BAXTER.

BAXTER, Dec 19-Farmers are
taking advantage of the good weather
to plow for corn next spring.
Mr. Editor, permit me to offer a
few suggestions on the manners Of
school children: Children in the pull
lie schools should be taught deport-
ment. This is an absolute necessity
if the future men and women are to
have any breeding or good manners.
TO prove this assertion, II is only
uecessary to observe the children %
today. Apparently they are given No
training in the home, at all The
majority Of them are like little say
ages SO far as good manners so
The public school is the great train
ing ground for the child, and while
the little one is being given an edu-
cation, WHY not teach it good mar
ners? Something along this line must
be done. Perhaps it might be possible
20 have a training school for parents.
whatever is decided upon. children
must be given soJae training in good
manners. If we expect to save the
America Of the future from being
the most uncouth nation on the earth.
Yours truly,

At 10 minutes TIL II Saturday
distressing accident occurred on
the Bender farm, near North Mar
tinsburg, which cost Raleigh Myers.
the 15-year-old son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Robert Myers, Of the cannery Boom,
his life.
Young Myers, together with Horace
n. Kelley and Reno Haus left their
homes to enjoy hunt on the Bender
farm. After spending some sime un-
probably they started for home, and
upon reaching a gate decided to rest.
While sitting on the gate they dis
cussed the question of shooting some
dogs. and we're about to embark up
on heir new undertaking when the
accident occurred.
Myers carried a single-barrel shot
gun, and when he climbed upon the
gate placed it between his legs. In
some unknown manner it slipped, the
hammer striking a cross piece on
the gate and discharged it, The en-
tire contents of the gun struck him
squarely little above the left nip
pie, pierced the heart, broke the
fourth rib and lodged behind the LETT
shoulder blade.
His companions stated when the
gun was discharged Myers fell and
groaned once. He died instantly,
they said Albert Johnson, first
cousin of Myers was in the adjoin-
ing field, and stated he heard the re-
port OF the gun and saw the unfortu-
nate boy fall. He hurried to the
scene and upon arriving found the
lad dead
One of the boys rushed to his
home, and notified his father, who
went to the place in his automobile
and took the body home. but in the
meantime the victims parents had
been notified of the unhappy occur
renee. DR.. E. H. Bhner was sum
moned, and after an examination
pronounced the boy dead. He then
called DIR. osburn. county coroner,
who responded.
Upon reaching She home the doc
tor heard the statements OF Albert
Johnson, Horace N. Kelley and Reno
Haus. and deemed an inquest un.
necessary, as the shooting appeared
to be purely accidental
The lad is survived by his parents,
three sisters and one brother. The
parents are almost distracted over
the event, and while friends are en-

Parker SHES
Hat Into Ring
For Mayoralty

G. F. Parker, the well known labor
leader, today formally announced his
candidacy to succeed Mayor T. NJ.
Todd at the fall election. While it
is a little early for candidating, Mr.
Parker says that the people might as
well know now as later that he in
tends to make the race.
The fact that he has always been
active in union labor circles, that he
is an out-and-out dry" man and that
he was an original supporter of the
charter are reid upon by Mr.. Parker
to bring him a big vote this fall.
Later in the year, as the campaign
warns up, he proposes to make an eff
fective canvass to gain the office.
Today there were rumors of other
candidates being boosted for the may
orship. w. p. Ella, it is said, will be
the standard bearer for the social
lists this fall, Mr.. Todd refusing to
run for reelection. Mr.. Ella was some
time ago announced as member of
the progressive party, but it is under
stood that he had more recently an
nounced that allegiance and that he
will become the titular head of the
reds" at the fall election.
There are other Tumored candid
ates, but these two are the only ones
who seem to be assured of general
support at this time.

County Plans
to Prosecute
Law Violators

That the orders of the board of
health to stop the practice of leaving
carcasses unburied on the Redlands
is being persistently violated and that
in the future all violators of the or
der will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law was announced to-
day by the county commissioners sit
ting as a beard of health.
Several days ago notices were
printed in both papers ordering the
practice stopped, signs We're posted in
conspicuous places and other means
used notifying all parties to stop the
practice. The road overseer in the
Redlands district was ordered to burn
all the carcasses then on the ground
and this was done. Last night. how
ever, another dead horse was dragged
there, and, If the health board can
find out who the guilty party is, that
person will be prosecuted to the full
est extent of the law.
A resolution emphasizing this fact
was passed by the board today.

