PLENTY OF WORK
At THE RADIANT MINE

A representative of the Florence
Citizen made visit TO the Radiant
mine of the Victor American Fuel
company at Pyrolite few days ago
and found Superintendent James
Sirithers and his force of employees
busily engaged in loading the storage
coal near the entrance of the mine
on cars in readiness for shipment to
market. In an account of what he
saw the Citizen says:
THE mine proper does not work
on Sunday, but part of the force
will be engaged for the next fifteen
Sundays loading the dump storage
coal which was mined during the
strike. The Radiant mine is work.
ing every day with good prospects to
continue for an Indefinite period. In
fact the coal men say the markets
are in excellent condition and there
are plenty of orders ahead. The prop
erty is operating at the present time
with a shortage of men and at least
sixty miners could find employment
there. according TO Superintendent
Struthers.
The Radiant property produces a
fine grade of coal and at least seven
ty-five per cent of the output is lump
which is said to be larger percent
age than any other mine in the coun.
ty. The coal measures have only
been scratched and il is predicted
that in the years to come that local
~ Viii be the center of the coal min
ing activity in the Fremont county
field.
-four sullivan long wall mining ma
chimes are employed in the Radiant
mine which are capable of doing the
work of several hundred men under
the old plan. Thru the courtesy OF
Superintendent Struthers and Mr..
Little. we We're given demonstra
ton of how the machine works and
Il is certainly a marvel.

The HOUSE FLY
(5y Margaret Davis, Rockvaie.)
Eighth Grace Pupil.

NOTE-This is just a sample of
the excellent work being done by the
students at Rockvale.
The house fly is a carrier of dis
ease. House flies hatch from eggs
which are laid in decaying matters
The young flies are like white worms
and are called maggots. From mag
gots they change to brown pupaa
and from them to full grown flea
and are ready to carry disease.
The flies are able to walk ON
smooth surfaces and ceilings with
their back downward by a hairiike
cushion on their feet which serves
to hold them in place, partly by =
gluelike fluid secretion, and partly
by being able to remove the air from
below the feet by means of suckers
thru the hair. The pressure from
the outside serving to support the
fly. The flies eyes immovabie and
shaped like a dome. Each eye is
made up of great many smaller
eyes until it looks like a honeycomb-
As each fly lays more than one
hundred eggs at one time and a new
generation can be produced in a week
the increase is very rapid
A few flies survive the winter by
Staying III a SucttcIcu pidSc 81 thSJ
preserve the species in that way.
Flies carry disease between peo-
pie by walking over the food and
also by biting people.
In Egypt when the people were for
hidden by their religion from killing
flies and other insects. many of them
were diseased.
Many people think flies are of some
use since they are on earth. but this
is not true. We should try to kill
every fly.
Sticky fly paper is about the best
way to ge the flies as when fly poison
is used the flies usually choose the
milk pitcher as a grave yard; babies
are sometimes poisoned by drinking
fly poison.
