imports From Europe May Be Re-.
stricted Because of the War.
In 1913 nearly $4,000 worth of flint
pebbles were imported into the United
States, mainly from Denmark and
France. In these countries the flint
occurs as irregular nodules in the chalk
lifts that border certain parts of the
coast. and under the impact of the
waves on the short the hard flint be-
tones freed from its relatively soft
chalk matrix and is gathered in great
quantities from the beaches for ship
ment to all parts Of the world. At
their destination the more irregular
nodules are calcined and ground to a
fine powder for use in pottery manu-
facture, but those that have been well
rounded by the waves are reserved for
use in tube mills. their hardness and
chemical inertness making them de-
sirable grinding agent. .

Screens Complete Cleanliness Work.


>, Screens on all windows and doors,
and if possible around all porches,
should be used as double precau-
tion against possible disease
carriage by flies. After taking the
greatest pains one is certain to
allow few flies to escape destruc-
ton. Screening is a simple method
of making them harmless. It must
be remembered that effective screens
shall be kept in good repair and
shall fit tightly. All doors shall be
fitted with springs to keep them
shut.
In addition to screening the house,
it is well to have the stables screen
ed, so that flies may be kept out of
the manure as much as possible to
reduce their breeding. The milk
room or milk house especially must
be screened so that the disease-germ
bearers cannot get to the milk, their
favorite food and the most favorable
medium in which their filth NAV
grow.
Screening is doubly necessary for
houses in which there are patients
suffering from typhoid, tuberculosis
and other contagious diseases. In
small towns hospitals should be
screened.-C. w. H.

just A Suggestion

If you are an American citizen,
don't talk just to hear yourself talk,
SOf the weakness of your own coun-
TRY; that other countries do not re-
spect us; that they make fun of us,
and that kind of nonsense. If you
don't think this is pretty good
country, why don't you go across
the water and join those who do not
respect us? That's the place for
people who do not like the United
States Co to Germany, Russia,
:, France, Englund, Belgium, Serbia,
Turkey, etc., and try your fortune
with those countries that think the
United States is such a weakling.
Such talk is cheap, undignified and
uncalled for. It is a good idea to
stand by your family through mis-
fortune and adversity-as we'll as
prosperity. The. same thing applies
to your Saltwater Ga
zette.

Warren Shut Outs Argyle.

In spite Of all the threats that
old J. Pluvius could offer, the War
rem base ball team autoed over, thru
muddy roads to Argyle Thursday
evening and handed the bunch of
sluggers of the village a shut out
to the tune of 4 to 0.
The contest was a fast one, of
northern league caliber and was
featured by fast playing by the two
opposing teams. Halbert was in
the box for Warren and was at his
best, striking out 10 men, who
faced him at the home plate. Cline
received in his usual big league
manner. The mighty Sholders was
on the mound for Argyle and while
not at his best threw a fair game
of the safety first standard. Rang
strand was at the receiving end for
the Argyleites.
In the first inning Warren tailed
three runs. German hit a liner to
second, who failed to hold it.
Smith sacrificed and advanced Cor
man to the second stop. Walker
reached first on passed ball.
:Wingfeld flied to third. Cline hit
and brot in German and Walker
Wolfe hit to short, who muffed the
ball and thus letting in Cline. Hal
bert popped one to the pitcher and
was downed at first.

run was made, when Mike German