STARvE THE FLY" NEW SLOGAN
IN CITY CAMPAIGN ON THE PEST
Holmburg Issues Bulletin to School Children on
Need Of Cleaning Up Breeding Places
For Carrier of Disease Germs.

In bulletin which was today dis
tributed to all the school children of
the city, City Commissioner Charles
X. Holmburg sets new slogan for
the campaign against disease. "Starve
the Fly is the cry that he makes and
he follows it with practical instruc-
tons in destroying the breeding
places for the germ-carrying pest.
The bulletin is the first of a series
and will be one method of education
in Mr.. Holmburg's campaign to make
Grand Junction a flyless city this
summer.
Mr.. Holmburg is now negotiating
with the state board of health for
some moving picture films which will
be used in local moving picture thea
tiers and he also hopes to secure the
services of a lecturer from the state
board of health to make a series of
addresses in this city during the ear
ly part of the summer.
Mr.. Holmburg declares that now
is the time to fight the fly and he
emphasizes the point more fully in
the bulletin, which is as follows:
The daily sentinel. [volume] (Grand Junction, Colo.) 1893-current, 1913-05-08

that one fly may carry on its body
and feet over 100000 disease germs.
FLIES ARE NOW KNOWN TO BE
THE MOST DEADLY ENEMY
OF MAN.
They kill more people than all the
wild beasts and poisonous snakes, and
even wars. Destroy flies and save
human lives. How can this be done?
The time to fight flies is NOW.
Begin the warfare on flies in the
month of May before many of their
eggs have been Matched First, by
killing all winter flies that have
been hiding in buildings as fast as
they come cut. BY doing away with
the breeding places of flies, the battle
Is half won. Screen all manure heaps
and remove the manure at least twice
week. A solution of iron sulphate
tone pound to a gallon) applied at
the rate of one gallon a day in a sta
bic where one horse is kept, will kill
all the maggots. Flush all garbage
cans after being emptied, and keep
the can tightly covered all the time
Keep your premises clean, and see
that your neighbors do likewise.
DON'T ALLOW FLIES IN YOUR
HOUSE.
Have your "!nGG" and doof
screens put in before the flies appear.
Don't permit flies near your food,
especially milk. Don't buy any food
stuffs where flies are tolerated Don't
allow your fruit or candies to be OK
posed to flies. Don't let flies crawl
over the baby's mouth or upon its
nursing bottle. Don't allow any
breeding or feeding places for flies on
your premises.

that, where there is no filth, there
will be no flies. Report all insani-
tary conditions of your neighborhood,

CITIZENS DEMANDING
CHANGE IN ROAD WORK
Petition is Presented to the County
Commissioners Urging That
Foremen be Employed.

\ plentifully signed petition was
presented to the county commissions
ers this morning urging them TO take
the county roads out of the hands Of
the Oyerseers and to put permanent
gangs of worlmen on the roads that
have to be improved this year. The
plan advocated Is a modification OF
the method in use in Garfield county.
Some months ago the Garfield county
commissioners fired every road over
seer they had on the rolls and put
in three gangs OF workmen under
competent foremen. Never before
have such roads been made in Gar
field county as are being made now.
Last month practically $4,000 was
expended in Mesa county for roads.
Little OF this work is OF a permanent
character The roads are scraped,
plowed and the dirt plastered down,
and the first rain washes ii back
again, and the next time road work
is done the same plan is repeated.
Those who circulated the petition
declare that the county is not getting
10 per cent of its moneys worth out
OF its road fund and that a plan
must be adopted if the highway sys-
tenn is ever to amount to anything.
The Midland Trail situation makes
the matter even more acute.
The petition asked that the road
from Mack to the state line. from
Grand Junction to the Delta line and
Palisade to the Garfield line he taken
out of the jurisdiction of the over
seers.
