Great Success

While the Introduction Of the annual
flower show into this community is
the work OF the ladies Of the Civic club,
the active leaders in which together
with their consistent and excellent
work for the Improvement OF the con-
cNions in this community are too well
known to need personal and detail
mention. have been ably assisted by
ladies who are not members Of the
club In this years work, foremost
among whom are Mrs. Joe Pfeufer and
Mrs. A. M. Baker. the former having
charge of the floats representing the
business houses. and the latter direct
ing the doll carriage brigade.
The ladies' announce that with the
sale of Ice cream and the subscriptions
of the business men, the expenses Of
the flower show this year will all be
amply provided for. Only few bust
ness men refused to lend their aid
and financial assistance to the show.

SHOW APPROPRIATION.

The ladies' OF the Grangeville Civic
club wish to express their very great
appreciation of the support and help
given them in the preparation OF the
recent flower show. Indeed, the club
would Hike the public to understand
that to the citizens generally OF Grange
vile Is due whatever Of credit may
be accorded to the promoters and sup
porters Of Grangeville's flower show.
Many capable women outside the club
graciously gave time, labor and flow
ers to the undertaking and a great
number Of loyal hearted, public spir-
tied men gave of their money to sup
port 1t financially.
The club feels that another year
this flower show can be improved up
on. In this as in other things OF its
spem seFsasIm 6uem eIe eIeql 'puycf
and it ds thru experience that such
mistakes can be corrected. However,
with the support Of the public great
things may be done for our little city.
Again. to the public who SO Loyalty
and generously assisted them, the Ia
dies of the Civic club extend their
thanks.

500 FEET OF NEW FIRE HOSE PuR-
CHASED.

At the council meeting last Monday
night Councilman vandeventer present
ed the need OF the fire department for
additional hose. and DIT was at once
voted to have 500 feet of hose which
would meet all insurance requirements,
purchased for the boys. There is talk
of putting In two additional. fire plugs.
one for the southeast and another for
the southwest portions OF town. The
run from the fire stations to those
sections lie all uphill, and being at
the most elevated points within the
city limits, the pressure Is very hight.
In case OF fire the destroying element
has ample time to get we'll under head
way before the fighters can possibly
get ON the ground. running SO far up
HILL 0hen they have to reel out their
full length OF hose to make connection
with the present MIGRANTS, only to
find an insufficient pressure to meet
the needs. Anything that can be done
to relieve those conditions IN the sec
lions named, or any other portion of
town, certainly should be promptly
acted upon. So far as funds and other
conditions will permit. every taxpayer
and property owner of our little city
should be given all the protection
against loss by. fire that Is possible.
There is also talk of putting a reel
of hose IN the warehouse section to
guard against fire there and at the
same time reduce the rate Of insur-
Ance.

PROFITABLE CROPS.

Speaking of big yields and profit
able crops on Camas Prairie this season
A. p. Schnell, living ten miles west of
Grangeviile. threshed three acres of
White Canadian field peas last week
that went 43 bushels per acre. These
peas were grown on this years sum-
mer fallow and were planted with a
drill about April 1, and were harvested
August 10. The peas we've cut with a
moving machine. followed by two men
who moved the vines out of the way
OF the mower 1t is estimated that II
the peas had been cut for ensilage
while green they would have yielded
from twelve to fifteen tons to the acre.
some Of the vines measuring ten feet
in length
Figuring the threshed peas at the
Spokane market price, which Is five
cents per pound. the returns on the
three acres would have been 1887, or
1923 per acre. which certainly ought
to be very satisfactory returns ON the
investment. Besides tho money profit
received in this case. the pea is the
greatest fertilizing crop known.
Mr.. Scfihell also had rs acres of Red
Russian wheat which yielded 81 bush
els per acre. His oats went rs bushels
and his spring barley AZ bushels to the
acre. He is now summer following 140
acres which he will sow to Red Russian
wheat this fall. Who will make the
next report.

PURE FRESH AIR.

There is nothing like the pure fresh
air and sunlight to give vigor to body
and mind. Many persons make a
great mistake in remaining indoors
and broiling themselves to death all
winter besides the red-hot kitchen
stove. They are mortally afraid of
catching a cold. The parents mag
inc that it is their duty to keep the
children in the house continuously as
soon as frost sears the leaves, and to
see that the doors and windows are
closed, and next to air tight, day and
night. The parents want healthy and
robust children; but they employ en-
tirely the wrong method. Let the chill
dren and everybody else, have all the
life-giving ozone of the outdoor air
possible. The country people have
this inestimable advantage over city
people, and they ought to be wise
enough to make the best use of it. The
fresh air is just as necessary in win
ter as it is in summer.

HOW TO DESTROY FLY LARVAE.

The recent great activity in antifiy
campaigns combined with the recog-
milton of the agency of the fly in
carrying disease created great de-
mand for some sure means of destroy
ing the fly. In response to this the
u. S. Beaureau of Entomology con-
Quoted series of experiments for the
purpose of finding chemical that
would destroy the larvae of the house
fly without injuring the fertilizing
properties of its breeding place-horse
manure.
The most favorable results were OBJ
tanned by the use of borax and calcin-
ed coleminate Both substances are
very efficious in destroying the lar
vac, and neither seems to injure the
value of the manure as fertilizer.
Borax is perhaps the most effective of
the two as, after contact with this
chemical, the eggs will not hatch.
The house fly lays it's eggs about an
inch, or more, below the surface of the
manure, and on account of the tenn
perature they will hatch within one
day. To prevent their breeding, the
manure must be chemically treated.
Apply ST pounds of borax or rs
pound calsined coleminate to every 8
bushels of manure Immediately on it's
removal from the barn. Sprinkle,
particularly around the outer edges,
with a flour sitter or fine sieve. Over
this, lightly sprinkle 2 or gallons of
water for every so pound of borax or
rs pound calcined colemanite. The
treatment should be repeated with
every addition of fresh manure. If
the manure is kept in closed boxes it
may be made less frequently.
The amount of manure from horse
can be approximated at IL or Is bush
els week. AS borax costs from 5 to
6 cents in 100 pound lots, it will make
the cost of borax practically one cent
per horse, per day. And if calcined
eoleminate is purchased in large guam
titles, the cost should be materially
lessened.
