THE FLY CROP.

While 1t is impossible to forecast the
weather or tell just how large the diff
ferent crops will be, there need be no
guesswork on the question of flies. 1t
is safe to take 1t for granted that there
will be the usual number Of the dirty
pests 1t is true there are not as many
Of them about right now as there will
be in eight weeks. but 1t is none too
early to begin waging a vigorous cam
paign against them The fight against
them should be waged along two gen.
eral lines-first. reducing their breed
ing places to a minimum, and. next, TO
destroy them with traps and poison as
soon as they put in an appearance.
The several prepared fly dopes are ex-
cellent. but care should be taken to see
that they are kept out Of the reach Of
little children. Another dope that is
not harmful TO the human is made by
adding a couple of tablespoonfuls Of
formalin to a pint of water and placing
this in shallow dishes where the flies
gather. A little sugar and a few drops
Of vinegar will serve TO increase its
drawing power The most effective
trap is made by inserting a cone made
OF wire screen with a small hole in
the tip in the bottom Of a barrel or
smaller receptacle with wire sides.
made fly tight This should be put
where the flies gather, raised three or
four inches on supports and a dish of
some sweet stuff placed beneath to
more effectively draw the flies. They
will creep up this cone into the trap.
and the more flies there are trapped
the more will want to get into il.

toms, wonder sometimes why folks
persist in living where the water level
in these rivers is higher than the beds
they sleep In at night and where In
time of spring freshets they are likely
to be drowned out of house and home
The secret of this persistence may be
accounted for in part by the fact that
many Of these people are Of limited re-
sources and have not the wherewithal
to buy land elsewhere. but in larger
part because these lowlands, overflow
ed as they are with the silt laden va
ters at floodtime. are as fertile and
productive as was ever the valley Of
the Nile.

THE PHOSPHORUS MATCH.
Yc+ Do,,l Dicroff.h


The Hughes bill to abolish the use Of
white phosphorus in matchmaking
passed the house last Thursday. 1t
received the endorsement Of all Mime
sofas representatives excepting Mr..
Davis, who was not present. The bill
is almost an exact counterpart Of the
measure introduced two years ago by
Representative Esch. of Wisconsin.
The Esch bill probably would have
gone thru had it not been found that
the Diamond Match Company con-
trolled the patent rights on the only
substitute for white phosphorus that
is known to match manufacturers. Its
passage then would have given mo-
nopoly to that company. The concern
has since relinquished its patent rights
and the substitute is available to all
manufacturers who care to use 1t. 1t
ia understood that this REIMBURSEMENT
was voluntary-an act for which the
so-called match trust is entitled to
credit.
The bill should not be delayed in the
senate. It is humanitarian measure
designed to protect employees In match

to the famous Crystal and Leaning

dazzling as the electric lights with

electric cars or automobiles are per-
mitted on the island. 1t has been de-
termined by the controlling legislative
body, concurred in by the late governor
general, that the best interest of Ber-
nuda and it's inha bitants is to permit
only horse drawn vehicles, for one
reason because the roadWays are mar
row. and the distances not being great,
that horses shall not be displaced by
the more modern style OF locomotion.
There are some very large hotels and
with reasonable rates on the American
plan, where it would seem that a vaca-
ton could be very pleasantly spent.
No words can describe the gorgeous
coloring of the water as we drove on
those splendid winding roads, and
passed the fields Of Easter lilies that
have made the island famous. Many
of the passengers brought great han l.
fuls of the delicate flowers on board.

is collected in this way and stored In
cisterns for their water supply.

Increased Intersst in Iowa History.
rJournal of History and POlitics.1

A growing interest in the study and
preservation of state and local history
was manifested at conference SEMI
mar held at Iowa City on March 26,
under the auspices Of the state His
torical Society Of Iowa. Most OF the
yeadtng colleges in the state were rep
resented at this conference seminar
and it is believed that the result will
be a greater and more general realiza :
ton Of the Importance of the study OF
Iowa history. Courses in Iowa history
are already offered in several Iowa coll
leges, and the indications are that in
the course of time the movement will
spread to other institutions of learning,
including the larger high schools Of the
state.
Among the things which were
brought out at the conferences sem :
mar are the importance of the pres
ervation of all letters, diaries, docu-
ments, pamphlets and books relating
to Iowa and the need of recording the
"reminiscences Of the pioneers Of the
state. 1t was also pointed out that a
knowledge of past conditions in Iowa

for instance reform in the tax system
or in the method of controlling corpo-

that no more ideal spot can be found
for visit than Bermuda.
We are now nearing the end OF .
most pleasurable cruise. Last evening
there was given = farewell dinner. a.
many left the steamer to stop In Ber-
muda. An address was given by MI.
Justice Riddle, Of Toronto one OF the
judges of the kings bench. commenda-
tory of the captain and officers OF tho
ship and dealing to some extent with
the relations OF Canada, the United
States and Germany, to which last
named nation this vessel belongs. IL
was a well delivered and entertaining
address and the speaker was HesaShy
congratulated upon its conclusion. Tho
dining saloon was decorated with fags
Of the different nations and steamers
Of various colors. The ladies and gen.
tlemen appeared in full evening dress
and altogether 1t was gala occasion.
Favors Or souvenirs were distributed
by the steamer company, In the way OF
pretty fans to the ladies and mementos
of various descriptions, and the even
ing concluded with dancing on the aft
deck.
Not an accident has happened, not
a storm has occurred, to interfere with
| the pleasure of the trip. The fact that
such a long cruise could be had with
no disturbing interference from wind
or wave has been the subject of uni
versal remark. OF course most OF us
had acquaintance going on the trip
before we started, but new and vaiu-
able friendships have been formed such
as can only be made on long sea
voyage and we feel well repaid in the
increased knowledge Of the world we
live in and the rest and quiet OF the
trip. and the Moltke will not soon be
forgotten.
