kerosene emulsion wash, miscible oils,
and the whale-oil soap solution. Of
these four sprays, the whale-oil soap
solution is the easiest to prepare, and
gives excellent results.
If whale-oil SOAP is used, the potash
brand is to be preferred and it should
not contain more than 80 per cent of
water The soap should be dissolved
in hot water and this solution should
then be diluted so as to contain "A
pound of the soap to every four gal
Ions of water. Homemade soap, or
any good laundry soap, is often as ef-
fectlve as whale-oil soap, and may be
used in place of it.
If the diluted kerosene emulsion is
used. it should be prepared as follows:
Dissolve one-half of a pound of the
whale-oil soap in a gallon of boiling
water and remove this from the fire;
add two gallons of kerosene to the
soap solution while the latter is still
hot aid stir the resulting mixture I'M
TIL a creamy solution results. This So
luton is known as the stock solution
and should be diluted at the rate of
a gallon of the stock solution in about
six gallons of water.
In spraying, speci;l care should be
exercised to cover the tree or shrub
thoroughly with the solution, and in or
der to do this, some sort of a spray
pump nozzle is necessary.

To Kill Flies

To clear a room of flies, pep per and and sugar may be used in this way: Heat a shovel or any similar article and drop thereon pepper and white sugar, letting it dissolve. The fumes circulating through the room will kill the flies.
 A cheap and perfectly reliable fly poison; one which is not dan gerous to human life, is bichro- mate of potash in solution. Dis solve one dram, which can be bought at any drug store, in two of water, and add a little sugar. Put some of this solution in shallow dishes and distribute them about the house.
 Sticky fly paper and liquid poisons are among the, things to use in killing flies, but the lat est, cheapest and best is a solu- tion of formalin or formaldehyde in water. A spoonful of this liquid put into a quarter of a pint of water and exposed in the room will be enough to kill all the flies.
 To quickly clear the room where there are many flies, burn pyrethrum powder in the room. This stnpefies the flies and they may be swept up and burned. Forest and Stream.

State School
 Fund Cut Short

The schools of Arizona find themselves in a serious position because the state tax commission failed to make a levy for the state support of the schools in addition to the amount raised by county taxation.
 The commission was author ized to levy $500, 1000 for the SUD- port of the schools. After de- ducting the sum of expense of the state superintendent of in- struction, the balance of the fund was to be apportioned to the counties.
 The commission has as its, ex- cuse the ambiguity" of the statute relating to the apportion- ing of the fund among the coun- ties. Another reason is that the school board decided not to put the free text book law into effect this year.
 The tax commission also ne- glected to order the levy of $2500 authorized for each of the high schools.

The Mountain States Tel. & Tel. Go. Sell Their Hold ings In Navajo And
 Apache Counties

On last Thursday a deal wa:
 made here between Vim. B
 Woods. Lloyd c. Henning anC
 Fred W. Nelson and the Noun. tain States Telephone & Tele
 graph Go. whereby all of the
 holdings of that company in
 Navajo and Apache Counties
 passed into the hands and con-
 trol of the above named gentle
 men. they having purchased the
 property outright from the above
 name company. A brief state
 ment describing the property
 may be of interest to our readers.
 In 1907 F. w. Nelson organized
 a stock company incorporated
 under the name of Arizona Elec-
 ric- Telephone Co. it being built
 and equipped under the manage
 ment and direction of MT. Nelson and was the first extensive Tele- phone system in this section of Arizona. After it's successful operation for about four years the system was purchased by the Overland Tel. & Tel. Co. whose headquarters was at Phoenix. About this time the Overland Company incurred heavy indebt- edness on account of installing an entirely new and expensive automatic system in the city of Phoenix, this together with other ill-timed purchases involv- ed them in financial difficulties from which they could not ex- tricate themselves, so that just at the time the company was about to go into a Receivers hands, the Mountains States Company offered to take over the entire Overland system at a ridiculously low figure, which owing to the unfortunate condi- ton of the affairs of the Over land Company. its Board of directors and bondholders decid- ed to accept rather than to lose all. The Mountain States Tel. 6 Tel. Go. took charge of the Over land property on July 29. 1912, which incluned the system locally known here as the Nelson lines". Representatives of the Mountain States Co. made an in- spection of their lines in Navajo and Apache Counties, and while they considered the property of good value, it being disconnected from their main lines at present made it difficult for them to operate at long range. and this was principal reason that induced them to sell the property to the above named parties. The exact consideration was not ascestain- ed, but it sold at a sacrifice.
 The new owners are all men in the building up and development of this section of the country, and they mean to make their new acquisition of this Telephone system connected most all important towns in the towns in the two Counties now, but there are many nearby set Elements and ranches that have for a long time wished to be connected with the system, and those things will be looked into by the new management and everything possible will be done to increase the efficiency of the service and the new owners hope to merit a liberal patronage of the public.
