Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
The stable lily is regarded by the
department of agriculture as men
ace. not only to domestic animals, but
to human beings, and this Is the sea-
son of the year when means for ex-
terminating and controlling the pest
should be adopted In this connection
the department recommends, among
other things, the Hodge fly trap, SIM
pie, easily constructed contrivance, as
one of the most effective meas
ures in destroying the fly. The flies
frequently attack mankind, and during
severe outbreaks men engaged in field
work are often annoyed by them.
In the southern part of the United
States the stable fly is a source of
great danger to live stock, and to
the welfare of the community practi-
cally throughout the year In the
Northwest the fly seldom becomes suf-
ficiently numerous to cause annoyance
except during the latter part of the
summer and early fall. The most Sc
rious damage caused by the fly, how
ever, is in the grain belt.
Practically all warin-b looded ami
mails are attacked by flies, while mules
in general seem to be more annoyed
than any other animals. Horses and
cattle are severely attacked while
sheep and goats are prey for the fly,
which attacks them on all parts of
tao body not protected by the wool,
particularly the legs, and hogs are
subject to annoyance by the pest, es-
pecially when they are in pasture.
Trapping the Flies.
The Hodge fly trap is designed so
as to catch flies both as they attempt
to enter and leave windows. 1t con-

framework made to fit closely in a
window On the floor OF this frame
work is a bait pan containing any kind
of food material attractive to the flies.
Both the inner and outer sides of the
frame are covered with screen wire,
arranged in such way as to provide
three rows of openings leading to the
interior.
One opening is a space one-half inch
wide between the floor of the trap and
the lower screen wire. There is
one such space on each side run
ming entirely across the window.
These openings admit flies directly
into the space containing tie bait.
This is covered by a roof of screen
wire along the ridge Of which holes,
large enough for flies to pass, are
punched at two inch intervals High
er up the sides are two rows of open
ings formed by bending the screen
wire inward and upward to form two
horizontal folds running across the
window.
A series of small holes are also
punched along the inner edge of each
of these folds. Thus there are three
rows of openings on each side of the
trap, one at the bottom leading direct
ly to the bait and from there through
the holes in the ridge to the interior
of the trap. The two above this are
openings through folds of wire which
lead directly to the interior of the
trap These openings higher up on
the sides provide a way of entrance
to the trap even If the flies caught
are so numerous as to stop up the
openings in the ridge covering the
bait.

 SALE OF CAESAR MIsCH, INC.


 All good things must have an end, so Saturday is the last day upon which the public of Bridgeport and vicinity can participate in the very great bus mess birthday values given in cele-s bration of their 22nd Anniversary by Caesar Misch, Inc. Of course, in or der to bring this sale to q successful close one might expect the unexpect- ed from this wide-awakezs firm, and true to this reasoning, they have rush. ed into the sale many new entire lines of wearing apparel, marked at prices that are surprisingly low. This makes the last day, just as interesting as the opening day for people who have al- ready attended this sale. In addition many prices have been again lowered, offering greater bargains than ever. Men, women and children now have the opportunity of being clothed from head to foot in the latest styles of the season, in dependable qualities of materials at prices which indicate the extraordinary purchasing power of this firm, which is one of a chain of successful stores. Cheerful Credit, so popular to those who wish to open a gradual payment charge account. No cash is required at the time of pur- chase. Extra preparations have been made to care for the anticlpated last day rush, so that all may have an op- portunity to buy what they wish.

Love thee? Thou caret not ask of

 She can see that she is quite as fair as they. When young men call upon her, she does her best to entertain them They bid her adieu. asking the privilege of calling again. But they seldom If ever, avail themselves of her permission. Yet these same young men call upon other girls who do not lack callers every evening. Tn fact, their parFor is full of beaux. Every young man admires and is attracted to them They do not lack marriage proposals.

 A few years ago the Day Nursery needed financial help. The way seem ed dark before an almost discouraged leomTnittee when a. number of young girls about fourteen years of age said. ssWe will help you. We will unite and work for money and be called t4The Thimb1e C1ub.'' Some of their number have recently married, but they still continue loyal in their work Of love for the Day Nursery, and have been largely instrumental in acconi- p1ishing the wonders wrought by that society.
 Other young girls, some of them daughters of committee members said, What can we do to help people, just as the Thinnble Club does?" Some one suggested the Girls Club, and the spirit of love bounded with joy. in every young heart as they said, We will be their Little Sisters and so and breathed the life giving breath Of loving sacrifice. That was two years ago. The girls are now in their early teens, but their ability as busl- ness women Is unQuestioned.
 They made a speciality of jams and jelHes, and cleared over $500 for the Girls CIub~ in 1913.

No mother or out sider is allowed to help or interfere in any way.sM When first organized they seemed to realize that courage and energy were worthy substitutes for lack of years and experience. Ar ibitrary methods seemed necessary to suppress devoted mothers. relatives and friends.

Whispers have been heard of sticky door knobs and sugar coated floors, but sweets to the sweet is inevitable.
 The buying of fruit, sugar and other supplies is done wholesale by one member of the club. When supplies satisfactory, but still they persevere. The girls take turns in doing the most 1aborious part of the work. Some times the jelly will not set and causes anxiety and loss, but they heroica1ly struggle on without older heads or hands to help them, and thus learn lessons that are as helpful to them as the money is to the Girls Club.
 When the thermometer registers in the nineties an auto luncheon in the cool woods dances gaily before their imagination to tempt tired little bodies and minds, while others think wearily of a happy party enjoying cool breeze on dancing waves; but thoughts of pleasure are firmly put aside when there is work to do.

 In every community there are a1- ways societies and individuals doing good without any expectation of per sonad reward. other than that derived from seeing practical results in the relief of suffering and the betterm ent of social conditions. O
 Likewise our city has always been blessed with public-spirited men and women. Few Of the present. genera tion realize the debt of gratitude we owe our worthy forefather, P. T. Bar mum, for his gift of parks. The charming location of Seaside park with shore front extending to Black Rock, is a marvel of beauty to all vis- itors. He also gave Washington park.
 We revere the memory of James w. Beardsley for the gift of a park of such large area and varied surface, that it offers tempting promises of continued beauty It's river shore walks and drives are seldom equa1ed < in any city. Such gifts are rarely ap- preciated during the lifetime of the donors.
 Benevolent men and women of the past, nevertheless have given freely of their abundance, while others less for tunate have practiced rigid self-de- nial to contribute, money, time ana strength for the betternent of their fellow-citizens. Is it strange there fore that the blood of such ancestors is still apparent in our city in ben evidently inclined young people and children?
