a room in the country house of Mr.
Harry Payne Whitley at Westbury

In making such decorations as these,
the artist carefully prepares his can

phones Busy.

One phase of the present activity in
cident to the next election of state Off
GERS is the tax upon the long distance
telephone facilities of the state. With
headquarters of the different parties in
this section of the state, there is an
ever-pressing demand for long distance
circuits, often times beyond the capac-
ity of the company to supply. 1t is OF
frequent occurrence since the last two
weeks to have calls to adjoining cities
delayed for Is to 80 minutes and to
more distant places 30 minutes TO an
hour. All OF this indicates the great
interest and the attention being given
the present political situation through
out the state.

CONDEMNATION OF

This, until few years ago, was Ger

il not infrequently happens that som:
animals are so common that they are
lot considered OF sufficient scientific
! interest TO be worthy of study.
OF all animals associated with
man. none is more common than the
ny; he has no attendant more con-
slant. Wherever he has travelled the
domestic fly has accompanied him.
Recent stigatiOns have shown
that We must substitute fear for
contempt" in the old adage in the
case OF this ubiquitous companion.
The house fly is not "a wholesome
little creature" as it is sometimes de-
scribed. but ii is an animal which
normally bears on its feet. legs and
body and leaves in its tracks the or
ganisms productive of decay and dis
ease.
This is the animal which nOt only
constantly dimes with US, tastes the
holesomeness of our food. but also
regales its palate with the juices of
the eXcremental products of various
animals, including man. Constant in

in spi'e of the qucStiOnings Of tLosa
who maintain the doctrine that ov-
cry creature performs some useful
purpose. undoubtedly the fly does,

potential disease carrier will be re-

1t will never become a rare insect.
but there is no reason why, by the
adoption Of such sanitary measures
as the breeding habits of the insect
have indicated to be necessary, il
should not be considerably decreased

Whereas, God in His Infinite
wisdom has seen fit to call from

sion to His holy will, we humbly
ask the dispensation of His prov

Resolved, That we, as a church,
a knowledge the loss Of one we
knew and loved, and in this man
ner express our sympathy with
the sorrow-stricken relatives of
the deceased, assuring them
that at the Throne of Grace we
have asked the dear Saviour to
