Y angdon Woman's
- Club Notes

One OF the resolutions adopted by the
North Dakota Federation of Women's
clubs at their annual meeting in Fargo
was that an anti-hy campaign be inaug.
urated and that every club in the fed.
GRAFTON be urged to participate in the
movement. The committee presents the
following anti-hy program for the con.
sideration of the clubs of North Dakota;
A clean city-Have aclean-up.day and
see that all possible breeding places be
eradicated. Keep the town clean; this
will mean constant watchfulness.
Garbage disposal-All garbage should
be kept in water tight covered cans and
emptied twice a week. In many towns
this collection is made free of charge by
the city. But simply carrying the gar
bage to the dump grounds is not a salts
factory disposal, as the fys breed as
quickly in the country as in town. A
satisfactory disposal would mean
burning in an incinerator made for that
purpose, which is the most reliable
method, or, after being chemically treat
ed to prevent the breeding of flies the
refuse could then be dried and burned.
This plan was tried at Jamestswn last
year, sulphate OF iron being used as a
disinfectant. 25 los. to a bbl. Of water.
Stable refuse-Manure is one OF the
most fertile breeding places and should
be kept in water tight boxes with slop-
ing covers, the same to be emptied and
cleaned frequently. The sulphite solu-
ton could be used with good effect on
stable refuse.
Fly traps-Encourage the use of fly
traps on the outside of houses, on gar
bage cans, manure boxes-on the outside
Of screen doors. In many towns these
traps are made by the boys in the man
ual training department.
Screens-Iusist on the enforcement of
the state law requiring groceries, baker.
les, meat markets, hotels, slaughter
""aSSS. ~ I 10 p1opOllJ SCiOou0u.
Outhouses should also be screened.
Publiclty-Get all the publicity posi-
bic through the newspapers. Have a fly
page. Ask the manager Of your moving
picture show to donate a benefit per-
Torrance at which time show the fly
film and have talks on the danger of the
house fly by a prominent physician.
Prizes for dead hies-The commercial
clubs have generally taken charge of
this part of the work. The earlier this is
done the more effectual and less expen-
slve it will be.
Rural districts-interest the rural dis
tricts as much as possible, as no anti-hy
campaign can be successful without the
cooperation Of every individual in the
state. The slogan is to be 'No Flies in
North Dakota"

WOOL, CROPS AND CALAMITY

Apparently this is not going to be a
good year for the calamity howlers. The
final stunning blow M in the predic.
ton of a record wheat crop For years
good crops and republican rule have run
hand in hand, or at least the G. 0. p.
orators and organs have limited, but the
alleged partnership between the Almigh-
ty and the republican party seems to
have been dissolved.
Hardly less distressing, from the 6.
o. P. viewpoint is the uuaccountable
and scandalous performance of wool. 1t
had been proclaimed from Dan to Ber-
sheba that the enactment of ademocrat-
ic tariff would ruin the wool growers and
close the wooden mills. The dread demo
cratic tariff bill was passed, the notori-
Gus "Schedule K" was completely
emasculated, and the bars were let down
for a tleecy cloud of foreign pauper wool.
And, as a result, have American wool
gaewers been ruined: have the textile
Nails shut down and have thousands of
honest American %workingmen been
thrown out of employment? Hardly.
Instead of closing our wooden mills,
free wool has given them a fresh lmpe-
tus, and American manufacturers are
showing themselves we'll able to meet all
foreign competition. AS for the grower
he is getting a higher market price for
his product today thar he received a
year ago under Schedule h" And
strangely p%aradoxical as it may seem,
the consumer is benetitting by lower
prices for the finished product. 1t all
simply demonstrates the truth of that
old axiom that competition is the life of
trade, and the hollowness of the protec-
zionist theory that all the people can be
made prosperous by taxing the many for
the benefit Of the few.
Also, as we remarked before, 1t is evi.
dent that this is not going to be a good
year for the calamity howlers.

The grain and cattle markets are prov
ing themselves to be no friends to those
republicans who hope to ride into con-
gress or the senate this year by proving
to the farmer how hard he has been hit
by the foreign competition to which the
new democratic tariff has subjected him
They are uniformly marking higher
prices for what the farmer produces
than he got before the tariff law was
passed These casual students of the
tariff will some day discover just how
little an effect on prices the compare,
lively small importation of farm products
can and will have,

That North Dakota stands liz fifth
place among the states with one automo.
bile to every Is of its per capita at first
glance appears to be hardly credlble, but
an illustration of the growing popularity
of the automobile is found in the fact
that one Langdon dealer has already
sold So autos so far this season, while
the total sales out of Langdon to date
for 1914 will show sales over reaching
the 100, and nine-tenths of the cars
being sold to out of town buyers. In
the state of California the per capita Is
the highest with one automobile to every
twenty persons.

The Osnabrock Independent evidently
thinks that John Mahon is deserving of
tie confidence and support of the people
i his candidacy for the state senate. In
a comment last week that paper says
among other things: "Mr. Mahon ought
to poll a large vote, being a man who has
convictions.

Sizing up the earlier stages of the 1914
campaign, the Osnabiock Independent
says that the true meaning and intent
of the primary election law appears to
have been set aside by the steering com.
mittees of the political parties in slate
making operations. Editor Store gets
a very correct view point OF what was
doing when the republicans attempted a
"frame up of their legislative ticket.
