The absence Of electric light is caus-
ing many Of our merchants to think ser
iously of installing gasoline systems IN
their places of business. The lack OF
the light have proven serious draw
back to the holiday trade, to say moth
ing of the inconvience occasioned by
having to dub around with smoking
lamps and candles.
The lack of electric power has put the
flour mill and numerous smaller plants
out of commission for the past two
weeks and from the present indications
we may not expect any betterment OF
this condition for some time to come.
The general public has taken the mat
ter quietly so far but is liable to put
IN a strenuous kick unless the owners
of the electric plant get busy soon and
put their power plant into shape to es-
cape repetition of such tie-ups in
future years.

why, how, when, what of the question
has been distributed to every school
child OF the city In order to secure
cooperation in exterminating the
nuisance. The first issue. just off the
high school press, is being distributed
today.
In the first place the circular tells
why the fly is pest because II

lowed by means of determination such
as poison, fly paper. swatter and
traps. Prevention is also outlined by
giving the breeding places and telling
how they may be protected. Because
of the rapid rate OF propagation
spring is suggested as the best time
to kill the fly.
Strict enforcement of the city ordi-
nance for the prevention of flies would
make the city a flyless one, the card
states, because all breeding places
would be cleaned up by the p Sect-
ing garbage, manure boxes. and all
other places where the eggs may
hatch All citizens are called on 10

OFFICER EXPECTS
CALL FOR SOLDIERS
Corporal Abbott Says Rich
mOnd Men Ready to Rush
to Mexican Border.

A call for volunteers will be the
probable result of expected attacks on
the American line by Mexican rebels,
was the belief expressed by Corporal
Abbott, army recruiting officer. Cor
poral Abbott expects Villa to carry on
border warfare In support of Huerta
should matters reach a climax.
I'm the event the Texas border
towns are attacked, many troops will
be needed" Corporal Bond stated.
And if there is a call for volunteers,
the American people will respond as
they always do.
THE men of this town are more
than willing to rush to the front as
volunteers to defend the country and
have had many come to me and as
sure me they would enlist on call"
Corporal Abbott announced that he
will ask Captain Thomas F. Ryan of
Indianapolis to send him to the front
if active war develops and place an
older man in the recruiting office
here.
Corporal Abbott believes Americans
in Mexico are in danger now and stat
ed the best thing they can do is to
travel towards this country as rapidly
as possible during nights.
Probably Americans knowing the
country would not be pressed into ser
vice as scouts, Corporal Abbott be-
lieves. The best type of men, we'll ed
ucated, brave or merry are used in
the scout service even though they
know nothing of the nature of the
land they are in.
AS the constitution of the United
States provides that the state militia
cannot be called out on the offensive
and only to repel invasion, it is prob
able that no discrimination will be
made in the first call for troops, should
any be made. The militiamen would
be given chance to enlist in the vol
unteer forces or in the regular army.
Several applicants were turned away
today and yesterday because Of physi-
cal deficiencies.
