TOWNS BEST ADVERTISING.
A Municipality Without Flies 10 q Dc.
sirable Place to Live.


"A town without flies Is the best ad-
vertising town can have" said a
business man the other day. And
when he was asked why he thought
so he replied: There are several rea-
sons. First, everybody knows that a
town without flies is clean town, a
healthful town, where health matters
receive due attention. You would ex-
pect to find in 1t clean streets and al
leys, clean food shops and markets and
clean grocery stores and restaurants
It ts where you would feel easy to sit
down and eat without feeling suspi-
cious about the food that Is served you.
I'm the second place, 1t Is town that
has no filthy, fly breeding stables and
open surface closets. 1t takes care Of
its sewage and garbage and deems the
health Of its citizens worth protecting
For this reason you feel that such a
town is q good place In which to live.
I'm the third place, 1t would be a
town practically free from typhoid fe-
yer, infantile diseases, cholera and 9TH
er fly born diseases, to say nothing Of
other improved health conditions and
the comforts brought about by cleanli-
ness and the absence Of flies"
"But how are you going to have a
eyless town" the speaker was asked.
by going after the stables first" said
he. "and then by cleaning up the rest
Of the town and keeping it clean. To
~ %A -.
speaker, rs the only way not to have
dies. Towns that have succeeded In
controlling the ny menace went straight
for the stables flrst and then for the
open closets and other dirty places
where nies hnd breeding places. DR..
L. N. Mccormick. the ny fighter Of
Asheville, says, There is no royal road
to freedom from flies, but clean up and
keep clean is the winning slogan"

FARMERS COUNTRY CLUB.

sehooIhouse Utilized For Social and
Business Meetings.
A steam heating plant had just been
installed in the large, we'll equipped
district school in Wisconsin commu-
nifty. Two young farmers, says c. ].
Griflng in the Farm and Home, con-
ceived the idea Of a country clubroom
in the schoolhouse. stWhen the furnace
was started In the.fall It cost very lit
tie more to turn the heat on for even
ing use.
The clubroom is open every evening
in the week. The evening from to 8
o'clock Is spent in reading and from 8
to II p ~. in discussing agricultural
matters and in social intercourse Ex-
cept during this period none may speak
without recognition from the chairman
of the club, otherwise he is fined. Thus
order Is maintained, and an air of Sc
riousness is established without which
it could not continue.
The fact that the originators Of the
plan are farmers who take many prizes
each year at both the state and county
fairs gives them well deserved lead
ership in the community. When they
get up and express their opinion of
those farmers who allow their build
ings to run down and take no pride in
the general appearance Of their stock
and farms certain men sit up and take
seen.
Socially the club Is a grand success.
as all get to know and trust their
neighbors better. A common interest
draws them all closer together. The
women no longer complain Of the re-
straints Of farm life and, knowing that
the club IS for progress and not for
gossip, are greatly benefited by it.
The young people Of the neighborhood
are brought up to realize the possibii-
ties of farrs life and are never guilty Of
even thought Of leaving for the city.
The schoolteacher claims that her
success is half due to the fact that the
parents have become intimate with her
through this medium and that she now
has their cooperation, which is the
greatest aid to teacher in her work.
1t would be hard to reckon just the
amount of good this club has done.
Every one is wiser and happier, and it
has greatly increased the sum Of hui
man satisfaction to its members.
The average daily attendance is from
fifteen to twenty in a village Of about
5000 inhabitants. The annual fee is
81, payable quarterly. The officers are

When the warning nations agree to
suspend hostilides 1t Is more than
likely that Alfonso XIII. Of Spain will
be asked to act as one Of the media
tors. Indeed, his name has frequently
been mentioned In that connection.
During the present conflict Spain has
been strictly neutral. The king OF
Spain is connected by blood and mar
riage ties to both sides Of the contest.
His wife, Queen Victoria, belongs to
the English royal family, she being
first cousin to King George V. His
mother, the Dowager Queen Marie
Christina, was an Austrian archduch-
ess. She Is sister Of Archduke Fred
erick, commander-in-chief of the Aus
trian armies, and her sympathies natu-
rally are with the Teutonic allies.
King Alfonso Is so popular with all
his brother monarchs, and equally pop
ular In republican France, that 1t is
not improbab BILE that he may be chosen
as a peace mediator in the end. He is
a great favorite with the emperor Of
gone for advice, and his position at
the English court is cordial and init
mate. His silence on all matters touch
ing the war has shown wisdom and
discretion.
Alfonso was born in May, 1886, and
was married to Princess Victoria of
Battenberg in 1906 They have six
living children, and another died at
birth. The crown prince and heir ap-
parent, Don Alfonso, prince Of the
Asturias, Is now nine years Of age.
