All in a Nutshell.

The whole story Of the fly problem is
told in four little words in a bulletin is
sued by the Chicago health department.
Columns have been written concerning
the danger Of flies in homes and other
places, how they menace human health
and cause various forms Of disease
which often result in death, how they
pollutc the foods and liquids used by
people, and how necessary it is, there
fore that everyone should join in a
campaign to eradicate this pest. More
columns have been written on how to
get rid of the flies, giving details Of
how to trap, swat, poison and 'tangle-
foot the insects, also how to destroy
their breeding places and how to place
barriers against their visits by the use
of screens. An this is good and useful
information, but as we said before, the
whole story of the problem has been
boiled down to tabloid form by the
Chicago health department, in the sug-
gestive reminder "No filth, no flies.
And this reminder should prove valu-
able, both IN encouraging to increased
efforts those who already have become
interested in the swat the flies" cam
paign, and in inducing others to join
this really important movement. Flies
and filth are nseparable companions
throughout the career Of every insect
Of this species, and the public cannot be
too frequently or to strongly reminded
of this fact Conditions Of filth are es-
5rntial to the breeding Of flies, they
I feed and thrive on filth, habitualIy they
frequent the most iJby places to be
found, and from such places they carry
| the fragments of filth and likewise the
germs of desease TO the skin and Wet
|upIs of human beings. The source and
cause of danger are thus readily ex-
planned, and the same explanation fur
nishes the suggestion of how to get rid

mate dividends. How did this remark
able situation arise Well, the answer
is not difficult. Whatever the farmers
have planted, the crop which they ex-
pect to reap has been land value. They
have cultivated the ''unearned mere
ment" to the exclusion Of all other
crops. Fortunes beyond number have
been made by buying lands cheap and
selling at a big price; it would be ex-
ceedingly difficult to find farmer who
has grown rich cultivating soil which
has not advanced in price This system
Of figuring on land value profits rather
than land product profits, demoralizes
the whole business. Values, in most
places, have now reached something like
their maximum level. The farmer who
buys high priced land today must count
on getting his profits from the sale Of
his profits, and not from the sale of his
lands The only exceptions are in To-
calities where, for one reason or anoth-
er, land is still abnormally low. In
those places, the buyer may sti' hope
to see his land grow into wealth

her game considerably interfered with
