The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1911-12-15

If you don't see what you want for
Christmas gifts in to-day's advertising
columns in The Times, it is something
which would be hard to get. Barre
merchants are always prepared to pre-
sent frst-class goods, and their lines are
as complete as can be found in cities of
Barre's size anywhere in New England.
In fact, we hear the assertion frequently
made that trading is just as satisfactory
in Barre as one could hope to have in
much larger cities. And Christmas time
the assertion is doubly true, The rush
season before this Christmas has been
rather delayed because of the unusual
warmth Of the air and the entire lack
of snow, but from this time on it prom
ises to reach the usual volume.

SWATTING THE FLY.

They talked Of determination" of the
houseHy- speakers did yesterday at the
meeting OF the American Civic associa-
ton in Washington, D c., talked as
glibly as if the proposition We're pos
sible thing. 1t win never be possible to
destroy that species of life, swat 'em'
as hard and as often as We like. But
while it never will be possible to realize
that end, it is certain that the killing
of any considerable portion Of the house
fly census means lessening of disease
and the consequent physical anguish.
Every dead fly means the destruction OF
possible disease spreader. Looking at
the matter from that standpoint, one
can eonscientiously 60 into the fly
swatting campaign. But it is idle to
talk about determination" of the in
sect pest.
That the ''iy-fghting committee" of
the American Civic association has been
doing diligent work toward the lessening
of the pest is indicated by its report
that 100000 pieces of literature" were
printed and circulated during the past
year, and that as result Of those eff.
forts campaigns were inaugurated in
many parts of the country. For in
stance, Baltimore slew 100000 flies in
one year and Washington, d. c., made
way with 6,Ss6,6OO, that is, the known
count was that. How many various and
sundry unenumerated slanghters there
We're is not known. But those numbers
are infinitesimal as compared with the
total fly life of the country, or even OF
one city; and it makes apparent what
hopeless task lies ahead of the ehy
swatting' campaign Of determination"
At the same time, remember that every
dead fly is lessening of human ills and
keep up the eswatting.7
