!: A FLY CATECHISM

The following questions and answers
were prepared by the Indiana state

spelling books used in the graded
schools of the city:
Where is the fly born? In manure
and filth.
Where does the fly live? In every
kind of filth.
LIS anything too filthy for the fly to
eat? No.
Where does he go when he leaves the
surface closet and the manure pile and
the spittoon? Into the kitchen and
dining room.
What does he do there? He walks
on the bread, fruit and vegetables. He
wipes his feet On the butter and bathes
in the milk.
Does the fly visit the patient sick
with typhoid fever, consumption and
cholera infantum? He does, and he
may call on you next.
Is the fly dangerous? He is mans
worst pest and more dangerous than
wild beasts or rattIesnakes.
What disease does the fly carry? He
carries typhoid fever, consumption and
summer complaint. How? On his
wings and hairy feet What is his
correct name? Typhoid fly.
Did he ever kill any one? He killed
more American soldiers during the
Spanish American war than did the
bullets of the Spaniards.
Where are the greatest number of
cases of typhoid fever. consumption
and summer complaint? Where there
are the most flies
Where are the most flies? Where
there is the most filth.
Why should we XIII the fly? Be-
cause he may kill US.
When shall we kill the fly? Kill him
before he gets wings. Kill him when
he is magget in the manure pile
Kill him while he is in the egg state.
How? Keep the stables dry and
clean and don't allow any manure to
stay on the premises longer than one
week. Have all other filth and trash
accommodating on your premises remov-
ed or burned at least once week.
If your neighbor fails to comply with
these rules and allows flies to breed on
his premises to visit you, screen your
doors and windows and keep them out

VAST LAKE OF SOLID SODA
Remarkable Discovery at Lake Magadl

Cleared Up.

Wonderful as have been the reports
Of fhe vast soda deposit at Lake Ma
gadi in East Africa, the tendency
hitherto has been to deem the stories
fantastic. Now, however, the mystery
is cleared up by the report Of an expe-
dition which penetrated quite to the
interior of Britains remote possession
las far, indeed, as Is miles from the
frontier of German East Africa. The
ascertained facts, according to the
Chemical News, are more surprising
than the first. reports. What, in the
case of an ordinary lake, would be
water consists at Magadi of solid
deposit of soda, with a hard surface
looking like pink marble. During the
wet season-which in this region is
very short-the surface Is covered
with few inches of water. Immedi-
ateIy after the cessation of the rains
the whole of the surface becomes dry
with the exception of margin about
30 yards WIDE Even during the wet
season the amount of water on the
surface In no way renders imprac-
ticable the working of the deposit. For
many years Indians from Nairobi,
who use this soda for washing pur-
poses and as snuff, have been remov-

Gus basis.
At the opening of this school on
the 1st Monday in October, a local

he meant that he would accept the

but that he would not become act

letters he has written TO friends de-

The tax rolls of MuItnomah coun-
ty show that Jonathan Bourne, SEN
Tor senator from Oreon, and candi-
date for reelection pays taxes in
this state to the stupendous amount
of $2.44 on personal property of the
value of 500 consisting of an office
desk and furniture in his office in
the Chamber of Commerce building,
Portland. His home according to
the registration books, is ION the Sec
ond floor of the Portland hotel, but
the tax books do not show that he
has any personal property there and
there is no real property in Multi
nomah county assessed in his name.
Yet this wonderfully progressive cit
izen, this champion of Oregon and
her rights, asks the people of the
state to keep him in office for
another term! He has an office in
Portland, but the dust of months
lies thick upon his desk and cobwebs
wind in shimmering threads across

Ben Selling Is man who does
things for his state. His holdings
in real and personal property in

National Mohair Growers association
has handled 100000 pounds of a
short six months clip from the
Southwest, (what is known as the
fall clip at an average price of S5
cents, and one mill had a buyer in
New Mexico who bought $4,000
pounds and paid 95 cents for it at
the railroad then had to pay the
freight on it to Boston which was
$2,67 per hundred pounds, while the
freight rate from Portland to Boston
is $3.50 per hundred. Now mind
you, this was paid for the six months
clip (very short). All of Oregon
mohair is 12 months growth and is
worth much more than the six
months, for the II months growth
is all combing, while the short clip
has very little that will go into the
combing. Now, if the short clip
brings S5 cents, then the Oregon mo-
hair should bring 40 cents, and it
will, if the grower does not get scar
ed and let the buyers get the best of
him. Every grower of mohair
should join the National association
and ship his mohair to our Boston
warehouse, and then they would get
what it was worth. it being graded
and sold by grades and not as a pool.
Yours truly.
