Swat That Fly"

The Food, Drug and Health
departments of a number of
States are already busy in pre-
pairing for an energetic cam
paign against the fly nuisance
In many States there are rigid
regulations in regard to screens
and to fly poisons, on the
ground that for every fly kill
ed now untold millions may
be prevented in August. As
the fly breeds once in two
weeks and is practically ready
for laying within ten days after
Matching, and since every fe-
male lays 100 eggs-half of
which are probably females-it
IS a simple problem in mathe-
MATES to figure how many
individuals will be the result
of 10 brOods. The figures, ac-
cording to DR.. Lucius P. Brown
of the Tennessee Food and
Drug department, reach the
astounding total of 5.59S.72O-
100000 allowing until September
for incubation.
Here are the figures.
April Is - The overwintering
female fly lays 100 eggs.
May 1-120 adults issue of
which 60 are females.

eggs each.

Verses l. 2.-The attractive teacher
1t was necessary that Jesus should
instruct his disciples more fully in the
deep truths Of the kingdom. The null
titudes listened to popular addresses
on elementary but essential subjects.
The profounder teaching was intended
for those who had made their decision
to life Of submission to Jesus. Only
they could understand and appreciate
the conditions for the building up of
Christian character. "He went up into
mountain" The revision translates
"the mountain" This was the hilly
region on the west of the plain of Gen
nesaret and favorite resort of Jesus.
"When he was set" when he had sat
down" This was the usual position Of
the Jewish teachers when they were
addressing an audience luke iv, 2O).
This was, however, an informal gath
ering Of "his disciples" the twelve
who had been chosen, to be with him
and to learn of him Mark iii. 13).

ulation spoken to those who reach a

the experience is one Of happiness.
Let US heartily congratulate any who
take the stand for Christ Poor in
spirit" not those who are spiritually
defective, but those who realize that
their spiritual possessions are few in
comparison with the riches of Christ.
This is the spirit Of humility in rela-

spirit Of conceit, self sufficiency and

A Call For Volunteer.

Tho Good Cheer bands of fair renown,
Who boost homo trade and boom the town,
Who brighten. build and beautify
TIL all Is pleasing to the eye.
Who sound their battlecry, "Improvs"-
They are tho lads who make things move,
The benefactors OF the land.
Then come and join the Good Cheer band.
OF old the brave knight fought and strove
And CLEANED with hardware like Q stove
He rode to seek the Holy Grail
Or lift some maiden out of JAIL
From Judah's hills to chase the hordss
That f1aunted moons and crooked swords,
And through his whiskers stoutly swors
To drown the dragon in its gore.
The modern knight swears softer oaths
And does not dress in sheet iron clothes,
And yet he has as high intent
In seeking civic betterment,
In winning for his town sueessa,
Prosperity and happiness.
And spreading sunshine through the land,
A member Of the Good Cheer band.
Come. Join the boosting brotherhood,
A soldier Of tho common good;
Become a volunteer recruit
And do not send a substitute.
In the Commercial club enlist
And be a hustling optimist.
Just smile. smile, smile. and lend hand
For progress and the Good Cheer band.

cow LIKE A BOILER.
You've Got to Keep Up Good Head Of
Steam If You Want Results,

Hoard's Dairyman quotes in the
manner below the statement OF m
Australian mechanical engineer who
had taken up dairying and says the
engineer uttered one Of the most pro-
found truths connected with dairy
farming:
Having been trained as mechani-
cal engineer. it occurred to be one day
during Il dry spell that a COW should
be treated like steam boiler. | knew
how easy it was to keep Il good head
Of steam on once it was at the right
pressure and how difficult it was to get
it up once it had been allowed to fall
away. The same plan, found. held
good with COW. AS long as she was
maintained in good condition it was
relatively easy to keep her fully nour-
ished. Once she was allowed to go
back 1t was difficult to get her in good
condition again"
Ii only We could get the dairy farm
ers of this country to see the great
and overrulinS force of that principle
it would be worth millions of dollars
to them. But they do not see it. IL
feed Is high the COW gets less. even IL
dairy products are correspondingly
high. They see only one side of the
question.

him. Then during momentary breeze
from behind a light substance touched
his hand. 1t must be a bridal veil,
was his thought.
Was the costume of a bride an un-
usual or a common one for such occa-
sions? He could not recall in all his So
cial experience having seen one \
strange influence seemed to be passing
from the girl to him. 1t came in waves,
now happiness. now grief. Whatever it
was. he did not wish it to end He took
no thought Of time. forgetting that he
was waiting for train to take him to
Lillian.
She spoke no word, nor did he wish
her to speak. His senses seemed to be
come gradually benumbed There was
a mystical mingling of chat, music
and laughter, besides the dripping Of
a fountain in the center of lawn be-
fore the hotel. Then the sounds all
melted away together
Suddenly he was awakened as from
dream by clock striking. He was still
sitting in the dark corner, and his COM
up and down the piazza, but she was
not to be seen. Had he fallen asleep
and dreamed? No; it was all too real
Then he heard train approach the
station and knew that he had not time
to reach 1t before 1t should start on
Hurrying to the hotel office. he in
quired the hour of leaving for the next
train and was shocked to hear that he
could not get away from the place till
morning.
Who was this girl who had kept him
away from his beloved, lying on a sick
bed and doubtless listening every mo-
ment to catch the sound of his step?
How could he have been so affected by
her presence as to forget the passing
time? There was nothing now for him
to do but take room and go to bed.
This he did. but not to sleep.
He rose early and went to the sta
ton. The time came for the train. but
no train came. Locomotives hurried
by, some carrying box cars, and one
bore wrecking apparatus.
"Whats the matter?" he asked Of
the station master.

