legs in filth it will fly along to greener
fields.
But-on the way it will pause to in
spect Mas pies If they are not pro-
tected, or to take sip from the baby's
milk, II 1t is exposed.
Wherever 1t alights it leaves its
trademark-filth.
More often than not, dangerous
germs of disease are found in this de-
post. OF course, this does not kill
you always; it doesn't always make
you sick.
But neither does every bullet from
the quick-firing gun kill someone.
In fact, figures show that in the
average battle more than 1900 shots
are fired for every soldier that Is
struck
Yet the fatalities in battle mount to
thousands, and the fatalities in fly
ridden district are numerous in the
course of year. You may have your
food poisoned by the dangerous little
fly thousand times without serious
results, but you can never tell when
the poison will strike home; 1t is too
risky to take chances.
The thing to do is to get rid of these
busy little grave-diggers.
The way to do that is to kill fly
when you see it.
Kill the flies in the house first
Every time you see one of them In
the house run 1t down.
Then keep them out of the yard
You can't run fly down in the open
but you can starve him.
In the Civil War the South was
starved into submission more than II
was defeated in battle.
The same kind of warfare will de.
feat the fly.
Keep refuse matter out of it's reach
The fly hates cleanliness. 1t doesn
enjoy life unless there is plenty o1
nourishment such as slops, dirty barr
yards and the like
When you have killed one fly vol
have done much.
For the fly multiplies rapidly. Mr.
and Mrs. Fly will have a family run
ming into the countless billions in thu
course of their short lives.
So, when you kill one fly, you reall.
kill billions.
Kill flies yourself. Encourage th
children to kill flies.
And you'll be better and happie
for every fly dead.

A RAY OF SUNSHINE!

7n7 E sometimes get blue and wond-
MW er, after all, If the four hund-
Wv red million dollars spent on the
Panama Canal is going to benefit the
farmer and the little fellow any.
But, we met Forbes Lindsay the
other day and he reassured us.
Didn't meet him face to face, but
in the pages OF Worlds Work
Mr.. Lindsay is noted traveller and
lecturer.
mo other portion Of the United
States will benefit so greatly by the
opening of the Panama Canal as will
the Pacific Coast region" he tells us.
This cheers us up.
We realize, with Mr.. Lindsay that
vast amount of produce which now
moves to its market in an easterly
direction will take the water route
from coast to coast when the Panama
Canal is open.
Great quantities of foodstuffs that
could not stand the expense of the
rail haul will be raised in the Pacific
Northwest and shipped to the East.
The cost Of sending ton Of merch-
andise from San Francisco, Portland
Seattle and Tacoma to New York, by
water, will be little more than one
fourth Of the present rate for trans
portation between these points. And
the same applies to shipments from
Atlantic Coast points West.
There will be little, If any, loss Of
time.
Fast freight trains occupy fourteen
or fifteen days in crossing the con-
tinent.
Eighteen-knot vessels will complete
the circuit in the same time.
With the extension of turbine en-
gines and the Introduction of oil-burn
ing furnaces, such rate of speed
will be commonly maintained by
merchant ships
There is no doubt that the Panama
Canal will give the Pacific Coast {
wider market for it's products ant
lower freight rates. 1t will probabl!
enlarge the territory served by Pacific
Coast jobbers. 1t will bring popula
ton to our shores. which may settle

LET THE WATER BE USED.

@ENATOR JONES, of Washington.
~ has introduced bill in Congress
W. providing that private landown-
ers holding lands within government
irrigation projects may acquire water
rights from the government without
being compelled to live on their land,
provided they irrigate the full irrig-
able area Of their holdings, and pro-
vided their holdings do not exceed
the size of an established farm unit
usually $50 acres.
Before their water rights become
permanent, however, such landown-
ers must show irrigation and cultiva-
ton for five successive years
This Is a good bill.
1t should be supported by the
congressman Of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho.
The water of government irrigation
projects should be sold and used.
What else is it for?

A LITTLE WORK WON'T HURT.

A LITTLE WORK WON'T HURT.
61HERE is a good deal of talk now
adays about commercializing our
public schools.
The question is asked: Are the boy
and girl mere tools to be sharpened
for the purpose Of making dollars, or
are they breathing human beings, cap
able OF the highest personal develop
ment"
Then the professor who asks the
question says: There are four func-
tions of education:
ITO make one see clearly, imagine
vividly, think accurately and will
nobly'
Granted.
But we don't like those sneers at
the good old spreadeagle American
dollars.
Not many of us have ever seen the
day when the jingle Of a few dollars
together in our pants pocket was not
the sweetest kind Of music.
Besides teaching our boys and girls
to see clearly, to imagine vividly 1--WE
remember getting licked for "imagin-
ing too vividly), to think accurately
and to will nobly, what We expect OF
the public schools is to teach them to
live useful lives.
Teach them to appreciate the dig
nifty and the necessity of labor
Teach them to realize that often
times the kid glove and white collar
occupations are the most futile, heart-
breaking, despair-provoking profess
sions that any boy or girl could
choose.
Teach them the value of money
and thrift.
Teach them to work with their
hands and heads, to love growing
things and the out of doors, and above
all to love and honor the toiler and
the producer, whether he be the art
isan in the city or farmer in the coun-
try.

