Wants a City Fly Killer
DR.. Holman Suggests One for FL
PasO; offers to Pay 81 Month;
Interviews With Fl PasOans.

GE"HE city OF Redlands. Califor-
mia, has the distinction, so it
= is reported. of having got en-
tirelv rid Of flies this summer" said
DR.. r. B. Homan. The citizens there
went at the matter in a bUsinesslike
way and employed an official fly
killer paying him a salary the same
as other officers in the city, and he
trapped the town
Certainly there are few things
that are a greater menace than flies.
and / do not believe the same amount
of money could be spent more profit
ably from a sanitary standpoint than
in their eradication. and in order to
create interest in the mater Sug-
gest that The Herald receive Volun-
tary subscriptions toward the salary
of a good man and let him proceed
along the same lines as have been car
ried out in Redlands, and I agree to
give IS a month for four months for
I that purpose.
Baseball is a great game" said
Harry A Carpenter NO American
ever gets too old to enjoy a game.
Sometimes the men who used to play
in their younger days. feel a little
stiff in the knees and cannot get out
on the diamond themselves but they
can appreciate good playing and
would rather see a good ball game
than be president Why. a larger
crowd turns out to hear baseball re-
turns than for the election returns
and they are not all small boys by
long shot 1t is a good sport, an
American sport, and it is becoming
more popular each season"
Americans and many MeNicans are
mistaken about the meaning of the
officer They imagine il applies only
TO Americans but il does not. GringO
as used by MeNicans means any for
eigner who does not speak our Ian
guage."

Greet. q would go to New Orleans
and eat That is the place to go to for
eats. If you want to really eat. go to
New Orleans. There is no place like
II anywhere in this country or any
other You get one dish. and think
you have reached the climax when an
other is handed out to YOU which is
better than the first one You could
go on eating for years and You
would never get through the menu
am glad that I viii have to so back
to New Orleans on this one account
The game Sunday is what I call
baseball" said justice of the peace F.
B. NcClntOck. That was a bear-cat
Of a game. Bouseman deserves all the
credit for winning il. The Hurley
team played BAH from the start 10
ali the time They certainly Outplayed
Fl Paso. and deserved the game,
while 7 hate to see the FL PaSO team
lose. If they play ball all the time
like they did Sunday there won't be
any trouble getting the crowds out To
the games. People like TO spend their
money to see a good game Of ball,
but they do not like to be tortured
with q rotten exhibition Players
some times forget that the man who
gees to the games and pays his money
is the one who helps to keep up the
team. The players ought to always
make the effort 10 give this man his
moneys worth"

pointing to q spot in yard where the
grass was yellow and white particles
were apparent. 'Just put little
manure over il and il VIII soon be all
right. Manure is the best antidOte for
alkali that I know If spread upon a
spot where the grass is not growing,
and properly watered. the grass viii

the yard Manure is good to feed often
To rose bushes, too They need a lot

know for this Innate is the locust I
set some ont the other day. in the
latter part of June. and they are grow
ing fine. II takes a thrifty tree TO
do that"

dian Of Washington Park There were
no stables provided for the horses Of
the cavalrymcu here. so they imme-
erected a long one at the camp just
outside the entrance to the park
Long poles are used and on top of
these, brush is piled for a roof TO
