"SWat the fly

The fly used to be so common
place and intimate that his very
familiarity bred contempt.
No one ever thought that the
ordinary house fly could be dan
gerous.
Now, doctors and health Of
fcers are keenly awake on the
lily subject.
/ They have put the fly under
suspicion.
Swat the fly" is the slogan OF
the Health Department of every
lefty.
AS vehicle. the fly's carrying

germs of every description.
Think of a single fly being able
to carry six million enemies of
health.
Wherever a fly walks it leaves
a trail of these germs and wher-
ever it flies it leaves a trail
through the air.
Flies were once considered sea-
vengers. School boys were told
mot to kill them. Yet it is be-
cause they are scavengers that
they are so dangerous.
The innocent fly that walks
across your plate comes from hea-
ven knows where. But you can
depend upon it that its birth place
was unspeakably dirty, for baby
flies are maggots and they are
born only in putrescent matter.
Clean your home-clean every
window and door and if you have
a stable, screen the manure pile
because it is here that most file:

existing. Remember it takes fly
leggs eight days to hatch.

COMMENCEMENT AT
MASSANUTTEN ACADEMY

Inc commencement program a
Massanutten Academy has been favor
cd with finer weather than usual anl
the general report would indicate tina
this commencement is proving to be
one OF the finest in the history of tn,
school. Lack of space at this lat,
hour forbids giving details of the ex-
ercises, but all HAYS been eminentl,
successful and have met with popular
approval.
The sermon to the students by DR.
Theo. F. Herman on Sunday evening
was an able discourse on 1.-The subject
of power" Not material power
not necessarily mental power, but
spiritual power-which will most fully
interpret life and develop character,
was the theme of the speaker. DR.
Herman is scholar of pronounced
character and gave evidence of his
worth as teacher in the Theological
Seminary at Lancaster, Pa.
| The Haymakers on Monday night
seemed to captivate the audience.
This entertainment was unusual
among entertainments given in Wood
stock, and came as a great surprise
to even the most expectant. The
universal verdict is that it was one of
the most enjoyable things seen or
heard in Woodstock for long time.
The house was packed and about S75
were realized towards the erection of
the new stone fence. The chorus of
&c people drew constant attention and
applause from pleased audience of
300 or more. The stage was set in
hay making fashion and the costumes
were in similar style. Individual
credit can not be given too laylshly
to the work of the soloists as we'll as
the chorus.
The board of trustees met on Tues
day. Several vacancies in the board
were filed by the election of DR.. J. M.
Schick, Washington, D. c., as Presi-
dent of the Board, Mr.. Charles J.
Seibert, Martinsburg, W. Va, and
Rev. Milton W hitener, of Timber
vile to membership. The board
passed upon important business rela-
tive to the work of the institution and
planned larger and 4 fuller de-
yelopment of its future life. Presi-
dent H. j, Benchoff reported an at
tendance of 81 students during the
year. Resolutions of respect were
passed upon the death of the former
President, DR.. J. A. Hoffheins, Mar
In the evening the students
of the music department gave very
creditable recital under the direction
of their teachers, the Misses Broad
dus.
The oratorical contests on Wednes-
day were interesting. The Senior
medal was won by Harrison P. Ma
gruder of Woodstock. Charles C,
Haun received honorable mention.
Paul Stonesifer of Mt. Crawford won
the Junior medal. Rev. W. S. Kuhns
and Prof. c. V. Shoemaker were the
judges.
Glass day exercises in the afternoon
were amusing and brought forth
many laughs.
In the evening the annual play was
given to even larger audience than
heard the Haymakers. n ''Three Hats"
formed the means of many compiled,
tons which kept the audience in glee
from start to finish. Mr.. VIM. Cal
vert, as usual, won the honors of the
occasion. with Mrs. M. G. Clapp as a
close second. AS we go to press the
commencement prog ram is yet to be
given.

at last this was done he propped
him against a wall and proceeded
to attire the horselin chest-piece

Portland, Ore, Feb. 22.-In
''Buddy" Ryan of Portland the
Coast League is sending a fast
outfelder to the big brush. He is
sure to make good, barring I'm
forseen accidents.
Ryan has been the star out
fielder of the fast Portland team
for the past three seasons, during
which he has been an important
factor in winning two pennants
for his team.
He goes to the Cleveland team
in the American league and he
will be worthy mate in the out
field to the famous Joe Jackson.

Ryan is the most consistent;
hitter the CoastLeague ever pro-
duced. He led the league in bait,
ting by wide margin up to the
time he suffered injury to his
right hand. = -,
His services were so badly
needed by his club that he batted
with one hand for while and
under these difficulties made sew
eral long drives, something prac-
tically unheard of in baseball. -
Ryan is almost as sensational
as an outfelder as he is with the
stick; and his throwing is sure to
make a hit with the fans. He is
fast on the bases, is even temper
ed and an easy man to handle.
