Plans to Get Rid OF Flies.

Try the following plan and absolute
ly rid your house of flies: Pay twenty
five cents for fly trap. or, better
still, get haif-dozen, bait them and
place in your yard. Break little piece
fom the edge Cf bottle or a Mason
jar, fill with two per cent. formalin
1.-TWO tea spoons to pint of water
and invert in saucer. the top of the
saucer coming just above the hole in
the jar. Put small slice of bread
covered with sugar near the edge of
the saucer. Both bottle ana saucer
may be pat in a bracket, so it can be
hung in any sunny corner near stable
or:porch. During hot, dry weather,
with no other water near, this device
will cover porch, yard or stable with
flies that will never lay eggs any more.
Other poisons may be used. all placed
out of reach Of dogs, etc. Some such
poisoning method, placed out of doors,
proves one of the cheapest AMI easiest
solutions of the fly problem. The
bottle keeps the strength of the So
luton, and doles the poisonj downs as
needed. so that once set it requires no
attention for weeks.
Don't wait for flies to come inside
before catching or poisoning them.
Get your neighbors TO cooperate, and
your block. at least, will not be
troubled with flies. Comparatively few
are alive now. The trouble has been

Improving the Roads.

1--WE favor Federal aid to State and
local authorities in the construction
and maintainence.of post-roads. -:
This was a Democratic election
promise. 1t was plank in the plat
form adopted by the national Demo
cratic party at the Denver convention
in 1910. 1t has been assured that the
Democrats |. in the House of Repre-
sentatives would give to the people
after election what they rpromised on
the stump before. election that Speak
er Champ Clark would insist upon hav-
ing every prediction promise carried
to the letter. 1t has been repeatedly
urged that Democratic Congressman
help the good roads movement as one of
the most effective methods of giving
the farmers of the United States some
Of the beneffts--of the vast government
expenditures to which they are justly
entitled. This assurance has justsbee
made good, not in words, but in deeds.
The Democratic House of Representa-
tives, we are pleased to announce to
users Of the public roads, has passed
the Shackleford amendment to the
Postoffice appropriation bill providing
for fan expenditure of from ten to
eighteen millions of dollars annually
for the construction and Improvement
of the nations roads. The principle
on which it is proposed to spend this
money is based on compensation to be
paid by the Federal government for
the use of roads traversed by carriers
in the rural free delivery service, and
is divided into three classes as follows: ::
Class A-The highest form of i'm
proved road IN the country for which
it is proposed to pay S25 per mile per
year.
Glass B-A thoroughfare of high
quality, but not equal to Class "a, for
which it is proposed to pay 500 per
mile per year.
Glass c. The ordinary dirt road sof
the country, somewhat improved, for
which 1t is proposed to pay S15 per
mile per year.
Sentiment in favor of road improve
ment with money now being wasted
for fake commissions like the Canadian
Boundary which exists
solely TO provide berths for lame duck
politicians-is growing rapidly through
out the country. For many years the
people who live in the farming COM
munities, Eand in the smaller towns and
cities, have felt that too much of the
public moneyiwas:belng spent in the
large cities. In the last:ten years fully
go per cent. of the public revenue has
been spent IN the rcities notwithstand-
ing the fact that the people of the
country have furnished more than half
of the money collected by the govern
ment. Neither the Estate nor the
national. government:will be the loser
by generous expenditure for public road
construction, for the money will Ultl-
mately come back through the increase
! in the taxable value of farm lands.
Nor is that the onlv way it will come

cultural development of the country al
