PUPILS WILL
EXTERMINATE THE FLY

A fly trap has been invented that
is world beaten for getting flies and
never letting them go again. 1t is
simple in construction and Clearly to
operate, easily unloaded and no trou.
BILE to set again. 1t has proven the
most effective exterminator of flies
that has yet been discovered to treat
them after they are Matched and ac-
tive, and the pupils of the Blackfoot
schools are planning to make lot OF
them in the manual training depart
ment to be sold at cost of the mater
ials used in their construction.
Some of the first ones made will
be placed on exhibition in store win
[dows, and persons interested can
leave orders with Prof. Vanderhoof.
This is not money making move,
but is one of those useful things so
often done by the manual training
and domestic science departments of
the schools that have been of great
value to the communities.
A year and half ago this paper
stated that if the Village Improve
ment society ever undertook to de
fly-er-ize" Blackfoot, the job would
be completed without hitch, and
now that the schools have opened the
way, there is prospect that it may
work out automatically. The matter
is up to you, but do not let this him
der you from preventing the flies
from Matching around your place. II
you have any rubbish in which flies
may be Matching, stir it up and let
them die-asbornin' If you have been
in the habit of throwing Stops out in
your yard or dumping them into a
vessel where flies may feast, change
the plan; dig hole in the ground
Is or 20 inches deep, keep an old
shovel by the hole, and whenever you
throw out Stops, put them in the hole
and throw little dirt over so the
fly family cannot get a meal. When
the hole is filled, dig new one. Burn
the greasy things that dogs may come
and dig for, and the dogs will cease
to trouble you.
