A FLY KILLED NOW
May Mean Six TrilIion Less in
September

Under the auspices of the Civic
League, State Entomologist F L Wash
burn lectured at the armory on Tues
day evening on the typhoid fly. The
lecture was we'll attended and much in-
terest aroused in getting rid of the fly.
Prof. Washhurn said that the fly
developed from the egg to the adult
fly in fourteen days and that each fly
laid about $50 eggs three or four
times. This means that one fly in
the spring can multiply into about six
trillion flies by the first of September.
This number of flies if placed in line
would circle the earth at the equator
1000 times.
The fly as most dangerous carrier
Of disease was spoken of and q striking
illustration given from q town on the
iron range where many men are en-
ployed in the mines. The Austrians
and Italians there live uncleanly. but
eat three hot meals a day. The
Swedes and Firms live cleanly but eat
two cold lunches each day. Typhoid
fever prevailed among the Swedes in
spite of their personal cleanliness but
did not attack the Austrians in spite
of their uncleanness. The explana-
tion was that the fly got chance to
convey typhoid germs to the Swedes
thru their cold lunches.
Prof. Washburn stated that he had
noticed many manure piles about the
alleys in Morris which are menace t.
the health of the community. A
manure pile in the favorite breeding
place of the fly. If the fly is to be
gotten rid of. the manure piles must
be hauled away ard the refuse cleaned
up and kept clean. A fly requires filth
to live on.
Speaking Of fly traps, be illustrated
the varying success with different
kinds of halt. Bread and milk wal
the best bait.
The latter part Of the lecture wal
illustrated with steropticon veiwl
showing the histroy and habits of thu
fly, and how disease is transmitted.
After the fly lecture beautiful
views were given showing the protec
| tive mimicry of insects.

Important Business Change

Chokio Review "A business trans.
action of more than local important
was the sale of the greater amount
of the stock of The First National
Bank of Chokio. to Mr.. Andrew D.
O'Brien. the we'll known Graceville
banker and real estate dealer. The
First National is one of our oldest
enterprises and one which always en-
joyed the fullest confidence of the
business men of the community, an
asset it will continue to hold under
the new regime. Mr.. O'Brien needs
no introduction to the people of this
community as his activities in land
matters hereabouts, and his long
banking connections at Graceville has
made him a we'll known figure in a
business way throughout this section.
He is recognized as one of the most
progressive financial men in Western
Minnesota. and that he has become
interested in our village is a condi-
tion to be desired. AS a Bo who was
working with one of the O'Brien
crews last summer told us: candy
has the punch. Chokio extends
the glad hand.

A DOZEN COUNTIES.
Have Agricultural Agents Under
the New Law.

During the last two weeks the West
Central Minnesota Development AS
sociation has been instrumental in
getting twelve counties put in line
under the new law for County Agri-
cultral Agents. People are beginning
to recognize the fact that the West
Central Minnesota Development AS
sociation was organized to do good
things for this part of the state. This
movement for men in each county to
aid in town and country cooperation
and agricultural improvement is not
only good idea it is great move
ment and should have the enthusiastic
backing of every inhabitant of the
seventeen best counties ir Minnesota.
The association is planning a great
program for its annual meeting at
Montevideo. June 18th and 18th. It
is to be town and country conference
which will consider some of the urgent
problems facing the commercial and
agricultural interests of this section
of the state. One of the greatest
values, however, coming from these
gatherings is the cooperation of in
terests obtained.

"Born Again"
An applied Christianity topic. lone
Days Rest in Seven" will be the sub
ject for the evening service. This
meeting will be conducted by the
Christian Endeavor society. The
Bible tells US the Sabbath was made
for man. but it is a we'll known fact
that it is not so used. Today many
thotful men are saying it is up to
the church to make the Sabbath for
man or frankly, say it was not made
for him. Since 1900 Sunday labor
has increased twice as fast as the
population.

Given Godspeed.

On Saturday evening of last week
about twenty friends and 'neighbors
gathered at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Dwight Wetmore to make a
farewell visit and wish the family
God-speed on their journey to their
future home at Sandstone. MINI.
No intimation of the party had
reached them until the ladies appeared
with baskets and trays we'll filled
with refreshments for the evening.
The lady of the house was equal to
the occasion and made but one blunder
during the excitement, and that was
excusable; for the freezer of ice
cream had been left all too near the
kitchen door, through which she made
hasty retreat to don her company
attire. as she had been caught elbow
deep in packing. 1t was not long
however, till each was comfortably
seated and all chatting as becomes a
lively party. The children provided
an early treat in candies and at ten
thirty the luncheon was served. A
beautiful "Morris" spoon was pre-
sented to Mrs. Wetmore. as a re-
minder of the friends she was leaving
and to show the high regard in which
she was held.
1t was near midnight when the
company went home each one feeling
a regret at having to lose the Wet.
mores as neighbors, but wishing them
well for the future.

