mo, I'm the skeleton man with a
circus" Mike answered, and the bar
tender roared with delight
81 was at the Op'ry House last
night" Jabe informed them, and
most laughed myself sick to the
stomach at this yere fat cuss takin' off
that Dutch policeman-ha ha, ha, hal"
Jabe looked at the Juvenile. you
was putty good, too" he admitted,
"takin' off that newspaper reporter
and rescuin' the girl from the burnin'
STRUCTURE. but you didn't do no funny
fall and bust your galluses like this fat
cuss-ha, ha, ha, hal"
Get him to unlock the laugh; he's
a good steady listener" whispered the
Juvenile, and Mike started in.
Fine town this" Mike began. "All
the modern improvements, Ell? Cows
wear nickel-plated bells, streets paved
with grass, and the river has running
water"
"Ha, ha, ha, hal" Jabe reared.
Reminds me of a place we struck
out in Missouri last winter Mike
went on. Same style of public archi
lecture, especially the town pump. But
the hotel there was the hit with us. 1t
was called the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence because the proprietor had
married an Englishwoman and wanted
to be revenged At supper time or
dered steak, and they brought me
leather hinge covered with gravy, so
got up to add an amendment to the
Declaration of independence. The
put the boots to me and covered my
amendment with bruises. Then he
made me eat the leather hinge, and for
two weeks / felt like a garden gate
and l used to slam every time the
wind blew"
Jabe's laugh shook the building.
'The proprietor of that hotel was so
patriotic" Mike continued, that he
wouldn't number the rooms like an
4
ordinary hotel. Every room was
named in honor of a President of the
United States. That evening there
happened to be rush while / was
standing near the desk, and heard
the clerk say: Front, show these gen.
tleuen up to John Quincy Adams and
tell the porter to take that trunk out
of the alcove In Thomas Jefferson.
Front, go and put down that window
in Rutherford B. Hayes. and, here,
take this whisky up to Abraham Lin
coin. Front, what's all that racket in
James Buchanan? Here, take these
cigars to u. S. Grant, and turn off
the gas in Teddy Roosevelt But
nearly tainted when he said, Front,
run sofa into James A Garfield, and
take this lady up to George Washing
tom
When quit them to take my train
Mike had worn finger marks on the
side Of the black bottle and Jabe had
signed verbal contract to go on the
stage as the Juveniles dresser.
All of which goes to prove that
Splashburg isn't SO bad provided you
don't have to wait very long for a

Proud of Business
 Done by Interurban

Little Rock. July 10.-H. L. Cross, Grand Recorder of the A. o. U. w., which is thriving under his admins tration as never before in Arkansas, IS proud of the business being done by the Bentonville- Rogers Interrur- ban. The road was built through his indomitable energy, against odds that would have discouraged any one else. It has been in operation only a year, but it is already demonstrated suc- cess, financially and otherwise.
 From July. 1914, to July 1, 1915, there were 2136 trips made, and a to- tai of 70,76' passengers carried. Mir. Cross estimates that of this number 50,O00 went to Bentonville, and that they averaged spending 25 cents each, which meant $12,500 left in Benton vile. The company operates a self powered car over 100 feet long, fitted to carry mail, express and 100 passen- gers.

ed from the floor of the trap into the cistern nearby. A platform 10x20 feet in size will hold the manure from horses during period of months or from 25 horses for about 20 days. The slate should be 1-inch strips with F to 1-inch spaces between them.
 Experience with naggot traps has brought out the fact that these are most effective when the manure is kept compactly heaped and well moist ened. This is due to the larvae's de- sire to find a comparatively dry place in which to pupate and, consequently, they crawl away from wet manure. Wherever possible, therefore, it is ad- vantageous to preserve all the liquid manure both in order to moisten the pile and because of it's own fertilizing value. In the second place, the plat form should stand not less that foot above the concrete floor in order that the floor may be more easily cleaned. A third point is that old manure does not attract flies for breeding. A lot of manure need remain on the maggot trap but 10 days in order to prevent any breeding taking place in it.
 The maggot trap thus presents the great advantages of being easily con structed and cheap. That it is effec- tive, the experiments at the Maryland Agricultural College have conclusively shown. There it was found that it destroyed 99 per cent of the larvae breeding in the manure and that the number of flies around the College kitchen was reduced by between 67 and 76 per cent. That the reduction in the number of flies was not equal to the percentage of larvae destroyed was due to the fact that thre were other piles on untreated manure else where in the vicinity and that flies bred in these. Such traps may be built in almost any size and they ap- pear to be especially well adapted for controlling the pest under ordinary country conditions.

WILL DECIDE RACING
 BILL ON MERITS
Disposal of Hot Springs Racing Bill Attorney Filed Petition for Re- Hearing Asking Decision
 on Issue Involved.

Little Rock, July 1O.-The Hot Springs racing bill contest is to be de- cided upon it's merits in the Supreme Court, and the decision is expected next Monday, when the court takes it's summer recess.
 A petition for re-hearing was filed by Senator J. P. Clarke, for the State Fair Association, asking that the case be decided upon the main issue involved, and that it be either revers- led or affirmed. This will settle the question of whether or not the bill was vetoed.
 In the original decision the counrt did not go into the question of the vali- dity of the veto, but dismissed the suit on the ground that the relief primarily sought could not be granted as the Acts were already printed. Justice Wood took issue with the Court on this point, holding that the relief could be granted but that the act was vetoed, and was not therefore law.

