BIG BATTLE STARTS MONDAY

with but two days remaining before
| the close of The Stars August fly war.
indications today are that there will be
close finishes between several OF the con-
testants, and the result of the race in
doubt until the end. Layton II. Burdette.
Lawrence Fitzgerld and William Steiner
are f1ghting 1t out for highest honors
and the first prize OF $40. Their records
are such that any one of them may be
returned the winner. although the lallrels
are most likely to fall upon either Bur
dette or Fitzgerald.
The former has the total score Of 9, lbs,
900. being the only contestant to have
the month, while Fitzgerald's score is
], So. 400. The difference of 278. 600 points
is such q small one in contests Of this
kind, when insects are delivered by in
dividual competitors in lots of 10000
or more. that Fitzgerald may overcome
it any day.
Steiner May Finish Second.
Steiner's score is 1.4S5,6OO. 1t is hardly
to be expected that he will be able to
catch up with Burdette, but such feat
Is by no means impossible, and there is
a good chance that Steiner will make
Fitzgerald hustle for second honors in the
event Burdette should capture first prize.
The total number of flies slaughtered
so far this month is 1858, 400 1t is ex-
pected that considerable increases will be
recorded in the deliveries Of insects dur
ing the next three days, and there is
little doubt but that the months slaughter
record will approach the six and half
million mark.
Flies may be delivered as late as 8
o'clock Saturday afternoon DR.. Arthur
l.. Murray. supervisor Of the campaign,
will ascertain the final scores of the con-
testants Saturday night, so that the
in Sundays issue of The Star.
Big Battle Starts Monday.
Bright and early next Monday the
last month of The Stars all-summer
fly war will begin. This will be the
biggest month of the campaign from
the. standpoint of the competitors, as
their scores for the previous four
months will be taken into account and
grand prizes awarded accordingly.
These prizes will range in value up to
500.
considering the cool weather which
prevailed in the early part y the month
and checked the development of the
pests, L consider the August war on
flies an unusually successful one, -
said DIR. Murray today. while the
slaughter of the insects is not as great
as that recorded in July, nevertheless
it is enormous and is bound to have
an effect in reducing next seasons fly
population. The children have worked
hard and deserve the appreciation OF
every public-spirited citizen.
