feat of Wickham are said to bt
several, one was that he had beer

WAR ON THE HOUsEFLY.
Started In Kansas, and Nearly Every
State Has Taken 1t Up.

Started In Kansas, and Nearly Every
State Has Taken 1t Up.
Kansas started war on the common
househy, and the battle has been TAX.
en- up by nearly every state in the
Union. Old Doc Crumbine, as be is
known iii the west, started the hostili-
ties. Crumbine was made secretary
of the Kansas state board of health
several years ago and at once started
to send out bulletins. He muckraked
the housefy and did it SO well that
the whole commonwealth fell upon
this little pest with Ii viciousness that
knew no quarter.
"Crumbine realized that the common
housefy is q distributor of innu-
merable filth and loathsome disease
germs in it's movements from garbage
piles, cesspools and stables to sick
rooms." writes f. D. Coburn in the
June number of the American Maya
zine, land exposed food supplies and
proceeded to inaugurate his famous
swat the fly campaign in which every
body has joined until in Kansas the
fly, like the dispenser of strong drink,
is an outlaw and a fugitive.
"What is here related of this quiet,
soft spoken man is indicative of the
wholesome service a capable, conscien-
tious official can render if he has his
aus at heart. Such is this UMPIRE
tentious, modest, tireless. intelligent
Secretary Crumbine, who in his lines
has pushed his state forward a hun

BETS 1T WILL RAIN.

Kansas Farmer Has Unique Hobby.
Loses Heavily,
1t is a fad with James Fike, farmer,
Of Colby. Kan. to bet on the weather.
He more than bets. He plunges, and
fortunate it is for him that he has a
big bank account. Last August he
staked $4,000 on a chance that it
would rain within three months. If it
had rained as he bet he would have
made $25O.00O and got his $4,000 back
too But it did not rain. Fike has
been at it now for five years and has
never won. He says. however:
"I1l make a big killing one of these
years just as sure as shooting, and
when l do III put on patent leather
shoes and go to the seashore."
Fike has staked $175,O0O in five years
on chances that there would be enough
rain and ~seasonable weather to give
him a bumper crop of wheat. Each
year OF the five something went wrong.
He has 1900 acres III wheat this year.
