still another arrangement
for screen for table, cellar or
manure pit window, making small
hole in the screen near the top anu
providing the screen with narrow
strips of tin or wood to guide the
flies to the hole; the hole, of course,
leads into wire gauze trap, where
all the flies that emerge will De
caught. In the same way he made
another, also provided with guiding
strips on the outside, and furnished
with a trap on the inside, so as to
catch all of the flies that might be
attracted to the stable to lay then
eggs.
Kitchen Traps
On the habit that flies have OF be-
ing attracted to kitchens by the odol
of the cooking or by the warmth or
cool nights, he bases another line oil
attack, which is to make a hole IN
the window screen with the guidine
, strips outside and the trap inside
thus catching all the flies that at
: tempt to enter the kitchen lin thai
, way He has tested this device, bu'
, thinks that it cannot compete WIFI
, the garbage can trap.
AS to results, Professor Hodge
/ says: Develop the means OF attach
, seriously and effectively in the out-of
5 doors and fully believe that ther'
, will be no filthy flies to go back tt
the compost heaps and barnyards u
Hay their eggs. After using his trap
q for a period, he found it possible t.
dine on the porch, as he expressed 1t
The had turned the tables on the HE
and put them, in prison and let him
self out. Hodge wishes to stimulat
invention towards making effectlv
,out-of-doors fly traps, and he urge
experiments with different BATS II
: states that he did enough in the sum
,mer of 1910 to be convinced that an
country home "a half mile away fror
it's nearest ignorant neighbor, tor an
town or city, could completely e,
terminate the filth fly by intelligen
and cooperative effort during tn
months of April and May land pos
sibly June) of any year.

Eddy Family with Howe's Great Lon
don Shows

There are many novel acts with the
Great London shows which are certain
to be we'll received in every city lucky
enough to secure visit from the con-
solidated enterprises. There are acts
which were never seen in America
until this show opened the season of
1911, for the reason that there was no
amusement enterprise great enough to
afford the large salaries which the
artists demand and no institution with
sufficient prestige to attract the at
tention of such celebrated performers.
The Eddy Family of acrobats, for
instance, perform feats which have
never been seen in other shows.
The Great London shows will ex-
hibit at Blackfoot on August 80.

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CrrY, August II, 19l1.- Cattle received here this week will amount to 46,300 head, including about 6000 calves, received last
 week y 400, same week last year 54,200. The feature the week has been the spectacle of good to choice cattle going up, and medium to common ones going the other way, the spread widening 40 to 50 cents this week. Light weight steers in the quarantine division received the biggest cut, as buyers claim they have been costing as much in the coolers as the best cattle, be- cause of low killing percentages on the light stuff. The best native fed steers reached a top of $7 .60 this week, which is 35 cents higher than any time previously this year, prime yearlings brought $740, and native grass steers. half fed last winter, brought $685, which is a quarter better than they have done before. Anything under the $500 line had to submit to some prun- ing, from that figure down to $500 values were cut 10 25 cents, and steers selling under $500 sold 9 to 50 lower. Obviously big dele gation formerly eligible in the $500 or better class, now have to sell under that figure. Dealers expect this turn in the market to stop a lot of cattle for a few weeks, and do not look for a very heavy run, considering the season. for the first of next week. OfI course, reduced supplies will bring an upturn. Calves are holding steady, best $700, grass cows worth S3.25 to S4.50. bulls $300 to $450, quarantine steers $375 to $5.50, a few fed cattle this week in quaran- tine division up to S605. Stockers and feeders are 50 cents higher this week, top feeders of the week sell ing yesterday at $590. Country buyers base their calculation on the way good to choice cattle are selling.
 Hog receipts are down to famine figures, 21,700 for the week, as compared with 29,400 last week, and 22,200 same week last year. The market has successfully resist ed strong efforts made to depress it, sales today at the weeks best figures, $7G5 top, bulk $7.40 to $55, though the close was weak, and last sales lower. The extreme 1y slim run now does not quite accord with the expectation of f hooo Jon1 1o~o ,, L1 co., 4L = -.... 1

of hogs this fall will be the largest on record at all the markets. Twice as many hogs could be handled here as are coming, with out hurting prices at all.
 Sheep and lambs are 25 to 40 higher this week, run light, 23,900 for the week. Last week p 800 came in, and receipts were 26,S00 same week last year. Utah started on the summer run from that sec ton this week, and the stuff sold good. Top lambs today brought S725. wethers worth $3.75, ewes $3.00 to $3.50. Dealers look for break in lambs later this month, and expect sheep to sell at low prices all fall. Feeding lambs have been purchased here this week at $450 to $475, feeding wethers 1925 to s 35, breeding and stock ewes $2. 50 to $3 65.

Jerome News: With young grass mp from four to six inches on all Arizona ranges and the wa ter holes all full, cattle fat and sleek, range conditions could not be better than at the present time. Already this years rains have been bountiful and in some sec tions the rainfall has already ap- preached well toward the average. If present conditions continue dur ing the summer there will be more than the average rainfall, insur- ing ample feed for the grazing stock and plenty of water to last we'll along to the winter rains.

DECATUR'S MYSTERY
 IS SOLVED AT LAST
Murdered Man Is Identified By His Father as w IN.
 Parker of Concord

Decatur, March -(SpeciaD-After a country, in which many teegrams and letters were transmitted and received the young man who was killed here some seven days ago has at last been identi- fled beyond question as William Ma thaniel Parker of Concord, N. C., and the remains were shipped to his father, J. S. Parker to Concord, N. C., on an early train this morning.
 The identity was made by a missing toe, next to the great toe, and two tat too marks on the body. To Captain Wales of the local Salvation army, and 10 the local members of the Junior Or der United American Mechanics is due the discovery of the dead mans iden- tity. The first clue was secured by a Covington, Tenn, mark on his trousers. It was learned at Covington that Parker had worked there for a while and that he took with him there a young girl, whom he claimed as his wife. Later tho girls father, J. H. Bryant, of Bonhan, Tex, arrived on the scene and Parker married the girl and the father took ehc SHi hoiio Wltl HILL NeNt d Wic from Mr. Bryant in the Texas town said Parker had sister at Concord, N. c. A wire was sent to the sister and the father replied and sent de- scription of his son by telegraph and by telephone that identified the dead man without question. Hence the re- mains were shipped to him.
 On the fast train last night there ar rived here a MT. Worrel of Ottowa, H., he came, thinking the dead man was his son. When he viewed the re- mains he found his mistake. MT. Wor- rell had previously sent telegram and full description of his son in letter, together with the sons photograph. The description was almost perfect and the photograph was good likeness of the dead man. MT. Worrel had missing son who he had not heard from in { long time.