HERE is CONSTRUCTIVE WORK.

6NHE Holden Improvement Com
mittee. which is preaching the
e gospel of corn, alfalfa and hogs
in the Pacific Northwest, is doing
good work.
Mr. c. W. Farr, who is in charge of
the campaign, is live wire So
many demands have come upon him
for speeches that he has been given
an assistant to help him with routine
work
The campaign was handled in
mastery way.
Here's hoping that Mr.. Farr will
soon have dozen assistants.
One concrete result of the move-
ment already is the fact that seed men
in Eastern Washington have had to
triple their orders for seed due to in
creased acreage being planted this
spring.

STAY ON THE FARM

7F WE could live our lives over how
differently we would all pro-
e ceed?
How many opportunities have me
missed? Mistakes made? Wrong
roads travelled?
What stories we all could tell! the
travelling salesman, the editor. the
doctor, the farmer, the merchant, the
thief, the rich man, the poor man,
the beggarman, the priest?
Some of the stories would be tragic;
of hopes unrealized, of ambitions
thwarted.
We would like to add one other
to the list; The Country Girl who went
to the City.
We hope that everything is well
with her; that as she wandered down
hard streets lined with tall buildings
instead Of pleasant lanes, she found
kind friends, considerate employers,
and remunerative work, met a worthy
Prince Charming and lived happily
ever after.
EVEN tuefl, HO uOuUt, HtT lcdIt IL
often sick for the old home, the dear
folks she left there, and no doubt her
eyes long for the familiar sights and
scenes, and methinks, the barnyard
sounds would be sweet and restful
music to her ears, now surfeited with
the clang and bang of the city streets
Some Of the stories we have heard
in sadness as told in low wolves: The
stories of the Country Girl Who Went
to the City and Who Never Went
Back.
Stories Of small wages-not living
wages poor opportunities, not
enough to eat, living in cheap lodg.
ings, insults, degradation and death
Think twice, girls before you leave
home.
Fathers and mothers, don't drive
the girls away by your own naggine
or carelessness
Think or the Girl Who Never Came
Back.

HIGH COST OF LIVING? HUH!

STVH II CAl CllIlDeu " eighty -slA
W cents a bushel the other day
w the high water mark of the
present day.
And Immediately the calamity howl
ers began to dilate on the high cost
of living"
AS matter of fact, living now is
cheaper than it was century ago;
or, for the matter of that many
centuries ago.
There is but one fair way to esti
mate the cost Of produce. That is in
the way it compares with mems
wages.
Sixteen hundred years ago, it is
true, wheat sold for thirty three cents
a bushel.
But the workman of that time re-
ceived only one ninth to one-fifteenth
as much money for his labors as does
his modern prototype.
The high cost of living" always
has been a bugbear.
They have been always going to
regulate it in one way or the other
And they never seem to pay any
attention to that economic law that
the price is governed by the action
of supply and demand.
| In 301 A. Dust 800 years after
the birth of Christ-the Roman en-
peror, Diocletian, found such con-
dition confronting his people that he
sought to regulate the prices of nearly
everything, including labor. Frag-
ments of his tables have been dis
covered and they show how astonish-
ingly high the high cost of living"
was in those ancient days.
Barley was priced at "a cents; rye
at As cents; millet at "A cents; beans
at "A cents; peas at "A cents, and
mustard at SLIP a bushel.
Pork was worth 7.3 cents per
pound; beef, 40 cents; mutton, 40
cents; ham, IL cents; an artificially
fed goose was worth 81 cents lamb
cost 7.3 cents per pound and butter
9.S cents.
One quality of sea fish was quoted
at 14.6 cents; river fish was 73 cents;
salt fish, S.3 cents; oysters, 43.5 cents
per hundred; sardines, 81 cents per
pound.
Vegetables were much cheaper than
today, but the cheapness was not COM
parative.
Manual labor received a wage of
1913 cents per day, with keep; brick
layers, 21.6 cents; carpenters, ZIG
cents; stone masons, 21.6 cents; wagon
makers, 21.6 cents; smiths, 21.6 cents;
bakers, 21.6 cents; drivers, 1913 cents
A barber could charge only one
cent for a shave.
Il Teachers were paid so much pei

RT7OW times have changed!
l1l In those good old days when we
e1 were young. we distinctly remem-
ber our endeavor to slay flies by the
simple expedient of pressing them
against the window pane with an
eager thumb.
The result was unhappy-to the
fly, of course, but also to us.
Father and mother felt alike on the
subject.
How would you like to be that
poor, little fly?" they would say.
Then we used to wish we had pad
ded our pants, for one or other would
endeavor to convey the feelings Of the
fly to us.
And for a day or so we ate our
meals standing up.

There is no disease the fly canno

n COLONY of 152 Russian farmers
~ has arrived in Hartline, WASH,
to settle on $150,000 worth Of
