THE FLIES
EVerybody's Doing It-Even Walt
Mason Swats the Fly

Now the flies begin their buzzin'
by the gross and by the dozen and
they make our lives a burden with
their gimlets and their drills: they
are riding on the breezes and they
scatter more diseases than the doc
can ever master with his sugar coated
pills. Day by day the housefy hus-
ties for our red and while corpuscles.
shooting venom in our systems with
his hypodermic gun: hustling in all
human regions, sending to the bone
yard legions, who would otherwise
keep living in this world of work and
fun. Flies are vile and vulgar crea.
lures; they drive all the world to an
ger as they WELD their deadly tools;
and they keep us mad and fretting
till We often are forgetting all the
splendid moral lessons that we learn
ed at Sunday schools. When the flies
have all been driven from this land
the joy Of livin' will (the scientists
assure us) be increased a hundred
fold; let us therefore rise and swat
'em, knock 'em endways, top and bot
tom, till they weary of their labors
and their sticky feet are cold. Swat
'em with our swatters swatty, though
the world may say were dotty, kill
them off with guns and poison, tie
some tinware to their tails; tie the em
to the stake with tethers; give them
coats Of tar and feathers; when we
find them in our village let us ride
them out on rails.-Walt Mason.

Notice to Those Having School Gar
dens

Most of the pupils having school
gardens this year. have taken go41
care OF them in spite of the long peri
od OF dry weather which made the
work seem useless at times. There
are a few gardens however, upon the
school plot that should be thoroly
Weeded and the turnips and rutabagas
should be thinned. All gardens not
IN good condition by next Wednesday
VIII be given to other pupils who will
put them in suitable shape. Prof.
W. J. Freed, our new agricultural d.
rector and myself have recently in
spected all the school gardens in the
country as well as those in town.
Tho this season has not been as IA
Vorable as last for gardening, yet we
found many gardens that were in ex-
cellent condition. We are sure some
OF them would compare favorably
with gardens grown hundreds of miles
south of Warren.
The gardens will all be inspe tied
at least once more in about month.
after which time the names Of those
winning prizes will be published.
. Very respectfully,
e. M. Mitchell.

Bought a Fine Farm

& Messrs:: Hegnes and Pfffner have
purchased the farm of Jacob Kierzek
which joins the village on the east
and expect to hold it for their own
use. They, expect to make some i'm
provements in the buildings and the
grounds and when finished it will be
one OF the most attractive farmsteads
in the Red River Valley. The farm
IS I,I most beautifully located on the
banks of the Middle River. Beautiful
groves surround the buildings and the
finest water in the country is at the
wells and natural springs.
We understand that Mr.. Kierzek
will give possession on or about the
,fifsr- Of October and will leave Argyle
for gGod. He has purchased a beau:
tiful home at Nhnot, N. D., and will
retire from extensive farming.-Ar-

Paul Marschalk, our mayor, was urg-
ed and has consented to file for the
republican nomination for representa-
tive of the 63rd legislative district.
comprising the counties of Roseau,
Kittson and Marshall. Mr.. Marschalk
is a pioneer of Northern Minnesota
and is well and favorably known thru
out the district and would make an
excellent representative for our dis
trict. He has a keen insight to the
political and economic problems of
the day and being very successful
business man would from the start
become a potent factor in needed leg
lslation for Northern Minnesota. He
is not dreamer of political or gov
ernmental theories but progressive
and business like man with practical
ideas, which his business experience
mas rlpened into an invaluable asset.
Everything considered, we know of no
one who is better qualified to repre-
sent us in the legislature and all War

power to further the interests of Mr..
Narschalk's candidacy and work for
his ultimate election.
A club, composed of local business

Change in Time in Winnipeg ssun

Announcement is made by Dr.Ss r. E
button, president of the Minnesota d
State Automobile Assn, that the m
nual reliability run which this year
goes to Winnipeg and back to the
Twin Cities, will be started August B
instead of July 25 as originally )lan-
ned. Several things are responsible
for the postponement principally the
question Of getting the sanction back
from A. A. A. headquarters in New
York and allowing for the five days
which according to the rules, must
elapse between the closing of entries
and the start Of the tour
This means a change%of dates all
along the line. Thursday morning,
Aug. s, the caravan of cars will check
out from the St. Paul Hotel, ST. Paul
and will reach Wadena on the even
iEg of the eighth for over night. Au.
gust 9th will find the tour at Thief
River Falls over night and Saturday
August 10 will see them in Winnipeg
where they will spend Sunday the
eleventh of August.
Monday night, August 12, will find
them in Grand Forks for the night. An
early start will be made Tuesday and
the tour will follow the route selected
by Pathfinder Prior in the Mitchell
Baby Six" going via Crookston, Ada,
Fargo, where lunch will be had, in to
Wahpeton and Breckenridge for the
night. Wednesday, August IA, will
give the tour the longest days run,
1884 miles to Annandale where the
summer hotels on Clearwater lake
will entertain the tour for the night.
A half days run in to Minneapolis
will wind up the journey of 1898 miles

