man named Stonecipher, established
float ferry at White Cloud, Kansas
The family came from East
Tennessee.
Ferry after ferry passed to various
owners at White Cloud until ISL

that time there has been no regular
ferry boat, but a steam launch and he

Poultry Lice Do Great Damage.

The offspring from q single pair Of
lice, according TO II. L. Kempster Of
the Missouri Agricultural Experiment
Station, will In six weeks be approx.
mately $4,000. This fact emphasizes
the Importance Of keeping the poultry
free from them.
Lice live upon the bodies OF the
poultry. They deposit their eggs In
the plumsge, generally near the vent
and live upon the scurf, dead skin and
feathers. To get rid Of them remedies
must be applied to the bird. Spraying
the roosts with lice killing remedies
sre OF little value. One OF the best
and most common methods Of getting
rid Of lice is to apply insect powder
which should be we'll busted into the
feathers. A second application ten
days after the first will catch the sec
ond brood Of lice and make thorough
Job Of II. Otherwise II these live the
first application Is Of little value.
A good, cheap and effective louise
powder Is made by adding . mixture
Of one part OF crude carbolic acid AND
three parts Of gasoline to plaster Of
paris, oil that the powder will blot up
When the plaster Is dry pulverize I,
and store In tin cans. Another Of

Whereas, The Interstate Commerce

vestigation, in their decision OF July
29th, 1914, expressed the opinion that
there was need for additional pas
utory fares in Iowa were clearly
shown to be unduly burdensome to
the carriers, the people would cheer
fully acquiesce in a reasonable In
crease. ~
Therefore, Be It Resolved, That
we, the citizens of Manchester and
vicinity, in public meeting assembled
recommend to our Representatives
and Senator in the Legislature that
upon proper showing by the railroads
that such an increase is reasonable,
that the laws be SO amended as to
lix the maximum railroad rate for
passengers travelling in Iowa at two
and one-half cents per mile instead
of two cents per mile, thus restor-
ing to the railroads one-half the
reduction which was made in passen-
ger fares when he present law, ef-
fective February 28th, 1907, was
enacted, reducing such fares from
three cents to two cents per mile,
and that a copy Of this resolution be
sent to our Representatives and
Senator.

FRATERNAL INSURANCE RATES.

The rates charged by Fraternal In
surance Societies should be neither
too high nor too low. If rates are
too high, those who need and desire
insurance the most can not afford to
pay for it, while rates are too low,
the insurance cannot be permanent
and the cost must greatly increase
as the society grows older. II
The Brotherhood of American Yeo-t
men was organized to furnish safe
and permanent insurance at the
lowest possible rate. In nearly all
insurance companies the rates are
much higher than would otherwise
be necessary because so many mem
bers die within few months or
years after taking out insurance and
when they have paid very little to-
the company. The Yeomen have q.
plan which IS absolutely fair and
just to the member who dies soon
after Joining, and to his. family, giv-5
ing substantial insurance from the
very first; and this plan is also fair
to the one who lives and remains .
member: for many years, giving him
safe, insurance at q lower rate than
he can obtain elswehere. Adv.
