home in this town seems to be
complete without EN-. OF course
if a persons puts screens in the
winders before the flies git into
the house flies don't bother so
mulch, but as a rule Bingville
folks is al1us befinthand in this
matter and by the time they git
around to putin screens in the
winders & doors the house is full
of flies and screens that will
keep flies out will also keep flies
in, and as result most of us has
flies all summer long and part of
the winter to boot
We persoom the reason more
folks in Bingvi1le don't screen
their winders & doors is that they
rfgger that screens is too expensive
& they can't afford en-no, they
would ruther fight flies all summer
long than to pay a few cts for
few yds of muskeeter screenin at
Hen Weathersbys store to screen
their winders with.
Well, let them as desires to be
pesterd with flies be pesterd, say
we. AS edditor of the Bugle we
don't perpose to be aggravated
from now until fall by these pusi1-
animous inseckts, and as soon as
we git this eddytoriu1 dashed off
we shall perceed to screen our win
ders aginst the dodgasted flies.

EDDYTORIUL ON FLYS

When we set down to dash off
a eddytoriu1 at our eddytoriul offs
desk on this bootifu1 & ospishus
May morning with the sun shin
ing outside and the doors & win
ders open & the breeze a BLOWN
its bannmy breth in on us we
couldn't seem to git our thorts
pinned down on ennythink to write
about in psrtickler owing to dog
gone pestiferous and pusilaninous
fly which would light on our nose
and then after we had shooed it
away it would light on our ear and
after we had shooed it away agin
it would fly right back and light
on our chin until we got so COR
rarnrned mad & outen pashients
that we hauled off and struck
vishious1y at said fly missing the
fly and upsetting the bottel Of ink
on our desk which dript onto our
pants and made big spot on the
floor.
After we had went & got the
turrible mess we had made all
cleand up it occurd to us to why
not dash off a eddytoriul on the
fly & we shall do so to the best of
our several ability.
We can't imagine what in dog
nashion fly was ever invented
for. A fly is nothink but a ag-
gervashion to humankind, thorn
in the flesh, as we might say-a
delooshion & snare & as fur as
we be concernd we wisht there
wassent emmy flies in the world
and we don't care who knows it.
Warm wether don't noren git
here until there is moren elevteen
billions of flies appears in Bing-
vile, and they poster us until cold
wether comes agin. We are tur-
| rible glad to see summer come agin
after being shet in all winter long,
but we'd be a good cal g1adder if
it wassent for the dingbusted flies.
We persoom however that life
would be turrib1e nonotnus if it
wassent for the ups and downs
which we haft to go through-if
it wassent for flies we wouldn't
approximate fly screens. In other
words everybody has cross to
bear and in summer time our par
ticker cross seems to be the tar
nashion flies We calkilate we
must take the sorrer along with
the joy and the thorns along with
the roses and do so without re-
pining.
Where so menny flies comes
from in Bingville during the sum-
mer time is MYSTERY to Us. No

cured their freedom.
According to the explanation OF

actly the fault OF the trio. They were
arrested and held for "a hours for lhr

covered by "a deputy sheriff In West
Tulsa.
NJ. i. Henderson. Lon Auspuch and
Warren Wallace were arrested for
stealing the wire. After the sherifrs
office made an investigation and re-
ceived no reports from any one losing

the sheriff's office that the wire vps
stolen from their plant. Sheriff

mCd Will be rearrested within "a few
