Meerschaum has sometimes been

Discomfort. =

The lawyer roundly curses
The business he is in;
The poet damns his verses
And claims they keep him thin;
The cop would be a tailor,

The farmer be sailor,
The sailor tend the crop.
The journalist declares he
Would sell cigars instead;
The speculator swears he
Would keep an oyster bed.
In veryoccupation
The people seem to throB
To try some new vocation

With venom and with gall;
And yetthey're sticking to it;

ROOSEvElT'S BATTLE
MAY SOON Be STARTED
Campaign Carrying Him Into
Nearly All States Is
Probable.

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, July 12.-Within
less than a fortnight Col. Roosevelt prob
ably will begin the campaign trips which
are to carry him into almost every state
of the Union before the November elec-
ton. Although he has not reached a
final decision. he expects to leave Oyster
Bay week after next Kansas, Iowa and
Michigan are tentatively on the program.
He may also attend the Chicago conven-
ton of the new progressive party.
The purpose Of Col. Roosevelt's trip. II
it is made, will be to tour states in which
primaries will soon be held to nominate
republican presidential electors.
Colonel's Statement.
i've been asked to go to the three
states to take part in the primaries cam
paign," he said. Il have not definitely
made I'D my mind. Both the Roosevelt
and Taft forces are going to make q fight
at the primaries, and each of them has
announced in advance that 1t will not
aniae by the result in case 1t is beaten
The fight will be to see which SIDE VIII
have to name its candidates for presl-
dental electors by petition instead OF
having them on the republican ticket
'.The primaries in these states VIII pc
held before long, and if I make the trip,
I shall leave in ten or twelve Gays.
Not Eager to Leave.
Col. Roosevelt is not eager to leave
Sagamore Hill during the heat OF mid
summer. There is much to be done at
home, moreover In the way OF superin-
tending the organization of the third
party and reducing to working basis his
ideas in regard to economic and social
reforms which he wishes to use in ms
campaign. With what he regards as the
greatest fight of his life ahead. however
he has decided to put aside other con,
siderations If he deems it necessary ana
begin his personal campaign this month.
Col. Roosevelt indicated that during the
campaign he expects to speak to more
persons than almost any other candidate
in the history Of the country. He says he
will campaign in the south as vigorously
as in the north. It is largely through this
personal appeal that Col. Roosevelt hopes
to carry the day.
This is q crusaders fight" he said. Il
have told men who offered to so with us
that they should not do SO unless the fire
was burned into their souls"

Industrial Home School Anti-Flv
Club Decides to Build Mammoth
Fly Traps.

With more than million slaughtered
flies to his credit, Lawrence Fitzgerald
this month has made the best record
of any competitor who has participated
in the two annual anti-fly campaigns
conducted by The Star.
Fitzgerald's total score to date is
100000. There is every reason for
believing that he may destroy three
millions Of the insects before the month
is over. At present he has lead of
$4,000 points over his closest COM
petitor. Layton H. Burdette.
Another half million flies were turned
in by the various contestants yester-
day, bringing the slaughter for. the
first eleven days of July up to 3,738, 900.
The four million mark should be passed
tomorrow.
Lillian Portion Increases Score.
Although William Steiner J. Mark
Trice and Walter Thought failed to de-
liver any insects yesterday, they still
continue in third. fourth and fifth posi-
tions. Lillian Portion, who is in sixth
place increased her score by 27.2OO points.
The scores of the six leaders are the
following: Lawrence Fitzgerald, !, ,1O1 600;
Steiner. 4O7, 200; ]. Mark Tr;ce. 331, 200;
Walter Thought, go, 400, and Lillian Por-
ton, 23S, CO.,

Expect to Catch $4,000 a Day.

1t is estimated that on warm day the
large trap will catch $4,000 of the pests.
The boys in the school make traps in the
manual training shops, where all of the
necessary tools are found.
Fitzgerald will use every effort to keep
at the top all month. He now uses
eighteen small traps, and as the race
progresses will add to his equipment. He
is working unassisted.. and has his work
so perfectly systematized that he can
handle many more traps by working just
little longer each day.
The two leaders in the July race. Fitz-
gerald and the Industrial Home School,
are now each averaging more than 100000
flies daily, Notwithstanding the fact that
the fly market has been materially less
ened by the recent rains.

Build Anti-Fly Traps.

The Industrial Home School Anti-fy
Club. finding that it cannot overcome
the lead Of Fitzgerald in the campaign
by using "swatters' only, has decided
to build number of mammoth fly
traps, with which the club expects to
catch flies in such great quantities that
the Home School will again take the
lead, which it held for so long
The first trap, which was made by
Burdette, president of the club, is
probably the largest in the world. 1t
is six feet long, two feet high and two
feet wide. The trap was completed
yesterday afternoon and within a few
hours $4,000 flies were caught 1t is
made Of ordinary wire screening and
has one cone-shaped entrance through
which the flies enter in a stream. Fish
heads are used as bait. Other traps Of
various sizes and shapes are being
constructed. The swatting will be
continued with the usual vigor and
the club will appoint a special squad
to bait and clean the traps.
