SWAT THE FLY
Agricultural Department Des.
cribes the Most Dam
gerous Flies

Washington, July 24.-Flies of
every species and the a~nDoyances they
cause man and beast as we'll as their
capacities for spreading disease are de-
scribed in detail in the year book Of
the department of agriculture.
Horseflies, gsdhies and earfiies, the
botfiy. the hornHy. the housefiy and
the stable fly have been made the
subject of careful study by the de-
partment of agriculture experts and
are certain to be more feared by citi.
zens when the damage which they are
capable of causing is better understood
and appreciated by the public.
To the group of insects known as
horsefiies. gadHies and earfies is at
tributed the transmission Of certain
blood diseases of live stock. Among
the most important Of these is the
deadly disease known as anthrax.
Bottles burrow into the flesh of hors-
es and cattle, while the hornfiy, one of
the most injurious insects In the coun.
try. also confines its attack principally
to live stock. The losses sustained are
entirely due to the worriment and irri-
tation produced by the bites Of the fly
and by extraction Of blood.
The stable fly, a close relative Of the
housefiy, Is distinguished from the lat
ter by its prominent piercing mouth
parts. AL animals. including man.
are attacked by this insect.
The beat way to prevent the stable
fly, the government authorities point
out. is to destroy the breeding places
Of the insects. Refuse should not be
allowed to collect In stables, while
structures In which horses and cows
are housed should be screened the same

DfPOS|TORS MAY
BE PAID IN FULL
GRAFT CHARGES DENIED
OFFICERS OF DEFUNCT BANK
DECLARE THERE is MONEY
TO PAY ALL.

Forrest City, Aug 1.-The furry
and excitement started here Saturday
on account of the failure of the Bank
of Forrest City, has not yet subsidized.
The suspension of this bank will prove
far-reaching in its effect, and from
the highest to the lowest among the
citizenship throughout this section of
the state are still discussing the fail
ure.
1t is pretty generally conceded
fact also that many exaggerated sto-
ries of losses being circulated cannot
be substantiated and that a number
of the charges and criticisms made
against the prominent officials and the
leading citizens connected with the de-
funct bank are unjust.
County Judge E. A. Rolfe, president
of the Bank of Forrest City, in dis
cussing the failure, said that he was
not 'broke" and that he could raise
100000. He also stated that his
brother, F. D. Rolfe, of Cross county,
was worth 100000, which he had of
fered him and placed at his disposal
for the purpose of clearing up and
paying off all the Indebtedness of the
defunct bank. President E. A. Rolfe
stated that nobody connected with the
bank had stolen anything and that
every depositor in the Bank of For
rest City would be paid in full-dollar
/ for dollar, even to the last dime due
and for which the bank was obligated.
| 1t was also stated here today that
Eugene Williams, cashier of the Bank
of Forrest City, was estimated to be
worth $4,000 in excess of all indebt-
edness, and that he had said that ev-
cry dollar of his property would 60
in to save the depositors and liquidate
the banks obligations.
Judge S. H. Mann, the receiver for
the Bank of Forrest City, says he can
make no comprehensive statement
with reference to the affairs of the
bank now closed until the books are
audited.
Judge Rolfe said the depositors
should not lose one dime, and branded
as false and slanderous the charges
that he had heard to the effect that
the Bank of Forrest City had put up
any money to assist in paying the eX-
penses of the campaign of Judge G.
W. Hays for governor.
The public is hanging upon every
scrap of news and every expression
made that has any reference to the
affairs of the defunct bank, but sever
al days must elapse, or until the re-
ceiver complies his statement, before
anything really authentic or any def
mite facts can be reported.

Delaware grange, No. SO, in 1872. This
is a grange that never surrendered its
charter in those trying days of the
seventies, and Mr.. Reardon has been
continuously member ever since. He
was steward of the Kansas state
grange for eight consecutive years and
was then elected state master. where
he served for six years. During that
period Kansas was passing through the
wave of popullsm that nearly swamped
many Of the organizations of the state,
but under Mr.. Reardon's guidance the
grange was kept intact and its work
steadily maintained.
He then served as chaplain Of the
state grange for four years and was
then elected q member of the executive
committee for three years. Follow
ing that, Mr.. Reardon was chosen state
lecturer and has served in that capac-
ity for six years. Very reluctantly did
he consent to return again to the mas
ter's chair, but he certainly brings to
1t rare experience and has probably
a record of service, in official positions
in his state grange. held by no other
state master in the country.
