gerous creature, although consid-
cred at most simply nuisance by
most people. This fly is one of the
most active agents in spreading
typhoid fever. 1t spreads Asiatic
cholera and other diseases of the in
testines. 1t has even been known
to be minor factor III spreading
tuberculosis. If the name of the
typhoid fly could be popularized,
perhaps more general idea could
be given of the danger that turks
wherever the pest is present.
Another name which has been
suggested for this pest is even better
than the ordinary term house fly"
This is manure flv." The insect
is quite as partial to manure as it is
to the house. Its chief breeding
place is the manure heap. In era
dieting the breeding place of this
pest, however, the department is
seeking a method that will accom-
plish the work without lessening
the value of the fertilizer. Salts
factory progress has been made
and announcements concerning
new methods probably will be issu-
ed soon.
The fly season begins in the
South during the last part of Feb
ruary, and the departments inves-
tigator of malarial mosquitoes there
is also considering methods for
controlling the typhoid fly.
The department is also investi
eating the stable fly, which is an
important enemy to agriculture, in
that it seriously reduces the value
of live stock. 1t is also suspected
of carrying infantile paralysis. In
Montana the department is con-
Quoting another investigation of a

Bureau of Entomology has bulle-
tin for distribution dealing with

CHOICE OF THEORIES.

Two theories are advanced in an
effort to account for the presence of a
goat in the top of a 4O-foot tree near
Classville, Mo. One is that the goat
climbed the tree to escape from
wolves and another is it laid down
on the tree when it, the tree, was
young, and was carried up by natural
growth. Based upon a rather limited
knowledge of the Missouri CORE
spondent, our theory is that the goat
was carried to its lofty perch by a
brilliant flight of imagination.-Bir-

These proposed departments in
the Iowa scheme are to be:
Public safety.
Agriculture, commerce and in.
dustry.
Public works.
Public health.
Education.
Corrections and charities.
In this plan the governor is to be
head of the department of public
safety and is to appoint five direc-

up the executive council, a body
like a cabinet.
There is also to be a-department
of finance in which the auditor and
treasurer are to be included, and a
legal department which will en-

THE elimination convention call
ed for Minneapolis on March 10 is
not meeting with the most favor
able outburst of enthusiasm on
the part of those wishing to be
candidates or those interested in
the political affairs of the state.
There is growing suspicion on
the part of the majority that few
are trying to put one over for in
dividual aggrandisment. The
callers of the "let-me- tell you who
to-vote-for" convention are noted
men in Minnesota politics but what
they are noted for is at present not
apparent to the casual observer.
The larger part of the names on
the call have a familiar ring to
those who remember the hue and
cry raised a few years ago for a
state wide primary election law.
The same fellows are at present
trying to nullify the effects of this
same primary act by getting to-
gether and debating candidates, as
was done under the old convention
system when it was claimed the
bosses made the ticket which the
convention delegates ratified. The
primary act has had only one trial
and seems to have worked out
satisfactorily to everyone but the
progressive" few who have called
this elimination convention.
Another feature of the convention
to be held on March 10, will be the
total disregard on the part of the
candidates for the recommendations
made and the absolute refusal of
those at present before the primar-
les to be eliminated. The prospec-
tive candidates for governor will
be just as permanent in their in
tentions to be candidates after the
convention as they are at the pre-
sent time.

The Typhoid Fly

We have never heard of the

acquaintance in disguise. The

most appropriate name for the in
sect commonly known as the

borrowed from Wisconsin.


AS to courts the report makes
radical changes and it proposes
also to limit the expenses of the
legislature itself, with neither of
which the Minnesota commission
intends to deal.
Iowa's structure is evidently
much simpler than Minnesota S;
they have no forestry department
like ours, no landed estate like
Minnesota's. Their industrial de-
velopments are on simpler lines.
Minnesota may therefore require
more machinery to take care of a
greater variety of activities.
1t is interesting to note the in
huence of the city commission idea
on this draft. Though they have
got away from the idea of a COM
mission elected by the people,
which is prevailing in Kansas agi-
tation, they have a commission in
effect, with duties assigned to each
member, including the governor.
The Minnesota idea as it is de-
ye1oping is more like the federal
government chief executive who
has no specific duties, and depart
ment heads under him forming a
cabinet.
But it is very interesting to see
how closely in general ideas Wis
consin, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, and
Illinois are coming to the same
ends that Minnesota seems to be
reaching.
