guy, Uncle Bill appeared in d
pair of shoes that in all appearances
Jonah might have used, in racing
back to Nineveh after the whale had
gotten through with his tanning ex-
perience with him.
But they all knew their business
just the same, and at the word
grabbed hold Of the seine, hundred
and twenty foot affair, three at each
end, and then the fun commenced.
Circling out into the lake they came
around and faced back to the shore
where they entered, then they "closed
in and landed. Then, as Champ
Clark would say, my eyes must have
plugged out like Morning Glories'
at the sight Of the .laul, something
like a bushel of fish, buffaloes, carp,
crappies, bass, perch, drum, catfish,
and other kinds, the like of which |
had never seen.
Well, about three or four hauls and
we had more fish than we knew
what to do with Il was doing the
looking) and then all went up to the
rendezvous where the ladies took a
hand in cleaning them, while Mr..
Thompson, who seemed to be chief
cook and bottle washer built a fire.
- The frying pans were put on, the
lard put in and as soon as it COM
lnenced to crackle some of the
women commenced to fry the fish.
Well, something like an hour was
consumed in getting the fish ready
for the table cloths; then these were
spread under the trees and the fish
and all other known edibles except
garden truck were placed thereon
and the word was given to fall to-,
(here | took a real part) and l didn't
see any body hanging back to
noticeable degree. Formally was
dispensed with and in its place was
set up that little touch of nature that
makes the whole world kin and so
everybody seemed to be having the
time of their lives. The whole
scene made me think of a similar
affair that had read of in Ancient
writ, occurring on the shores Of Cali
lee, where big fish hauls were re-
ported, and something like twelve
basketfuls were gathered up of the
"leavins, and l am satisfied now of
their authenticity, in fact | am not
sure but what we could have gone
en- one better and picked upthirteen
from our fish fry. Another thing
that made lasting impression on me
is the ridiculous figure "dry land
fish liar would cut by going down
and attempting to swap stories with
a regular river fish prevaricator, on
his own heath, as l am sure that l
heard some big fish tales on this trip
that would make old Jonah and his
whale story "swink up into a mere
fable in comparison for further evil
dence see Thompson). Well, | am
back home again and if anything in
this sounds ''fishy" why remember
it. all on account of the scales.

Farms Flies for Food.

Tionesta, Pa, July GA fly
farmer and a fly farm which produces
delicious food-stuffs, actualities here,
have become such a success that
ordinary cow, grain, snail, frog and
catamount farms are likely to wane
and a new era in farming begin. Mr..
Flaubert Marcy, prosperous farmer
of Tidioute township, on a trip to
Mexico several years ago discovered
the commercial value of the fly as an
income producing insect. He was at
home at his farm to-day when a
Republic correspondent called.
Dinner was being announced and
a place was made at the table. During
the feast Nh. Marcy related how-he
came to establish a madel fly farm.
cat Lake Mono in California saw
more flies in a minute than had seen
in all my life, - he began.
'There are over $4,000 known
species of flies. Some are large and
dart through the air with the speed of
birds, while others are too small to
be observed by the naked eye; some
feed on decaying vegetable and
animal matter, others are parasitic
and feed on warm-blooded animals.
Nearly all of them are germ carriers
the African tsetse fly whose sting
produces the sleeping sickness-I
firmly believe that if medical men
would direct their researches and
experiments toit, they would discover
that even the death-carrying tsetse
fly would be used to advantage in the
cure of insomnia.
"To return to my Western trip.
The alkaline lakes in the far West
and in Mexico are too dense with salt
for fish to propagate in, but a large
species Of fly, the Ephyda, breeds
teere in innumerable swarms, billions
upon billions of them dropping their
larvae on the salt water whence it
drifts to the shores to hatch. In
certain seasons Indians will come
fifty miles to these lakes and gather
loads of the fly eggs, which they dry
on their blankets and rub between
their hands to remove the she'll.
When that is done the meat of the
eggs looks like unpublished rice, as
you can see.
please pass that dish along" Mr..
Marcy said to his wife, land let the
gentleman try some of the most
delicious dessert he ever tasted"
The dish contained toasted fly
larvae, which easily can be mistaken
for rice. 1t was pleasant to the taste,
indeed. Mr.. Marcy added that analysis
had proven it nutritious, with a high
per centage of oil and albumen.
Here is another form of the larvae"
he said, (which we first dry, then
she'll and grind it into fine flour, with
which we make cakes" A sample
If the larve flour cakes, which was
called "koochabee," was served with
cream, and having the appearance of
;ornstarch pudding, was passed
along, and it possessed the finest
flavor of all.
After dinner Mr.. Marcy took the
correspondent over the farm. Count
ess billions of flies were humming in |
:horus in the coops, which are made
# finely woven wire, fifty feet long !
~ forty wide and ten feet high. In
tide were billions of the Ephyda fly,
;ome moving in swarms, other cling
ng to the coops, while millions of /
lead ones covered the floor. In the
enter of each coop was large tank
illed with water, on which the flies
lrop their eggs by the thousands. Il

COUNTY
EXHIBIT SHIPPED
BETTER BY FAR THAN OF LAST
YEAR is THIS DISPLAY SHIPPED
YESTERDAY MORNING.

The exhibit for Carter county at the
state fair was shipped by express ID
Oklahoma City yesterday morning IN
charee of Judge West.
The reason for shipping this exhibit
by express was the result of the les
son learned in handling the exhibit
last wear. \ car was chartered ulon
this occasion and when it arrived az
Oklahoma City it was found that
draw could not be had for less than
six dollars per trip to take the stun
to the fair grounds which made the
expense rather heavy to bear by the
few who were interested last year.
The difference between the express
and freight charges is small and the
EXPRESS company deliver the stuff in
first class condition at the fair
grounds. thereby saving many dollars
o. expense for drayage.
A great many articles will have to
be shipped Monday as the farmers are
bringing their exhibits to town ana
Secretary Mccoy of the Commercial
Club will receive all such and take
charge of the shipping Monday.

morning that surveyors were at work

Frisco ON the line running between
this city and WauIka. Is. f. MohleY,
who gave this information, stated
that they were at work yesterday on
the line between joiner City and
Hewitt, coming toward Ardmore.
Just why this is being resurveyed IS
not known. The route has been gone
over sevCra! times in the past lout
years. and it is supposed that the
nromotion of the i.awton-Ardmore
line which will intersect some Of
this territory has caused some ac-
tivitv on the part of the Frisco peo-
ple. The people along the right OF
way care very little who builds the
road hut what they are demanding
is that someone build it and does SO
quickly. 4 road over this old survey
intersects some fine territory ana
would he a money maker. il was
stated some time ago when the other
line was proposed that in all proba'
bijty when work was begun between
Ardmore and Law'on, operations
would he started on the Ardmore-
Waurika route and give this portion
of the counties traversed two roads
instead of one. This is merely Il
CUES. with the people interested in
seeing the road built. They would

would add greatly TO that happiness.
