HIGHLAND FESTIVAL
COMES NEXT WEEK
Good Program is Arranged for
Both Days and Many Visitors
from Valley Expected

All the plans for the Richland Fes-
tival have reached such state that
there is no doubt but that this fair is
going to be one big success. Already
great many perishable products
have been placed in cold storage so
as to insure their being in first class
shape for exhibiting, while every day
the committee is receiving numbers
of calls from farmers who will have
a large number of things to show.
We give below the entire program
and it is the earnest wish of those
having the affair in hand as well as
all the people of Richland that as
many citizens as possible from the
surrounding towns attend and help
us to make this one Of the best aft
fairs Of the kind ever given in the Col
umbia river valley, both from an ed
cational as well as amusement stand
point. Come along and have good
time at very low cost and show the
people of Richland that you appre-
ciatc an effort to enliven the monotony
Of our usual daily grind.

COLLECTING EXHIBITS

The committee that has charge OF
collecting of the exhibits for the COM
ing Richland Festival earnestly re-
quest all the farmers who have either
live stock or produce which they wish
to show in the fair to notify the COM
mittee at least by Friday, September
3rd, just what they will have and
where it can be picked up to the
best advantage.
The committee will arrange to col
lect all the exhibits for the Festival
but this will necessitate their using
number of cars, and if they know in
) advance just what they can expect to
handle they can arrange routes and
work to a great deal better advantage

NO SERIOUS RESULTS
FROM PROTRACTED HEAT
Richland Swelters for Six Weeks but
Neither the People Nor the
Crops Suffer

Richland has had one of the warm
est summers ever experienced in the
recollection of the oldest inhabitant.
For the past six weeks, without a
single break, the thermometer has
registered over ninety degrees and
many days saw the mercury up to the
108 mark. Wonderful to relate, in
spite of the extreme heat, little ser
ious sickness has resulted and al
though nearly everyone feels more or
less Frustrated and weak, still the
fact that no real serious illness has re-
suited is considered exceptional.
OF course, things are getting pref
dry but the water service has been
exceptional when one considers the
low condition of the river and all the
farmers have been more than agree
lie to working in conjunction with
the local irrigation company in an eff
fort to distribute the water to the best
advantage of all concerned and it is
safe to say that very little, If any,
damage has been done from lack OF
water this most dry season. From
now on, after the break in the hot
nell which occurred on Monday there
will be little further chance of any
continued heat and we can all look
forward to enjoying the coming Fes-
tival without roasting to death.

source of satisfaction to an friends of the Borderland Route and this sat- isfaction is enhanced by the record breaking performance he has thus far made That an auto could run from san Diego Co Bisbee in 36 horus was not believed possible. That the run to El Paso could be made in less than two days was beyond belief of any motorist And to allow for eight hours rest in Phoenix from such a per- formance passes human credibiltiy. There is no such animale."
 No better advertisement to prospec- tive tourists can be issued than & broadcast spreading of this perform ance and full publicity will be given 1t by all of the cities he has passed through When it is considered that the racers last fall made three stages of the trip from Los Angeles to Phoe- nix by the northerly route the run to Bisbee from San Diego in a stage and a half and to El Paso in two days is the more marvellous and the better advertising.
 Baker is not unknown along the Borderland Route for he has travers- ed it a number times. Perhaps he is best remembered from the fact that he was the winner of the El Paso to Phoenix Motor cycle race last year.
 Before leaving Baker said: "I want it understood that if there is a San Diego to Fl Paso or a Los Angeles Co El Paso race. l will certainly be in it. Such a race should be run by the Bor- derland Route as my experience clear. ly shows"
 Neither of the two occupants of the record breaking Stutz showed special signs of weariness and there was no indication that they had made a morn ing run of more than 24O miles and completed GAO and half miles Of their transcontinental journey

MOTOR SPEED KING IS DASHING FROM
 COAST ID COAST
E. c. Baker Visits Bisbee While Attempting to Emulate His Motor Cycle FeatS in a Stutz Racing Car.

Undertaking to lower an coast to coast automobile records. F. C. Baker, who has been the biggest man in mos torcycling, but is now driving a Stutz racer. reached Bisbee at 1929 yester- day afternoon. his elapsed time from San Diego having been 36 hours and 29 minutes After a nasty lunch he departed for El Paso stating that he would surely be in the Pass City be- fore midnight. making it from san Diego to El Paso in less than AS hours.
 Baker, accompanied by w. F. Sturm of the Indianapolis News. left San Diego at Midnight Of the 9th and made the run to Phoenix yesterday arriving shortly before six. They remained in the Capital city until $40 yesterday morning and while there caught five and a half hours sleep. They break lasted in Tucson leaving the Old Pu- eblo at 7:25 and were in Tombstone soon after II. leaving at 11:27. Their tim teo Bisbee of an hour and two minutes was explained by the fact that they could not resist he beauties Of scenery along the canyon road and stopped to ake photographs at three different points and at the top of the divide
 Both Sturm and Baker said there was no comparison between the roads they encountered Friday and those from Phoenix here The hard parts of the trip were the sand stretches be. fore reaching Yuma and some road this side Of that city. Yesterday travel they pronounced as good Bak CT asked anXiously about rains be- tween here and Fl Paso when he was checked at the Bisbee Auto Co. garage by Secretary Gray of the State Auto Association and County Engineer By an He was told there had been no rains at points much south of Albu. querQue and conditions were reported as fair to good. Then he promised tc reach Fl Paso soon after ten last night
 Originally Baker banned to make his record breaking venture over the uortherly route and would consider nc other up to but a short time since Then he concluded that the mud was too deep going via Springyille and Al DuquerQue and that the Borlerlant Route with its year round feasibility was his main chance. He expressed his satisfaction with his change o plans yesterday to Secretary Gray when congratulated on his remark able time

