Spe- cialties showed a better tone, National Biscuit gaining 2 points and Willys- Overland preferred 1 point. Dealings were in much smaller volume than on the preceding day.

Local and

A. L. Paschall, the energetic

to the fact that several communi-
ties in this county are contemp1at-

corning the movement MIR. Pas
chall says that "there is nothing
which advertises the resources of
the community and the wide-awake
spirit of prosperity and energy Of
the people SO much as does a good
local fair. Every community
should have such a fair this fall.
| am looking to Benson for an ex-
cellent local fair this fall and do
not expect to be disappointed. It
is necessary, however, that this
movement be agitated and plans
be formulated Immediately. The
University Agricultural Extension
Servicei is willing to assist the peo-
pie in this matter. The best time
for this fair would no doubt be
about the last Of Septemb Der or the
first of Ostober, just before the
county fair, which will probably
take place about October IS. 1t is
expected that this county fair will
be well supported and assisted by
every community in the county
The place for the fair will be chos-

everyone cooperate in assisting and
boosting for an excellent local and
county fairs, and prepare good ex-
hibits for the state fair.

EXtormindte
The Mosquitoes
BY A. l.. PASCHALL,

Having in mind and at heart the
welfare Of the people Of Benson,
and the growth and prosperity Of
the town and county, [ desire to
call Alteration to the necessity Of
the united action of the Benson
people in ex exterminating the mos
"quitoes and flies. These trouble~
some insects are menace to health.
They not only carry disease germs
and inocu1ate the people with these
but they torment the people, lower
their efficiency, and causes the trav-
eler to avoid the town.
+ Flies carry the germs Of cold,
la grippe, typhoid fever, skin dis
Eases, etc mosquitoes carry chills
and malaria fever germs. By the
liberal use Of traps, forma1dehyde
poison, fly paper, and the swatter,
flies can be kept in check.
Mosquitoes do not travel more
than three hundred yards from
their breeding places. These pests
can be totally exterminated by de-
stroYing their breeding places.
They Breed in cesspools,. cisterns,
ponds, reservoirs-anywhere water
becomes stagnant Or remains for
several days. It should be a rec
ognized disgrace for anyone to
keep an open cesspool, privy, or
other place where mosquitoes may
breed. All privies, cesspools,
tanks, cisferns, ETC., should be made
mosquito proof. There should be
no cans, buckets, or other recepta-
cles with water allowed to stand
therein. Pools, reservoirs, etc.,
can be made mosquito proof by ap-
ply a thin skim of oil over the top.
There is much crude oil running to
waste at Benson which could be
used to great advantage IN the
mosquito-killing campaign. Per
manganate Of potash in water will
also prevent mosquitoes from accu-
mulating.
This fly and mosquito campaign
is a movement which should have
the interest and support Of every
one. Let everyone assist and II
will soon be done. The people OF
Benson have demonstrated what
they can do by getting together in
the good roads movement. Get
the good roads people behind
this projec5 and the flies and mos
quitoes will soon disappear.
1t is hoped that everyone who
reads this will give support to The
movement and advertise it.
