LOCAL YOUTH WITH CAVALRY 0N BORDER Fred J. Dimes With Division Re-
 lieyiDS Villa Pursuers SAND STORMS ANNOY TROOPS
Writes From Hacllita, New Mexico- Miss Andrews EngagcIncnt-Hose Company's Secretary III With Dinh- theria--ParccI Post SaIe-LSricfs.

Although postal card mcSsa gCs re- CciNcd some time ago indicated that by now he would be with the United States army in pursuit of Villa and his bandits, Fred J. Dimes of this place, advised his parents, MT. and Mrs. J. r. Dimes, Saturday, that the cavalry division of which he is d mem- Der has been selected to do patrol duty on the Mexican border for the time being at least. While he has been stationed at Fort Meade in South Da- kota for several months, young Dimes is not unfamiliar with the country con- tiSuous to the border, having served on the patrol for some time after his enlistment as a cavalryman
 His letter indicates, however, that he is not enthusiastic over remaining i'll the locality to which he has been assigned, as the weather and the sand are most dlsagrecable. The boy is now in IIachita, New Mexico, from where he writes as follows:
 Dear Father and Mother: Re- ccivcd your letter today and was pleased to hear you are all we'll, as am at present. We received rush or dCrS to go to the border and join that outfit which went over at Columbus, but when we got there we were sent to IlaChlta, which we leave tomorrow. We go farther down the border and will be split up into dctachments to guard certain places along the line be- tween Columbus, N NJ, and Douglas Arizona. We are not now very far from where Villa is reported to be.
 This place here is certainly fierce We are camped in a regular desert and cant do much on account of the sand and dust. We had one of the worst sand storms today I've ever sccn You couldn't see d foot ahead of you, and our meals arc full of sand. I'll be glad when I get back there again.
 ITO get here we canc through lIl PasO, Texas, but only stopped to change engines, as the government or dcrcd the railroad to make forty miles an hour to Columbus. The infantry guard and had guards all along the railroad eS far as here as several troop trains had been fired on.
 Well, I guess I'll have to close now, as there is a fire about eight miles from here and a detail is to be sent to investigate it, as they think it's the town of old HaChita. I'll write later, as soon as we camp again, as we break camp at a. m.

Property in East Berlin Takes a
 Large Jump
OWNERS WILL NOT SELL
Lecad Milk Dealers Will Organize for AI
 Mutual Bcnciit-"Mcrc Man. Is
 Their Number as Class President.

The recent announcement anent the organizing American Fibre company has created tremendous boost in the value of property in that district A general spirit of optimism reigns in tae community and there is a feel ing preval lent that that district will again take it's place of prominence in the affairs of the whole town. While it has not been definitely announced where the new concern will locate, the general impression is that the plant of the Peck, Stowe & Wilcox company will be purchased As a re- suit of this feeling, property owners who a few weeks ago were willing to part with their holdings for nomi- nal sum, now will not even consider selling at all. One resident offered to sell his residence and building lot for $1 500 on February i. Last week tie same people, who were negotiat- Ing for the property at that time, ap- preached the owner with a certified check for the amount agreed upon at that time, but the owner merely smiled and said he would hold onto it for a while longer. Evidently the purchasers were very desirous of ob- taining the land in question, for they added little to the amount offered every few minutes, and finally made a bid of $2,700 The owner wavereG but for only a minute, and replied tAat he would keep it in his own Possession, at least until the new in dustry was started. Several other property owners were interviewed on the question Of selling their proper ty, but all decided to retain posses sion for the time being.

FLIES LAY EGGS IN MANURE
Stable Dung Should Be Sprayed
and Removed Often, Says
Sanitary Specialist.

"The most effective method of con-
trolling flies is by preventing fly
breeding" says DR.. w. A. Evans. an
eminent health authority and publ
cist. las a rule this means that no
collection of moist manure is to be left
accessible to flies for as long as a
week during hot weather.
Ely eggs and larvae live for a week
in hot weather in moist manure. There
fore, if manure is hauled away and
spread oftener than once a week it
Will not breed flies. The advantage of
a daily removal is that it means no
manure boxes, manure pits or manure
piles, and practical experience proves
that give a stable an inch and it takes
an ell.
"The only places that have entirely
conquered the fly nuisance remove
manure daily The only manure re-
ceptacles are small and portable. If
prompt removal is not possible the
next most effective procedure is treat
ment with chemicals.
The methods of treatment advised
by authorities are with boraX. or cole
mantle, or sulphate OF iron If the
amount of manure is small and a good
deal of ground is available spreading
in thin layers on the ground at inter
walls of three days or less is feasible

DON'T IGNORE
FLY MENACE
THIS SEASON

Many persons do not realize what a
serious menace the fly is to the health
of this community. 1t is characteristic

of danger until it threatens his own
family. "Oh, the fly may be the means
of carrying a fatal disease to some
puny person." you reason, perhaps,
but there's no danger Of his bringing

That is a characteristic attitude Of
soldiers. Rather, it used to be so.
Doubtless you remember the awful toll
of life taken among the soldiers en-
camped at Chickamauga during the

you can easily look it up. Those boys

the death of most of those stricken
with typhoid and dysentery.

CONSUMPTION GERMS
SPREAD BY FLIES

The great white plague-tuberculo-
sis-plain, deadly consumption Of the
lungs, causes more deaths than any
other disease in the United States.
Flies are a big factor in the spread of
this frightful ailment. To go into de-
tails of the subject is very disgusting,
but disgust will not kill anyone, Con
sumption will. and flies help.
Assuming that bedridden consump-
tives deposit their sputum only in

ter. consider the careless consumptive

this sputum, feed, cover their padded

men it was inevitable that some should
be disease carriers. The waste matter
which they threw off acted as an in
cubator for the bacteria which it car
ried. Flies and other insects, but es-
pecially flies, swarmed around the filth
sinks and fed. They were a frightful
annoyance at meal time, and they
were the army's most deadly enemy
for they distributed dangerous germs
among all the men. AS a result fever
and bowel diseases became almost an
epidemic. AS a nation we were taught
a solemn lesson about the menace of
insects. Our army medical men learned
more in the Philippines, in Cuba, in
Porto Rico and in the Canal Zone
about the relation of flies, mosquitoes
and lice to the spread of disease than
had previously been learned in two or
three thousand years.
Cleaner Than Homes.
Visit any of our army encampments
today. They are kept cleaner than the
average housekeeper keeps her prem

sanitary disposal of garbage. Of sew
age and of other waste matter coming
from the camp hospital. Elaborate
means of protection against flies, mos
quitoes, lice and bedbugs are taken
but flies are considered the most filthy
and dangerous from the medical point
of view.
1t is safe to say that if this com
munity should cooperate and act at
once so as to clean up the town thor
oughly, with special attention given
to the breeding places of flies, the
average of serious illness here would
be reduced so per cent for the months
Of June, July, August and September

HOW TO MAKE FLY PAPER

The use of sticky fly paper is better
than the use OF poison to trap flies.
Once a fly alights on sticky paper he
is pretty certain to stay there until
he dies. If you place a saucer contain

dining-room window, the flies drink
the deadly stuff but they do not die
Immediately. They may not die until
they reach the cream pitcher. If you
want to make your own sticky fly pa
per, boil together equal parts of castor
oil and resin and spread the substance
on tough paper before it cools.
