Prevent Mosquitoes

A month from now, or about
that time you'll be offering fabu-
lous amounts to anybody who will
get rid of the mosquitoes-and
You'll be safe because nobody will
come around to earn the rewards
saws an exchange. But you'll
have the mosquitoes just the same.
Why not do what you can now
to prevent the mosquitoes coming?
Take look around your neighbor-
hood and see if there is a little
puddle of water somewhere that
won't dry up in the next twenty
four hours or so. Maybe there's
one in the little clump of bushes
in the back yard, or maybe there's
one under a walk or shed or some
thing or in the alley. Take look
around, anyway, and see if there is
such thing.
Then, when you've found that
puddle, oil it-just sprinkle little
kerosene on it, that's all. And nc
matter how many mosquitoes you
have had before, you can be sure
there is one place that won't pro-
duce its usual crop.
You remember those little wig
glers" you used to catch in tin
cans when you were kid? The
little fellows that each looked like
Il" printed in light brown and
then cut out of the book? Those
are potential mosquitoes.
If you scoop up some water from
puddle and put it in glass yor
will see some of those wigglers in
it. Let the glass stand a while
and watch carefully, and pretty
soon you'll see one after another
of the wigglers wiggle up to the
surface and stick his tail out into
the air moment. Then he'll col
up like little hoop, with his tai
in his mouth, and sink down to thu
bottom, and IN a few minutes Later
he'll be wiggling around as lively
as ever.
When he put his tail up out O
the water he was pumping 1t tul
of air; and when he put it into hi:
mouth he was breathing that ali
into his lungs. He needs air the
same as any other creature, ant
that is the way he gets it. If he
dosen't get it he'll die.
That gives you your chance
Spread oil over the surface of thu
water, and the wiggler can't ge
his tail through it to get the air
and so he never grows up into
mosquito.
Oil the puddles-that's the way
to fight mosquitoes. 1t isn't ex
pensive, but it is effective. Ever.
place where water stands is a mos
quito incubator. Oil those place
and you will be free from just 81
many bites in the next few weeks

AFTER
RAISE

Word comes from Boston that
Rnl James. former star twirier OF
the Seattle team. who helped pitch
the Boston Braves into the worlds
championship last season. has so
far failed 10 affix his signature TO
n Boston contract for the coming
season. Mn is a holdout for more
Fsaiary.
When he was In Seattle last fall.
James told friends here that he
was receiving a salary OF $1,000
from Boston. but that he would not
sign with the team this year UNI
less the Boston management would
accede to his demand for $4,000 a
year.
Secretary Nickerson OF the Bos-
ton club has announced that Pres
ident Gaffnev positively cannot sec
James demand and has notified
the big twirler that he win pitch
again this year for the same sal
AIRY or he win not pitch az all. The
fact that James has assumed an
I-should- attitude In the mat.
ter leads his friends In Seattle and
elsewhere TO the opinion that he
has received an offer from the Fed-
erai league which he Is seriously
considering. James saw that Les
Mann landed on his feet when he
jumped from the Boston team to
the Feds. and II Is believed he is
considering seriously similar
move N he cannot get his price
from Boston.
