Than rule sad eyed queen.

Comes to my house each day.
My daughters happy heart he's won,
And they will wed in May.

conformation OF its mouth the
housefly cannot bite. In the
minds of most persons. how
ever. no impression is stronger
than that the housefly does oc-
casionally bite. This impression
is due to the rather frequent
presence in houses Of another
fly. This, the so called stable
fly" closely resembles the house
fly. Its mouth parts are formed
for piercing skin. Virtually all
flies breed in horse manure, COW
manure and warm, decayins
vegetable matter. including old
straw and grass.
The fly begins life as an egg.
II passes through the larval
stage, where it is known as a
massot. 1t passes then through
the pupal stage, emerging as the
winged pest we all know. The
periods of development are
about as follows: Eggs from
deposition to Matching. one
third Of day; Matching of lar
vac to first mott. one day; first
to second mott, one day; second
mott to pupation. three days;
pupation to issuing of adult.
five days; total life r-and. APP
proximately ten days.
The eggs are always laid on
some organic matter. on which
the larvae or naegots may feed
after Matching. Horse manure
is the favorite breeding place for
the fly.

OPPORT UNITY---W WHAT
WILL WE DO WITH IT2

The Journal has frequently
urged the organization of Com
mercial Club by the business men
and other live citizens of Newark.
Many have spoken encouraging
ly of the matter and all admit that
it would be a good thing and that
such an organization could do a
good work in helping to boost
Newark, but as yet no one has
taken hold and started the move
ment.
Such an organization, composed
of the leading citizens of the COM
munity can accomplish many
things for the betterment of New
ark.
Labor conquers all things, and
when you get the leading spirits
of a community organized and
working in unity, good results
will surely follow. They could
make Newark not only a bigger
town, commercially and numeri-
cally, but a better and more pleas
ant town to live in.
Get the farmers into the organi-
cation too. We are interested in
the farmers, their work and their
prosperity. When the farmers
prosper, the town prosperS, and
vice versa. The farmer should
help the town, and the town
should help the farmer. We had
a fine demonstration last summer
of what the town can do in help
ing the farmer in the way of road
building. This can be repeated
and enlarged upon with mutual
advantage until every road lead
ing into Newark is made a first
class highway.
Such an organization can be of
inestimable value to the town in
securing new enterprises and in

The Panama canal is considered
the most stupendous and wonder
full task ever undertaken by man.
Yet it is estimated that in the past
five years the American people
have spent as much for gems
and jewellery as the Panama Canal
has cost. This furnishes an apt
illustration of what little
economy could do if properly di
rected.
