Flyer transcontinental mail train Of
the Great Northern railway-has estab-
lished record that is phenomenal in
the annals Of the United States postal
service It has made eighty-nine con-
secutive trips on time between St.
Paul and Seattle.
This new mark in the carrying Of
Uncle Sans mail was made from April
II to July Is, and the record Is all the
more remarkable in view of the fact
that during those eighty nine days the
White Flyer had to make up total Of
seventeen hours and ffty-6ve minutes,
lost time waiting for the Chicago con-
nection which delivers the mail to it
in st. Paul On one occasion, for ex-
ample, the White Flyer left st. Paul
two hours and thirty minutes late.
Even that handicap did not mar Its

delivered in Seattle ON the dot.
Postal authorities in Washington,

partment superintendent all declare
the record of this train is unprecedent-

The greatest single accomplishment
Of the Great Northern's White Flyer
perhaps was the shortening of the time
of mail delivery a whole business day
between New York and eastern points
to Seattle, as well as between Chicago
and Seattle and the Twin Cities and
Seattle.
1t Is 1914 miles from the Twin
Cities to Seattle, and thirty minutes Of
each day there is only one Of the
White Flyer fast mail trains on the
road, Mondays train arriving in Sc

parture Of Wednesdays train from St
Paul. The scheduled time for the
White Flyer from st. Paul to Seattle
is forty -seven hours and thirty min.

miles an hour. This is the fastest long
distance railroad operation in the
world, Notwithstanding that the Great

and the Cascades.

The White Flyer is ten hours and

movement has received the endorse

the United States and has been adopt
ed by the Board Of Education Of the

rendered necessary BY local conditions
The Board Of Education is to be con-
graduated upon being among the first
to adopt this plan and we hope they
will have the hearty cooperation Of
the parents in carrying it out.

Indian ingenuity.

Sir Ernest Shackleton tells an anus
ing little story Of northern Canada.
A government geologfst. with inf
mite labor. had collected some very in
teresting geological specimens in q
region far beyond civilization. Most
of the collecting was done on the bar
rem ground 28O miles northeast of the
Great Bear lake. The scientific man
and the porters Of the party carried
the rocks on their backs to the Great
Bear lake. padded 800 miles across
the lake. and alternately padded and
portrayed 1900 miles up the Macken-
zie. Slave and Athabasca rivers.
The last portage was half a mile
long at the Grand Rapids of the Atha-
basca, and it was done by Indian en-
ployes of the Hudson's Bay company.
The Indians were ingenious men, and
they still tell with pride how they

with the feeding and breeding power
of a fly is at any great disadvantage

that expects to produce but few OF

Flies are of no consequence except
as they affect the food. They do not
start any disease They serve to carry
them from one place to another. One
farmer may get typhoid in his milk
and then spread typhoid to hundred
farmers milk by emptying it into
common vat From this common vat
500 consumers may obtain their milk
Thus typhoid may be spread all over
town. But about the only chance for
solid food like bread. meat, and sugar
to spread typhoid is through the help

fly breeding The second best is to
feeding. The third best thing Is to
defend oneself against the flies that
have come Sometimes it will be pos
sible to screen them away. This works
well enough with dwellings. The few
flies that get into well screened
house can be swatted, or caught with
paper or killed with poison.
Where the doors are opening con-
stantly, screens are sometimes OF lit
tie service and sometimes none at
all. Under these circumstances. what
Is to be done?
Usually 1t will be possible to protect
the food supply with cases, screens, or
mosquito bar. Anything kept in the
icebox will be protected Flies sud-
denly entering an atmosphere Of SO
will escape If they can. If not. they
slow up At about 4S they lose their
ability to fly. At q, five degrees be-
low freezing. most. Of them die.
The best method of Kidding a dairy
barn. milk house, or store of flies will
depend on the number present and on
other considerations. When flies are
abundant the use of fly traps is the
most effective method.
Sticky fly paper has some advan-
tages and some disadvantages. A few
saucers containing mixture of one
pint Of water. one tablespoonful of
formaldehyde commonly known as
formalinl. and one tablespoonful of
sugar will be efflcacious. II not much
water is exposed in the room
The proposers recommend that
pieces of bread saturated with this So
luton be placed in plates and these
exposed In places inaccessible to chill
dren and domestic animals.
When the place is not being used 1t

per, fly traps. or fly poison, placed
near an undarkened window, will be
doubly effective
