Some nights ago a pair of lovers strolling along the bank of the town ditch in the west end, were startled to see a figure emerge from the wa ter strike an attitude. as if in fear, and then dash up the bank only to plunge into the water again and re- peat the strange antics.
 They were unable to account for the conduct of the midnight bather and were also unable to get near enough to learn the identity of the pink clad water sprite, for such they thought it.
 While they could not make their friends believe that they had seen an apparition, they knew that it was a reality and last night they induced several others to accompany them to the spot to hide and await the re- appearance of the mysterious bather. After wait of several hours their patience was rewarded by the stealthy appearance of the sprite or whatever it might be, and the more daring of the party prepared to try and take it alive.

WH|PpLEs ANSWER ID CHARGE MADE PUBLIC
Superintendent of Reform School Denies Charges Of Auditor in
 Lengthy Document

The long expected answer of Sup dustrial school at Fort Grant. to the report of State Auditor Callaghan has finally been released. It is eX- ceedingly lengthy containing more than forty closely typewriter pages in which the actions of the auditor are taken to task pretty strongly and he whole thing characterized as matter of persecution of the super intendent by the state auditor
 Mir. Whipple claims in his answer to have been placed on trial together with the school over which he pre- sides by one who was it once grand jury. prosecutor and judge-a grand jury. prosecutor and judge who had already indicted. tried. pre-judged. convicted and sentenced the accused.
 Tn his answer MT. Whipple places his understanding Of the action of the board of control in authorizing MT Callaghan to make the investi- gation of the school, in q wholly different and contrary light from the interpretation of Mir. Callaghan upon i those acts
 NIT. Whipple says that contrary to the action of the board and the un- dcrstanding of the afternoon the ac- , ton was taken, Mir. Callaghan failed to give him due notice Of the fact that he would forthwith proceed to the examination of the school, but
 that instead he placed the notice in lis box at the hotel and left town
 thereby thwarting Mr Whipple from being present. and that only for
 tunate connection of trains enabled
 that gentleman to arrive at the
 school a few hours after the investi- gation had been begun.
 | Throughout the entire report MT l Nhipple refers to the auditor as the 1 judge" and in some
 places speaks very sarcastically of
 tbe action of the auditor in having with him his stenographerS and the | assistant attorney general while
 making the examination.
 | Considerable space in the report is
 devoted to argument tending to show
 that the auditors findings are not in accordance with the evidence sub i mitted at the investigation.

LITTLE MOLE QUITE USEFUL
Tunnelins Permits Better AeratIon Of
Soil and Favors Entrance Of
Water From Surface.

AS to the economic stains NJ tha
mole it may be said that by its &C.
tiyities 1t commends itself to farmer
and gardener for reasons other than
of its food habits. One of the most
abundant of small mammals. for
ages it has been working over the soil
to the benefit of plant life. This tun-
neling by the shifting of earth parti-
cles permits better aeration of the
soil and favors the entrance of water
from the surface 1t also mixes the
soil and subsoil, carrying humus far
Their down and bringing the subsoil
nearer the surface, where its elements
Of plant food may be made available.
The mole has also a commercial
value, as in recent years, owing to the
gradually decreasing number of wild
fur bearing animals, moleskins have
found ready market. It is signifi-
cant of our lack of attention to small
business matters, however, that Ameri-
can moleskins are not quoted or Of
fered on the markets. All the skins
used by our furriers are imported
from Europe. Auction lists of fur
dealers in London show that more
than 100000 moleskins were sold in
1911. 1912. and 1913. Recently small
lot of American moleskins secured by
the Biological Survey was prepared
and made up by an expert furrier, who
pronounced them in every respect
equal or even superior to European
skins. 1t seems likely, therefore, that
new industry amounting to many
thousands of dollars annually might
be developed In this country. AS the
price of labor in the United States Is
higher than In Europe, it is possible
that for the present the farmer boy
may be the chief beneficiary of the
new industry.

1t is claimed that the flies can even
gauge the thickness Of the skin and
make discrimination. giving preference
to the thin-skinned animals.
The flies suck blood from the cattle
producing irritation and worry to such
an extent as to cause a decrease In
the milk flow from one-third to one
half.
Many remedies have, Of course, been
devised which have been more or
less effective and no doubt there are
plenty of newly discovered cures on
the market, but new remedies are not
always the best.
The following is q rather old-fash-
Toned remedy but 1t has stood the
test OF time, than which no better
recommendation could be given.
Crude cotton seed oil or fish oil and
pine tar mixed. about two parts of
the former to one of the latter. The
two mix readily and are very easily

The late Professor J. B. Smith re-
ported success from the use of fine
tobacco dust in the hair Of the back
and wherever 1t would lodge. He
claimed that tobacco dust is fatal to
the horn fly If this insect stays long
enough to bite the back Of an animal
where the dust has been scattered. 1t
is also claimed for tobacco dust that
it is a good repellent for the stable
fly.