AGRICULTURAL AGENT.
Dean Woods Suggests How He
May be Most Useful.

You have in your county a young
man representing the United States
Department of Agriculture, the Min
nesota Agricultural College. and your
county committee. This young man
is employed by these agencies for
agricultural development work. His
services are available for any farmer
or community in your county. He
may be called upon to give assistance
in any problem that has for its object
Improvement in farming or farm life.
This young man does not know every
thing. In fact. he is very ordinary
individual. He is interested in every
thing pertaining to agriculture. and he
will be glad to help any individual or
community. If he does not know
how to take care of the problem pre-
sented himself, he will get in touch
with the State College or the United
States Department and get the best
information available on the subject.
His mission is largely that of a 60
between to bring to the farmers the
information worked out in their own
laboratories, in the State Experiment
Stations. and in the United States
Department. No man knows very
much about farming, but by combining
and making use of the information of
several people. each individual or
community can become more efficient.
Your county agricultural agent,
Mr.. F. D. Hawk, was raised on an
Iowa farm; is a graduate from the
Iowa Agricultural College, and since
his graduation three or four years
ago has had wide experience in live
stock, and general agricultural work.
He is plain. practical young mar
who is worth knowing. His services
are at the command of any citizen OF
Stevens county, without charge. We
hope you will cooperate with him.
SOME THINGS AN AGENT WILL
! Call on your county agent whel
something is wrong with any of you
live stock or crops, or when you hav,
had difficulties in marketing your pro
duct.
Call on him to organize a Farmers
Club. Breeders Association, Ship
pers' Association, Cow Testing AS
sociation, or any other organization
for the betterment Of your community
Ask him to identify for you unknown
seeds and plants, to help you plan
barn. house, silo. or your farm
stead. Get his help in planning
: drainage system for your farm, 0

If you want to buy or sell som

WELL PRESENTED
Young Thespians Make Hit in
Captain Racket"

The presentation of Captain
Rachel" by members Of the Young
Mems Social Club assisted by some
of the ladies of the city st the armory
on Monday evening was the dramatic
event of the season. The armory
was crowded to its capacity by friends
who came to witness this initial pub.
lie appearance of budding geniuses.
Captain Racket is presumably com.
edy, the problems of the play arising
from the facility with which the cap
tain can pervert the truth to answer
the demands of the moment T. j.
Mangan. the jeune premier. in the
title role reminded one of Maynard
Richfield in heavy tragedy. The
audience were immensely pleased with
the manner in which he played the
sock for the buskin. and also how by
a jeu de theatre he rendered the strains
of Home Sweet Home on a cornet.
]. Fergus, whc robbed his features
of their classic beauty by wearing
wig, played the role of the captains
uncle from Japan, whence he had fled
after being deprived of his lady love
by the young captain la John Alden.
There is suspicion that Mr.. Fergus
must have seen the inside of the green
room some time before he set out from
Australia. tho the quality of his act
ing was not such as to indicate that
he was compelled to leave the island
continent for that reason.
Timothy Tolman, who married for
money and was sorry, was portrayed
by John Kreiss in a manner to do
away with any necessity of ruling
from the attorney-generala as to who
was the "head of the household. "
The role of Hobson, the waiter who
adds to the confusion, was inter-
preted by Fl. G. Probst. The audience
were greatly disappointed that Mr..
Probst appeared only once. for he
carried has half a dozen lines with
such marked histrionic ability as to
commend him for assignment to some
much more important role in the fu-
ture.
Archie Stone Jr. represented Mr..
Dalroy, the father-in law of Timothy,
part which is a comprise between
the walking gentleman and the heavy
4 father. He was especially good ir
the former.
The ladies of the troupe were Miss
, Edith Carney as Clarice. the wife O.
the captain; Mrs. McAyeal as Mrs
, Tolman, lady with temper, Mis-
Irene Hall as Katy, a mischievou
maid. All took their parts we'll
Mrs. McYeal is always good in

peared quite at her ease and inter
> 1preted the role effectively and Mis-
Hall made charming soubrette.

cial commentator. He never erie

HEAD OF A FAMILY.

son who, living in the same house and
in domestic capacity with others
not his servants or employees, who are
dependent upon him for support, con-
trolls and manages the affairs of the
household.
"The head of the family primarily
is the husband or father. One may
be such head, however. without being
either. Thus the mother may be-
come such upon the death or perm
anent disability of the husband. So
a son having parents and brothers
and sisters. or either or any of them
depending upon him for support and
living in a household which he con.
trolls. and being neither his servants
nor his boarders, might be such head.
There may be other cases that would
entitle such persons to the exemption.
but in each case the person claiming
the exemption must be the master of
the family and must stand in the
place of the father. No family can
have more than one head, regardless
of the fact that different members Of
the family are the individual owners
of assessed personal pro- erty and may
contribute in some manner to the sup
part of such family.

A WAGON TRAMP.

combining pleasure with profit. He is
