Our little town is making some
advancement and we are trying
not to be behind in anything
that is for the growth of the
place. A short time ago the
bishop had new lights put in
the meeting house and the hall
above; also one outside. This
has added much to the looks and
convenience of the place. Some
work has been done on the stage
in the hall and during the holi-
days several plays were put on,
which were rendered in a veny
creditable manner.
Last Sunday the Parents Class
of the Sunday school took steps
to improve the road down the
lane, which was nearly impassi-
BILE. Alma R. Turley and Elmer
Gardner were appointed to look
out a place where gravel could
be had suitable and as near as
possible. James d. Smithson
was appointed to visit every one
and urge them to help in the
matter and Lehi Howard was
appointed to take charge of the
work. On tuesday the work
commenced with vigor, and the
sisters arranged and got up a
magnificent supper which was
served in the meeting house to
all the town, it would appear
from the number that attended,
but there was plenty for all and
of a first class quality. The
work was continued with a
larger force on Wednesday, and
today many teams have gone tc
work. The bishropic have prom
ised the boys a free dance on
Friday, which has helped to
keep the work going.
The Lower valley project can
now be said to be a success as
the ditch and fume are practi-
cally done. They have had the
water in the valley and some
work of preparing the land has
been done and in a short time
we look for little town there,
and prosperous one, too.

Herald Gets the County
Printing for Year 1915

Once in awhile a newspaper
picks up a little on the side in the
way of printing-not enough to
crow over, but just enough to
still make it want more. Just
like some fellows about money
the more they get the more they
want. Well, it happened to be
lucky last Tuesday over at Hol-
brook and the board of supervi-
sors-the new beginners just
starting out-felt good a n d
awarded the county printing to
this paper. The publishing went
to the Holbrook News. We
never heard of a newspaper get
ing rich off a county printing job
and we don't expect to, but
every little bit helps. All ready
we have been besieged with work
for the new county officials, such
as letter heads, envelopes, etc.,
and if the HERALD isn't out on
time this week you'll know the
reason why.

SCIENTIST BREEDS BUGS
TO WAR ON THE FLY

Will deVOur with vOraciOuS ap-
petite the larvae of the COM
mon house fly, to which, with
its power of carrying disease
germs. is accredited many of
the woes of mankind, is the eto-
mological wonder which DR..
Adalbert Fenyes of Pasadena
believes he has almost achieved.
DR.. Fenyes, who has resided
in the Crown City for twenty
years, is so certain that success
will soon reward his many years
of research and the conquest of
innumerable difficulties, that he
yesterday announced the results
of his labors.
This chronological parasite"
said DR.. Fenyes, will shun a
house and human company as a
normal human shuns poison and
and will find it's greatest pleas
ure in the destruction of house
fly larvae. "
He believes that the insect
that he actually had in the grub
from year ago at his home on
ITO North Orange Grove avenue,
Pasadena, where he has invested
many thousands of dollars in an
insectary, said to be the equal of
any in the United States.
But just before the full devel-
opment of the parasite was ex-
pected, drop in temperature
killed the grubs he was so zeal
ously guarding and since then he
has labored almost increasingly
to propagate more.
The nearest thing to the in
sect be desires to create that he
now has is the Aleochara lata
Grvh, which will devour the lar
vac of the house fly as rapidly as
it comes in contact with them,
but also feeds upon the larvae of
many other insec1s.
What DR.. Fenyes is striving to
produce is a "near relation" of
this bug-one which will devote
the energy of it's appetite exclu-
sively to house fly larvae.
The insect goal, which etomol-
ogists agree will be one of the
greatest discoveries of the de-
cade, DR.. Fenyes believes he has
almost reached, though he does
not expect to know positively for
a few months, as his experiments
are slowly made.
The insect sought, to which he
has as yet given no name, except
the generic term, Aleochara, will
fly but little and will not enter a
human home at all, he says. It
iS eYnocted tO eradicate flies from
their chief breeding places.
'The common means of COM
batting the fly evil-the use of
papers and poisons-are not sci
entifc," said DR.. Fenyes, al
though they have a philosophic
value in that when a person has
spread a few sheets of fly paper
about he thinks he has done his
duty.
Harmful insects can be sue
cessfully eradicated only by
means of parasites. This is the
accepted method and the one by
which the work must be done,
sooner or later.
81 hope soon to produce the
insect which will destroy the
house fly, but there are many
obstacles, and a year or two may
find me no farther along. The
present indications, however, are
hopeful.
''There are many varieties OF
flies and stream of these par
asites will have to be produced
to rid humanity of all pests in in
sect form. The house fly is the
most troublesome and it is to it's
annihilation that / am directing
nv efforts. If succeed in this
I Shall next devote my attention
to the eradication of the stable
fly. IL. A. Examiner.

consequently the state has been
cut off from a big revenue.
