 they should be repealed. If the

 how it may be stopped.
 THE ARGUS is a newspape, and proposes to publish the news, and we feel sure that when those few of our esteemed Holly Grove friends take a more serious thought along this line that they will fully realize that it is to their interest as well as to the interest of every tax payer in the county to- have county papers that will always do this.

The Drainage Question.
Monroe. Ark. Feb. 25. 191

Editor Argus: It seems that the drainage question is upper most in the minds of the people of this county; and, it is a big question, especially to those of us who have had know experience with it and no nothing about it's advantages and cost. Drainage and labor is what this county needs above everything else. There is no doubt in my mind that if drainage was properly carried out, that it would add many thousands of dollars an- nually to the wealth of the coun- ty, to say nothing of the health. If the big ditches in Piney and Cypress creeks were cut through to the Indian bay or other body of water emptying into the river. and. lateral cut up every big slough from the big ditch, then the farmers and land : owners would have somewhere to ditch their water to, so it would get off. Each farmer then could take teams, blows and scrapers and ditch through his land, and the next farmer below him could cut through his land in the same way, until it reached one of the laterals in a large slough.
 Of course this will cost lots of money. Yes. but as we can't get something for nothing, if we ever get such public improve ments we will have to pay for them. Let the land most bene- fitted pay the most tax, and the high. dry land pay the least tax. There are thousands of acres of land between Monroe and Brink ley that will not be benefited at all by either the Piney or the Cypress ditch, but there are ten times as many thousands of acres m and down the two creeks that is absolutely worthless now, ex- cept the timber, that would be made valuable agricultural land if properly drained, and if prop erly drained it would induce peo- nle to move into the county and thus help to solve the labor problem.
 Let's hear from someone that is posted on the subject, who will tell us how much per acre the drainage tax will be. how long if will take to pay it off and how m;,ch it will cost to keep the ditches open after they are cut.
 Yours for the advancement o1 1 Monroe county.

 take up their side of the fight.
 In this connection the ARGUS desires to say a. few words to the few who seem so unreasonable in their effort to FORCE things their own way. They would dis honor the men who were ap- pointed as commissioners; they set out or intimate in their conl- plaint that the reason the legal notices necessary in forming the district were pvblished in the Monroe County Citizen was be- cause that particular paper did not have a general circulation. and thus the Commissioners were seeking to "slip by'' with the proposition. The ARGUS pub fisher was told by one of the lead ing men of Holly Grove how, that a big bundle of Williams papers (the Citizen) had recently been bundled up and returned to him thus indicating just how the newspaper might be intimidated, etc.
 Now all of this together with the apparent practice of this same intimidating force methods doesn't look good to the ARGUS and is not at all in keeping with the high regard we have always borne to those few Holly Grove friends who have thoushtiessly allowed their personal feelings to get the best of them.
 That kind of force met hod never get anything. It is wrong in the first place whether applied to the Citizen or the ARGUS. Ii persisted in it would have a ten dency to bridle and intimidate newspapers, thus lettering their usefulness to the public safety and welfare.
 There is not a fair minded man ;n Holly Grove or any other part If the county who should not know that on all matters of this kind, the newspapers Of the county are always glad to pub fish both sides. The ARGUS has a particularly kind feeling to the people of Holly Grove ana the South End and has asked some of the strongest opponents to uresent their side of the case thro, the ARGUS columns. There never was and never will De a time that we will not gladly ac- cord to the public the use of our columns for this and like pur- noses. But when we do tnis, we p.s NOT GOING TO BE FORGED in- to anything. We may be led and reasoned into a thing but never r forced and we regret to have felt inc necessity of expression along tb;s line at this particular time.

mas always been a paper of intellectual
dignity, n has never succumbed to

Kidding Premises of Flies.

The fly is a nuisance beside being a
carrier of infectious diseases, and the
attempt to exterminate it needs no
Justification. How one can make ones
home, town or city flyless Is described
by G. F. Hodge, Of Clark university,
Worcester, Mass. He says tina the
American public spends $10,O e0, 900 a
year for window and door screens in a
futile attempt to exclude a lively in
sect which insists on getting into the
house time the doors are opened.
He believes also that the method of
swatting the flies, using fly-paper or
indoor traps or poisons is ineffective,
but may help. His method is to make
use In various way Of the conical wire
mesh fly-trap, which is familiar to al
most every one, in suc a way as to
turn the tables on the flies and put
them in Jail n let ourselves out" The
plan involves, of course the abolition
as far as possible Of all breeding and
FEEDING places for flies and the APP
plication Of the fly-trap mentioned
on windows, to the covers on manure
bins. etc, all of which can be done by
a little mechanical ingenuity. Garbage
cans are on the market which have a
cover larger h the can and not fit
ting down closely on it so that the
flies gain access to the can under the
cover and end escape through a hole
in the cover over which is fixed a fly-
trap. In fighting the fly, Hodge has
found that the essentials of a SUCCESS
full campaign are to transfer the fight
against the fly from the house to out
doors, and then to exterminate it. An
other essential feature in a town or city
is hat households must co-operate.
One ignorant or careless home can
breed flies enough to vitiate the best
of a whole town. Hodge has
succeeded In his neighborhood in prac-
tically eliminating flies; he uses no
screens in windows and doors, and can
sit outdoors or have windows or doors
open at II time without molestation.
AS flies begin to breed early in the
spring and as they breed with marvel
Gus rapidity, the time to arrange for a
fly campaign is in the winter.
