Catching ElIes Pays Wei.

Catching flies is affording a ShreVe-
port (La.) man a profitable and indie
pendent living. He sells them TO the
city board OF health. His name is
Bartsch, and his net revenue from the
fy industry for the first two days of a
recent week was $24.2O. When the
health board began Offering premiums
for the hies. dead or alive, Bartsch
purchased about 100 traps and placed
them In 1y-rIdden sections OF the, city.
Then he began making inroads on the
health boards exchequer. and 30 well
did he operate that he bore the market
price down from so cents to 90 cents a
quart, for 1t Is by that measure that
the board purchases. Bartsch Is still
working, and he will work as long as
the treasury holds out. He finds fly
catching pays.

Although we hear considerable about

pany-the concern which runs the Yep
pelin passenger-carriers-there has been
very little given out with regard To
their success in a commercial way. The

the tremendous Losses incurred by the
German company 70 by DO means sur
prising to those who are aware OF the
situation. AS has been frequently stREad
in these columns. there is Little pros
pect that the gas filed dirIgibIe will
ever become of commercial utility. The
expense OF operation, even with the
great reductions made In the cost Of
hydrogen gas, IL exceedingly high, and
when we d to this the losses suffered
in the disasters to n after another OF
the nirships themselves, we can realize
why II is that the concern is losing
money, In round figures q Zeppelin
costs $500, 900. and when one is burned,
wrecked, or explodes, the salvage is
negligible.
The official report of the German
company shows that for 1912 there was
a less of roughly 1.b00,0 900 marks on
capital OF 5000, 900 marks. 1t received
500, 600 marks as price OF tickets. and
with subyentions, etc, showed re-
ceipts Of S2T, 900 marks, but expenses
came to 1877, 900 marks, and net was only
10000 marks. The company was bur-
dened with an enormous loss from the
preceding year. and In addition the de-
struction Of the "Schwaben,' last sum
mer-since not fully covered by insur-
ance with English companies involved
additional loss OF 2eO. 1000 marks. Fur

Of the cam paign there will be hun
dreds of new members added to the
roll.
The campaign is being conducted
scientifically. Each team is given a
list Of prospective members and then
1t is the business of the members to
see the men that lave been assigned
them to look after. The canvass of
the entire city can be made in this
way in a very short time and there is
no ineffective work done nor valua-
BILE time lost.
All teams are manned with strong
men who have the reputation for aC-
complishing results and after they
have presented the matter to the
prospective member there is little
chance for his refusing to become n
member. The advantage OF having
a strong commercial organization
and The need of the organization in
having the support and the co-opera-
tion of the individual are effective
arguments that have been successful
in winning members for the Fair
mont Chamber of Commerce.
