HALF A MILLION FLIES
KILLED IN THIS MONTH
With Grand Prizes in Balance,
Competition for September
Will Be Keen.

Slaughter Of flies in The Stars Septem-
ber contest yesterday passed the half
million mark the exact number of insects
destroyed since the beginning of the
month being 526, 400.
Lawrence Fitzgerald continues in the
lead, but several of the other contestants
exchanged positions. Advantage is being
striven for as in none of the other con-
tests, due to the fact that the prizes are
about five times greater, and, at the
present rate, the result of the rivalry
will be in doubt until the end.
Despite the fact that he won the May,
June, July and August contests, Layton
H. Burdette Is only in sixth place, and,
though he may manage to get nearer the
top within the next few days. he will not
find the advance easy. Such competitors
as Lillian Portion, Frank Funk and VIII
liam Steiner have delivered flies regularly
since the beginning Of the month, and
they have an advantage that Will be
difficult to overcome.
Frank Funk gradually has fought his
way into second place. His score is
So. 600. Not far behind is Lillian Portion,
with the score OF $4,000, while William
Steiner is fourth with s.. 400. Mark Trice

titles him to fifth place. The score by
which Layton H. Burdette holds sixth

Record Rivalry Expected.

In midsummer a margin Of a few thou
sand flies counts for little in contest
of this nature, for the reason that the
insects exist in great numbers and heavy
deliveries of them are made frequently
by the contenders. But with the ap-
proach of cooler weather the winged
marauders will not be SO plentiful, and
the young campaigners will find 1t more
difficult to overcome the lead Of a rival
than earlier in the season. Thus the
September contest. with respect to the
competition it Is expected to develop,
should be the best Of all.
The fact that district prizes. In addi-
ton to the grand prizes. are to be
awarded again this month should not
be overlooked. These prizes are Of the
value of IS each. Contestants whose rec
ords for the season may not be sufncient
to give them a chance for the grand
prizes are not handicapped with respect
to the winning of the district awards.
