DULUTH WANTS MEETING
Zenith City Would Entertain North
ern Minnesota Editors at Next
Summers Outing Session. -.
INTEREST IN THIEF RIVER MEET

Duluth wants the summer outing
of the Northern Minnesota Editorial
association, and at the business meet
ing of the association which will be
held at Thief River Falls next Fri
day and Saturday, a formal invita-
ton will be extended to the editors
and their ladies to 60 to Duluth next

ledge, secretary of the editorial asso-

ton held last summer was partici-
pated in by 100 editors, publishers
and others, and included trips on
Rainy river, Lake of the Woods and
visits to International Falls, Spooner,.
Baudette and Kenora, Canada. The
success of that outing has melted Du-
luthians with a desire to have the
editors as their guests next summer

Asa Wallace, owner of the Sank Gen.
ire Herald, will urge the members
of the association to hold their 1915
business meeting at Sank Centre, &C

Mr.. Wallace.
Much interest is being taken in the
business meeting at Thief River
Falls. The program is an exception

those who will read papers are
number of men who have made sig
nal success of the printing and pub
fishing business, notably J. G. Nor
rison, of the Morris Tribune, editor

very best in the hisory of the asso-
citation.

The examinations will commence

throughout Friday. A local test
will be given in every subject taught
and the results will mean great
deal towards the promotion of stu
dents at the close of the term. .
Much interest has been . aroused
among high school students, as the
result Of an announcement made by
supt. Dyer yesterday when he
told of a plan to hold another dec
contest,4similar to- those
of two years ago. Each class will
select two of it's best speakers and the
eight will compete for prize of ten
dollars which has been offered by
A. P. White, president of the North
ern National bank.
To Have Two Speakers.
From each class will be-. selected
one humorous and one serious speak,
er and the prize will be divided into
four parts. A first and second cash
prize will be made to the two best
speakers of each division. No spe-
cial date has been set for the contest,
further than that it will be: shortly
before the Easter vacation.
Miss Clarice Coult, of the English
department., will have charge of all
preparations and will coach the con-
testants. Miss Coult has had much
experience in this work and her as
sistance in the selecting of proper
readings will be valuable.

the temperature was lower, the
traps success was not so marked.
This was accounted for by the
fact that when the air is much
colder than the manure heap the
larvae will not attempt to leave
the heap and therefore will not
fall into the basin.
Another difficulty experienced
arose from mosquitoes using the
water in the basin and the cistern
to breed in. This was overcome
by cleaning out at regular inter-
walls and by sprinkling a little oil
over the surface of the water in
the cistern.
Properly constructed, such a
trap offers no obstacles to the con-
venient and economical handling
of manure. 1t is essential, how
ever, that each days addition to
the heap should be sprinkled with
sufficient water to keep the man
ure moist but not enough to
cause teaching. The details of the
construction of the trap are con-
tanned in the bulletin already men
toned. This particular trap was
designed to hold the manure pro-
duced by three horses for three
months, but there is no reason why
larger quantities should be treat
ed in the same way, by building
larger traps or by building sew
eral Of smaller size.

Device For Getting
Rid Of Files

A maggot trap which will prac-
tically prevent the breeding of the
house-fy is described in a new
bulletin of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture, No. 200, "a Mag
got Trap in Practical Use; an Ex-
pertinent in House-Fly Control" ."
The investigators who carried on
this experiment at the Maryland
Agricultural College declare that
during August and September at
least SO per cent of the larvae
breeding in the manure were de-
strOyed, and although the trap
was not so efficient when the
weather became colder, even then
it greatly reduced the number of
flies.
The principle Of the trap is SIM
pie, it is easy to construct, and the
expense is said to be probably less
in the long run than the invest
ment which many farmers now
make in screens for their dwell
ings, and sprays and fly-nets for
their live stock. In its toughest
outlines the trap consists of a con-
crete basin with a latticed wooden
platform erected upon it to hold
the manure. The basin is con-
nected by drain pipe with small
concrete cistern. The bottom of
the basin is filled with water into
which the maggots breeding in the
manure drop, as they are about to
turn in the pupa or chrysalis
stage, and are drowned. At fre-
quent intervals the water is run
off into the cistern and is then
pumped back on the manure pile
In this way all the liquid manure
is saved.
The successful operation of this
trap rests upon several facts con-
nected with the habits of the
houSe-fy which have been thor
oughly established by observation.
The adult fly lays its eggs in fresh
manure. There they remain until
the Iarva stage is almost over and
the insects are about to enter the
Lupa or chrysalis stage At this
time a pronounced tendency to mi
gate is evident In consequence
if the manure is placed upon a
platform with a lattice work bot
tom the larvae, while migrating,
will fall through these openings
into the water in the basin below.
In the case Of the experiments at
the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege a careful count showed that
between July 25 and October |
about 10000 larvae were killed in
this way. This, however, does not
include the number that were pick
ed up from the basin by sparrows
or poultry. Altogether it is esti-
mated that during the warm wea-
ther the efficiency of the trap was
probably SO per cent. Later, when

CREDIT LOAN IN SWEDEN.

IN the wake OF the allies $780,
600, 900 credit loan comes word that
Germany has just negotiated a credit
loan 81 Sweden. The amount OF it is
40, 600 coo kroner. 1t was foated by
the i've principal banks OF Stockholm.
This loan is intended for precisely
the same purpose as the allies Amer
lean lOan-to, steady international ex-
change between Germany and Sweden
and facilitate payment for the sup
plies that Germany has been purchas-
ing in that country.
The parallel goes farther than that.
Sweden is pronouncedly pro-German.
1t is estimated that the proportion OF
Swedes favoring the Teuton cause is
about 90 per cent. There was oppo-
sition TO the German credit loan in
Sweden on the part OF the minority
just as there was opposition here to
the Franco British loan, but it was put
through nevertheless because of the
general conviction that it was for the
best interests of the nation.
1t would be interesting to know
whether the American citizens who
opposed the allies loan on the score
of American neutrality would call that
Swedish loan unneutral.
