Aid Of Every Man, Woman and Child
to Be Enlisted at Once in Campaign
Against Pests
LECTURES IN SCHOOLS OF

"Swat the fly will be the slogan in
Salem from now on, and that pestifer-
Gus little insect is sure going to get
what is coming to him, if the plans
which were made yesterday afternoon
by special committee are successfully
carried out.
The committee which was selected by
the promotion department of the Com.
mereial club to prepare for the battle
with the Salem fly is composed of DR..
W. B. Morse, Professor Earl Fitzpatrick,
Ralph Moores and Fred S. Bynon. The
members got very busy yesterday af-
ternoon and decided not to wait day
to begin the war on the pests, with the
result that every pastor, school teacher,
corporation head, school child, mother,
father, club and society in Salem will
soon be called upon to assist in making
the capital flyless city.
Fly Lectures
The committee decided to ask eight
doctors, eight business men and eight
teachers to give lectures in the eight
ward schools within the next few days

along lines showing the real nature Of
the pest, and requesting the school
children to take an active part in rid.

be furnished with a little bottle, and
when they succeed in getting the recep.
tacle full, they can present it to the
promotion department secretary and
receive reward. In this way it can
be readily seen that fly scalp hunting
will be favorite sport among the
children.
The Six O'Clock club will be asked to
discuss the fly question and spread the
news about the city in order that every
one will have clear idea of what the
work will mean in the future.
Fly Exhibit.
The committee is planning to prepare
a fly exhibit, which will be installed in
one of the most prominent places in the
city, This exhibit will demonstrate to
the public just what the fly is doing to.
ward spreading disease and creating a
very harmful condition in the homes.
The insects will be shown clustered
around infant food containers, in milk
cans and how they distribute filth from
many different sources,
Fly swatters are to be handed out
free to everybody within the next weel,
and the "fly swatting" talk will give
politics hard race for popularity
when the work is launched in good
shape.

now taking special pains to make clear
the economic advantage Of avoiding
steep grades In other roads. even at
some sacrifice Of better land. Inves-
tigation shows that the laying of such

from attention to the preservation of

ton to the problem of road building.
According to the testimony of farm
ers consulted, where horse might be
able to pull 1000 pounds on level
road. It would have difficulty in pulling
5000 pounds up steep hill. The size
Of the load. therefore, tends to be
measured by the grade of the largest
hill on the road to market. In num-
Der of cases actual experiment shows
that the relocating of roads around
hills has been accomplished, either
with no addition In road length In
some instances, and with the adding
OF only a few feet to the highway In
others. The Office knows OF no case
where a properly relocated road
which has cut out grades has led to
any question as to its material reduc-

RELOCATE MANY OLD ROADS
Department Of Agriculture Advises
Cutting Out Of Grades on High
ways to Save Horses.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The average life of horses and au-
tomobiles may be increased and the
cost OF hauling reduced, according to
the Office of roads OF the department
OF agriculture, by relocating many old
roads and the more scientific laying
out OF new ones. The natural tenden-
cy In road building Ia to build
straight road, whether II goes over
steep grades or hills, or not, and pull
ing over these grades naturally adds
to the wear and tear on horses and
vehicles.
The doctrine of the ONCE Of roads is
that the longest way around may often
be the shortest and most economical
way home, and that frequently by
building a highway around a hill or
grade. but little appreciable distance
10 added and this is more than Offset
by the reduced strain Of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point of view Is that the lay
ing out of roads on this principle of
avoiding grades necessitates, in some
cases. running the road through good
farm land or orchards or pastures, In
stead Of going around the farm line
and building the road through old
worn-out fields and over rocky knolls.
This, of course. must raise question
In the mind Of the individual land
owner as to whether the cutting up Of
his property by a road yields him In
diyidual advantages and so benefits his
community as to Offset the use of such
land for road, or to overcome the in
convenience of having his land d.
vided. In this connection the Office of
roads points out that the running Of
road and the resulting traffic through
q good farm, where there are good
sheep, cattle. horses, grain, fruit or
vegetables, has a certain advertising
value and in many instances makes
