BOTH FAIRS GET MONEY
NEW BILL GIVES BOTH FAIR AS
sOCIATIONS IN COUNTY
STATE AID

A bill, introduced by Representative
L. w. Vasaly, which provides for an
appropriation up to $1,000 for each
society, where there are two agricul-
tural associations in the county, passed
both houses Of the legislature and is
up to the governor for his signature.
By the passage Of this bill, the fair
which is held at Motley and the one
held in Little Falls will both be en-
titled to- the appropriation from the
state. AS decided by the court last
year, the Motley oranization was de-
clared the senior organization, thereby
cutting out the organization holding
fairs here from state aid. The law was
introduced to correct this. Five other
counties were affected likewise, and
will benefit from the new law.
Representative Vasaly is being COM
mended for the successful outcome OF
the bill.

STATE ENToMoLoaIsT WASH
BURN GAVE INsTRUCTIVE
# TALK AT VICTOR

DR.. F. -. Washburn, state entomolog-
ist, gave q very instructive and en-
pertaining lecture at the Victor
theratre Wednesday evening, the sub
iect Of which was 'tSwat the Fly
Owing to the ,inclement weather the
attendance was not very large but an
appreciative audience was present.
IN opening his lecture he spoke on
the danger Of allowing flies to breed
and germinate, telling how they carry
the germs from sick to healthy people,
from dead to live animals and to the
different food stuffs.
The lecture was illustrated by a
number of lantern slides and these
painly showed the filth connected
with the fly.
He dwelt especially on the different
kinds Of flies and pointed out that the
stable fly is the most dangerous, be-
cause Of it's bite. He stated that these
flies carry the germs of the most dead
ly nerve diseases ever known. II
stables were properly protected by
screens and with less filth about them,
it would be of great benefit to the
community. "
A number of slides were shown,
taken from alleys and bad streets in
different cities and the Importance Of
keeping these clean was especially
emphasized. He also showed pictures
of dairy farms that were encircled by
swamps and where manure piles were
allowed to accumulate. These con-
ditions he said, would naturally cause
germs to come in contact with milk,
milk containers and pals.
Fly traps Of many varieties were
exhibited and he explained the better
way Of attaching them to garbage
cans, stable doors and house doors so
as to entice the flies to them. A
number of faulty traps were also
shown which were not recommended.
After the talk on flies and their re-
lation to disease he showed several
slides of moths and butterflies and
gave considerable information as TO
their habits.
The lecture was we'll received by
those present and favorable weather
would undoubtedly have brought a
packed house. 80

-COMMENDED BY STATE
AUDITOR

Minneapolis Journal: Burton F. Case,
Fountain, Mimi, for seven years a
land examiner and timber cruiser in
the land department. of the state au-
ditor's office, today was announced
chief land clerk in the office to sue
ceed Sinclair E. Atkins, who died

The appointment is promotion for

sidered in the appointment save Mr..
Case s particular fitness for the place.
"Mr. Case is the son Of O. H. Case,
a well known surveyor and civil en-
gineer and, when a young man had
considerable practical experience work
ing with his father,' said Mr.. Iver-
son. ''F'or nine years he was employed
at Fargo. He spent two years survey
ing in the Red Lake reservation. He
has an intimate personal knowledge of
land conditions in northern Minnesota.
! The main work attached to the chief
land clerk s position is the manage
ment Of the timber resources Of state,
school, university and swamp lands.
Mr.. Atkins had been connected with
the department. for eighteen years, dur
ing great part Of the time in direct
charge of the timber business, SO it
will be difficult for a new man for
some time to before familiar with the
many details Of so large a business, but
the training admirably fits him to un-
dertake that work: -
