places is merely matter OF cleauii
ness, for the fly is scavenger,
lover of filth and an habitual follow:
er after all that is unclean and un'
wholesome. Clean houses, gardens
and yards, clean streets and alley
ways discourage the fly in its breed
ing proclivities, and therefore the doc
trine of cleanliness is to be preached
by the anti-fly crusaders, along with
the sermons on the deadly character
Of the insect.
And carrying out the fourth step Ill
the house furnishing stores in the city
will be asked to carry in stock and
push the sale of fly traps, marvellous
little wire screen houses to be baited
with milk, wherein fly once entrap-
ped is doomed. With the campaign
of education will be given complete
instructions for the use Of the fly
trap, which may be placed on porches
or window stills, on garbage pals =
anywhere that flies are likely to con.
gregate, but always on the outside OF
the house-always outside. Catch the
fly outside of the house before 1t has
a chance to come in and spread its
poison and disease.
This city is to be divided into dis
tricts and each district divided again
into clans and clubs, and from each
center, small or large, branches will
reach out, graphing with the subject
in whatever way seems best adapted
to that individual section.
Death to the fly is to be the battle
cry. It is to be fight of man against
his enemy the fly and of the Fly
against man.-Cleveland Leader.

To Make a Flyless City

Cleveland is to be classed and cata'
logued as a flyless town. In the cam
paign inaugurated for the extermina'
ton of the fly four steps are outlined:
First. To educate the people as 20
the deadly nature OF the fly.
Second: To kill off all winter flies
those hidden about the houses, wait
ing their season of forage.
Third: To do away with all breed
ing places for flies.
Fourth; To trap all flies that hap
pen to escape.
AS the first step addresses on the
subject are being made before the va
rious women's clubs and in the
schools of the city. Circulars and
booklets will be distributed among
the children of the schools, to be car
ried by them to their homes; posters
and illustrated bulletins will be plac
ed in the schools, in the street cars
and other public places, carrying the
sermon of the fly reform.
The determination OF the winter fly
is a problem for the individual house
keeper. Don't let one fly escape you
Hunt for them and kill them, for the
winter fly is the most dangerous o.
the race. The winter fly is the meth

Possibilities Of Goat
Raising in United States

Five hundred million goat skins
have been imported into the United
States during the last decade, AMI
the money sent out of the country 10

lion dollars. The figures of the Bd
reau of Statistics, Department of
Commerce and Labor, show that the
goat skins imported into the United
I;ates have ranged in value from 90
million to 80 million dollars per an
mum during the last decade, making
total for the period in question of
slightly more than $50 million dol
lars. The number of goats whose
skins are represented by this 250
million dollars is approximately 500
million, since the average value of
the goat skins now being imported IS,
according to the figures of the Blu.

each, the valuations being those IN

FRATERNALISM Isl
e Cooperation

President Taft has sent to congress
an edifying message dealing with he
success of cooperation i'm various
countries of Europe, especially France
and Belgium. He transmitted the re.
ports of American consuls on this
subject.
Through such consuls we have Lad
similar reports in the past from Eng.
land. where the Consumers League
is powerful, and where cooperative
stores have for years been growing
in importance. The American mer-
chant, however, has in foresight and
enterprise been equal to the task Of
restricting cooperative buying Of
household supplies to those sections
which afford no adequate field for
the modern, up-to-date retail mercan.
tile establishment, sections which
have storekeepers, possibly, but no
merchants.
Yet America in her great fraternal
beneficiary societies affords the world
its greatest examples of cooperation
New Zealand has state insurance, to
be sure, but 1t is barren of the fra.
ternal feature, which is possible only
to the voluntary association. The
much-condemned college and high
school fraternities of the United
States have at least one merit, and
this an important one. They do dc,
velop among their members those gen.
erous and noble emotions of loyalty,
helpfulness and kindness which we
call esprit.
This is but another name for CO.
operation that has as it's object not
selfish advantage, but the welfare of
the lodge, camp, organization or com.
munity. The town development, the
city beautiful and the social welfare
movements, what are they but ey.
amples of cooperation in forms less
selfish, and therefore more noble,
than our consuls in foreign lands have
cited?
We have social organizations, such
as the Elks, the Eagles and the Mys-
tic Shriners, which aim to take their
members away from the pursuit of
selfish gain long enough to remind
them of the obligations and joys OF
good fellowship. But greatest of all
are those immense fraternal institu-
tons, such as the Modern Woodmcn
of America, the Odd Fellows, the a.
o. U. W., ETC., which have by reason
of the number and the situation of
their members the greatest opportun.
ity for cooperative enterprises, es-
pecially those relating to social vel.
fare.
These fraternities are gradually
showing greater recognition of their
opportunities. AS social agencies
they are vastly more powerful than
the colleges, which do not and can
not reach the common people Of the
contemporary generation. They are
potentially, and in our time will be-
come actually, the schoolmasters Of
Americas adult population. They
are destined to perform the impor-
tant university extension work of the
coming generation and to constitute
the nations mightiest federation for
the social welfare and advancement
of the common people.