The record price of $3.50 per hun
dred was recently paid for a carload
OF fat steers at the South st. Paul
market. This price has never before
been equalled at this market for car
load lots. Such prices for beef cattle
mean that the animals are produced
at profit to the breeder and feeder,
even at the existing high price of feed.
It is not to be expected that future
prices for well-finished cattle will re-
main as high as this. It is to be ex-
pected, however, that prices will rule
high for a long time to come. This is
lue to the fact that there is big
shortage of meat-animals of all kinds.
Severe drouth during the. past two
fears has made it necessary to dis
pose of large number of breeding
lows from the ranges and farms. A
fery strong demand for veal calves
has also cleared the country of q.
large number of calves that should
have been retained on the farms, to
be fed for beef. A great many breed
frs have during the past winter fin
shed cattle at wide margin, due to
the increased price of all classes of
cattle since a year ago. This means
that cattle-feeders have probably
made as much or more money, during
the past winter, than in any previous
year. There are many instances
where farmers have received from $40
to $50 per acre for their corn by dis
posing of it in feeding steers. This
not only means that these men made
a profit in disposing of the corn crop,
but it also means that they have re-
tanned on their farms a large amount
of fertility that otherwise would have
been disposed of and shipped out to
the markets Of the world 1t seems
safe to predict that the future is ex-
ceedingly bright for the feeding Of
beef cattle. This should be an en-
couragement to beginners, especially
where it is possible for them to pro-
duce part of the stock on their own
farms and get the cattle onto the
market at young age. It is not to
be expected that the profits will be as
large as they have been during the
past season; because, as feeders must
be purchased, they will command
higher prices than year ago. But
if they can be put onto the farms,
carried through the summer on cheap
pasture, and finished next winter on
bundle corn and other cheap feeds, it
will mean a safe disposal of the corn
crop and will put the farm in much
better conditions.

ne Reason Why Children Die
HEALTH Talks No. 5

So close is the present day connec
tion between the city and country
that the habits Of cleanliness of farm
ers, especially those who sell milk,
has close relation to the number of
deaths of young children. July, All
gust and September are the months
when the greatest number of small
children die of intestinal diseases. It
has been found that these same
months are the ones in which milk
contains the largest number Of bac-
terra, the high point in both cases be-
ing August.
The bacteria in milk which a grown
person may drink and never know it
often causes the death of children.
The bacteria cannot be seen, and un-
less attention has been called to it,
the farmer does not know how they
get in the milk. But no milk is alb
solutely free from these germs, and
they grow with marvellous rapidity,
especially il the milk is warm. This
is why milk should be cooled and
kept cool after it comes from the COW,
and of course great care should be
taken to prevent dirt of any sort on
the COW or around the milk pail. No
one wants to be even the unconscious
cause Of the death of child.

PROHIBITION CAR COMING

The Prohibition Campaign auto1no-
bile is headed this way, the party is
scheduled to speak on the streets of
this city on Saturday the goth at 1870
p. m. The party has been on the
road for month and in that time has
seen some exciting experiences. AS
would be expected, they have met
with all kinds Of roads: been pushed
into the ditch by a farmer rushing
for medical aid for his injured son,
but none the less made nearly every
date on it's schedule. It reaches on
the average Of seven towns per day
and on some days makes a total of
nine towns. It is prabably the long
est campaign trip ever made by an
automobile. The itinerary lasts for
five months and a day. it's first date
being June fourth.
The principal speaker at this point
will be A. L. Mqrkve who is known
thruout the state for the prominent
part he has taken in the politics of
the state for the past five years. No
time will be wasted in preliminaries.
The machine whirls into town, selects
a shady spot near the curb If the day
is hot or place where the auditors
can get under an awning If it is rain
ing. The bugle sounds the revelle,
the speaker begins and in forty-f1ve
minutes the political Issues Of the
hour have been injected into the
thots of the town, 50 that politics con-
tinues to be the chief interest for the
next twenty-four hours
An idea Of its daily run may be ga
thered from its schedule on the day
of it's visit here.