II o'clock went down hundred feet

destination. Lillian was dead. She had
passed away the night before soon aft

Green Asparaqu. and White.

I grow green asparagus because there
Is steady and increasing demand for
large, choice green grass" and be-
cause it sells for Il higher price than
white asparagus, says correspondent
of Rural New Yorker. In growing
green asparagus differ from other
growers who grow white asparagus,
claiming they cut more punches per
acre. In some cases this is probably
true. However, the higher price paid
for green asparagus more than makes
up for difference in yield.

up to 60 to his wedding which
was to take place the next day,
when he received the follow
ing telegram from his betrothed's
mother:
Come at once. Lillian Is very Ill.
Snatching his hand bag, which was
ready, he hurried to the depot and took
the first train. 1t was G O'Clock in the
evening In June. On reaching N, a
large summer resort, he was mex
pressibly distressed to find that the
train went no farther. He must wait
for one that passed at II o'clock. 1t
was still twilight, and he walked to a
hotel not half a mile from the station.
The house was brilliantly lighted, while
the guests were fitting about in pic
turesque costumes preparatory to a
fancy dress ball. This was no place for
one in anxiety, but Holmes, not relish
ing waiting at the station, took wick
er chair in dark corner of lie piazza.
There he spent the evening. When Il
dance was finished couples would prom
enade on the piazza. Holmes found
1t a relief to watch them. Finally,
impatient to be again in motion, he
was about to rise and return to the
station when, glancing aside and
slightly behind him. he saw what at
first he took for sheaf of light COM
ing through window. Then he MOTTO
ed that it was Il woman. Her dress
was Of white, though of what material
he could not tell Looking up at her
face, he saw that it was masked, also
with white He would have risen, but
at the moment he felt hand rest
lightly on his shoulder.
For moment he sat still Then,
Notwithstanding the hand on the shoul-
der, he rose and faced his visitor.
You are He paused The form
seemed familiar, but there was too lit
tie light for him to identify it. She did
not answer his question. but slipped
her hand within his arm and led him
for walk. not toward the entrance,
brilliantly lighted, but to dark end of
the piazza. She did not speak, and
Holmes, who was in no mood for such
an adventure, could think Of nothing to
say to her He thought of contidinr his
anxiety to her: but. after all, she might
be stranger. One thing made him
start. On passing a chink in window
blind he noticed orange blossoms on
her head. His own wedding. set for the
morrow-would it be wedding or a
funeral? Would the flowers be orange
blossoms or tuberoses? If 1t had been
difficult for him to speak to his COM

In the good crop year. This crop insur-
ance Is procured through rotation Of
crops and stock. Rotation Of crops
brings in cultivated crops, as corn and
potatoes; legumss. ss alfalfa, clover
and peas: grasses. a. timothy. bronze
grass. wheat grassland stock to con-
vert these into higher priced products,
as beef, butter, pork or eggs, and ma
nure.
The cultivation given corn or pota-
toes kills weeds. cures plant diseases
and saves moisture. The legumes and
grasses crowd weeds, starve plant dis
eases and add humus. The legumes
also add nitrogen.
while the cultivated crops, the leg
umes and the grasses are preparing
the land for grain they make crops
worth fully as much as an ordinary
grain crop. And, again, II these crops
are fed to live stock the profit from
them can be increased several fold.
1.-The grain crop that is grown in ro-

and grasses is greatly increased in the
good crop years and is insured for the
poor crop years.

Knowing that this paper reach
es homes where there are little
children, l am writing my sad
experience, says woman cor
respondent Of Farm and Ranch.
My chickens took sorehead. l
doctored them with carbolic acid
and cottonseed oil and cured
them. In a few days my little
girl took diphtheria. We had
two physicians, one Icing our
county physician. All that med
ical skill could do was done, but
We lost our precious darling. AS
there was no diphtheria in our
neighborhood, we couldn't under
stand where she had caught it.
The physician asked If we had
any sorehead chickens. We told
him we had. He said, There is
where 1t came from"
Since our trouble l have talk
ed to several others who have
had the same experience. But
there are hundreds of parents
over our country as ignorant on
this subject as we were, who
wouldn't give one of their sweet
little ones for all the chickens
