the roosts three or four times as large
as this model
The roost is given this steeple shape
and placed above the ground for several
reasons. Its shape makes 1t resistant
to high winds, and also allows the sup
porting posts to be fitted with contrivances
which prevent the bats enemies from
gaining access to the inside OF the roost.
1t also permits a wagon to be driven
underneath it, in order to receive the
accumulated guano from the hopper, hav-
ing an opening on hinges, which opens
downward, thus permitting the guano in
the hopper to be easily collected.
The advantages of this artificial roost
over the natural ones-bat caves-are
self-evident In the natural bat caves,
during the breeding season, the bat suf-
fers most from its natural enemies, for
shortly after the baby bats are born they
cling mechanically to the mothers body.
Very frequently they loosen their hold
and fall to the bottom of the cave. Here
these baby bats fall prey to wild ami.
nails, which are always in and around.
these caves at this particular season.
If one of these baby bats falls to the
floor of the caves the mother bat' will
dart to the same place to try to protect
her young, and also falls victim to the
wild animals. All this danger is COM
pletely avoided and rendered absolutely
impossible in one of the roosts, as no
animal except a bat can enter one of
them. 1t is therefore evident that with
such protection the bats will increase
30 rapidly as to tax the capacity of the
roost in very short time.
The bat roost at Mitchell's Lake Is at
the head of a large body of standing
sewer water; in fact this lake holds all
the sewage Of San Antonio, a city of
about 126l000 persons, and 1t is an ideal
spot for the breeding of mosquitoes, as
the lake covers about 900 acres of land,
and the average amount of sewage re.
eeived by It daily in 100000 gallons
The very large quantity of organic
matter left in water, the large pools
formed by seepage through earthen dams

and the countless billions Of MOSQUITOES
that this place has furnished in the past
amply proves this assertion.
The roost was finished on April 2,
1911. Before locking the louvre, the in
side was sprayed with a chemical fluid
which gives off an odor identical with the
natural odor OF the bat, and without
which chemical fluid the bats cannot
be colonized. Twenty-Five pounds of
fresh guano were then spread in the
hopper Of the roost, and in four months
1t was tenanted by colony of bats at
tracted there by these odo-s. The next
year the roost became SO full of bats
that it took them several hours to come
out, and they were so thick that in the
sunlight they resembled cloud and gave
the roost the appearance of being on
IRE. The roost is now full of bats.
Persons living in cold climates need
not fear that the bat cannot be success
fully cultivated and colonized there, for
his habitat ranges from Alaska on the
north to Patagonia on the south. In
very cold climates, however, the amount
OF guano produced in these roosts would
be much less than in hot climates, as the
period of Information would be much
longer and the period of the bats &C.

spondingly smaller. ALI malaria, how

vantages over natural bat caves are self
evident.
Citizens of the region declare that
since the erection of the bat roosts there
they can sleep comfortably out of doors
at night without mosquito bar or any
other kind of protection; while before
this roost was located there it was ut
terly impossible for them TO sleep even
in the houses, except with screens and
mosquito bars These citizens also tes-
tify to the entire absence of any malaria
in their families now. and they term this
roost "a miracle" They also state that
before the erection OF this roost they
we're sll sick at one time or another with
malaria, and that mosquitoes came there
in such hordes that they we're driven
from their work OF irrigating their crops
at night, and were forced to see their
crops go TO ruin.

constructing "bat roosts,"

GROWERS ARE
ENJOYING PROSPERITY
Business Still Below Normal
Retail Lines Stronger
South Hardest Hit.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Bradstreet's to-
day says:
1t is evident that fall trade is below
normal; that Industrial operations are
quiet; that bank clearings, with stock
markets closed. continue on the down
grade; that failures are numerous, n
that the general rule is to buy for
nearby pressing needs rather than to
V future requirements. PerpleXities
arising from high or low prices, as the
Ease may be, upset calculations, while
the difficulties encountered in getting
ready money at reasonable rates,
checks buying IN a great many lines.
On the other hand. it must be on
coded that farmers in the surplus
wheat producing regions have pros
pered; that retail trade has been stimu-
lated by the cool weather over a wide
area; that Improvement in commercial
paper at some markets is a hopeful
sign; that export trade in cereals con-
t1nues of heavy volume; while it is
certain that more or less business has
been done for European account in
blankets. saddlery, leather, horses,
h~orseshoeS and munitions, and at the
same time the opening of certain cot
ton exchanges in the south for spot
transactions affords a price making
basis for cotton.

SIOUX FALLS WOMEN
ORGANIZED TO COMBAT
PRICE MANIPULATION
Committee Appointed to Pre-
pare List Of Fair" Dealers
May Try Cooperation.

Sioux Falls, s. ID, Sept. 2S.--As a re-
suit of several recent meetings a large
number of women of Sioux Falls have
perfected the organization of a House.
wives league. which is designed to
combat the evil Of high prices. The
officers are: President, Mrs. d.. r.
A. Lundquist; vice-president, Mrs. M.
III. Egan; secretary. Mrs. j.. Cogan;
treasurer, Mrs. J.. Cogan.
1t was decided to place the member
ship dues at a small amount per year
so all of the women in the city could
be reached, as 1t is desired to make the
scope of the new league as wide as
possible.
A committee was appointed to in
spect shops and stores and to investi-
gate scales of prices. This committee
was given power to prepare a list OF
fair" dealers, one of .'short weight"
dealers and another Of dirty shops"
and these lists will be posted for the
information of members Of the new
league.
Later the subject of milk inspection
and prices will be taken up, and also
the question of bringing the product
OF the farm to the consumer at the
cheapest price. Another committee was
appointed to Investigate the matter of
having the housewives purchase vari-
GUS articles of food in large quantities
and thus reduce the cost of living. This,
1t was claimed, has been very success
ful In several cities where it has been
tried.

the earl of Aberdeen, lord lieutenant

to give is a free will offering of free
