HE IS AGAINST 1T.
Cost Harry Clark of the Santa Fe
SO to "Swat the Fly"

Harry. Clark of the treasurer's of
flee of the Santa Fee has declared
against the swat the fly campaign.
Clark has placed himself on record
as an enemy of the anti-fly cause
and he feels that he has a reason for
this change of heart.
Here is his reason:
A fly ahghted on Clark's head to
enjoy the customary pastime of
swing at the winged insect. He cir
cled around the Santa Fe mans head
for a few minutes and then returned
to renew his tickling. Once more
Clark jabbed with his right. The
third time Clark saw the pest COM
ing and he made a lunge with both
hands. Crack! The young mans
nose glasses went Pickering to the
floor. He picked them up and one
lens-it cost $4.50-was broken.
Incapacitated with only one lens,
glasses in q case in his shirt pocket
and started for the opticians. He
was crossing the street car tracks on
Kansas avenue when a car came dan
gerously near. Clark jumped across
the tracks just in time to miss the
fender.
He heard something fall behind
him. He looked just in time to see
the spectacle case ground to a thou
sand pieces under the car wheels.
Picking up the remains, he found only
one part not damaged-that a little
ring that fits over the ear.
On his way back to the office
Clark figured it up.
1t had cost him just $40 to swat
that fly-and he failed to hit the fly
at that.

TO HOLD THEM IN Line
Taft Campaign to Be Carried on
Through State Organizations.

Washington, July 17.-With the
semiofficial announcement that Presi-
dent Taft will appoint four Ohio Re
publicans to important government
posts in Washington, it became appar-
ent that one of the first moves in the
fight the Taft leaders are making for
the presidents reelection will be an
attempt to strengthen their relations
with the Republican state organiza-
lions throughout the country
Taft leaders stated that the third
party would be fought through the Re
publican state organizations. AsSur-
ances have been received at the White
House from Republicans in many
states that they will not join the third
party and the recognition of state or
ganizations the Taft leaders here be-
lieve, will influence still others to re-
main with the old party, and thus aid
his campaign. Although it was said
that the president is not ready yet to
fill several important vacancies, it was
the general belief that the appoint
ments will be sent to the senate be-
fore congress adjourns and that they
will Mt in with the plan to remember
Republican workers throughout the
country.

any special treatment, except to thin

merchant-farner planted it just be-
fore the long rainy spell early this
spring. The weather turned cold i'm
mediately afterwards and he feared
! that it would not come up. However,
after it did sprout it grew rapidly. His
greatest trouble was to keep it from

long.
The ears are just beginning to come
out. On some stalks the tips of the
ears are five feet from the ground
A step-ladder would be needed to
strip the stalks. And the ears are big.

North side in the near future. 1t is
