The city authorities have organized a
campaign in which they have enlisted
the school children by paving 10 cents
per hundred for all flies killed. Thus
every pupil who can deliver hundred

equivalent to hundred killed later

while 10 cents per hundred is a sum-

enter the campaign, it is still cheap

as one of the most dangerous pests Of

A second knock at the door made Harley swing round
breathessly. AS Miss Chisholm entered the room,