Washington, July 9.-General Villa telepgraphed an American consular agent at Chihuahua today that he had led the Carranza forces under General Hill into trap and defeated thm in the vicinity of Aguas Calientes. The consular report reached the state department tonight contradicting a message from an American consul at Aguas Calientes earlier in the day, that General Villa had been defeated south of that city and that his forces were retreating northward. State department officials were unable to clear up the discrepancy.
 Secretary Lansing today revealed that many of the consuls in Mexico recently had been sending comprehen- sive reports on the economic situation and some of them had expressed the opinion that while there was food shortage now the problem would be- come generally acute in the southern reuublic within three or four weeks.
 Some of the consuls were outspoken in their suggestion that the United States should take some decisive step within a month.

Carranza Victory.

Laredo, July 1.-Two hundred Villa dead and several hundred wounded and a nominal" Carranza loss is the re- suit of battle yesterday at Barrotar- an, about fifty miles south of Eagle Pass, Texas, according to advices re- ceived by Carranza authorities in Neuvo Laredo tonight.
 Carranza forces under General Ben jamin Garza, it was stated, ambush ed 2,000 Villa troops under General RGoul Madero and pouring deadly fire into their ranks forced the Villas tas to retreat in southerly direction
 Three hundred Villa prisoners in cluding three colonels were taken it is claimed. The colonels, whose names were not divulged, were sum- marily executed. It was statd in Neuvo Laredo tonight that large Carranza force is approaching Mon clava held by Villa troops.

TEXARk ANA MAN FIRST WIT
 NESS BEFORE LC.C. EXAMINER

St. Louis, July 9.-A hearing on the application of railroads running from St. Louis to points in Arkansas Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma for permission to charge higher freight rates between through points was be- gun here today before Examiner Pitt of the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion.
 E. P. Gaines of Texarkana, Texas, who represents several Texas towns in a protest against the application was the first witness. He testified that the present rates were high enough to afford the railroads a fair profit and cited statistics in substan- tiation of his assertion.
 s. w. Gwathings of Washington, D. C., counsellor for the railroads, said the railroads would submit testi- mony to show that the present rates were unfair.

Summer Term Schools
 are Disappearing

Little Rock, July 10.-J. L. Bond, Supervisor os Rural Education, has re- turned from visit among the schools of Clay county. He reports that he found the school at Success has put in course in domestic science and manual training, and is doing good work.
 One of the notable changes which MT. Bond has observed in the schools of the state is the fact that the sum- mer term is rapidly disappearing. Formerly, especially in the rural dis tricts, there were short summer and winter terms, often only one. The tendency now is to merge the two terms into one, running through the winter months, which is found to be much more satisfactory for education al work than the hot summer months.
 It is interesting to note that the in- crease in the average length of the school term in the state has increased in ten years from 92.1 days to 129.7 days, an increase of 37 days, or nearly two months. This shows most gra- tifying increase in educational work.

ELIMINATE THE FLY;
 POWDERED HELEBORO
Powdered HellebOre Simple and Elf. fective Means of Destroying the Dangerous Pest in It's Fa-
 vOrite Breeding Place.

Washington, D. C., July 1O.-An educational crusade against the house fly in which every proper means of publicity should be employed is urg- ed by the Department of Agriculture. In new Farmers Bulletin, No. 67O, 1t is stated that the danger from the house fly must be brought more forci- bly, home to the people before health officers can do effective work. By the expenditure of sufficient pains, any one individual may prevent flies breed ing on his premises, but this will not rid him of the danger from flies if his neighbors are careless.
 There is, however, no excuse at the present time for permitting flies to breed in anything like the numbers in which they have done in the past. The vast majority of flies develop from eggs which are laid in horse manure, and there are two simple ways of des- troying the larvae, as the young in- sects or maggots, which hatch from the eggs are called. Sprinkling the manure heap with a solution prepared by adding F pound of powdered hele- bore to 10 gallons of water will des- troy, according to recent experiments from SS to 99 per cent of the larvae in the manure. It this is not done, the use of simple maggot trap will prove equally effective. By experi- ments carried on by the Bureau of Entomology of the U. S. Department of Agriculture at the Maryland Agri- cultural College, it was found that the trap used there destroyed fully 99 per cent of all the maggots or larvae breeding in a given lot of manure.
 Such trap is simplicity itself, con- sisting merely of a slated platform standing about 1 foot high upon a concrete floor which is surrounded by a rim or wall of concrete inches high. The floor slopes a little toward one corner in order to allow liquid from the manure to be drained off into a small cistern. Ordinarily, however, this drain is plugged with stopper and the concrete cell filled with water to depth of inch in the shallowest part. Each morning the manure is removed from the stable and heaped upon the platform. The flies lay their eggs on it as usual and the larvae hatch as usual. The larvae, however, when about to enter the pupal or rest ing stage, preliminary to emerging as adult flies, invariably endeavor to migrate, crawling about in search of suitably dry spot in which to enter into pupation. In the maggot trap, therefore, as soon as the larvae at tempt to leave the manure on which they have been feeding, they fall through the openings in the slated platform into the water below and are drowned. Each week the drain should be opened and the dead maggots wash
