Lambertville a FIyless City.

The fly is small, it has several
eyes, two wings and six legs.
The fly lives on the flesh of dead
animals, and it is in dirt and filth,
and ash and swill cans, and then it
comes into the home and goes on
the food, and that is the way so
many people get disease -. 20
The ways to catch the fly are by
killing, swatting, and by use of
fly paper
To keep the fly from your home
use screens without any holes in.
them, keep the yard clean, do
not have manure heap near the
house, and keep the cellar and barn
clean.
We were not bothered with any
flies during the winter months, be-
cause they were at their winter
homes, but summer is coming now,
and we will be bothered with them
again.
We tore down our screens when
winter came, now we must put
them up again in order to keep out
flies. Wessmust get our swatters
out and swat all the flies we see,
because the city doesn't want any
more disease.
We are trying to get all the flies
out of Lambertville, and if the
people observe these rules, Lambert
vile will be the first city in New
jersey without flies.

DISAPPEARING cHINcHILLA.

Among the animals notable for
their size, beauty, singularity of
form or the value of their fur or
horns, which are being driven more
or less close to extinction by hunters,
is the chinchilla of South America.
This little animal has its home prin-
cipally in the ranges of the Andes in
Chile and Bolivia. It burrows in
the ground, and bears a general re-
semblance to rat, except that it is
covered with silky, light gray fur,
which has long been a favorite in
the markets of the world. Of late
years chinchillas have been slaugh-
tered in season and out of season,
until now they are threatened with
extinction. The usual method of the
hunters is to chase with dogs, the fox
terrier being particularly skillful in
capturing them.

WORLDS WORKERS IN DIAMONDS.

Antwerp is known as the center of
the diamond-cutting industry of the
world, and how much of an industry
it is is surprisingly shown by the
recent publication of figures giving
the number of diamond workers in
the various countries. In 1871 there
were at Antwerp only 800 diamond
workers and their annual wages
amounted to $4,000, but in 1911,
the industry having passed beyond
the limits of Antwerp, there were in
Belgium 10000 diamond workers
and their wages amounted to $S,000,-
900. In comparison there were only
5000 diamond workers in Holland,
500 in Germany, 400 in Switzerland,
800 in America, and 100 each in
Paris and London.

NORFOLK, Va, February 2S-The
British steamship Sachem, from Liver
pool, via Boston, to Norfolk, contin-
ued hard aground today. five miles
north of Hog Island. on the upper
Virginia coast. where she struck Sun
day, with the British freighter Rivers

still fast near Little Island, on the
lower Virginia coast, where she
stranded Friday night.
With the wind blowing thirty -four
miles an hour from the northeast,
causing high tides. conditions were
today favorable for both steamers and
there is strong hope that they will
soon be floated without material in-
jury.
The wrecking tug Rescue has sue
ceeded in moving the stem of the
Riversdale seaward and is preparing
to pull on her again at the next high
tide. The Riversdaie's cargo OF lum-
ber is being thrown overheard and
saved on the beach.

NEGRO MAY BE CHARGED
ACCESSORY TO MURDER
James Conley, Who Testified
Against Leo M. Frank in Phaean
Case, Faces Accusation.

ATLANTA, Ga, February 2S.-Interest
in the murder of Mary Phagan fourteen
year-old factory girl, for which Leo NJ.
Frank is under death sentence, was re-
vived by the prospect that James Conley
would be placed on trial here today on
a charge OF being an accessory to the
crime. ConIey. a negro sweeper at the
factory where the girl was murdered, and
of which Frank was superintendent, testi-
fed at the Iatters trial that he had help
ed to dispose of Mary Phagans body
after Frank mad killed her.
Publication of two affidavits charging
conspiracy to produce false evidence
against Frank and alleged to have been
sworn to by witnesses against him at his
trial added new angle to the mystery
surrounding the factory girls death. One
of these. accredited to Alfred Mcknight, a
negro, alleges that the story of Frank s
movements on the day of the murder told
by Mcknight as witness for the state
was untrue and had been prepared by !
white man. The other affidavit, alleged
to have been sworn to by Mrs. Nina
Formby, who gave evidence to the police
during the preparation of the case against
Frank. is said to charge Illegal manipu-
lation of evidence against the young fac
tory superintendent

LONDON, February c3.-The killing

Villa occupied the most prominent place
In all the newspapers Of the British Isles

the leading liberal papers. says:
1T is impossible not to suspect that
the execution of Benton was no bet
ter than murder. The facts are pretty
clear, but it Is difficult to draw any
lesson from them except that the Mexi-
can leaders still conduct their war
fare with the barbarity of the middle
ages and that President Wilson would
be far from the end of his difficulties
even though Gen. Huerta were driven
from power
"If there were only one Huerta Mr.
Wilson. might be able to obtain the de-
cent government based on the consent of
the governed which he desires for Mex
ico but there are too many Huertas-