been a car and crew finish in shape to continue on for another 400 or 500 miles and make time without a cer- tain amount of overhauling and rest for the pilots Hence it would be practical to arrange for this conting- ency in this manner; start from El Paso as in the past, early Monday morning, the day of the opening of the Arizona Fair Make Douglas or Bisbee the first night control and hn- ish the first leg fth erace at Pohe- niX Tuesday. Here al lcontrol regula. tions and restrictions regarding work on cars and leaving them in roped arenas under guard should be waived and the machines placed in the shops and tuned for a day of track racing on Thursday at the Fair Ground. Thursday has always been turned Ov- CT to the automobile people and draws the biggest attendance of the week. The track events will not in- iure the cars for the continuance of their journey to the Pacific ocean so they can be sent away Friday fore noon to the night control at Yuma and Saturday would bring the finish at San , Diego, perhaps at the Panama-Califor- mia Exposition which will still be open at that time. Longer time limits at checking and control stations would give another chance to a driver who met with trouble and increase the number of cars to finish
 The Borderland Route is especially adapted to this race Climatic condi- tions are such as to insure pleasant weather in late November and the roads are not crowded with travel of @ commercial nature that would be endangered or interefered with by the racers. There is however, much trav- el westward from the Imperial Valley and for sixty miles but one main road l but no serious inconveniences or ac- cidents have resulted from past races through this section and they will be still further minimized by the con- struction work California is doing at | this time. From Warrants ranch near | Campo there are two roads to San Diego and in some of the previous
 races one of these has been given oy-
 CT to the race for the day and such a 1 concession could be arranged again.
 There is little likelihood of a race
 being proposed from Los Angeles to San Diego and Phoenix this year The
 antipathy of certain counties along
 the direct route along the coast can
 only be overcome by making long de-
 tours and greatly increasing the dis
 tance between Los Angeles and San
 Diego. The concrete and macadam
 roads through the thichy settled
 country south of Los Angeles are to important for commercial purposes to
 be roped on for a race track for even
 day And anyway, Los Angeles has
 not contributed much to the purses if
 at all though a chalk line to start
 from has always been provided.
 So why not the Borderland Road

the investigators found that 062 of a pound of borax, or 0.75 of pound of calcined colemanite tcrude calcium borate) would kill the maggots and prevent practically all of the flies ordinarily breeding in eight bushels of horse manure from developing. This was proved by placing manure in cages and comparing the results from piles treated with boraX and from untreated piles. The borax, it was found, killed the fly eggs and maggots in the manure and prevented their growth into flies.
 In the of garbage cans or refuse piles two ounces of borax or calcned colemanite, cost ing from five cents pound upward, according to the quantity which is purchased will effecual- ly prevent flies from breeding
 While it be safely stated that no injurious action has followed the application of manure treated with borax at the rate of 62 pounds for eight bushels, or even larger amounts in the of plants nevertheless boraxtreated ma. nure has not been studied in connection with the growth of all crops nor has it's cumulative effect been determined, It is therefore recommended that not more than 15 tons of the borax-treated manure should be applied per acre to the field As truck growers use considerably more than this amount, is is suggested that all cars containing boraxtreated manure be so marked, and that public health officials stipu1ae in their directions for this treatment that not over 62 (62-10O) of pound for eight bushels of manure be used as 1t has been shown that larger amounts of borax will injure most plants. It is also recommended that all public health officials and others in recommending borax treatment for killing fly eggs and maggots in manure warn the public against the injurious effects of large amounts of borax the growth of plants. Purchasers of manure produced in cities during the 1y-breeding season should insist that the dealers from whom they purchase give them certified statement to whether or not the manure in the particular car or lot involved in the purchase has been treated with borax.
 In feeding to hogs garbage that contains borax care is also recommended, especially when the animals are being fattened for market Borax is not very poisonous substance and the feeding of garbage that contains it to hogs is not likely to be serious matter. On the other hand. borax In large quantities does produce gastric dis turbances and for this reason certain amount of care is advisable.
Judsonia weekly advance., 1915-06-09

The method for using this substance in the of stables is to sprinkle the borax cole mantle in the quantities given above, by of a flour sitter other fine sieve, around the outer edges of the pile of horse manure The should then be sprnkled immediately with two three gallons of water to eight bush els of It is essential however, to sprin- ke little of the borax on the manure as it is added daily to the pile, instead of waiting until full pile is obtained, because this will prevent the eggs which the flies lay on fresh manure from matching. As the fly maggots congregate at the outer edge of the manure pile. most of the borax should be sprinkled there
 BoraX costs five to six cents per pound in 100- pound lots in Washington, and it is estimated that at this rate it would cost only one cent per horse per day to prevent all breeding of flies in city stables. If calcined colemanite is purchased in large shipments this cost should be consider ably less. At the same time, if the borax is used on the manure only in the proportions stated it's value for use in the garden or for sale to farmers will not be essened.
 In view of this discovery there now seems little excuse for any horse owner or resident of city allowing typhoid flies to breed in his stable garbage
 It is believed that this information will greatly help the health authorities in their campaign against the typhoid fly. The health authorities have long tried to prevent the breeding of flies in city stables through the use of iron suphate as a larvacide. In the of iron suphate, however large amount is required, and other insecticides such paris green potassium cyanide while effective in killing flies, are very expensive or extremely poisonous. Borax, which Is used free ly in most households and is readily available in all parts of the country, has the advantage of being comparatively nonposonous and nonin- fammable, readily soluble in water and easy to handle. It can be purchased at retail for ten cents pound and single pound used as di- rected in garbage pail or open toilet may pre- vent the breeding of hundreds of dangerous flies
