Be WISER, NOT SAD
Here's the Story Of a Mossback
Who Was Stubborn.
Your Help Needed In Teaching This
Community Dangers From Flies
Which Spread Disease.

Once there was a man in this town
who thought the germ idea was "all
bunk" He declared up and down that
1t was a fad of the doctors and
scheme to scare people out of their
wits and make money playing on their
fears. He is wiser than he was nine
years ago, but the lesson was expen-
sive and sadie lost one of his chill
dren with scarlet fever because he
thought the disease wasn't catching.
This is an enlightened community,
but there are still a lot of people here
who pooh-pooh all the fuss we're max
ing about the fly danger. They 5eer
and insist it's the work of bunch of
slick doctors and fool women who
ought to be home minding their babies.
You would be surprised at the number
Of mossbacks who think this fly talk

SUNDAY
SPECIAL SERMONS IN CHURCHES.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1916-05-18

The Annual Clean Campaign
opens in this city Sunday with
special sermons in the churches.
A special program is laid out for
the week but the campaign will
not end then, the good work is to
be continuous and the result, if
everyone takes a hand and does
his share, will be most stgratifying,
This annual campaign is not a
fantastic hobby of some deluded
mind but is a movement that will
benefit every resident of Hope,
make the city more beautiful,
more healthful, more attractive,
make property more valuable,
make the people happier and you
and your neighbor more agree
able. Get behind it and do your
share toward securing these
benefits.
Don't think that if you have
raked the yard and put in a two
by four garden that you have
done all that the community can
expect of you. You have just
started. How about that alley,
is it as clean as it might be. If
your neighbor is mean and will
not clean up his side don't follow
his example, get busy and clean
both sides. And that garbage
pile, you had it hauled out once
but it keeps accumlating. Have
it taken care often as it a great
breeding place for flies.
No matter how dry the season
is or how hot the winds the weeds
will continue to grow all summer.
The appearance of a very nice
yard can be completely spoiled
by gowth of high weeds in the
near vicinity. Probably you
don't own the lot but if you keep
the weeds cut down the owner
will not object or charge you for
the benefit it will be to you.
In closing we want to call your
attention to the program that has
been suggested and again urge
you to cooperate in this matter
and we can all enjoy the benefits.

School Children
Should Fight 'En,

The schools must help in the cam
paign against flies. Each Of the vari-.
GUS grades should take a particular
part of the work, says writer in the
International Harvester company bull
letin. Let one grade canvass the town
and enlist the groceries, meat shops,
restaurants and householders in
movement to clean up alleys and back
yards, provide for proper disposition
of garbage and for sanitary outhouses.
Another grade might make fly traps

and butchers for use at their places Of
business and to the city authorities for
use in public places. That was done
successfully in Holland, Mich, last
year.
Still another grade may collect all
the information which can be secured
on the subject of flies. All grades
may write compositions on THE Fly"
"The Fly's Travels" Confessions of
a Fly" Dangers of Housefy," and
similar subjects. Prizes may be Of
fered for the best essay from each

KEEP FLIES FROM THE SICK
Ono Fly May Bring Sickness to Your
FamiIy-Take No Chances.

Keep flies away from the sick. One
fly contaminated by typhoid germs
may fall into a can of milk and spread
contagion through the entire COM
munity. Fly specks from flies which
have eaten tuberculosis sputum con-
tain certain live consumption germs
showing that the germs pass through
the fly's digestive tract without losing
any Of their deadly character. Deaths
from diarrheal diseases are great
est during the fly season. Don't risk
a case of typhoid, or consumption,
or dysentery in your family. 1t may
be fatal It is sure to be expensive.

is "all bunk" too. A mossback is all
right until he becomes a danger to the
health of the neighborhood by his stub
born ignorance in refusing to help
wipe out the sources of disease and
exterminate disease carriers.
Make it your business to convert the
mossbacks and get them into the army
that is to wage war on the whole fly
tribe here this summer. Once they are
on "our side" they will be valuable
fighters because of their stubbornness.

It is not expensive to get rid of
flies. There are people who may feel
they cannot afford to buy garbage
can or other little necessities of clean
premises. Where there's will there's
way. If you cannot afford today to
spend any money, get your mind on
cleaning up the place and do the best
you can. Use such extra tubs and
buckets as you have at hand. Above
all, don't be lazy. Clean up right
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1916-05-18

One way to control the fly is
to catch it in such a trap as
is shown above. The trap may
be placed near the garbage can,
or any other place that the flies
are sure to come. A simple
and effective trap may be made
from a grocery box by substi-
tuting wire netting for the top
and two sides, cutting a round
hole in the bottom and inserting
In it a wire netting cone with
an eighth-inch opening at the
bottom and a half-inch opening
at the top. Some article OF
food, preferably a fish head,
should be placed inside for bait.
The trap must be elevated sew
eral inches above the ground, so
as to give the flies a chance
to enter. When the trap is full,
it may be emptied by shaking
its contents through a small
opening, ordinarily closed by a
sliding door. The trap described
and shown. in the illustration is
q particularly effective one. as
it was planned with a view to
the fy's habits. The odor of
food leads the fly to enter the
trap at the bottom. Once inside
it is attracted to the top by the
light. When it gets out of the
wire cone it cannot escape. The
trap has the additional virtue of
being inexpensive. It may be
made at cost Of about twenty
cents and about a half hours
time.

MRS. G.. L. TRICHEL

The death of Mrs. Trichel late
Saturday evening came as a sur
prise to many. who though they
knew that she had been in delicate
health a long time and was more
or less OF an INVALID, did not know
that she was seriously i'll until
they learned of her death. Mrs.
Trichel was of a quiet, shrinking
nature, modest and unassuming, a
woman who devoted herself to her
home and church, kind and chart
table, and during the many sue
cessive terms that her husband
served as the popular Sheriff OF
this parish, she entertained with
lavish hands and had friends far
and near who respected her as a
good and true woman.
She leaves one son Mr.. w. T..

ing was successfully planned and
carried out Tuesday night by the
HUMPHREYS, two brothers from
Ward 5, who were convicted for
horse stealing, sentenced to the

had some friends on the outside,
as armed with a gun with which
they threatened the other cell

had no trouble in effecting their
escape thru broken bars and let
ting themselves down with blank.

The community spirit that is beng

discarded it's soubriquet Sleepy Hollow
for that of Wide Awake Progress is
daily growing in beauty and strength
and the bonds of common interests are
being cemented in way that 1t IS be-

At this season of good will towards
all men, the idea has been conceived
that municipal Christmas tree, to be
participated in by all Natchitoches
would stimulate that feeling hundre-
fold. and with the originators to think
was to act and so the plans are being
developed right along, as everybody
is interested and eager to help.
The plan is to have big tree in the
lot next to the Airdome, decorated as
paily as all Christmas trees are, ano
about o'clock on Christmas eve every
body in town gather around and JOIN
in singing songs that are usually sung
at this season, and then Santa Claus
will appear and distribute the gifts
that are to be fruit and pop corn balls,
so that all will share alike.
The tree will be lighted every night
during the holidays and as it will be
thing of beauty, all of the people from
the surrounding country are invited tc
come in at night during the week and
enjoy the sight.
Committees are all busily at work as
it means plenty of work and expense
too. and The Enterprise mas been asked
to accept donations, so either checks
or cash sent IN will be handed over to
the Finance Committee and "volun-
tary" offerings are solicited at once.
