der. Both were wearing clothes stol-

Most of the goods, however, were
damaged too much To be of value and

the inyesture of the young thieves.

INTEREST IN
FLY HUNT IS
INCREASING

There is but one week left of the
first OF a series of the contest in get
ting rid of flies, which the Presbyteri-
an Friendly club is conducting in the
country east of town. The contest
closes July is. Interest has been
growing. and it looks as If the last
week would be made lively one
for the flies by the young contestants.
If any one still wishes to enter ask
some one of the committee about the
rules. They are simple. The main
thing is to get the flies. Do not be
content Just to kill those in the house
the only sure way to get rid of
the flies in the house is to get rid of
them out doors. That this can really
be done has been proved by, cam
paigns in many places in the last
year or two. Make large traps-di-
rections have been given in many of
the magaZines-baitw with scraps of
fresh meat or fish, and set near the
corral or Outbuildings. Flies will
swarm to them. Then II the trap is
covered and a little sulphur burned
under II. the flies will soon be in a
condition to win honors in any con-
test, If there are enough of them
Flies may be caught anywhere for
the contest. If your own premises do
not have enough to satisfy you, take
a trap to your neighbors. who are
not in the contest. You may oe sure
they will not object
1t has been asked If the contest
ants may be helped by other or old
er members of the family. Certainly.
This is always desirable. and where
the contestants are children, is al
most necessary. if any results worth
while are to be secured. The main
thing is to get rid of flies.
The committee are Mrs. Y. b. Nc
Clure, Mrs. Harry Harris and Miss
IneZ Bryan.
